Best Bars in Miami & South Beach

Vibe: Hipster Speakeasy
Visitors to the residential west side of town are discovering the kitschy hidden hangout built behind the Mexican food truck that is the centerpiece of Bodega Taqueria. Tucked away on a side street across from Dunkin Donuts, this former warehouse has been transformed by the Menin Group into an adult’s only Frat Party with loud dance music, a popular pool table and plenty of cool kids smoking out in the alley. Stop in for a taco and grab a cold cerveza from the ice chest before making your way through the secret door that leads to all the fun. There you’ll find a full bar and a laid back dress code that’s definitely not like any other place on South Beach.

Welcome to Ricky’s. It’s Kind of Nuts.

We have a carnival arcade serving whiskey and funnel cakes in South Beach now.

We do. We have that.

It’s called Ricky’s, it’s currently open, and this slideshow contains pictures of it.

This is from the Menin crew, who gave us Bodega and Radio. And now that we’ve established that, here’s what you’ll be doing there…

Flexing those long-forgotten arcade muscles.
A claw machine. Pac-Man. Air hockey. Basketball Shootout. They say muscle memory kicks right back in for these sorts of things.

Eating funnel cakes and deep-fried Milky Ways.
Bernie Matz is taking on good old American fairground eats for this one. So you’ll also find smoked corn dogs and waffle mac and cheese on the menu, which we’ll go ahead and leave right here for you.

Making your own punch-in-a-barrel.
Yep, you’ll be doing that at your table with a group of friends. But if Pac-Man takes a toll on your mixing muscles, they’ve also got table-tap beer funnels and over 150 whiskeys ready for action.
