Jada Coles

I’ve had this bar saved in one of my collections for a while after visiting the Gibson Room just a few blocks away. I consider this a hidden gem, much the Gibson room and a few other bars in the area. Came after dinner for the live music and walked into a jazz jam session with Russ Spiegel shredding his guitar and the rest of the trio doing their thing. I didn’t expect to enjoy some mean jazz tunes and a few Beatles classics but not bad for my first time. Sat down with a perfectly crafted Manhattan and had me a good ol’ time. The joint is nice and there’s a pool table outside with plenty of seating area, a few tables inside as well. I believe they do karaoke as well. After a few Manhattan ‘s in my system, I got the late night cravings and placed an order of wings and fries. The fries were good and the wings were also well seasoned with a side of BBQ sauce but nothing to really rave about, just decent drunk bar food that hits just right when you’re trying to sober up a little, ya know. Crowd wasn’t rowdy and the whole vibe was just chill so I like that. I’m glad more little hidden bars like these are popping up in town.

Small cozy bar tucked into a small strip along Coral Way. Hosting different events nightly ranging from Poker to Karaoke this bar attracts a lively crowd nightly. The staff and bartenders are knowledgeable, experienced and friendly; able to whip up all your cocktail favorites. In addition to having a great indoor space the outdoor patio offers great seating options as well as a large screen projector TV and pool table. Wonderful spot. Definitely will be back.

I've been avoiding writing a review of my neighborhood watering hole, but I can't resist singing their praises. I typically only come as part of the Thursday-Saturday crowd (though my roommate is here far more often than that - there's a reason we all find ourselves here eventually), but recently went on Sunday for poker night during a three day weekend. The bartenders are literally all great, unpretentious people. Drinks range from $4 for an imperial to $9 for a Jamie ginger. No matter how many times we bring new friends here or drunkenly leave our phones behind until the next day, they always have our backs with a friendly smile. And quarters for the pool table. And a little puppy for certain nights. The redid their space inside, so seating is really only outside on the patio, or at the bar. But Jada's doesn't get so packed where you can't find a place to rest your laurels. Regulars are nice folks who don't laugh at you when you suck at pool (you have to play the previous winners, your treat), and some might even teach you to shuffle if you're that far gone that dancing to their alt-rock playlist is part of your night. I don't want to spoil too many of their secrets, but know that there are karaoke nights, burlesque nights, live music, the works. You just gotta get your way to Coral Way to find out for yourself. Pro tip: don't park across in any of the business lots - they will boot your car.

A local gem to really chill and have a drink 🥃 Karaoke night was so fun there 😂 Absolutely everyone there was super fun and chill.

I definitely love this place. The place is nothing than a small dark space full of great people. You do not find the “trendy Miami” ones, this is more like a regular place where you can hang with your friends every day and you have a great time. I definitely recommend it to everyone who just want to go to chill and have a good time. All the staff are friendly and awesome!

Staff is nice, but owner is a very indecently ugly inside and out. The owner was mocking customers, making fun of them. I think federal trade commission & consumer protection services must be advised. Filthy place full of low life individuals like the owner

Always An amazing time in this place. I would write a longer review but had good beer, good convos and people are just overall awesome here. 5 star recommend.

This place is amazing! Karaoke is the BEST vibe all around. The crowd is amazing -- all genuinely chill, S-tier humans. If life allowed it, I would go every single Wednesday and Saturday for karaoke. The bartenders are amazing and the guy helping bus tables is always keeping the place clean, organized, offers to refill waters to keep everyone hydrated. Never got his name, but that guy is one of my favorite humans. Shout-out to the DJ, too -- she's super cool. I would recommend 1,000% to anyone looking to enjoy a good night out.

Visited this weekend for for the first time on karaoke night and it was a blast! Everyone was having a good fun time! Some of the people singing were so funny and doing more of a performance. The location is very small and it always gets full fast so my friend who goes often usually arrives early to secure the couch near the DJ. I only had some drinks my friends ordered and they were good and affordable! The place could use some renovations as some things look like they are falling apart a bit. But for a dive bar it was super fun vibes and a genuine good time! And the karaoke was very fun and catered to different styles of music.

