Barracuda Taphouse & Grill

OK, this place has mahi and snapper sandwiches and I had the snapper one blackened and that stuff was legendary. The serving sizes at least the day I got them were pretty decent and filling although the server did admit that they fluctuate in size. I highly recommend the sandwiches. They were so good. I would 100% go back if I was staying here for another night. They are pretty pricey though they’re about 20 bucks apiece most expensive sandwich I’ve ever bought in my life, but I think it was worth it. They also have happy hour deals, but they only take like two dollars off their $11 beer so honestly it’s still a rip off even on happy hour. It’s kind of crazy.

Really nice dive bar in the neighborhood. I wasn't sure at first if the food was gonna be good so I asked. And I was not disappointed with my order. I ordered the Mahi Mahi sandwich and it was really good. The waffle fries were also good. So so good!

Had a couple of beers outside on the tables. Beer was decent which cannot be said for the chicken wings. Lemon and garlic wings which I think the chef has forgot to actually flavour. Hard and dry. Not great

A basic dive bar, the place is dark and there is no table service, we decided to sit outside and there were customers and bums alike sitting on the benches outside of the restaurant, it smelled like weed- which is less than desirable when eating. The bartender was nice and friendly but the food wasn't anything to brag about. Very "mid" restaurant. There are much better options in the Miami area.

Really cool bar that has great barstaff, food and atmosphere!! Had the wings with spicy bbq sauce and the steak sandwich which were great. It's a local hot-spot so expect a good local crowd every night.

What an amazing place. Very cool decoration, our waitress was amazing, the food was delicious. I hope I can come back soon

I spent a LOT of time here in the early to mid-aughts and it was my favorite place to go. Moved away but finally made it back there last week, and it still feels like home with the same excellent food, service, and atmosphere... but now with 100x more beer options! Cheers to ownership for improving what needed improvement, but recognizing and preserving what made it great.

This bar is a fun place. The service and atmosphere is wonderful. Huge variety of beers.

Came here while in town for a few drinks on a rainy day with friends. I am fully confident that I'd return when given the opportunity. This place has an excellent and extensive beer menu- including many interesting fruity, tasty drinks. Music is certainly on fleek. Laid back but vibrant vibe. Bar tenders are friendly and helpful.

Great beer selection running the full spectrum of styles. There's definitely going to be something for everyone here- probably on draft too because they have 52 taps! Bartenders were helpful with sampling drafts and explaining differences between a few of them. Definitely want to come back next time we're in Coconut Grove.

This was our saving grace after a bad experience at a near bar. First off, great service and staff. From the front of the house to the back. Great conversation with my bartender and then the cook. Fresh fries!!! Crispy wings that were smothered in buffalo sauce... fish dip was delicious! The star of the show was the corn nuggets. I have to admit I'm allergic to corn, but when I saw this on the menu... it was a must. No joke... super sweet corn, moist and crisp. Highly addictive. Played some classic rock on the jukebox and enjoyed a cold beer. It was delicious. The staff, the food, the ambiance. Moral of this whole story: if you're in the grove, stop here. Get a beer and try the corn nuggets. Play some tunes, make some friends. Great draft collection. Enjoy!

52 beers on tap!! This tap house has been here for decades and has been well marinated in local coconut grove lore. If you are looking for a casual friendly (judgement free) environment to watch a game or to enjoy a bit of local history....then step on in and grab a shrimp sandwich and a cold beer :)

So I was in the are and decided to walk in and grab a beer. It's a small place yet very cool, relaxed vibe. The crowd was nice. The outside area has picnic tables so you can have a beer and watch people walk by. They have a pool table inside and an area where u can play beer pong. They have a huge selection of beers. The only thing was that the bathroom was dirty. I would definitely recommend this little bar to anyone who wants to have a good time and grab some beers.

