Food is always amazing. Cute little rum bar with full bar. Great service, too.
First time visiting, Relaxed, Great Rum theme!! Cocktails on point! Carino for coffee lovers!!
Eh. I used to love coming here and came several times with my girlfriends. Then, I decided to bring my husband and we got a different waiter than I normally do. This waiter wasn’t very nice or friendly. He actually made me feel pretty uncomfortable and also the food was gross. Drinks were very very sour. I don’t think I’ll come back.
6/5 stars!! Wow everything was just so delicious!
Cool little bar with amazing drinks. Mainly rum focused but they have just about everything. They also have a small menu of food options. We had a smoked old fashioned and a Cobra Fang! Also ordered the Jerk Chicken Satay and Costa Rican Pork Tacos. Both very good. Definitely going back. Parking: Lots of parking
Sidecar is such a great new addition to the area. Tropical drinks were all delightful. Service was excellent. The decor and ambiance are so cozy and relaxing it makes you feel like you’re on a tropical island.
The 1937 Cobra Fang is one of the best cocktails I've ever had. Will definitely be stopping back.
TLDR/Conclusion: With a Miami-centric intent and a broad spirits and extra-Miamian (Hawaiian+) decor/food selection, this spot feels like it is run by a committee with a few different visions and a general aspiration to be a lot of things when just a single, well-executed vision would do. We may return after some time. We visited on a Friday night for the first time. Looking for fun drinks and a fun vibe, we sat at the bar and ordered a 1937 Cobra Fang and an Espresso Martini. On the positive, we were met with friendly smiles and a warm greeting. The vibe was pretty good and the intimate atmosphere led to a good conversation and comfort. Service was timely and prices seemed fair. We noted a few observations/opportunities. First, the 1937 Cobra Fang was listed with a rum of El Dorado 8, however, was served with Flor de Cana 7 (we watched this substitution happen with all Fangs) and it was not communicated which seemed deceptive. I doubt most people would notice, but it raised some concern. The Espresso Martini was made with the ingredients listed and did not contain actual espresso, which was a risk we wished we wouldn't have taken. Finally for round two, I requested a local (RVA) rum, and a full pour was not available. Another opportunity might be that the bar had over 210 bottles on the bar. Don't get me wrong, a good selection, particularly for the "rum forward" approach they take, makes sense. However, for a spot with a "curated spirits list including hard-to-find bourbons and tequilas", having so many options takes away from the stated experience in my opinion. It just feels a bit all over the place and unable to fully deliver on the basics. *no food was sampled.
