Bolivar bar & brasserie Review

Super amazing the whole atmosphere you eat the music

Bolivar good place and nice food.

I didn't like that service charge was included and quite expensive $60 for two people lunch

All women servers and bartender at the time we were there. Service was great and friendly. Even danced with us from our seats of course. We came in because of the nice lady outside the door advertising their specials etc. Only had drinks but they were well made. Will definitely go here again.

Really good drinks here and also the crispiest pork belly I've had; it's different, so don't be alarmed, because you'll think it's too dry. But give it a second and let it dissolve as you chew it and the flavors will sneak up on you.

The food came out at a lightning place which indicates to me it had been pre-prepared in the extreme, but what I had was really tasty. The Plantains are a bit pricey at eight dollars, but the shrimp and the octopus starters were great. Had a main of the fish from Cartegena which I can't remember the name of. That was really good. Very friendly and efficient service.

This place is awesome. Excellent food,sevice location. Best Colombian restaurant in south beach

Friendly service, fun ambiance, and very large portions here, but it s unfortunately average. We ordered tequila - fresh watermelon - fresh line cocktails and these were the highlight of our meal (even though not much tequila and we considered ordering extra shots to improve them). I saw other folks get complimentary corn cakes, but those weren t offered to us. We ordered the 6 shots of ceviche, the patacones con pollo, and the pabellon de sifrino, all to share. We didn t think to ask for them to come in any order, and everything arrived at once, very quickly. So the sifrino was cold by the time we got to that dish. And we never received any serving utensils. The food was definitely fine. Nothing bad, all pretty tasty. This place is fine and I think a good value for the relatively low price.

Check in on Yelp for a free licorice shot. Food was delicious and portions were big. We had the pescado margarita and the churrasco. Note that gratuity is already included in the bill.

Thought a little expensive the food is great! Good sizes, you can usually share a dish between 2 people, and everything was delicious.

We had a late breakfast here.... My scrambled eggs, rice and beans, and arepa were very good. I added the columbian sausage for $2 bringing my meal which included cafe con leche and juice (delicious blackberry) to $12, which was reasonable and all was good quality and tasted good. The part that grossed me and my wife out were the re-used sauces brought out in a crusty tea light tray...the spoons had crusted sauce on them from the previous day and some of the sauces had crusted over and this was stirred in to look "fresh". I'm sorry to say we would probably not waste our time or money on this restaurant again.

It is a very nice place. Good attention and delicious food.

Very delicious food and nice atmosphere. There was some mistake on my bill,but the manager was very helpful and fixed that problem.Only thing I didn't like was they calculate service fee automatically and add to your receipt, which I think is not nice.other than that was very good.

Things taste good and the decoration is very style. It s just that you have to add a tip, but you don t need it at all. If you serve well, we will add it ourselves. I feel that many shops in Miami are like this.

I was here a couple years ago the first time I was in Miami so I had to make the trip back. Pleasantly surprised to find the eche civiche I loved so much last time is still on the menu and still just as good! This time I tried the el Libertador, national drink of Colombia the bartender says, definitely suggest getting it yourself!

Went there on a Monday night late (10PM). The staff was very friendly. The selections on the menu are from Columbia, Venezuela, Peru, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. They also have a good selection of ceviche and tapas. I'm definitely heading back.

This restaurant is a must when visiting Miami! We visited this when looking for ideas online and we were glad that we stumbled upon this online? Food was great and portions were really generous for price in Miami. Some of the best value! The service was over he top also. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and the waitress gave us an appetizer on the house and a shot of Aguardiente on the house. They had a big celebration for my wife as well! Must go here. Thank you for the best service!

Great atmosphere, and food. The fried fish was amazing

It was wonderful best food you will get in Miami great drinks great service if it is your birthday definitely tell them the will make it special and hilarious!!!!!!

Really cool place, great, interesting food and good service.

Everything was perfect. Great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food is amazing. A restaurant that we always visit whenever we are in Miami.

Had dinner there last night. Prices for everything are up there . 18% was added to our check, party of 3????? It's usually done to 6 or more or separate checks. The bill was presented with a fold over the amount . The fold on top had a blank space for additional tip and suggested amount percentages. We almost left 36%, and our friends almost did too. It's dim lit and if you don't really get out a flashlight and examine your bill, you'll be taken to the cleaners. How deceptive and crooked way to treat visitors. No

Spent like 5 minutes waiting at the door, nobody greeted or showed me to my table, despite the restaurant being half empty.

Delicious food and all types of amazing hand crafted Latin cocktails! Felt like Columbia!!