I found this place while looking for a chill place to get some seafood and beers. We walked in and sat at the bar instead of taking up a whole table for just 2. The service was okay. Our server/bartender was a short blonde lady who seemed like she was just there. No smile but no bad attitude towards us. It did seem like a lot of people that came up to the counter to get service she was slightly rude to. Not us though, not sure why. We ordered some fresh fish dishes and some beers and hung out while the Friday night crowd bustled around us. This was a hopping place for sure. We got our food and it was fresh, seasoned well and delicious. I would totally go back there again and try more dishes. I opted for the grilled mahi mahi and my husband got the blackened snapper sandwich. We both loved our meals and it was exactly what we were looking for. No frills, just good seafood. Might be back when visiting Miami again.

I paid for music to play on the touch tunes and they skipped all of the songs I paid to play. This place sucks and they'll steal your money

Unacceptable Service and Discrimination Experienced at Barracuda Taphouse from the staff person name Chris and the security guy (unfortunately, I don't know his name). I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the service my friend and I received at your establishment in Coconut Grove, Miami, on January 26, 2024 at 11 pm. Our experience was not only unpleasant but also deeply troubling due to the behavior of your staff. Upon deciding to order a beer pitcher, we were taken a back by the bartender's approach. He rudely questioned our ability to afford it, which was embarrassing and entirely inappropriate. Such behavior is unacceptable in any customer service setting. The situation worsened when we discovered a hair inside and outside the jug. Expecting a basic level of hygiene, we brought this to the attention of the staff, hoping for a simple replacement. Astonishingly, our complaint was met with outright denial and disrespect. The bartender dismissed our concern, refused to replace the pitcher, and insulted that we were lying by discarding the evidence. Further, the involvement of the bouncer, who supported the bartender's decision and asked us to leave, added to our distress. Not only was this a clear neglect of customer service, but it also felt like a case of racial discrimination, making us feel targeted and unwelcome. Such treatment is not only a violation of hospitality standards but also raises health concerns, as foreign objects in food and drink pose a risk to customers. The refusal to acknowledge and rectify a genuine complaint reflects poorly on your establishment. We expected a pleasant night at Barracuda Taphouse but instead left feeling disrespected and discriminated against. I urge you to address this issue promptly to ensure no other customers experience such unacceptable service. NEVER EVER RECOMMEND ANYONE TO THIS PLACE!! This is my first time worst experience ever. I want my refund back and an apology from the staff person name Chris and that security guy!

This place is a staple! A must check out if in miami and if you're into Brady beers! This is the definition of a dive/college bar! Place gets packed on the weekends but especially Thursday nights w karaoke! They have a great, extensive selection craft beers on tap and in bottles.

Great service and best priced beer in the area. Best chicken wings in Miami. Great outdoor seating and jukebox.

A Coconut Grove mainstay that is a whole vibe and then some. Come for a round of flip cup or beer pong, to catch a game or just to hang out with friends. Their beer selection is vast, and I absolutely love how many sour options they have (recently tried a watermelon gose that I really enjoyed). Haven't had the pleasure of trying the food (yet) , but there's both indoor and outdoor seating so it's super convenient to grab a bite. This spot is right on Fuller (a pedestrian street), so you can take a leisurely stroll before or after or hit up a couple of other bars in the area. Service here is always friendly, and parking can be found on nearby streets or the CocoWalk Garage on Grand.

I cannot review the food as I did not eat here, but they're not really vegetarian friendly. We came to have a couple beers outside. They have a solid beer selection with over 50 different taps. They have great craft beers. I usually can't find many sours when I go out, but I had a choice of more than three. It's definitely a divey/college bar, but the fact that the road is closed and you can hang out outside with no worries is great. There's nice shade and a nice breeze. I'll totally go back.

I have been in this place 2 times the first time they got my food undercooked didn't do anything about it and I ate and left this time it was overcooked I decided not to eat it and give it back and ask for a refund she threw the plate infront of me in the garbage never apologized about the mistake. Very bad service, zero professionalism and the person that makes the food hve zero experience how to cook don't usually leave bad reviews like that but this place deserves it

Perfect spot to grab some food and a pint. My family and I found this place when spending a short time in Miami. The bartender was wonderful to us. We all had a great time watching the STL cardinals play against the Marlins and enjoying delicious pub food and pints. The atmosphere is a fun and the decor is perfect. That snapper sandwich was spectacular. I wish this joint was in my neighborhood back home. Will be back next time I'm in Miami.

