Disclaimer - I am not originally from Miami but I have lived here for 8 years now. So I still view the place through the eyes of a tourist sometimes .... That being said, THIS PLACE ROCKS !!! Is is cheesy ? Is is overpriced ? Is there High Cover at night ? Yes, Yes. Yes. But this place is best enjoyed in the afternoon because there is no cover charge then and the service is better because there are less people. The food is pretty good for what it is but is is high brow bar food. How would order a steak in any other night club anyway ? The live music quality is based on what band is playing and they have 6 regular and rotating bands. I suggest Saturday and Sunday afternoons while the Reggae ( not reggaton ) band plays - you get great show, good service and food then. My Tips: 1. Come before 8 PM miss the cover charge 2. Drinks are $$$ but if you ask for an extra shot they will be strong 3. But you drinks at the bar and tip - the extra shots will be free 4. If you have a Group of 5 or more ask for Mojito room I happen to like big booty women dancing in spandex and drunk tourist chics who like those dudes dancing - it makes for a good time and better " hunting " Plus since I am not a great salsa dancer I look good compared with all the pasty white tourist from up north and Germany. Go Judge for yourself and if you want come with me -

Happy hour and ambiance are the reasons to come here. Every other month a group of arts education providers from around LA gather here to talk shop, and it is the perfect environment to talk, drink, and not be drowned out by TVs or frat boys. It is a great local hangout in the middle of a revitalized downtown area.

Excuse the pun, but "spare" me the attitude at this new style "upscale" bowling alley. It's in on the access road of 285 for goodness sake. The decor is extreme makeover handsome but they wiped away all the kitsch that goes along with a bowling alley, and left it all quite sterile. The lanes are still the old lanes from Chamblee bowl, and the house balls are older than the gum still stuck under the resurfaced counters.
