😠 Poor quality and really pricey! The $11 burger is the same you get for $5 in some other place, the French fries were simply potato chips. AVOID IT! People often mention drinks, recommend, card,

    Disgusting food, served us tacos with molded cheese. We ate two before we realized. When we told the owner or bartender the cheese was molded he didn’t care. He was a prick. Don’t eat here!!! Waste of money.

    It was my dream to go to Miami, and actually the event was not to go to Miami, it was to go to this bar in Miami, I loved the drinks and the atmosphere was too good I can only recommend

    Honestly I don’t leave reviews very often, but don’t even waste your time or money. Very very dirty, burgers are AWFUL and dry. No servers, drinks are watered down and the bathroom is FOUL. 10/10 don’t recommend.

    The food was absolutely disgusting. They also charge a very high gratuity with bad service. I ordered two cheap drinks and awful nachos with a $35 hookah. Somehow this resulted in my bill being $100!! After the automatic gratuity. I could have gone somewhere much much nicer if i was expecting to pay that kind of money. This place is a RIP OFF dont let the $6 beers fool you because it wont be $6!

    Would give 0 stars tbh. Food was really bad, and don't even get me started regarding the waiter's attitude. Worst part is that he over charged us for the food twice the original price. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.

    BE AWARE!!! OF DOUBLE BILLING The waitress charged my card $55 for dinner but told me the card did not go through. She then charged a second card $55. When I noticed from my PayPal APP that the first charge did go through I showed the waitress and she told me it would drop off but it did not. Tried to call Porch Bar & Bites to dispute but the number is disconnected. BE AWARE OF DOUBLE BILLING SCAM

    Very chill vibe. Great music. The drinks are NOT overpriced which is hard to find in the area. Hookah at a good price. It’s a great place if you don’t want to be overwhelmed with people. My wife and I loved the frozen drinks.

    Ask for Erdal. He is the BOMB. Made the best espresso martini I’ve ever had and those aren’t even my go-to drinks!!!!!! He is so much fun. Highly recommend.

    You're able to have drinks right off of the beach in Hollandale area, you can sit, eat, drink alcohol and enjoy TV sports entertainment and music. Nice beachside bar and food!

  • 5/5 Carla B. 2 years ago on Google
    Environment is fun and exciting. Food is super good and the drinks ( if prepared by the right one) are amazing. I HIGHLY recommend if you go, order a strawberry peach DAQUARI. You'll thank me for it! But honestly, great staff and high quality street entertainment!!

    We came here for spring break and the first night we stopped in for a night cap and the rest was history. The overwhelming joy this place gave my friends and I was something we’ve never felt! Erdal makes the best espresso martinis, he needs a raise right now. He went above and beyond to made us feel right at home :)

  • 5/5 Liv B. 1 year ago on Google
    Came in here for a late night drink and ended up having the best espresso martini i’ve ever had, Erdal is the sweetest and makes the best drinks. This place is so welcoming and I 100% recommend coming here if you are in South Beach! Will be coming here again!!

  • 5/5 Jenna B. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an amazing little bar. It was on the block from our hotel and it could not feel more like home. Erdal was a fantastic host and bartender and made our group of 10 feel right at home. Also.. the espresso martinis… BEST IVE EVER HAD. This place is great!!

  • 5/5 Caroline B. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing daiquiri 🙂 I came to Miami craving one and this is exactly what I wanted. We ordered a hookah (blueberry mint) and hung out on the patio with cocktails. Very comfy spot and Eldar took incredible care of us! We’ll be back for sure.

    UPDATE 7/20/22: beware they will add extra money to your bill after you leave! Original my bill total was $36.70 and that’s what my card reflected. Now that the pending transaction has went through it’s $38.70 for a $12.95 drink and $14.95 appetizer. The Math DONT ADD UP. I know I did not add any tip past the 18% gratuity because the service was awful! My bill should have been around $33-35 after 18% gratuity and 7.5% city tax. But I have extra charges on my card that was not reflected on the paper receipt I signed. Original (7/16/22) Came with family. Owner was working the bar. He had a nasty attitude from the moment I asked for a menu. It was soaking wet and he tossed me napkins to clean it myself. We ordered. The drinks where watered down with very little liquor (think 1 shot of alcohol for a whole blender amount of ice and a some mixer, then only 2/3 make it to your cup). The food was gross. The Porch burger was a regular burger and super dry which only comes with a small amount of Lays potato chips. I was charged $37 for a Patron Margarita and wings. The margarita was bitter with no sweetness. I asked for the bartender/owner to sweetener it and he threw me a packet of sugar saying he doesn’t have simple syrup which is essential for a margarita to begin with; So I got a pina colada instead. The wings where 8 little party wings so basically 4 regular wings that were just as subpar as the burger. Overpriced and disgusting attitude!! The table busser was the only person to greet us with kindness during the entire time we patronized this place. Save your money and go across the street or anywhere else on south beach!!! Oh and they’re card machine is wonky so be ware!!!
