    These days one has to be understanding with the availability of food items - nothing is as it was. The lack of the two items on the menu that I could eat led me to a third option, a delicious quinoa salad with a lovely dressing. That, and a cool Old Fashioned made a rainy Friday a lovely start to the weekend!

    The food is unexpected good. All my friends gave the same comments about the food. However, sometimes the service is a little bit slow. But overall is a good place for relaxing.

    Great Sunday brunch!!! Ordered the #52 burger medium, no cheese. Flavor was awesome, waiter Tate was great and the atmosphere with bottomless margaritas made for a great day birthday celebration with friends! Loved that they offer bottomless margaritas and not just mimosas and Bloody Mary.

    My second time here to give it another shot as I wasn't impressed by my dinner a few months ago. Sat outside for happy hour and although the restaurant was pretty much empty, our food took a very long time to come out. I believe it was sitting a while because it was not hot when it arrived. I ordered the Margherita Flatbread and it did not come with any basil and the crust tasted slightly undercooked. I ate 2 pieces and left the rest. My friend also had to get up to go find a staff person to pay the tab. With there being maybe 2 other parties in the restaurant I think the service could've been a bit better.

    Great location, live music on Wednesday nights. And not impressed. These are just my personal opinions. The Sangria drinks were... Unique? But didn't seem like Sangria at all. We tried three off their menu, thinking maybe we just ordered badly with the first two. But the third one was just as off. The meals? Barbeque chicken Flat bread pizza was I guess okay, but the middle pieces were double stacked. When I asked the server about this he explained the pizza was just too large for the plate. Well then buy new plates, no? But if you look at the pictures, the pizza was definitely not too large for the plate. The steak sandwich was overdone, and the pieces were so large as to require a knife to cut. Normally one might expect the steak to be cut up to allow biting into the sandwhich, but not this one. And way too much bread for the amount of steak. Three sandwich was like a hogie bread with an overdone flank steak in the middle. Two drinks (~ 12 to 15 each), steak sandwich (~ 15), flat bread pizza (~ 15), tax and tip will be around $75 . Happy hour was half price drinks.

    They were very busy last night due to karaoke. However they still were able to take orders quickly. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart.

    Pub 52 on a Saturday night is an experience in contrasts. There were dishes that were a big hit (Short Rib Grilled Cheese, Truffle fries) and those that fell flat (Korean Fried Chicken). The Korean Fried Chicken fell flat because I expected that the kitchen would actually use Gochujang, the Korean Red Chili Garlic sauce that dominates cuisine on the peninsula and is readily available in Asian and mainstream grocers in South Florida. Instead, Pub 52 used a hybrid of BBQ sauce and some mild peppers, making it a sweet, rather than spicy-sweet fried chicken dish. It didn't work for me, though the presentation was fantastic. Their draft menu (huge drink local sign at the bar) was solid, but more than 2/3 of the beers were not in stock due to a college football crowd that cleaned them out earlier in the day. This reeked of poor planning as they should have been prepared for a Saturday pre-Hurricane evening crowd as well. The band playing classic rock from 8 - 10:30 pm was appreciated and enthusiastically received by an older crowd. Our server wore a mask, but I saw several staff wearing their mask incorrectly as a chinguard. Lots of maskless people dancing near the stage, however the tables well we'll spaced. Food and drink took a long time to arrive. We were a party of six, but even when there were just two of us, service was on the slow side. Pub 52 is in transition during a tricky time for the restaurant industry. For them to thrive, they must improve on the service side. Reservations are accepted by phone or web. Undecided if I will return.

    Came into Pub52 Saturday night first time visiting for the comedy show. Was a great time! My wife enjoyed taco bites & a martini while I had one of the best old fashions I’ve ever had. We didn’t think of doing much after the comedy show but the Lina band came on and was great made us stay well past the time we had originally thought and had a great tie dancing.

    We can't decide what was better about Pub 52... the food, the service, the music... it was all great, but we'd have to say the service was the best. It is all led by the guidance and hospitable example of General Manager Devon, with the great table service from Cielo and Brandon, and excellent drink-making by Joshua behind the bar. Back to the food, though, we recommend the taco bites and the ribs appetizers, truly delicious. We also love the live bands that always play there. Looking forward to our next visit!!