Not even sure this place exists. Drove around for 20 minutes looking for it. Phone number listed on facebook did not work.

Great little bar. It's divey don't expect frills or nice decor . They have food served late and drink specials nightly . Locals frequent this place and everyone is friendly . Would come back next time I'm in town.

Came here for the first time a few nights ago and it was great! Everyone kept to themselves and were all just having a good time. A few folks were doing karaoke and it was hilarious! The location is small and the bar tends to get crowded easily so if you want a seat or a high table, be there early. Didn't have anything to eat but drinks were good. Definitely has a chill, divey bar vibe. Did find it odd that there was only one women's bathroom and the men's section appeared to have more. Would come back!

Good drinks good vibe pretty cool place good music we wish there were darts but it's cool

Freaking loved this place!!! Such a great atmosphere and awesome music (not to mention people)!! We went during karaoke night and had an amazing time, will definitely be back!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Came to this place on a date with a side and tbh it was pretty gnarly experience It's in the gables so it's secluded and also low key so the perfect spot to come and be unique They have live music on the day that I went and it was dope It's a small spot but a cool one

Been here few times. Very cool spot as there's inside bands, karaoke, stand up comedy... while outside you can have a total different vibe: pool table, large tv screen and cute seating. Parking might be difficult. There's street parking if not you have to park somewhere in the neighborhood blocks and walk a bit.

Love this place! This place doesn't look like much from the outside, it's definitely off the beaten path and a hole in the wall- but it's always a fun night when Jada's is involved. The prices here are relatively inexpensive, the service is great (shout out to Betsy! She's great! And all of the bar staff are friendly and attentive) and while it's small, it's definitely got a great atmosphere. Karaoke nights are super fun here! Only downside is the parking- street parking is limited and sometimes you have to park a couple of blocks down from the bar.

All time favorite Karaoke bar in Miami. Local divey feel with inviting staff who make a great $7 margarita! They recently renovated and added a late night kitchen. Indoor karaoke with a nice outdoor patio and pool table

I have never played Poker and it was Poker night so why not come and learn some.... By the time I got there it was done. Of course. But Erick (hope I spelled your name right), explained to me the basics, and the strategies on how to win. I have a lot of practicing to do. I came here to learn and I left knowing way more than what I knew walking in. Since Poker was over, I sat at the bar just to exist. I mean, why not? I dont remember the bartender's name but thanks for the formula one conversation. I didnt only get to learn about Poker but also about Formula One. Hahaha. It was a rainy night so you know things are empty in Miami. It looked more like an hurricane night with the type of rain, yet, there were some ppl in there. It was a great night with the right folks and energy. I will be back.

The Ambiance was really cool with a nice live band. The drink were not crazy priced either one pool table I'll try it again.

Love this place! I always have a great time with my friend, the drinks a pretty affordable and great. What I like the most is that there're lots of local people and you see everyone having a great time! The bartenders are great too. The only thing is that it needs some updates but this place is still great.

Perfect low-key place for a night out! They have affordable drinks, live music, and great funky decor that makes this place unique. I went on a Friday around 10 p.m. and it wasn't too crowded yet. All the staff was friendly and we had an amazing time.

Cool place to go to hangout with friend and have a good time. Music is good .. i had a great time with friends

Great happy hour spot in the gables. Awesome karaoke nights and good prices. Come support this small business and enjoy the good music they have! Every night there are different activities from poker to live music and even a billiards table! @FrancescaMusica

Little Dark Bar Cool little whole in the wall with an awesome staff and patrons. This is the kind of bar you find yourself looking up and a few hours could by without noticing. I feel like jerk, because I don't remember her name but I do remember her story of coming from Ohio to Miami, the bartender really made our day. Super friendly and then we started talking to other patrons and low and behold people are buying rounds of shots. It just seems to work out like that in these small places with cool people. We missed the famous karaoke that they usually have here but that was fine. This place really did the trick and was one of our favorite stops in Miami. When we're back in town, we'll definitely visit again. Thanks

This place feels like a dive bar with its dark main room, makeshift stage, bar games, and narrow hallway to the bathroom but the prices aren't dive prices, sadly. I also always see empty bottle or glasses left around the area in the morning which is a bit gross. The place is pretty empty earlier in the night but fills up after 10 on the weekends when there is a show or karaoke. Karaoke nights are fun and I always meet interesting characters but the karaoke machine doesn't have any backup voices so not ideal for the tone deaf or shy singer. They don't serve food but they'll put out some bar pretzels or snack mix if you ask. I guess you could bring your own food too if you like.

