My favourite place around town. The food is excellent and the wait staff are friendly, The food served quick and the prices are reasonable. Drinks are also delicious. Just an awesome and good vibes SF scene kinda place. I love it.
Extremely rude. Lam crowd. don’t recommend
The drinks are delicious, and the crowd is interesting -- if youre not in the mood for food, and want the same yummy drinks (and a DJ) walk up the street to Little Baobab!
Unusual but interesting establishment that converts to a night club at night. Bit of a hole in the wall with ethnic Senegalese art and reminisce throughout.
Amazing time with friends, table up front is the best.
Walked in and out after one drink so my review is limited to a Friday night visit at around 12:30am for about 15 minutes. The place was crowded and jumping. Music is loud as expected in a club. Went to the upstairs area where some friends had an area reserved. Walked to the bar and order a gin and tonic which was small but strong. That was about $15. Wouldnt purchased two at that rate.
Rudest bartender ever. She had no tap beers which wasnt her fault....but then she was super rude about the drinks we ordered. She was just short with us. Not friendly at all.
Great variation of music. Danced all night!
This place is a gem! The coconut rum drink is not to be missed. The apps were all good. Mafe and didi were all very delicious. Service was great! Get there early or make a reservation!
The atmosphere was great. Bar tenders friendly and fast. Drinks can get a little expensive but theyre all delicious. Get a 4 oz painkiller and youll be good for the night.
4 stars just because they have high prices. 4 beers with tips $40 dollars. I didnt go to the bathroom so I cant have a reference. Nobody stole my cell phone, I hop to dont have problems whit identity theft. The place was very nice, cool, good music, good service, and they didnt charge cover. I liked.
The only reason I’m leaving two stars is because Jose the bartender took care of us and makes one of the best old fashion drinks in Miami. The service at Racket was terrible. My girl friend and I reserved a vacant table top for New Years Eve to ring in the new year and soon after the mid night the manager had us moved for reasons unknown and had are hookah taken as well. A hookah that I also paid to have at the table top. The service was terrible, the waitresses were rude, and the manager was spineless because he did this after disrespecting my girl friend because she wouldn’t give him any play. I went to use the bathroom and after I got back everything was gone. My girl friend was at the bar waiting on me and had explained the entire situation to me. I asked the bar tender what happened and he told me that they had us moved even though we had a bottle reserved already and asked if we’d like to stay at the bar instead. Needless to say I closed my tab and left. I’m a Miami native and love my city. I wouldn’t want anyone not from here to experience the poor hospitality that was shown to us or anyone that lives here for that matter. Your better off going to wood tavern, brick, booze garden, or even coyo. But don’t waste your time or money at Racket.
Amazing sharing dishes. The best crab cake/patty. Awesome dish. Wonderful atmosphere.
Great food and drinks. Wonderful staff
Good vibes, good music and reasonably priced drinks! Will definitely be going back. ]
Came here on a Sunday night. We stopped by 4 different venues/bar clubs and this was the only one with air conditioning and no cover charge for guys. Highly rec if you are going with a couple/group of friends and are looking for quality service, AC, space to dance and quality music. My SO and I both really enjoyed it compared to the venue across the street that had a $20 cover fee for guys and was outdoors w no AC.
Ive been here only a few times and never had a problem. I decided to celebrate Rackets 2nd anniversary Why not? Cool spot, hadnt experienced anything crazy... yet!!! I constantly check that I have all my belongings with me because you never know. There was a line to get to the bathroom, I had my phone then, never took it out while I was in the stall but as soon as I leave I notice I didnt have it on me. I advised the staff right away and everyone was very non-nonchalant, like I was some kind of pre-schooler that lost a crayon. Ive come across a handful of similar reviews so it doesnt even surprise me yet its sickening. Its 2020, why are we stealing phones and not turning them in? I would go off more but its honestly not even worth it. If you decide to go to Racket, dont come with a phone or if you do, make sure its far up where the sun dont shine. The audacity is out of this world!!!
Great environment. Amazing place to spend time. Great selection of drinks. Everyone enjoyed the dance. Perfect music. Services was nice.
Vibe was nice but the black girl at the front door tries to get over on you when paying with a large bill. She definitely over charged me $15 because i wasnt paying attention. It was at a afro beat night
Went there on my birthday in August 2019 (photo). Consistently great music and drinks. Just wish it was larger, and had more sitting areas.
