This place rocks when Just Gio is DJ/VJ-ing! I love how he hooks up TVs with the music videos, it really sets the vibe! The place itself is really cool, decorated all the way to the ceiling! Drinks are good and priced fairly - shout out to the bartenders!!!

No menu. no cocktails. smells like cigarettes. bottled beer only. tiny as hell. why am I here? has a live band I guess? even if a good band played, theres 4 chairs besides the bar and room for like 20 people standing tops. good luck.best suited for the newly 21.

We had such a great time! They had some great rock bands, and the place was packed. It was such a good vibe. The bartenders were fabulous. The drinks were delicious. They were pricey, but thats the norm on Miami Beach. Parking can be a challenge, but we will definitely be back!

If you are looking for a bar with a fun, playful, funky vibe. This is everywhere you want to be. A few friends & I stopped in here late during Happy Hour. They had $3 beers! You really cant beat that. The decor is very eclectic! You will enjoy looking at everything. The band they had in that evening was absolutely great & kept the joint jumping. Definitely recommend a stop here!

This little bar just off Collins Ave has the best god dam music playing every time we go there. And we go there a couple times every year after ultra music festival and Mismi music week. Sound system is banging. DJ’a off the hook. Drinks are good value. Staff are cool. Crowd here are great.

Thought this was a really cool bar, we were there during the curfew for spring break, wish we could have hung out here longer! It was really fun to see live bands versus all the clubs that arent my scene.

We ended up in this bar by accident and I’m so glad we did! It’s a dive bar but I definitely loved the atmosphere and the music. Karloz, the bartender made us delicious drinks especially his Bloody Mary’s. He was such a vibe that we ended up coming to the bar again the following night.

Best low key bar, slightly separated from the main area of Española way. The bar tender Karlos lives up to his reputation, made everyone in our group laugh and knows how to make a great drink. Overall loved the atmosphere of the place and there are plenty of places to sit and stand even for the size of the place. I cannot wait to come back for karaoke night

Karloz!!!! That’s it, that’s all!!! This bar was such a vibe, but Karloz made it 10474849 times better!! He had the most wholesome stories to tell and was so funny. Made us out-of-towners feel so at home it was literally torture to have to leave 😆 Just “wish he played more dance music.” 🤣 (inside joke). Seriously go see him, bartenders like him make the best memories.

What happened to Friday’s Drag Night? This was a great way to start my South Beach weekend, but we walked in and no show and the bar was pretty empty. We had one drink and left, we saw a few others do the same. New owners? :(

Review №35

They are so kind and fun and the environment is TOP NOTCH, artsy and cool, definitely a hole in the wall you don’t want to miss!!!!! I saw the bartender using gloves to dispense pre-cut limes into the garnish tray… which tells me they used gloves to cut them as well. This is SO IMPRESSIVE and important for cross contamination. It tells me how clean they are and how much they care for their clients! And that was just the start of how awesome they are. 15/10, definitely recommend!!!

So much fun! We went for Drag Friday and had a blast! It’s conveniently located and had awesome drink specials.

Couldn’t have had more fun if I tried!

Whatever Carlos the bartender is being paid, it is not enough! That mean singlehandedly ran that bar on a busy night WHILE hosting (and singing some) karaoke, all the while maintaining the good vibes and with a smile on his face. Bartender of the CENTURY. Also, fun bar, very friendly people

Review №43

I went to this bar last night. I think it would’ve been better if I didn’t open a tab. After ordering our first round of drinks I asked the bar tender if I could open a tab. He took my credit card. Nothing uncommon. When I went to close the tab he claimed he gave my credit card back to me. Then belittled me and treated me like I was stupid. He said “I’m not the one who has been drinking you are”. He claimed he only had one card with a tab and it wasn’t mine. Once he could see I was coherent and not backing down that he had my card it appeared out of thin air. I just wonder how many people come in and get their card stolen from this guy when they’re intoxicated. The take away from this. If you go here make sure you don’t open a tab.

Review №44

Small but FUN! The performers are good, but the decor and the bartender, Carloz, will blow your mind! He is the king/queen of multi-tasking! Sit tight honey, even though he doubles as the show host, you will get your drink fast. It was fun just watching him. His wit cuts like a well sharpened knife. You cant tip him enough, hes worth so much more! Dont miss this FABULOUS bar!

Out of towner who felt right at home! Carlos is AMAZING! One of the best bartenders Ive ever seen on the job. No one had to wait for a drink. This is a great dive bar with all different kinds of people. Prices are what they are in South Beach, but the specials are always an option. Wednesday night was ladies night and they drink for free 10-2. If I ever come back, this is the only place I will be going to. Such a great bar.

Karloz has to be one of the coolest bartenders I have ever met. Cool place that is more dive bar and less Miami club. No cover and half price from 8-10pm.It’s also connected to another bar that has pool tables and you can take drinks between them!

Great beer selection and great djs! Breaks Yo is one of the best events they have and their bartenders have so much personality! The only thing that would make the place one thousand times better would be to not allow smoking. The place is so small that it would be easy for people to step outside to smoke. It is not 1994 anymore!