This bar is everything I want in one: good music, karaoke, pool table, great drinks and great service. It's divey, just the way I like it and not in a tourist area. Definitely will be coming here more often.

Love Jada Coles!!! Haven't been here in a while....probably since the shut-down of the world! So I don't know if things have changed drastically since I've last been there. Normally, it's a cute medium-sized bar with some upfront, outdoor seating. Where you can come to hang out with some friends and dance and drink your night away or meet someone there for drinks and cozy up in the mostly dark, cozy atmosphere! God, I love a place where you have to squeeze through a bunch of happy people to get to the bar. I miss that feeling so much! Perfect place to meet someone and have a make-out session!! could be someone new or your long time honey! everyone seems to be in a jolly mood at Jada's! I've also seen live bands there, not sure if they have that now, but when they did, it was jam session after jam session and all you would see were bodies moving to their own beat of self expression! Can we ever go back to that again??? Lord knows!

Jada Coles is like that small dive bar in your community that tourists never know about but locals always go to on weekends for drinks and great entertainment. This spot has a wonder entrance outdoor atmosphere with chair and tables surrounding a large TV displaying local sports in front of a large billards table. Upon entering you see the bar to your left and some high top tables on the right. Bar staff is very friendly and on weekends they have Karaoke Saturday nights. Gread addition to your dive bar spots to visit!

So you know when you watch a movie, and they portray karaoke as this super fun thing and then entire bar is signing and the main character is dancing and singing her heart out with her girls... This is the place where those things happen. Seriously...I finished my birthday at Jada Coles this year. Showed up at 2 AM. The place was packed. And I sung like I was Whitney Houston herself (attempted, let's get real no one is Whitney). I had so much fun. The bar is small but it's part of its charm. I'm dying to go back here again and I recommend highly if you're looking to have fun at a quaint place with lots of people.

Great neighborhood bar. I love the vibe of the place. The bartenders are friendly and so are the patrons. The place is clean and fun. The drinks are good and the music is great. Some nights they have karaoke, some nights there is a live band and other nights there is a DJ. There is something for everyone. Full bar, an okay list of craft beer and other beer options and wine. Again, there is something for everyone. And there are often specialty drink specials. Jada Coles is a great place to go with friends and enjoy a laid back experience. I hope to see you there.

Turn around and don't bother to come in. Want to play on the pool table? Write your name on the list. Purchase a beer, come back to the table. Name is erased. Over served drunks are playing pool.... Not worth my money to be bit by mosquitos and pushed around by drugged up drunks. (YES, jaws clattering, very obvious). My daughter set up my yelp account. I am an avid pool player. It seems like men cannot hold their liquor in this place or the management allows over serving customers. My husband and I were floored seeing this all happen with so much staff standing around. Why are they there if they just stand around? Not spending time or money here.