Had a great meal the other night! Service was great, friendly bartenders, ours Chris was really nice and made good recommendations. The food is next level - not what I was expecting for a bar vibe, I had a delicious mahi plate with rice and beans that had so much flavor. Really great weekday spot!

Main bouncer here is an absolute cunt. He kicked me out because I was in crutches and a girl told Me I could use the women's bathroom and he didn't like it. The least professional local bar in Miami without a doubt.

Place is amazing, a go to legendary beer bar in coconut grove! Great for watching your favorite local sports team!

A true Coconut Grove staple, it first opened in 1995. It's on Fuller St, it's closed to vehicle traffic so you can't miss the pink benches right on the street. The food is ok, they have a good selection of typical bar food. They have a pool table inside, plenty of draft beers, music, and a good vibe. From trivia night to karaoke, this dive is a gem.

A Coconut Grove staple... Know by locals as "Cuda's", his place has been around for years. It's one of the Groves favorite watering wholes and has amazing bar food. The newly added outside picnic tables brings in a new look and added space for Barracudas. Don't for get to order inside at the bar. They have limited seating inside, but have room for some beer pong. Barracudas chefs offer weekly specials and some of the best offerings. I highly recommend the "The Best Snapper Sandwich You've Ever Had", this sandwich is a Blackened snapper, jerk, mesquite or grilled served on our homemade garlic bread. My new favorite is the "Buffalo Chicken Sandwich" this breaded hot buffalo chicken tenderloins covered in melted mozzarella on our garlic bread, served with a side of blue cheese dressing. As for sides waffle fries, onion rings, and even there salad is on point. Don't forget a cold beer for one of there many selections, definitely ask the bartenders for a good recommendation.

Came here with some friends recently for a night out and it was a good time! They have tables outside and a few things to do inside like a pool table, beer pong tables, and even karaoke. I wanted to go to a traditional bar and this felt like that. I didn't get to try the food or anything but there's some nearby spots walking distance if you don't feel like having bar food.

How much fun was this little place. The outside tables were wonderful. The bar staff were super fast for a busy Saturday evening. What a great way to spend the Evening.

Can't believe I've never been to "THE CUDA"?!?! All these years living in Miami and it's the first time I visit....and with my 2 year old twins! Lol I ordered a good old Blue moon! I love the seating area outside. The flower puffers hanging, the pink tables and seats. It's very chill, which I like but I just wish they have some waiters/waitresses to get your order outside especially when you're going alone with 2 year old twins. It made it very uncomfortable wheeling in double stroller inside to order and pay that's why I didn't order much. It was too challenging to handle when I can't leave my twins outside unsupervised. I definitely need to come back without the kids or with another adult to assist.

Great spot to grab a good brew while in the grove. The entire staff was awesome. We posted up at the bar and tried enough beers to know they have a great selection. Drafts were lacking on the hazy IPAs but they had a ton of great ones in cans.

Visited this place and was highly disappointed. The service was horrible. The waitress spoke rudely and she was not attentive. It seemed as if she was prejudice. The food was not that great. It lacked seasoning and the chicken tasted burnt. Plus, the waitress petted a dog and didn't immediately wash her hands.

I love James and barracudas!!! This is my favorite place to eat and drink!! I and my family have been consistent customers for years. We love the grove!!!

Awesome bar to go to in the grove. The man at the front (James) is the man straight up, employees are genuinely nice, service is quick, and food is great. 10/10

Best dinner we had while in Miami. Actually came back the next night to see what the special was again!! Great bartenders and fun spot.

