Rude door man when empty at 8:05 PM on a Saturday night. We live in Miami, frequently bring our company to the beach, originally from Tampa like Wet Willies. Tonight our friend from London accidentally went in the exit. Door man said this way, he apologized and went to the entrance area. He then proceeded to say no go out the way you came in and walk around. There was no line. As a former bouncer, bartender and restaurant manager, now a customer service supervisor for a Fortune 500 company, if this is how you run your business I’ll pass. We left and Sugar Factory gladly toor our $200 for about 45 minutes! I am glad to see you are doing so well you can chase customers away. There are much better choices go where they appreciate your business.

The draw here are the grain alcohol slushies. The food is typical bar fare. We love it here and go very time we're at South Beach. The staff is wonderful. You get what you pay for. People watching from the second floor deck is a real hoot.

Thank you so much Norma for the conversation, and amazing hospitality, and assisting me with alternative instead of the stairs lol. Above, and beyond. Thank you Brenda, and Juju beautiful spirit drinks are still the best🤩

Wet Willie's is the best Daquari Bar hands down. No matter the city I go to, if there is a Wet Willie's I am there. This location however is the best as, if you're on the balcony you overlook Ocean Drive (strip) and the Ocean...... the music is banging and the vibes are everything. I could just hang out at Wet Wille's everyday. The food is good too!!!!!

My favorite place in Miami. Perfect location on the balcony to view ocean drive and the beautiful blue ocean water. This time the balcony was closed for construction but I went anyway because I love the wings and frozen drinks. I think the best drink is called “call-a-cab”.

My Friend and I had to seat ourselves upstairs . We then asked twice to be given a menu - both times of which we never got service. After a good 15mins we had to go up and get our own menu. We waited 10 mins for someone to take our order.
When our food game, the waiter threw our plates of food on the table and walked off. We asked for mayonnaise sachets and we came back once again throwing our sachets on the table and walked off with attitude. This made me so angry !
Half way through eating our meal, another waitress brought us our bill and claimed she was giving it to us early because the kitchen was closed. As far as I was concerned, that was disrespectful.
Our bill included a $3 tip which stated on the bottom of the receipt that it was not compulsory - we were allowed to lower the tip, higher the tip or price match it. My friend and I decided not the pay the tip at all due to this disrespectful service. I paid the meal + tax and left. The same waitress AND a security guard chased after me down the street claiming in front of everybody outside that we hadn't paid our full bill. I explained to her why I refused to pay a tip, she argued with us and walked off in a huff eventually!
This was embarrassing and rude of her. I contacted her manger later on in the week and reported both staff members that gave poor service - we received free drinks in the end !

We visited this place on our way out for the evening while walking down Ocean Drive. It seemed to be a recommended bar on trip advisor with comments like ‘must visit’ but having visited I have no idea why.
I’ll start with the most concerning fact. We ordered one round of 4 drinks and some chips and dip. This came to $95, my friend paid $50 and I paid $45 on our cards. Later that evening he noticed them trying to take 2 more transactions on his card, and having called his bank they confirmed it wasn’t a holding fee or pre-auth, it was full transactions (they charged him the full $95, $50, and $45). He only signed for the $50 and the $45 was debited from my account. We had to return and the waitress was not happy at all to be asked why this had happened, sour faced and rude about it (not even an apology). She had asked us earlier where we were from, and we’d said the UK, shall we assume this was a mistake rather than an attempt to scam tourists who might not check their account in time to rectify this type of thing...
It took 3 days to resolve and the bank had to be heavily involved in getting the money back. Great start to our holiday!
This aside, the place and drinks are awful. Sticky tables, poor service. The frozen drinks are already made up in large dispensers behind the bar, so I have no idea how it can take over 30mins to pour 4 drinks when the place was pretty empty at the time. The drinks themselves are sugary rubbish, not a ‘cocktail’ and we all left at least half. They are served in the cheapest possible flimsy disposable plastic cups, and hilariously cost $14. The cheese dip also wasn’t nice and came with a skin on it so probably sat under a heat lamp too long.
I’ve never wanted to completely remove a tip from somewhere, but I can’t believe how over priced and yet so bad this place is.
If you go late at night once already drunk maybe you can enjoy this place when you can’t see how bad it actually is.
My advice is don’t go, and if you do make sure you pay in cash...

Popped in for a drink after the beach. Had planned on a snack here but after seeing how filthy the women's bathroom was I decided against ordering food. I have never seen a filthier restroom in a restaurant. It was worse than a public beach bathroom. Had an overpriced daiquiri and left the place trying not to touch anything.