I came here really wanting to love this place, especially after reading all the 4 and 5 star reviews and knowing how much I enjoy a good dive bar. Though I thought it was shade better than A-OK as 3 stars on Yelp denotes, it wasn't such a great experience that I'll be rushing back here anytime soon. I stopped in on a Friday night at around 10:30, I entered the front patio area which is basically a large, covered, open space with a pool table and some seating. As Kevin C. stated in his review, if I hadn't known there was a proper bar inside this building from the photos I'd seen on Yelp, I may have simply left at that point. I walked to the back of the patio and into the bar proper and initially liked what I saw; A smallish, divey feeling bar with some damaged and dirty floor tiles, a long, fully stocked L-shaped bar to the left with some cigarette burns and damaged areas on the top of it, a group of people huddled around a few tables in a corner to the right, and in the back, live music provided by a cellist, bass player and some pre-recorded audio sequences. There are also a few TVs behind the bar for watching sports. Maybe I came here on an off night, but neither the bartenders or the patrons were particularly friendly (though the little black dog running around the place that belongs to one of the bartenders was cool), and a few of the patrons simply seemed like dirty asses vs. the beloved "characters" that one normally finds in most any good dive bar. Domestic drafts (Yuenling, not craft beers) were $6, more expensive than Hooters and Ale House down the street. The other thing that struck me about this place is that it's relatively small. When I came here, there were 1/2 dozen people on the patio smoking or playing pool, about the same amount at the bar (that's about all the bar stool seating they have), and another 8 or 10 people in the corner seated at the tables having a private party. That was it, that was pretty much the capacity of the place; it almost feels a bit too small to be lively and fun most nights. It should be noted that Jada Coles doesn't serve food, but while I was here, a few customers did order pizza and other food via delivery and the bar staff furnished them with plates and napkins.

As Wynwood is transitioning itself into Design District Part Deux, finding good, unpretentious hang outs to grab a drink that won't break your budget are becoming harder to find anywhere near Miami proper. Jada Coles is a divey-ish spot fairly centrally near Coral Way and 27th ave. that I usually go to hang with friends when we don't feel like paying $12-$15 for a gin and tonic in Wynwood or Brickell. The bartenders and regulars are a friendly bunch, and they host plenty of events like karaoke night and (for the old goth crowd) The Kitchen reunions. With places like Tobacco Road increasingly going by the wayside, it's good to have places like Jada Coles still around.

Absolutely the best bar I've ever been to the staff is beyond friendly the people I met were friendly I love that they have poker nights , karaoke nights as well as trivia and the live bands they book are great I have become friends with the bartenders who treat me like family I live all the way in Hialeah and it's such a great bar that I go there 2-3 times a week then I met the only bar owner in Miami who is not a stuck up a****** and only cares about money but a man who genuinely makes sure everyone enjoys their experience and even bought me a welcome shot on my first day literally heaven on earth but with lots of booze

Best kept secret in the ENTIRE GABLES!! well not much of a secret anymore! Looking for a new watering hole?! Stop looking and stroll on in. LIVE MUSIC 3 NIGHTS A WEEK! KARAOKE 2 NIGHTS EACH WEEK! Let me not get started on ALL the drink specials which make the night feel just right! A place where everyone feels like family and if you don't, well then stop being an asshole.

This is a great place to go for karaoke on Saturdays. The atmosphere is very friendly and the bars tenders too. There's many people that go there often (the regulars) they'll make you feel really welcomed. The prices for drinks are average, cocktails are in small glasses. It gets loud make sure you're making eye contact with the bartenders when you're calling them.

Jada Coles I like you! You're welcoming, cozy, and perfect for a chill night with drinks and friends whether small or large groups it just always seems to work out perfect! I remember the first time I stumbled across Jada Coles was back in 2013 and I was thrilled to find out that it's still around and very much the same set up still! Drinks are fair for Miami prices, just make sure if you're ordering a beer they have it available! I came by recently and was informed the menu was a bit outdated but that's okay they still have a large selection of brews and cocktails to order from. The bartenders, the service, and the people who come out here are awesome and good company. If I lived closer this would be my spot for a nightcap!

Jada Coles is a locals place. I literally love this bar! Every time I go it's always the best experience. I highly recommend!

I love the smell of Fabuloso at night.... Karaoke night is a blast. They have a huge selection of songs and by that I mean any song you want it seemed. The crowd gets into it depending on the song. The drinks were decent priced. Get there early enough and your group can be king of the couch for the night. Aside from the strong fabuloso smell when you walk in, this place is great.

It is a fun place. It depends on what you are looking for but for us it was perfect. It has a nice terrace with a pool table, the nice bar inside with some small tables. Get a bit early if you are with a group and want to find a big enough table. If you are on a date and just want to have a drink, anytime is fine. Did not try the food but the music was ok, a bit louder than what I would want it but it was good music. The bartenders are super nice. Most of the people are around 26-36 and its pretty informal. Nice place.