A newly discovered hole in the wall. This dive bar has been around for quite some time and I finally decided to try it out. The servers/bartenders were both so friendly and nice. I tried their Burger, Conch Fritters, Wings and Nachos. The Burger was so thick and juicy, their Wings (garlic and buffalo flavored) were my favorite part of the meal. The nachos were good but not as great as the other dishes.

Local dive bar with large selection of beers. Friendly and consistent service. Love the location and the pink picnic tables outside to hang out or watch a game. Flip cup/beer pong tables inside if you wanna get rowdy.

I have never been to the physical location. I have always ordered on UberEats. My FAVORITE dish is the grilled mahi mahi. It's served with rice and beans and pita bread. The fish is seasoned well. The rice and beans are DELICIOUS. Def a hit with the hubby and the kids. It's actually all I order from there! The chicken fingers and fries are definitely a go to for kids and adults. Their breading is phenomenal. Very crispy and they have a nice taste. The food is always fresh and delicious. I highly recommend it.

Yummy food, great selection of beer, fast service. I came for lunch and it was empty.

Great vibes and the place is very cool looking. The beer concept is pretty dope ad well

Loved this place. The outdoor space was super relaxing and tranquil. The inside was chill, pool tables and bar games. The food was super good. For sure I enjoyed my night.

Elevated bar food. The wings ordered extra crispy all drums (with a surcharge) are my favorite. The waffle fries are always cooked to perfection and fun. The fish dip and chicken nachos were great. The outdoor seating is a vibe on its own and we love that we can go with our pups. Ripley enjoys it! The art installation is always a really great touch!

One of the best spots in the Grove! Great food, beer, and bar games. The decor is very fun--there is certainly a lot to look at inside. Have to give a shoutout to all the amazing bartenders, but Chris, Matt, and Lauren are especially awesome! Can't recommend this spot enough!

My fave spot. Friendly and fast staff!!!Consistent every time Always get the Mahi sandwich!!!

In A Nutshell: -Barracuda is where UM (University of Miami) students & locals enjoy hanging out to enjoy some suds & great Florida food. -If you love blackened Mahi Mahi, calamari, waffle fries, garlic bread & conch fritters, then you need to stop in here immediately. -You can sit inside or on the pink tables outside. -It's self-serve, so make sure you go inside to order. Overall, this is a very good place for the typical Florida seafood meal.

Loved the drinks and experience at Barracuda! Lots of tables outside and the staff is attentive. Arturo took great care of us and made sure we had drinks and our table was cleared. Awesome time at 'Cudas!

I got denied, and threatened by the bartender that he was going to confiscate my real ID. 3 of my friends were excited to try this place just to get told all of our IDs were not valid. We offered a second form a id, my school id with my name and picture. Bouncer said only a passport would be accepted. TELL ME WHO BRINGS THEIR PASSPORT TO THE BAR. He was very rude from the start and did not want to believe us. No IDs were fake, all from Florida. Please hire bouncers who know what a real ID is. It really shouldn't be that hard.

Now that the weather is getting better, Barracuda is a great option to grab a beer with friends. Good beer, good proces, good times

