The cocktails are the best here. Super friendly and creative Bartenders are able to create anything you’d like and/or have a taste for. The DJ was playing all the hits too! I’ll definitely be returning here soon.

Great experience, environment and music. For some reason no outdoor space. Temp closed outdoor space but there are other areas to maintain social distance. Left early due to lack of mask wearing and too many people inside waking freely with no mask. Will go back once outdoor seating is opened.

This place is dope, live jazz music during the week. They removed my favorite cocktail from the menu (an apple a day) they should bring it back, it was the best drink on the menu by far! The mixologists are top notch specially the main guy who does the absinthe shots. Highly recommended.

Awesome hang out spot for the evening! I first came here for the NYE party. I threw the idea out to friends and we reserved for table service to ensure a good time without having to wait at the bar to get served. My cousin also got a table with her friends, so it turned out great to have some friends and family to ring in the new year.

Two full bars in a semi open air space. The Andersons tailored cocktails are excellent TOTALLY off the beaten path. FYI there is a downside to all great things is that there WILL be a 20% gratuided automatically included in your beverage order

This bar is an professional class clean establishment with a quite and respectful atmosphere. Many of the customers were wearing business casual attire. The tables and atmosphere was very modern and clean with a fireplace, leather and wood accents, and booth seating. The bar also offers a few televisions to watch current sporting events but the volume is kept at a moderate level so that the focus can be on conversation. I really enjoyed this place and would go again.

Decent dive bar to meet cool new people to hang out and chill with. The bar offers limited food menu, so they kindly allow food from outside. Owners even hang out and sit with you.

Love coming here but tonight was different. The bartender YELLED at us to meet him at the end to take our drink orders. Such a different interaction than the usual bartender that serves us. We went to the end of the bar and proceeded to ask to play super smash on the main screen, he said yes and took our order.

Not a place I would rave about. We were slightly jet lagged and needed to stay awake so went to Zekis which was few minutes walk from where we were staying. Bar was rather quiet- Sunday night! But had a pleasant vibe and a fire place at the back. We stayed for one drink and left. Good spot.

Parking is available on the street or $2 validated garage. Reservations are required so make sure to get on the guest list & arrive on time. Otherwise good luck getting in since Apt 503 fills up fast. It is an apartment after all, not a condo!

Awesome vibes and great drinks and tacos. Definetly a place to hang. Every first Thursday of the month Matriarchy ladies come with awesome house jams. Open bar 8 to 9pm and drinks a very affordable price

I loved this sexy red interior decoration. You can swing from one bar to another in search for more drinks. The bartenders mix delicious cocktails and they are willing to mix you anything you want. I had a lot of fun there. Music was played throughout the whole place. The only downfall is that it was a little bit pricey.

Review №33

Weird, odd and unusual are the first words that enter my mind after leaving this place. $5 for your choice of 5 different bottles of beers served out of a bathtub. Apparently the cask ale has been out for more than 6 months and they dont know when it can be filled again. I suggested Rogue as a supplier, but apparently they dont deliver. The people were overly friendly, but maybe I just wasnt drunk enough...

Keep your expectations low and that is what I did. I had a great time at Bitter End. Drinks are cheap and it doesnt get too loud so you can actually talk to your friends without having to scream. A good neighborhood bar, with a two floor setup. Good for games, groups, locals...has some pool tables and dart boards and sports on the TVs. Nice place to hang with friends!

Very good vibe. Music, 3 different bars in one... lots of drinks and a retro decoration on an almost secret dance floor make this place one of the best secrets of Miamis night.

It wasnt overly crowded on a Saturday night so my group of friends were able to enjoy ourselves at the tall tables. I appreciate that they have water on tap to the side of the room - lessen the hassle of having to ask for refills and good for preventing super drunk customers (maybe).The Anderson

Came here for the first time with some girlfriends to ring in 2020 and boy did we have a blast!!! The music was amazing, the tacos at the food truck are (cauliflower & fried cheese one are bomb!!!!!) Our bartender Jorge was excellent, super nice and cute lol. Definitely cant wait to return back!!

I came here for election night, which involved sitting at the bar for hours in stunned silence while nursing many a vermouth cocktail (a first, and their HH special). That said, the one positive about that night was the discovering Bar 821, their vermouth cocktails, and their impressive list of amaro and fernet choices. Ill be back soon with a fernet-loving friend to check out their amaro and/or fernet flights.

Dear the New Anderson owners,You get it. Love what youve done so far, which maybe invisible to most, but not to me and my friends. We love the New Happy Hour menu. We love the cocktails, major improvements lately. And..we love the bartenders! Oh, by the way, your new food spot El Toro, is damn delicious and and HONESTLY nice counterpoint to the drinks. Its typically one os stronger than the other, but they do balance out so well now, its amazing. We will continue to support these very welcome changes and we are excited for the new rumored karaoke nights.Regards,The Hamburglar, lover of burgers and fine drinking and eating establishments

Toby was an outstanding bar tender! I asked her if she knew how to make a certain, uncommon cocktail. She looked it up and went above and beyond by running over to the other bar to get the ingredients needed for it. She was really sweet and amazing. The tacos were all great, especially the fish taco. Omg yummm. The vibe of the venue was also really great. 5 stars!

I wish I had gotten pictures but I was too busy having fun. I cant wait to go back. It was really funky and intimate and the crowd was really laid back. The bartenders are super nice as well. Someone suggested to get a paloma and theirs was crazy good. Food was tasty. Chicken thigh tacos and guac were the best options we had. Shrimp tacos can be passed.

