Cucu's Nest Bar

Bar Bar and grill Night club Live music bar

🫤 They bill an automatic 20% “service charge” that they state “is not a tip.” Well then what is the service charge? Just basically theft? More money for the owners in exchange for nothing? Absolute scam. I will not be coming back here unless that policy changes. $39.88 for two “Happy Hour” drinks! 😂...

    Nice spot for happy hour, catch a game, dance, and play pool. The staff is great here. Definitely drop by if you in Miami beach.

    Definitely it’s a nice place to hangout. They are open until 5am if you want to hangout until late night. I love the atmosphere and music. Very friendly bartenders. Nice price, clean service, pool table, sports, food. Highly recommend.

    I went to this place on a Monday night, there was almost no one there, and all of their drinks were about $10. So I got 1 drink -off the menu- for both my boyfriend and I and got charged $45. I was so upset, but told my boyfriend "let's just play pool to try to make coming here worth it" and then they tried to charge us by the HALF HOUR to play pool. I will never be coming back here again. We got up charged for being the only ones there giving them business and then continued to try to scam us for a game of pool.

    Owner is a thief. How are you going to add a 20% service charge on the bill that isn’t a tip for the bartenders? You’re telling me that if they also want to leave a 20% tip, customers are paying 40% on top of what they spend? Insane

    Drinks are pricey and not good but they also throw a $15 "service fee" on your bill without it being posted or even told about it before we were served. They also make sure to remind you this is not a tip. $110 for 3 drinks and one beer. What a scam. Spend your money elsewhere.

    This place is horrible and overpriced. My husband and I went in there for food, drinks, music. The food-- wings, tenders, etc. are $20. Fries, separately, are about $9, but whatever we were in Miami having fun so we went with it. Let me tell you, they had the nerve to serve a cut up grilled single chicken cutlet as "chicken tenders". The fries were burnt. it was an absolute joke. The bartender apologized and I definitely got a refund but it is an absolute no!

    This place was a dive. Looked like a good bar when we walked it but we are always skeptical when a place does not advertise its cocktail prices. Deciding to take the plunge I stood at the bar for over 15mins waiting to order... There were 3 others at the bar in a group placing an order but the barmaid really hadn't a clue or realise there where others waiting. After 20min without so much as eye contact with the barmaid we got up and left.

    Love the vibe!! We had a great time the bartenders were really sweet and the drinks are really good. Definitely go if you’re in South Beach.

    Cucu's Nest is a trendy bar in South Beach. Stop by for the welcome shot. The prices are in line with alot of the bars in the area. They have a two pool table and hookah also for entertainment.

  • 3/5 kendra r. 4 months ago on Google
    20 for single shot of jack dails honey. Of course i tip . Reminder all of Miami changes gratuity. I expected. Every thing else fine

  • 5/5 Aundrea T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to hangout at. Need more bartenders. When having a big crowd. But, that young Lady bartender. Picked up my change. She thought I was living her a tip. She wasn't my bartender. The guy was.

  • 3/5 Jasmine C. 6 months ago on Google
    It was ok. Just a small Walk through bar. The bathrooms need updating. There is an off putting smell. I would give 5 stars to the bar tender I had he was awesome and fun! He was the reason I stayed. But the bar sucked. Also someone got ran over by a car outside of this bar while we were in it.

  • 5/5 Élisabeth G. 9 months ago on Google
    We went on a monday and we had so much fun! The music was good and we were able to play pool all the time we were there. They offered shooters and drinks on the house and the bartenders were very kind and nice! We had so much more fun than going to a club. I recommend for anyone who wants to have a fun night out. Thank you so much it was a great last night in Miami.

    It's a nice place in the afternoon to avoid crowds, but it's rather empty and the music wasn't working or one of the lights. The bartender is really sweet though, she's definitely the highlight of the place.

  • 1/5 Olivia 1 year ago on Google
    AVOID. Happy hour margaritas for $10 are meh. 30 mins of pool cost $10 even if you just play for 15 mins. The pool cues will give you splinters if you're not careful. And they don't tell you it costs $10 til it's time to pay..... Everyone who worked there seemed miserable.....would not recommend unless your only goal is to take insta pics with the indoor tree mural.

  • 2/5 Jayson C. 1 year ago on Google
    Empty bar, loud music yes but atmosphere was lame. 19 for a titos n water....just stupid!! At LIV they are only 15...and thats the top club in Miami. Rip off!

  • 1/5 Alyssa P. 9 months ago on Google
    If I could give you zero stars I would. Absolutely horrible. Completely over priced. Hookah sucked, food was trash and the drinks were terrible. I paid $300 for hookah, two cheeseburgers, one side of fries, and two shots. Don’t waste your time going here so

  • 5/5 Luis V. 1 year ago on Google
    I had such a good time here. Romy is a great bartender and took good care of us. Definitely check it out.

  • 5/5 Rachel F. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun bar in Miami Beach. We arrived at 10pm and was able to play a few games of pool for no cost. It was buy a shot & get a drink free as well. Good music that turned into karaoke. Good time!

  • 4/5 Gio L. 1 year ago on Google
    Kinda nice place to stop by and get a couple drinks and spend a little time or play Pool 🎱 The only thing the music toooo loud to talk and the maintenance of the place is not the best. But I coul came back sometime

  • 1/5 Henry P. 1 year ago on Google
    Music was blaring loud. The bartender told me a service charge wasn't a tip (it is). I didn't know any better so I tipped her. Drinks were mediocre at best. This place STINKS!

  • 5/5 Enrique O. 1 year ago on Google
    Every time we come to Miami we stop by to see Romy at Cucus nest. We stumbled on this bar a while back and keep coming back cuz of the good drinks and to see her.

  • 1/5 Sunshine Nicole S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was not packed and the service was horrific. We brought business in and they were rude and a glass was broken and they made us pay $8 for a slightly broken glass. I have never in my life paid for a glass I broke in a bar. They made us feel uncomfortable when we asked for water first and made sure we were paying customers. Do not go here. You are in Miami this is unacceptable if you can't handle a small amount of customers sell the business to someone who can handle a booming night life!