Great vibe. Attentive bartenders. Friendly crowd. Good prices. Nice place to lounge for a few with friends.
Beautiful venue. Very nice staff, especially Amanda, the bartender. She was amazing and well be coming back to the area specifically to see her again!
Great time. Friendly staff
Cool spot.
Must visit if in wynwood, Spacious bar indoor and out door. Pool tables, TVS, drinks are good and the bartender are great. Very lay back place with crouches and good AC.
BEWARE! would give 0 stars if I could. They steal phones at Racket and their security and manager do NOTHING to help. Did some research and phones have been stolen for months- up to 12 phones in one night?! Extremely disappointed and disgusted to see that phones have consistently been stolen for MONTHS and nothing has been done. Kinda sketchy on Rackets part if you ask me.I found out my phone was stolen within 10 minutes of being inside and went to security at the front door. His response was yeah hes taken like 7 phones tonight, the guy left. How are you aware that 7 phones have been taken and not partner with the cops that are right outside?@Racket- what are you doing about this? what are you doing to protect your clients? This is absurd.DO NOT GO HERE. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR PHONES AND BELONGINGS!
I went to many clubs around the area that night. This was the only cool one
Had a good time with my friends, we went nearby on Sunday and were given flyers for free rum and cokes so we checked it out and yes, music was great, drinks were great. Thumbs up!
The indoor bouncer/security was cool. He was ready to get people out who were pushing you or inappropriate. The environment was cool. The DJ was ok. I would come back again.
This is a fun bar in if you are looking for speciality cocktails which seems to be the trend. Great happy hour till 7 with cocktails for 8.00 and craft beer for 5.00.The 4 stars is for the quality of drinks served here. Great atmosphere for sipping drinks not recommended for a first date unless your looking to scream to talk or exchange a few words. This place is packed and only 2 bartenders and 1 waitress but you wouldnt know it as our drinks continued to come. Definitely recommend.
Nice place to start the party! Nice crowd, music is ok, good drinks. Will be back when in Miami.
Great place for drinks and dance the night away. Excellent service and clean facilities.
This bar is a great place to start your evening for a happy hour, or to keep it going with fun music later in the evening.
Borderline scam. If youre a guy they hide the place to pay cover inside. The wristbands they give out are supposed to cover a free drink...but once you get in the bartenders will tell you that for some reason or another your wristband doesnt cover a drink (happened to 4 guys). Music is just ok, definitely too loud. Bathroom line is ridiculous.
Really cool spot n great staff...
Lots of fun, good music and good prices on drinks
Not bad, a bit overcrowded. Accoustics are very bad very loud speakers but the music is good.
Nice space, good crowd, good music. Only con: Drinks are south beach priced. (15 dollar for a premium, plus 18 percent default gratuity, which can get expensive if youre hanging for a few hours).
Second time going here. Drinks are good. Music danceable. Bathroom situation needs some work. Expect to wait in line at least 30 min to use it on the weekend
Awesome local club in Wynwood. Good crowd, and the premium drinks are great.
So last night I went to to this establishment. I actually went initially to see DJ jazzy Jeff preform his set. But before entering the premises we asked the manager, Alex, If it was okay to smoke a cigar. He told us yes it is OK. Especially since there are people smoking cigarettes and marijuana at the premises . After the set of DJ jazzy Jeff was finished, my husband decided to smoke his cigar . As I went to meet my husband, I smoked a little of the cigar . There was a woman named Rachel complaining. She decided to tell the Manager. The rude bouncer, Angel, decided to tell me I could not do that and snatch the cigar out my hand and escorted me out the premises. The reason why this gets me extremely upset is because you are allowed to smoke cigarettes and marijuana but not a Cigar that I asked prior to entering the premises whether I can smoke it or not . Aaaannddd, I was seeing people taking bumps of Coke at the VIP tables . So it seems like everyone could do anything else but you cant smoke a cigar. So you could do Coke but you cannot smoke a cigar?? And this is why Im upset and Im putting this review, because apparently you could do all kinds of illegal drugs but you cant smoke a cigar Because 1 woman decided to complaince annddd I got permission to do so . This is hypocrisy at its finest . I am never coming here again. Apparently its okay to do Coke but you cant smoke a cigar smh.
