Willy's Neighborhood Bar

At first this was a great bar. The first Happy Hour beer was charged correctly for $6. The second beer I ordered was charged $7 and it wad still during Happy Hour. The last beer I bought outside was over $11. Sorry, but as an out of town visitor, way over priced. I don't care if it is Miami or not. I have been to other major cities and paid way less. The vibe at first was great but as the crowd started to fill in, this "Neighborhood Bar" turned into the typical cliche that you hear about Miami. Too bad, I had high hopes.

A friend told me about this new bar in Wynwood and I wanted to like it since it is very close to home. I decided to go for happy hour. First mistake. Happy hour is advertised on the website as 6pm-10pm on Thursday night. Beer is listed as $5. I ordered a beer and paid cash before opening a tab to make sure everything was legit. Bartender charged $6 and I verified the happy hour lasted until 10pm and he said no it ends at 9pm now but they haven't gotten around to changing the website yet. I tipped him $3 anyway since I am a good tipper so my $5 beer really ended up costing me $9 which is a regular price for Wynwood so no biggie. The biggest problem was the music. When I walked in Junto al Almanecer by J Alvarez was playing (thanks to Shazam lol I had no idea what he was saying it was in Spanish and even with a basic understanding of Spanish I couldn't understand any of it) and an old Britney Spears video was playing on the screen. I didn't understand the vibe. On a Thursday night it was pretty empty to be expected and the 4 other people that were there when I arrived all left at 9pm when the happy hour ended. At 9pm they opened the back patio and a live hip hop DJ started playing. I finished my beer and left. Not sure I will go back.

This is such a great spot!!! Unpretentious, clean, and well run!!! Our bartender, Patrick I think, was amazing. Food was delicious, drinks were great, and the energy was fun!!! Loved it here. Will definitely go back!!!

Overall the crowd and club were decent but some tall women claiming to be Brazilian charged me tax on a cover charge. She also asked for gratuities in addition to the tax on cover charge. The bar charges an automatic gratuity on your bill without informing you so please pay attention to your bill. This place isn't worth the money and the extra fees that the establishment charges their customers. The employees that run the door and bar are unethical and take advantage of their customers.

Great little gay club with good vibes on weekend nights. My two biggest complaints are: 1. drink prices vary WIDELY depending on the bartender at any given time. I never know what to expect when I get my receipt, sometimes I’m pleasantly surprised and other times I’m like “WTF?” 2. Water. If you’re having an outdoor drag show in 85 degree Miami heat, you GOTTA give people cups of water when they ask. I’ve literally had to beg bartenders to pleaaase break “policy” to just fill me a little cup of water. Don’t tell me you can’t do it when you’re literally standing in front of a sink. They’d rather sell me an $8 bottle of water to steal an additional 18% gratuity.

So we drove down to see the Madonna tribute the other night and we thought it was going to be easy to park which it was not the place is super small there's no air conditioning outside and they don't even put fans for anybody so it was a total sweat box the crowd was not that good they should have held this at the Manor in Wilton Manors and it would have been so packed and so amazing with the large stage everything is in Wilton Manors now it's not even worth driving down to Wynwood anymore the whole gay scene in Miami is gone and this totally cemented it.. time to move with the times people it's over in Miami accept it it's all happening in Wilton Manors now

Cool place with 2 dance floors. That night 2nd floor had a band with $35 entry fee. Slow bartenders. Drinks overpriced.

Remmy is such amazing jem! After giving me the best insightful view of all beer with the best crowd, even as a bit was spilled he offered the best service with prior lost beer topping w my lime and very so impressed

Came to celebrate for my birthday and did I have a time for my 30th! Loved the shows, to the ambience, to the people you'll meet! So fun and made memories.
