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.

My wife and I had a great time at Willy's. We enjoyed the up beat atmosphere and music. They had a live drummer and DJ. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive. Our bartender, Joao did a stellar job of keeping our group happy and provided an assortment of unique and skillfully crafted drinks.

Had a great time here. The bartender, Joao, took great care of us! He was really fun and our drinks were amazing! Hopefully he’s working next time we come. Music was also great, loved it here!

Joao’s customer service at Willy’s was top-notch! He was warm, engaging, and made sure every guest was well taken care of. His cocktails were amazing, and his genuine passion for his work really shines through. Can’t wait to come back!

Visited last week and had the pleasure of being served by Joao, The drinks were fantastic, perfectly crafted, and got us in great spirits! Overall the bar was super efficient—like watching a well-oiled machine in action. We’ll definitely be 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!!!
