"The Bend is a great bar for people who never fully recovered from their middle school emo phase. The retro dive bar is split into two sections. One has a huge Yoda statue and serves cocktails like the big bender, a Hialeah rendition of a long island iced tea made with guava. Yoda doesn’t make them, but they’re still really good. The other section only serves wine and beer and looks like the basement from That ‘70s Show . Decorative wood paneling, reruns of old ads like the Fushigi gravity ball, and a functioning CRT TV with a Nintendo 64 connected to it—it’s all dripping with nostalgia. To play just ask the bartender and make sure you blow on the cartridge like old times. " - Mariana Trabanino