I couldnt believe this was the Kill Your Idol dive bar that has been around for some time! I have always heard of this spot before from so many people! It was pretty cool that we stumbled into it and got to check out the venue! They have a pretty large selection of drinks available and the karaoke is always fun to hop on with friends. The design, decor, and the vibe has definitely an old school variety feel to it. Very unique and very far away from your mainstream type of places.

Review №61

One of my fav places to go when we are back at our old stomping ground in Sobe. We moved away years ago but this is the most fun place to go. I have always said if I was opening a bar there is only ONE bar manager I would consider and that would be Karloz. He MAKES this place what it is. Great drinks, great atmosphere and that is all mostly all down to him. Do yourself a favor and go and see what I mean, He will remember you every time you visit I promise! Youre welcome! :D

Super fun time. We came to Miami for vacation and found this bar. The happy hour was super long and really good beers. We stayed for the drag show and it was bomb. I would definitely recommend for someone coming here and not trying to club and stay out until 7am. Super fun and super cool bar!

I came into the bar because it looked like everyone at the bar was having a great time, and the bartender Carlos was incredible. I didn’t have to wait long at all for anything even though he was hosting a show and seemed to be running the music too. I forgot to ask for his playlist! The locals told me that every night is a good night when Carlos bartends so im going to have to come back!

Best dive bar in all of miami. Karloz the bartender is the most attentive, quick, and witty bartender to ever serve me. He’s always got a funny story to tell you while he makes your drinks. Fridays for drag are always such a good time and the Saturday burlesque show is incredible!

Review №77

Back in the 80s in the lower East Side of Manhattan there would be these hole in the wall places .There we would have great times and the music and bar tenders were all so marvelous. Nothing pretentious. And it would attract the most interesting crowds. This is that sort of place in many ways. And unlike the often violent drink prices on most of Miami Beach, they keep theirs at a very sensible level!

I always have a great time here. The bartender Karlos is not only easy on the eyes. He is also am incredible bartender.

Thank you Karlos for making my evenings enjoyable every time.

Review №85

The least south beach of any venue youll find on south beach. Happy hour drinks are dirt cheap. Food is pub-perfect. Everyone is welcome and heels are not required. in short, KIY is basically the perfect neighborhood bar, and if Punk Rock Chris is behind the bar, its also the perfect place to learn about weird cult films youve never heard of and will likely never be able to find.

Awesome bar with some great deals on drinks! The bartenders, DJ, and bouncers are very welcoming. However, when googling gay bars in south beach Miami this bar popped up. My friends and I, who are gay, went 3 weeks ago and had a confrontation with these guys at this bar. They told us that we dont belong there and that we are going to hell. So yes, this is a fun and friendly bar but I wouldnt consider it a gay bar. So LGBT community keep your guard at this place.

Review №96

It was okay. The atmosphere and decor really make the bar feel cozy and at-home, however the fantastic location is thrown off by the overbearingly loud music to the point I couldnt have a conversation with my friend right next to me without repeating myself. On top of this, there seems to be a lack of quality security if there was a patron doing drugs in the upper floor with nobody caring to stop them. The drinks and specials are moderately priced.

Hands down the best bar in Miami Beach. The prices are unbelievable for South Beach. $3 PBRs? Ladies drink free on Wednesdays? Theres the standard row of draft beer and any cocktail you want. Every weekday there is a fun activity or live music here. This is the place for alternative locals to go. The decor is out of this world, e.g. spaceships, Mr. Potato Heads, alligators, an airplane; you can spend hours looking around. They show cult classics on the screen. Great place. Miami Beach wouldnt be the same without it. :)

SUPER cool spot. We are from Ohio and wanted to do something less touristy. Very... different! When we walked in - first thing we saw was the infamous Bruce Lee statue coming off of the wall, there was a stand up show going on - loved it! Weird side note - there was some kind of 70s soft core porn playing on the TV above the stage, on loop. Haha so that made for an interesting night! Full of every type of person with great stories! We met someone from Morocco, Pakistan, Miami, England, Israel, Puerto Rico, and Georgia! Bartenders are super cool and easy going! Highly recommend!

The best bar on South Beach next to Lost weekend of course. The bartenders Brik and Holly seriously are the best hands down and and even the GM Mr. Carey is by far the coolest down to earth dude. Security and Door staff (Benny) are doing their best to make you feel safe and keep the riff raff out. Fun place and the djs play the best music.

Stopped by yesterday with girlfriend for a drink and waited for about 15 minutes and was never attended by the bartender, she took care of everyone else but us so we left to the other side of the bar.

Decent deal for a miami beach bar. Cool vibes. Reminded me of the Gainesville college scene. Their comedy event was fun as well. Needs friendlier bartenders.

Bad experience, the guy at the bar was thinking about singing and didnt need people, we waited almost an hour, without receiving anything. Avoid this place, especially if there is the blond guy at the bar
