Mae’s Room

This is my 2nd time here and it’s for a reason. This bar is so great, the ambiance, always spotless, good music, not overwhelming, staff is super welcoming. Drinks are affordable and delicious. It does get busy at times, but the wait isn’t forever. If you haven’t gotten a chance to check it out please go ASAP

I love the Grove and always get excited when new businesses open in the neighborhood. I was especially intrigued by the speakeasy concept and had high hopes for this place. My husband and I waited outside for about 10 minutes while we saw people exiting, assuming we were next. Shortly after, a large, well-dressed group arrived and was immediately let in, which felt inconsistent and confusing. When I spoke with the manager, I was told we could order drinks outside while waiting—something that could have been communicated upfront. A simple greeting or explanation would have gone a long way. Transparency matters, and leaving guests waiting without context doesn’t create a welcoming experience. I did mention we were on a date for my birthday and his dry response was just that, dry.. As a Grove resident, I hope this ambiance improves. Clear communication and hospitality should match the charm and quality the neighborhood is known for. No need to make some people feel more welcomed than others (even if they get a table and buy a bottle). Please do better. Maybe I’ll try this place another time without expecting too much after all I get the fact that it’s a new business and they have time to learn to make it successful, but I left having a bad taste in my mouth about the vibes there.

This place is an absolute gem! The cozy, intimate atmosphere makes it the perfect place to unwind and every drink feels thoughtfully crafted. Even more amazing that you can order Chuggies straight from the bar and enjoy it there with your martini! A must-visit for anyone who loves great cocktails and great energy.

Mae's is by far my favorite spot to go out in the grove! It's a hidden gem with the coolest atmosphere and best drinks. I also love that I can order from Chuggies if I'm hungry- it's the best of both worlds. Obsessed with this place, I go every weekend!

A cozy and intimate, elevated but relaxed coctail bar. The mixologists (bartenders) are excellent and with the Chuggies food parternishp I didn't want to leave. Ask for Omar.

Amazing cocktails and beautiful, cozy spot. There’s not a space in the grove like it. It’s very small so those who complain about not being able to get inside should realize this and either have a cocktail outside or come earlier. We decided to go during happy hour on a weekday and had no issues with a space for 6 of us.

Excellent service and amazing cocktails! They allow you to buy food from Chuggies and eat it there. The 'frita' is delicious!

Emma & Omar were great! Very hospitable & the cocktails were insane.

I am here to say, Mae's Room is the cocktail bar that Coconut Grove needed. For years, we have loved to go out in the Grove for a day filled with frivolity and nights filled with delicious dinners or casual hangs. But if you wanted to grab a drink at a proper cocktail bar, you'd either have to post up at a nice restaurant bar, or hit the dives. While there is a time and a place for both, I am so happy that Mae's is in the mix. I went to Mae's Room on opening day which was November 18th. It's part of the Ariete Hospitality group that is now all over this corner of Main Highway and Fuller street so you know it's going to be good. If you have been around the Grove a lot, or frequent Scapegoat you will recognize Tom - the lovely English guy behind the bar who served me I kid you not the FROSTIEST martini I have had in 2025 (and trust me I have had a few this year). If you go out a lot in the area you will recognize some familiar and friendly faces behind the bar, too. It's a pretty small cocktail bar - about 15 ish bar seats and a few cocktail tables. They just opened, so they are figuring out how to have the demand for the space coexist with the vibes they are creating, but I trust that will work itself out. If you plan on going, you may have to wait if they are at capacity but the tini is worth it. It's the kind of spot that you can go to grab a drink solo, cozy up on a date, or yap with your girls over happy hour. While they don't have food, it is 2025 and people are brilliant so you can use the QR code on the menu and order Chuggie's from down the plaza and eat it at the bar. A martini and a fast food style burger and fries? Hello. Sign me up. I also enjoyed an espresso martini which was great. Cocktails are reasonably priced and they also have happy hour with $9 drinks. I shall be back, and if I have to wait good thing there are plenty of other spots you can walk to nearby to pass the time until I meet that frosty tini once again.

Good vibe within. Great selection of liquors to choose from. Their cocktails are well crafted and their bartending staff were fantastic.

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend of mine and will be returning a lot. Awesome new speak easy in the grove, I've been waiting for a concept like this to open. Ambience, drinks and service are great. My only suggestion is change the music, it needs some light beats!

This place makes some seriously amazing cocktails. Everything tastes fresh, balanced, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The whole vibe is dark, candle-lit, and super cozy. Perfect for a date night, but also great if you just want a fun night out with friends. Definitely worth checking out!

The same guy at the door told us it would a 3 to a 3.5 hour wait to come inside when there was NOBODY in line. I asked him how to put my name down and he showed a notepad with about 3 names on it. Don't waste your time. Rude and bad service

The servers are rude, the guy outside said it would be a 2.5hr wait yet there was nobody outside... the man showed me a paper with a couple of names and said it would be hours???? I dont understand the hype. Drinks I heard were mid and with this attitude i don't think they will make it far.

This was an awful experience. Terrible service, this isn't Hollywood, this is Coconut Grove where locals just want to be able to hang out. I will never go back. We arrived at 9pm and were told by the British door guy at the front that it would be a 2-3 hour wait, we came back after a wait and without explanation the guy shut the door in our faces, locked it and left many people outside confused. What's the point in being so rude? Nobody left happy, I really hope this place gets replaced asap.
