Such a fun event thanks to our lovely CM Farah and Yelp Miami volunteers! Ball n Chain is a well-known club on Calle Ocho and I've been here many times. It's always fun and the live music is always on point. For this event, we got to try some lite bites and sip cocktails. I was really happy that they were serving their famous Calle Ocho Old Fashioned. That's my favorite drink here. As for the bites, I tried the Ceviche Spoon, Ahi Tuna Amarillo, Gouda Croquettes and Short Rib Empanadas. Everything was fresh-made and very tasty. I was definitely obsessed with the croquettes and empanadas. I couldn't stop munching on them but can't be greedy...lol : The night ended with a salsa class and boy, p...
Stepping into this Cuban bar and restaurant felt like a direct passage to the lively streets of Havana. The vibrant ambiance, infused with the infectious beats of authentic Cuban music, immediately set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The place exuded a genuine Cuban vibe, from the décor to the atmosphere, making it an oasis that truly captures the spirit of Cuba. The menu boasted an array of mouthwatering Cuban delicacies and cocktails that were simply exceptional. The flavors were an explosion of authenticity, delivering the essence of Cuban cuisine right to the taste buds. Each dish was a delightful journey through the rich culinary heritage of Cuba, leaving a lasting impression....
Stopped by Ball Chain while exploring Little Havana area in Miami. The live music will grab your attention and make you want to go in, dance and have a good time. Thats exactly what happened to my husband and I we do not regret it one bit. The ambience is pretty nice and the music was amazing which will force you to hit the dance floor. For drinks, we ordered the tobacco infused old fashioned (my fav drink) and the guava sangria (second fav drink). The cuban old fashioned was something I never tasted and it was fantastic. The tobacco flavors were mild not overpowering the alcohol at all instead just elevating the drink to another level. The guava sangria was refreshing and tasted divine too....
Ball and necklace is a fun bar, but not a fun restaurant. It was too loud and the section to eat was very small and crampy. Where we sat, they had a stage light that was constantly shining in our faces when it circulated. The live music was good, but more pleasant if you are only there for drinks. The food was subpar. The Camarones Enchilados tasted as if they placed the sauce on the shrimps vs cooking the shrimps in the sauce. The Maduros tasted like the frozen Goya version you buy at Publix. Rice and beans were all right, but that's hard to mess. The tacos were okay, but nothing was crazy. The Daiquiri was good. I'd try more of their drinks.

Woah.. my life has been changed by Ball and Chain. No seriously, it 's true! I never knew how bad I needed to learn Salsa until I came here last night. It 's incredible to see two strangers creating chemistry on the dance floor and making it look as if they 've been dancing together for years!Pros: Amazing ambience, friendly patrons, no judgements at all, great music, vibes and dancingCons: drinks, rude and blah bartenders (not all of them)
Really enjoyed the vibe there. Tried the Miami Mule, was so-so. Call me a cooler was full of Mongo flavor and good for those who like fruit cocktail. Also coco Capa, coconut cream flavor, more like a fruit beverage. The old fashion was good. My favorite there. The food was not satisfactory unfortunately. Not a fan of over friend food so didn’t like the food much. Will come and visits again next time to Miami.
Hats off to Robert our great waiter. Delicious mojitos but we didn?t know they were $14 when we ordered them. ???? Food was delicious. Music was great! Wish it lasted past 9pm. Such an iconic location and a must for visitors to Miami. This kind couplewho are locals bought us a drink just to be nice. ???? So glad we came!!! ????
Every time I visit Miami, I make sure I visit Ball Chain. There's always something going on there and on a hot day, their cold, crisp, refreshing Mojitos always hit the spot. It's a perfect place to take a break and hang out. Plenty of opportunities to people watch, listen to music, and get together with friends!