    Let me just start that I rarely complain about service, but this time was unbelievable. My husband and I were in town visiting his elderly parents (78 & 79). We went specifically to see a friend of his father who was in a band playing here. We called ahead of time to reserve a table. They tell my mother-in-law it’s $50 pp to reserve a seat and then take her credit card number over the phone. We arrive at the exact time of our reservation (7:45pm) and get seated at our table. A waiter named Blake gives us all waters and then said our waitress would be right with us and asks if we wanted anything to drink. We ordered a glass of wine, a draft beer and a corona beer. About 20 minutes later the manager walks by and asks if we have been waited on, we said that we think so because someone took our drink order but we wanted to order food. He sends a waitress over about 10 minutes later. She gets our appetizer order and then we wait for about another 30 minutes. We still don’t have our drinks so I go up to the bar and order drinks. Took about 10 minutes for it at the bar. When I got back to the table our original drink order had arrived. So now we wait for our appetizers another 15 minutes or so. I go to the manager and ask what’s up. Other tables around us who arrived later than we did had already been served their drinks and food and we still haven’t gotten our appetizers or been able to order dinner. It’s already now about an hour and a half since we have been there. We finished our now 2 drinks each and still nothing. No one came to our table, no one took our order, no one checked in us and all. I’m adding a picture of our table with our 2 drinks each and the menus. We finally ended up leaving there hungry around 9:30pm almost 2 hours after arriving and had to order something for pick up on our way home. I was so disappointed because the menu looked great but we couldn’t tell you if it was good because we never received it.

    Food is mediocre. Atmosphere is good for watching sports. Wide Awake U2 tribute band is good but the singer is not. Don't waste your time and money.

    A Hidden Gem for Jazz Lovers! Jazz Thursdays at Pub52 exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I stepped in, I was captivated by the soulful melodies that filled the air. The talented musicians transported me to a different time and place with their incredible performances. The intimate setting of Pub52 created the perfect atmosphere for enjoying jazz music. The acoustics were spot on, allowing every note to resonate beautifully. The staff were attentive and made sure that everyone had a great experience. The food and drink options were also top-notch. The menu boasted a variety of delicious small bites and an impressive selection of wines and craft beers. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or simply looking for a unique night out, Jazz Thursdays at Pub52 is a hidden gem that should not be missed!

    Delicious wine and wonderful champagne. The bites are good as well and they get a great DJ on the weekend. I prefer to go to Happy Hour during the week when the scene is a bit calmer and you will find as space for sure. On the weekend, get there early with a big group, or go with 4 or less people if you don't have a reservation.

    Owner doesn’t know how to run a business or at least have proper courtesy. Applied with an up to date resume and was told to come interview, drove across Miami wasting gas and time to do so, just for the interview to be cut short at the 20 second mark (literally) because the owner couldn’t be bothered to actually look over my resume. What was the purpose of wasting my time? Not surprised they’re always looking for staff and management.

    Looking for a sports bar with a higher end vibe. This was it! There’s a live band playing classic rock and rock n roll, definitely had us up and dancing. The service was excellent! The food was delicious the first two times I visited (Friday night during the NBA finals & Thursday during happy hour). Our third visit was good at all. The kitchen was completely off but the manager and waiter were understanding and helpful.

    Attention job seekers : This place gave me the worst interview I’ve ever had in my life. Came in for interview, was handed a dirty application. Hosts were rude, spilled a drink on my application before giving it to me. Was not allowed to sit at bar to complete BARTENDER application. They want you out of sight, out of mind. They exiled me to a table to fill out their dirty and wet application. Took forever to get the interview I was scheduled for, these people dress all fancy but are quite unprofessional. Job seekers, I recommend you skip this place. They have no respect for me or you.

    I normally am not one to take the time to write a review, but for this I had to say something. I have been to pub 52 a couple of times after the pandemic, and have always had an experience that I would say was ok, maybe good at best. This past Saturday afternoon I stopped by for lunch and noticed it was far busier than the last time I was there for lunch on the weekend when we were the only table. I quickly noticed there was only one server who was somehow managing an abundance of tables many of which were large in size and scattered all throughout the restaurant inside and out. He greeted us promptly with a smile, and made us feel welcomed despite the overwhelming amount of customers. Others still continued to flood in after we had sat. Our drinks and food did take a bit of time to reach us, but I noticed the server would walk straight to the computer after conversing with each table to (I would assume) ring things in. It seemed there was only one bartender in the restaurant as well. Despite what was an overwhelming surge of people, we were communicated with and still felt attended to and valued. I personally have no problem with long wait times so long as I am not forgotten about. The food and drinks were excellent, and the server was polite, friendly, and handling the business rush professionally and with composure. Having a pleasant experience matters more to me than being in and out of a restaurant. My only complaint would be there seemed to be no manager, and there was again only one sever/bartender, with no person to host, clean tables, or bring the food for the server. I understand labor has been tough for place's recently, and am happy to see this place doing well! I would definitely recommend this place.