SO good! Cool decor on the interior, good Latin music bumping (but not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation), very friendly servers, and DELICIOUS food and drinks. The Bandeja Paisa, with griddle steak, crispy pork belly, avocado, red beans, rice, plantains, fried egg, mini corn cake, and the Colombian sausage added was mucho gusto, and the mojitos and caipirinhas paired wonderfully with it. A perfect addition to your South Beach Miami experience.

Very good restaurant. Loved their passion fruit desert.

Great food! Especially the tapas. And they have a great "pick 7" deal that you can split between 2-3 comfortably.

Excellent service, the food and ambience is outstanding, matter of fact it was so good I ordered another drink after we paid because I didn t want to leave. We spent our anniversary there and we will definitely be back!!

The shrimp chowder is excellent and worth $14. Other dishes were uneven.

Wonderful authentic food! 2 blocks from Ocean Ave and a lot better than anything else around!

The experience here was amazing. The food was amazing. The Drinks were amazing. The staff....AMAZING....the groupon....amazing....bottom line, AMAZING!

Food was amazing. Drinks were on point. First time going won't be the last. Great experience.

My husband and I, came to Bolivar restaurant for dinner with our children and let me tell you, these pictures make no justice for how good and delicious our food was. Very delicious!!!!

Best part of this place was the ambience, you got to give them that. They have meticulously tried to maintain the Colombian atmosphere inside and the decor inside is pretty authentic. I was there during the World Cup so they re playing the game but we went in around afternoon so the place was totally empty we were the only ones dining there. The service is really nice, but it s a little bit on the pricier side to be aware of that. Also the serving sizes a little smaller. But the food taste is amazing and they serve it real fancy. They explain to you what the food is and how to eat it which is great. One thing I did not like at the end they showed the service charge was included which was the same amount as the tip so I was confused if I should also give a tip. We ordered the crab cake which was yummy as hell, then we did order two more Colombian dishes which were amazing. The steak was real well cooked and sliced exactly the way I like it and I loved the fried pineapple on the side. Give them a try and I can totally tell that they would get really busy during peak hours like evenings. Their bar looked amazing!

Great spot!! We ve been here twice, both times consistently amazing. We LOVE the fried whole mojarra and the grilled octopus. Very reasonably priced, classic Colombian seafood dishes.

it was TERRIBLY expensive, and I spent 80$ on the bill, for only 2 meals and a wine, and me and my love left hungry just the same!!!!

We found this restaurant on Yelp and decided to give it a try. They have food from practically every country in Latin America, although their specialty I would say is Colombian food. EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS. The dishes are large and filling. Highly recommended to go with friends and share dishes and try a little of everything.

They have an offer of 2 tapas for $ 14 (I think I remember) but it is not worth much. For that price you ask for a plate that is larger and carries more things.

The food is pricey, but well deserved. The atmosphere is perfect for an adventurous. And the staff is top notch. I'm glad I stumbled up on this amazing latinx restaurant.

Good for happy hour. Different drinks, but with salty price. But they are the attraction of the place. Worth knowing.

Wow
Great food!
Beautiful staff!!!

I came in out of curiosity during the lunch special and it did not disappoint. I loved the setting, the service was the best I ve ever had compared to any other restaurant. The staff was too kind. I was shook, I ll be bringing my family. Definitely check this place out for a taste of Colombia!

We were passing through the neighborhood and we do not regret the good Bolivian dishes

It s an okay restaurant. Food is good and tasty, although oily. The salad is good too.
Everything is overpriced and the waiters are nice; however, they don t do their job in a good pace. They re slow and make you wait a while before they come at your table.

Ome la bandeja paisa esta deli, awesome ambience, and as always, colombian beauties.

This place was wonderful! Would definitely recommend if you visit South Beach. Try the mojarra it's amazing.

My husband and I both ordered the Brazilian Picanha and it was delicious! The portions were great and the steak was cooked to perfection. The service was good, the restaurant itself is a really cool spot, the ambiance is great. They also gave us a complimentary appetizer on the house that was also very delicious. I highly recommend this place and would definitely visit again.

Good place to visit good menus of recommended food !!!

Great Colombian food. I would recommend the Derces ceviche (the mango one) is my favorite ceviche in Miami that last time I went I order two orders and ate them both.

Also went to see Colombia beat Argentina yesterday and it was incredibly loud with Colombia fans so come here for any Colombia soccer game if you want to enjoy a communal sports game. The DJ is great too.

Food was better than expected. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Not a tourist trap. Worth it!

Pretty amazing. Best steak I think I've ever had honestly, Got the Churrasco with chimmichurri sauce. Excellent. Husband had the snapper and loved it, both suggested my the server. Nice atmosphere, very friendly staff.

Came her for NYE. It was the PERFECT spot for our preference. We didn't wsnt.to be super.vlose to crowds and just wanted good food and a great setting. Everything was a great experience!
