Shuckers Waterfront Bar & Grill

"Just because you left the beach doesn’t mean you want to stop staring at the water. Shuckers can help keep the views coming with its dockside seating, which is really the best reason to come here. It’s also one of the only casual waterfront restaurants where the prime views don’t come with incessant house music and $300 bottles of rosé whizzing by your head. The food here is what you want in a breezy raw bar—they have solid wings and seafood—but the best part of Shuckers is its wide-open view of Biscayne Bay." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Shuckers is one of the few waterfront restaurants in Miami where the prime views don’t come with incessant house music and $300 bottles of rosé whizzing by your head. Shuckers has more of a sports bar personality, and the simple food is what you want in a breezy raw bar. They have good wings and decent seafood—but the best part of Shuckers is its wide-open view of Biscayne Bay. There are also a ton of TVs, and chances are they’re playing whatever game you want to see." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Every table at Shuckers is technically an outdoor table because this place doesn’t have walls. And that is a good thing because it’d be a shame to block this good of a waterfront view. A lot of people come here to watch sports, but we go to Shuckers to just stare out into the blue horizon while occasionally breaking eye contact with the ocean to eat a good chicken wing or some perfectly fine fried calamari." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Shuckers definitely has the best view of any sports bar in town. This North Bay Village spot is one of the only casual waterfront restaurants in Miami where the prime views don’t come with incessant house music and $300 bottles of rosé whizzing by your head. The food here is what you want in a breezy raw bar—they have good wings and solid seafood—but the best part of Shuckers is its wide-open view of Biscayne Bay. There are also a ton of TVs, and if the place is packed, you can always watch from the bar." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"Shuckers, a North Bay Village spot, opened in 1989 and quickly became a local favorite for its laid-back atmosphere, inexpensive drinks, waterfront views, and casual dining. The restaurant made national headlines in 2013 when its deck collapsed, injuring dozens. A year later, it reopened with a state-of-the-art steel-enforced deck. After reopening, it continued to serve as a popular spot for game-day watch parties and low-key waterfront meals. It is closing following a $75 million sale of the location." - Olee Fowler