    Came in for Happy Hour bartender Alex was very friendly and knowledgeable. Was greeted by Becky the manager in the front who told us about the fabulous bar bites. Korean BBQ ribs are AMAZING!

    If you go out to eat you expect food to be better than the one you cook!! I tried the tuna tartare super seasoned, too sweet, and you barely could taste the tuna, but it was a fine portioned so that's alright Pork belly bao, terrible! A little piece of hard pork with tons of unnecessary sugar, I think 19$ is a lot for that, didn't even eat the second one (3). The environment was great, they had live music. But the real reason why I won't be coming back, on top of my check, they charged me 30$ in a different transaction and I only noticed when I checked my bank account. To get a refund, I tried calling 6-7 times, and was only able to get it a week after.

    Mixes reviews on this spot. We enjoyed the atmosphere, and the hostess and manager were very friendly and attentive. Our server was nice but obviously overwhelmed. She made several mistakes on our orders, and we ate our dinner before our appetizers came out. I was easier to walk to the bar and pay for our drinks than getting them from our server. We did, however, enjoy our food. I would give them another try with hopefully better results.

  • 5/5 Lee A. 11 months ago on Google
    My family And I celebrate my mother birthday and I was incredibly please with service and preparation of the food. The staff really did a good job in taking care of us and making it a wonderful evening for my mother's birthday. I can't wait to go back since we were truly please with service and the food.

  • 1/5 jean n. 11 months ago on Google
    Terrible service! Had to send the drink back and had to send the cowboy burger back twice! They don’t have enough servers in this establishment. We don’t mind paying $18. for a hamburger and $15. for a drink bit when the glass comes half full and the cowboy burger didn’t even come with the bacon and mushrooms as it stated on the menu that is a disappointment! we are generous in leaving tips wherever we go, but sadly we left zero tip as service was beyond terrible!

    Went over the weekend with my family. The food was beyond amazing, it was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. We also ordered their sangrias & they were sooo refreshing. The servers and bartenders were super friendly and accommodating which made the overall good experience a great one. Definitely coming back!

  • 5/5 Trevor B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good food, excellent bourbon and wine choices and just an overall good vibe. @Mantrap band played all genres of music taking us through the 80's to today's pop music. Had an awesome time dancing and meeting some cool people.

  • 1/5 carlos r. 9 months ago on Google
    The place is super nice great area very safe and very family friendly, super nice mix of American Latin live band. I took my mother 75 she loved it. The food was terrible. Tostones shrimp with a black dripping sauce for No reason didn't taste well to anyone. Calamari where very small portions and Not very good. We ended up order wigs twice to be safe. Food options are super limited. I truly believe the place has so much potential by improving the food or appetizers

  • 4/5 A K. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice location with reasonably priced food. They had a live band and TVs throughout. This was a plus because we were able to watch football. Our waitress was super sweet and the food was pretty good.

  • 2/5 claire l. 4 months ago on Google
    Went here once for bottomless an hour and half before it ended. It took 45 mins for our first drink and it ended before we could even get our second. the manager “did us a favor” by refunding our bottomless purchase, but then made us pay $18 each for the one glass we had.

  • 4/5 Shakhnoza N. 4 months ago on Google
    We came here for a quick bite to eat. Cool design. The staff was welcoming & the food was tasty. It took a while for the food to arrive though.

  • 5/5 Heidi S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my new favorite restaurant! Thursday night karaoke is so much fun and the restaurant itself is fabulous! The food is really good, the drinks are GREAT, the wait staff is so friendly and accommodating and the manager always makes sure we are happy. He goes above and beyond! It’s going to be the new hot spot for me and my friends!

  • 5/5 ben a. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a lot of fun. The band was a little loud but they were still good so It wasn't unbearable. The food was excellent and served huge portions. It's a nice little spot

  • 4/5 Paula C. 2 years ago on Google
    The wine list is extensive, though not inexpensive. Happy hour augments this as many wines and beers are 50% off. Definitely will be back here as I like the vibe and the elegant, but relaxing atmosphere!