We went there for drinks and they were both amazing. I got the pretty in pink which was sweet, spicy, and lemony. It was a flavor explosion. My fiance got the Mr. Jack and he loved it
Beautiful new bar. It kind of reminds me of Fox Hole in South Beach. I passed by it a couple of weeks ago, noticed a new bar with only 3 patrons inside. Decided not to go in. But a couple nights ago, I gave Racket another look, oh my it was half full. So we decided to try it out, great cocktails, great ambiance. Bartender could have been more welcoming though.
Should be called ratchet. 5 stars.
Terrible service, I dont know how theyre still in business considering how they treat customers. NEVER go there, do me this favour.
First time here pretty dope venue, drinks are decently priced, staffs are friendly almost every night its gets packed, if you like dancing this place is for you!
Nice place and the bartenders were very friendly.
It was bumping some Great hip hop and older reggae last Thursday.. I didn’t want to leave.
It was pretty fun. Hip-hop downstairs and regae upstairs on Thursday
Tony g the best of the best bring you all time seen .its a must
Kelly is amazing! Best place to go when you are in Wynwood.
I was attending an invitation from a friend who was going to perform there. Even though I liked the furnishing, the place is excessively noisy and full of smoke... I left with a remarkable headache. Definitely not for me!
We went there after being given free drink tickets at the corner of the street with my friends. We were 4 people and we all work in the industry (bartending, serving) we ordered don julio reposado knowing that we werent going to drink it for free since its premium alcohol.we did not even use the free tickets. We paid and got cheap tequila instead and when we ask a bar supervisor to change our drinks for what we paid for we were met with a nasty attitude and were given a replacement drink that was not even the 1.5oz that a drink is suppose to be. I now understand why this place needs to pull people off the street with a bait. Dont go ! Awful service and they also include 20% gratuity Im never going back
The staff at Rackets is awesome . I lost my wallet and my phone and they recovered it.I also love the music of DJ Nano.
This place has a lot of potential but its truly flawed by service and lack of cleanliness. The expectation of good service for overpriced drinks at a pseudo cocktail bar were far from being met here. The bar staff needs extensive training in customer service. They also need to take another look into how they choose to wash their drinkware. One visit rendered fruit flies in a glass of water. A mixed drink being poured and dripping down a string of human hair into a glass from a shaker and still being presented by the unapologetic bartender who obviously saw the hair end up in the glass. There were patrons next to us exchanging cups with similar issues. I think with the right staff and cleaner practices this place has the potential for being a gem in Wynwood, instead they can ride their dirty mediocrity train to their next stop, failure. Take your money spend it elsewhere I know I will!
Expertly crafted cocktails served at multiple bars. Dance music, festive atmosphere, conversation possible at the front bar. Front also has a comfortable sitting area for casual meetings.
Went on a Tuesday night and had a great time. Ladies drank free till midnight and snacks were offered by sassy Kweens. Im not positive that is offered every Tuesday, but its worth finding out for yourself!
Great place. Love the atmosphere, amazing music, always a ton of fun. I just dont like how they wont give free tap water even if you buy drinks: they charge $4 for bottled water.
I was told I had to pay 30 for me and my friend it was 4 of us and they had only37 mins be they close thank God for the owner he was there they let me in. We spent $96 at the bar and we had the best time 45 mins of the night.
Great place, great music, good drinks, just keep in mind they Add gratuity to the check so don’t make the mistake of double tipping like I did!
Definitely stands out from many other bars in the area - very spacious, well-designed, and easy on the eyes. Love the open air concept. Prices are kind of high but it is very relaxing. Theres a fireplace and the setup makes it perfect for couples or groups. Drinks were pretty good as well.
This is a cool new spot to go to. Great hip hop sounds on Saturday with DJ miner. I also was served a great variety of drinks by Zane and Stephanie, quick service and amazing courtesy. I will definitely go over and over.
Nice hidden location in Wynwood that did not disappoint.Scotch and cognac collection was absolutely impressive. This place had more rare imported liquors than most actual liquor stores Ive been in. Loved every minute of it.Televisions provided nice entertainment for those not wanting to talk to others (me).Dont mind coming back for more fun memories.
Tried to block an easy exit for patrons when leaving so they would have to go all the way back through bar and bartender made wrong drink with absolutely no remorse. Turn music down and maybe work on customer service if you want people to stay.