This may not be the most complete review, as I have only been here for their Duck, Duck, Goose (trois) event. However, if I had to give a recommendation based on this event, I would suggest you go there every weekend.The event was a celebration of all things duck, goose, and some pork. From drinks with bacon, to duck filled Nigri with roasted foie gras on top. The venue boasted an excellent outdoor area with music and much needed fans, from where you could watch the culinary delights being created and plated in exquisite fashion. Every dish was remarkable, with unexpected goose and duck trappings.We were treated to excellent mixologist skills in the outdoor bar, part the regular Anderson area. I was unable to get to the interior as I was not a VIP at the event, but I will venture back to be able to give you the full scoop.I must say this though. The staffs attention to detail and willingness to describe the different dishes and libations was most remarkable. Everything and everyone were extremely interactive and friendly, the perfect vibe I would look for in a hangout.

Review №57

I called to ask about the menu and happy hour. Apparently someone else had called multiple times to ask before me(unrelated to me). Kevin, who answered the phone, shouted at me and asked what the point was of the phone call and why I was asking the same question. Then he hung up. First, I had not called before. Second, I was calling in regards to a corporate happy hour. Third, get out of hospitality, you suck and lost business. If youre going to answer the phone like that, be 100% sure its the correct person. Sad that they just changed ownership, doubt it will succeed with an attitude like that.

Review №59

Update: i always have a great time here. Sunday afternoons they play some fun EDM and there was a live sax player when we went. There were happy hour drinks that were made well and tacos that were delicious and fit in perfectly with the fun vibe. Highly recommend the chicken tacos, the shrimp tacos, and the guac! Guac came with these fried chips that tasted like they were made in house. So thick and crunchy, delicious!Cons: parking is not so fun. Sometimes they have $5 valet but this past sunday they did not. We ended up having to ask a bartender where we could park. She was very sweet and let us know which cars we could block based on what she knew about them (regulars who tend to stay late, or staff).2018: Love this bars vibe. They have both indoor and outdoor areas. It was dead when we went but we still had a good time. The craft cocktails are made well, and the fried rice was excellent! We would come back for the fried rice alone.

Review №63

This far is pretty cool. Has a really great ambience and feel to it. Our bartender Kevin was fantastic. My only complaint was when I went to close my tab another bartender didnt give us a detailed bill and just said your bill is $54 Thats with tax and gratuity included. We only had two drinks each. It just seemed a little shady and expensive for North Miami.

Review №64

Went there and there was a great cover band! However the bartender in the back with the colored hair was less than welcoming. Ordered a vodka soda and she snapped at me because she didnt have soda. Then ordered 2 8 dollar beers and was charged 20? Again, band great, service, not so much.

Excellent food and beer. The location is not that great but it is certainly worth it. It gets packed quickly during the weekends so you may want to get there early or try a weekday. The location is very small but dont let that drive you away. I will definitely return the next time I am in the area.

I love this venue. The clientele is a little too cool for school but other than that they offer really eclectic shows that nobody else in the area is promoting / having. Their booking staff have great taste, and the venue itself is set up to be conducive to live, intimate the shows. The food is great as well.

I love this little hidden gem. You can start the night with a little sushi and a great cocktail when they first open. Finishing with dancing all night and mixed crowd. Take photos in the booth to remember all the night :D This place draws from the nearby hotels as those of us who live here. Once caution is they only have 3 bathrooms sooooo plan accordingly.

Review №75

My partner and I had the good fortune to end up at the Anderson last night and were absolutely delighted with the experience. Our AirBNB was nearby, and after a long day in Little Havana and Wynwood, we thought we would go out and find some music and dancing. We are perhaps overly interested in imaginative mixology, so I had scoped out the Anderson as a good pregame spot to Uber from. We were excited about some of the drinks listed on the website. Unfortunately, those dont exist anymore under the new management. Fortunately, the place is an absolute gem, and we had no desire to go further for our evening. The vibe is lovely, the bartenders are relaxed and friendly. Disappointed by the lounge cocktails personally, but there will definitely be an audience for them. Loved it and would highly recommend.

Its a great neighborhood bar. Lots of food and drink options. Nice space. Great DJ. The thing that keeps it from 4 stars is the price. Drinks are pretty pricey. 13.00 for a cocktail at a neighborhood hangout in a rougher section of town is steep. But nice overall.

Review №92

The place was great. We had an awesome time. Its like going to three different places without having to get back in your car.The lounge can take you back in time or place. Its dimly lit and elegant/romanticromantic. It can be a post prohibition speak easy with lots of privacy in the booths or an 80s disco with a dance floor and a stage for either blues or trubadors.Theres the other bar I call the beach bar. You just need the sand and the waves but the barkeep can mix that for you. These guys at the bars can mix anything. Their mojitos are amazing. Im a whiskey guy but those mojitos were fantastic.We went there to eat and stayed the whole night.You have the lounge, the beach bar and the restaurant, El Toro. These are by far the best tacos youll try. My favorite was the shrimp taco but we tried them all and theyre all good with tasty sauces to match..Good atmosphere good service. Love the place.

Came on a Saturday night with no expectations and ended up dancing my face off to 80s music ALL NIGHT. It was amazing. The appearance, music, and vibe of The Anderson will teleport you to the past as soon as you walk in the door. Everyone there was smiling and grooving to the nostalgia. Wish I discovered this place sooner.

So much fun! The music was awesome, my friends and I danced the night away. The dj was friendly and accommodating, he took our requests and we heard some great 80s music. Their happy hour on Saturday was well priced, $7 for drinks like margaritas made with house liquor- not the tastiest lol but not vile either. Dance inside or sit outside under twinkly lights with friends- youll have a nice time.

Cool Chill Place! I love it when I walk into a place and the vibe is welcoming, and unpretentious. You know, like you walk in and everyone is having a good time and engaged in conversation. It felt like I was in an old Key West home. It was relaxing to sit around and chat and drink. The drinks were a bit pricey but, its Miami. Will definitely be back.