Grabbed some drinks at Barracuda Taphouse & Grill on Saturday evening. Had a few draft beers as well as a Jumbo Pretzel. Quality Barracuda Taphouse & Grill is probably one of the bars I have frequented the most in my time in Miami. Never really at the top of my list, but always a good time. I stopped in on Saturday evening just to have a few beers. They had an impressive line-up and I ended up having three drafts, all sours. While you may not find the hidden gems like at other beer bars, you will find a consistently good list of quality brews. I ended up also ordering a Jumbo Pretzel during my visit. The food at the bar is solid, and my pretzel was no exception. A great compliment to beer. Quantity It had been a while since I last visited and what I did not remember was the massive tap line. They have around fifty beers on draft, which is excellent for beer drinkers. Value Even selecting a few craft beers, nothing was expensive on the menu. I think the most expensive beer I ordered was $7.50. They also have pitchers available for good prices and frequent happy hours and specials. Ambiance Barracuda Taphouse & Grill is located in the heart of Coconut Grove. Surrounded by some of the most popular dive bars in Miami, Barracuda is probably my favorite. When you enter, the space is pretty large. To the left is the bar, where you see the incredible row of taps. There was also a large screen pulled down along the wall showing a basketball game. Two other televisions were placed behind the bar. This area also had a large table and several booths. To the right of the entrance they have more of the game area. A few booths work as a barrier to a pool table, darts, and beer pong. There is also a jukebox, and someone had decided to go crazy with The Doors. The place looks like a mix between a sports bar and an ocean front dive. Crowd This place always seems to have a decent crowd. There was a good basketball game on, so a small crowd had gathered for it. There were also a few folks playing beer pong and pool, as well as a group of guys just drinking at the bar. A very relaxed vibe for Saturday evening, perfect for a few brews. Service It is a bar that brings in a lot of locals and regulars. And even though the bartenders knew nearly half the visitors, they made sure to still pay attention to the rest of the guests. All too often I see bartenders drift towards their friends and leave other customers hanging, I'm glad to say that is not the case here. Parking There is street parking directly outside, though it fills up quick. With plenty of different options around the Grove, usually a loop around the area with find something. Extra Barracuda Taphouse & Grill is one of my favorite dive bars in Miami. With a solid selection of beer and friendly bartenders, it is a great place to relax and watch a game or mess around with some pool or beer pong.

I love the Cuda. It has been a beloved dive bar in the Grove since 1995. And while I have spent oh so many blurry nights at Cuda's playing beer pong before the pandemic hit and it was ok to be close to people indoors, I have discovered a newfound love for this dive bar during the pandemic. Why? They have closed Fuller street to traffic and added picnic tables socially distant up and down for folks to enjoy. It is so brilliant and I love everything about it. I can honestly say that I am here at least once a week. They have a great selection of craft beer in both draft and cans. They've got your non-fancy domestics and white claws, too. So truly something for everyone here. Don't know what you like? Ask - they're down to help you find something you are sure to enjoy. The other surprising thing is that the food at Cuda's is excellent. I love the fries, the wings, the fish sandwich - you name it, and it's probably going to hit the spot after crushing a few ice cold beers. I really gotta give it to the team here, you have pivoted to offer a sense of socially distant community in the Grove and it is so freaking great! Now that you can be inside again they have added plastic separations between booths in case you want to hang and play pool or watch some sports inside (there are TVS outside too tho). Also - they recently renovated the bathroom and it is hands down the nicest bathroom in coconut grove. I said what I said. Well done guys, keep the beers coming!

Your typical college bar - of course, lots of fun! I only take a star away cause of the line you gotta wait in to get a beer food is what you would imagine a college bar to have.

This is the kind of unpretentious place you go to that just happens to have bottles of Hopslam months after it sold out everywhere. This alone would get five stars from me. Add to that great staff, and cool vibe and tons of outdoor seating at (pink) picnic tables. Oh! And beer. Lots and lots of beer of all kinds on tap and in bottles. It's a beer lovers paradise. No idea about the food. This is a little hidden gem in Coconut Grove we happened upon while looking for a chill place to get a drink on a Monday night. I'm glad we did. Great find!

Best beer in Miami by a mile. So many great options on styles and regions for beers. Staff is super friendly and the food is good too. Great neighborhood spot with pool and drinking games with locals and travelers

Awesome casual date night spot. All are welcome!Great local bar to hang out, and we recommend bringing games. The staff are awesome and you can tell they love their job.

Food is great atmosphere as well beers and their selection are simply unbeatable. Sadly their security guard is terribly rude for no reason just stepped in the door and I was meet with unreasonable rudeness telling me in the worst of tones will not be coming back.

Sweet chill vibe--this coming from a guy that's not real chill. Staff members are really nice. It's a great locals hangout. The food is delicious. Today's special is Shepard's Pie. It's packed with flavor, DELICIOUS!

You could never go wrong with the blackened Caesar salad and wings. They have a good selection of food and beers. Nice outdoor sitting. Good service and friendly staff.