Very cool place in doral. Live music, pool table, cozy. Drinks are great and people are friendly.

Nice laid-back bar where you can actually have a conversation on a Friday night. Good live music Fridays too

It's around the 2016 NBA Finals time and I had friends visiting from Orlando. After meeting up for dinner and watching the game till half time, we were looking for a place to resume the festivities. With the help of Google, Cortana and Siri, We came across Jada Coles. Intimate and quaint with a chill atmosphere, we weren't let down. Decent drink specials and the music was on point. DJ Perkasette was spinning; a hefty blend of old school and new. Playing in a doubles tourney on the billiards table, my buddy and I went undefeated for 4 games straight...coincidentally, our loss was around the time that we started feeling those drink specials. Needless to say, the next time that we're looking for a spot, we won't have to ask our phones.

If you're looking for a spot to sing karaoke, don't waste your time or money here. My husband and I were visiting Miami and found this spot on Saturday night. The place was filled with drunk, screaming, immature 20 somethings. Since we had driven 20 minutes from our hotel to get there we decided to stay and get a song in. We both put our song selections in with the karaoke DJ at the same time. It took over 2 hours for me to be called up to sing. Naturally I thought my husband would be next, but instead the DJ called someone else up, then called out the names of the next 5 or 6 singers. He did not call my husband's name. It was already 2:30 am. I went up to the DJ and let him know that my husband put his selection in at the same time I did and wondered why he was not called. He told me that my husband will have to wait because there were a lot of people ahead. I told him we were visiting from Tampa and were leaving soon so we hoped he could call my husband next since he had already called me. He did not respond to me, nor did he call my husband next. We left as soon as the next person called was not my husband. In addition, the bar staff acted as if they hated their jobs. Not very friendly at all.

Love this place! Hole in the wall with a ton of charm. Outdoor and indoor areas, pool table, and great live music. Bartenders have always been extremely friendly and helpful. It's getting more popular by the day! Plus, and this is so unique and awesome... Dog friendly! This is my new favorite spot in all of Miami.

Came out here to celebrate . The place is divey and chill. They have different events going depending the day of the week. Today they have a live band playing inside. Unfortunately I'm outside so I couldn't hear it . Drinks were moderate price . Only problem was one pool table. But I will definitely come back.

Definitely a chill place to come on a Saturday night. They don't have food, but you're welcome to order food in. They had a few interesting beers on tap, and karaoke going on late into the night. Prices were reasonable. About 7-8$ for well liquor or a basic beer on tap. I'd definitely come again.

Jada Coles is the neighborhood bar you wish followed you around when you move. I generally take people here for karaoke nights on the weekend and it never disappoints. The vocal talent ranges from awesome to people having a fun night out (usually me!) and despite the bar getting crowded on weekends the bartenders are attentive enough to get to you without much standing around.

Such a cool hidden spot! Great place to go avoid "miami scene" & just have a drink & a good time. Good vibe both at daytime & nighttime. Even tho it now gets busy on the weekends at night always a good crowd.

I love this little spot! Wish it was closer to home. Everyone is very laid back. The owner is cool and very approachable and the bartenders are the sweetest girls ever. Definitely worth checking out. Oh and definitely not a south beach vibe.

Overpriced beers and average atmosphere. Many more places around coral way/ coconut grove such at sandbar grill, barracudas, Frits and Fran's, Miller ale house, I'd recommend than this place.

This place is like home for me. It's one of those bars where everyone knows each other and the vibe is always great. Karaoke at this place is 100% the best! Picture the entire bar singing together. Drinks are good and priced well. Highly recommend!

Always good to try a new bar, I went with my best friend. It's a pretty chill bar and my best friend fell in love with the friendly dog

I am always caught up in my busy life, love coming here and just relaxing. I really like the people that work here, very welcoming and warm. I definitely recommend this place. :)

My wife and I live close by and felt like going for a drink and we happen to run into this lounge bar. Very cool place and great drink specials.
