Had a great time at Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern! The place has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with lots of character, great music, and a crowd that makes it feel like a true local favorite.❤️ The drinks were excellent and the live music added so much energy to the night. Service was friendly and the whole place had a welcoming vibe. Whether you’re stopping by for a few drinks or spending the evening with friends, it’s a fantastic spot. Definitely coming back! 🍻🎶🌴
Really awesome spot. Bar tenders are very attentive and on the ball. Reasonably priced and all around a good time. The live music was also very good. If you haven’t tried this place out I would seriously recommend stopping by it’s one of the better spots in the city.
Great place to listen live music and DJ. Staff is very polite. I will always come back.
Great live music venue. The band Oceans drive was amazing. The bartender service and drink selection was on point. No food though. A must experience.
One of my favorite local dive bars! Lol 😆 such a charming lil hole in the wall! As a wedding and event DJ in Miami and South Florida I really appreciate good live entertainment, and there's great live entertainment on the weekends! I regularly come here when I don't have a gig that night. You can get up close to the stage with the talented bands that have the latest time set in the area (end at 1AM). Here are some clips of one of my favorite, unique local bands @Tremora, but all the bands I've seen here are really enjoyable, AND there's no cover or minimum (same for the other pub crawl venues nearby). It's small, so it gets pretty crowded on the weekends. As such, it can be hard to get a drink at the bar, and it can be a tight squeeze so be patient. It's worth it! That's part of the charm here. It feels like you're in a friend's living room. The crowd is cool, and I've never seen any altercations despite how crowded it can get. It is loud, so you may wanna wear ear plugs if you're near the stage. There's also an outside terrace with more breathing room and space. An added plus is there are several local bars and restaurants within a short walking 🚶♂️ distance of