This is the worst place ever Beware dont go they are racist people the bartenders are very rude they throw things in your face and take your money. This place is the worst I Repeat dont go very racist manger doesnt do a thing but look at you and dont correct the problem if I can give a star it would be zero very racist this business will be reported to the BBB
I went to Racket last night with my friends, I went to the bar with my friend to get a drink took a picture for instagram, I placed my iPhone X in my purse which was a cross body purse and we went to the dance floor. A weird couple was next to me . I felt something and when I realized my purse was open and my phone wasnt there. I was in shock, my friends and I were looking for the couple and they were nowhere to be found. Security was aware, and other women were having the same issue. DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE, apparently this a thing.....
The place was packed, music was great, drinks good too. The only down side was I had to wait in line for 20 mins to use the restroom because its only 1
Amazing place to buy and get fun with ur friends
The manager is extremly disrespectful, and rude -customer service ia non-existant. Bottles/drinks are over priced for this mediocre place. Never going back.
This place is an surefire gem in the FiDi!!I have a blast ever time Im here! Whether you are a regular or a first-timer, the staff here always takes good care of you!!I want to send a special shoutout to the superb bartender and my good friend Ali!
Cool chill place.
It was fun but very crowded. Want to get a table and bottles but the wait was too long.
Fun lounge in Wynnwood. Great artistic atmosphere. Easy going vibe.
Good Music, if you go on a weekend parking might be a hassle. But there are many options near. Went on a Saturday night omg super crowded inside,but you have room to dance, drinks were okay. Good vibes.
Extremely overpriced hipster bar with South Beach style snootieness on a Friday night. Not a low key spot for locals, more like a high key spot for silicon valley guys who want to party in long sleeve collared shirts with picnic table patterns.Shots were soooo smallllll, and soooo expensive and I live in South Beach where drinks ARE Expensive. Too many dudes trying to grab me and my friend on dancefloor. Lol they were not even dancing. And men outnumbered us 10/1.The overwhelming feeling of 10 young business men dancing on a table like its their 21st bday left me feeling a bit creeped out.Got one drink, murdered my budget and felt strange the whole Uber ride home. Not my best Friday night!
Went on Friday night, two rooms of different atmosphere. First room artfully decorated with a chill laid back ambience. Main room had an electrifying ambience with a lot of beautiful people and great music. Daniel behind the bar blew us off our feet with his liquor knowledge and the cocktails he made us based on our preferences.Definitely the new go to spot in wynwood. Tina and Diana were also great at answering all our Random questions.
Great place, and nice vibe. Drinks are a little pricey, but we had a great time.
Like many others, I had my phone stolen out of my purse here within 30 minutes of entering. No one working in this place seemed to care. It seemed as if several other phones had been stolen by the time I reported mine missing. Staff did not want to look at security video to find out who did it. The night of, I kept getting shuffled out of the way by security instead of having my complaint listened to. They show so little concern for such a serious pickpocketing problem that it feels like theyre in on it. This is on top of already being overpriced, overcrowded, and rudely staffed.
Went yesterday and was amazing, good music, nice environment.
Great Music and atmosphere. Love this place
Not sure of the scene. prefer drunken dragon,from same owners.
Im from Chicago and this establishment allowed some low life to fraudulently use my debit card which I still have in my possession and create a big inconvenience for me. They should do a better job of checking ids especially for large purchases...over $100 or did one of the employees manually key my card number in without proper is and the physical card being present....thats identity theft!!!?? I wouldnt mind if the owner/manager contacts me.
Amazing Pub/Disco to hang out with your friends.
Walked in on my way to jwb with some friends. Had a cool patio area. Really laid back atmosphere, but it was a week night. The decor was really cool. They had good cocktails, but not a great beer selection. I wish they had more local beers considering that there are so many great breweries nearby. I dont think I would come back on my own volition, but it was a cool spot.
We had a fantastic time with our company, the place is spacious, well prepared, clean and nicely decorated. The staff treated us so well i wanted to give a shout out to them as well.
Great music. Great vibes.
So sad they don’t support military personal.... military id was presented and they said “just cuz your in the military don’t mean anything..” go home girl
Loved it... Definitely the cool new slick spot. Great music and vibe.
Amazing experience! Our waitress Heather was super nice and our sandwiches were delicious! My boys had a blast too
Terrible experience... after a 400 tab in less than 3 hours we got kicked out of a table because someone had ordered more in a bottle. I will never come back and recommend no one to have to go thru the same experience. STAY AWAY!!!!
