The Bar

This Giralda Plaza drinking den has been a Coral Gables staple since it opened in 1946 as a beer hall. Notwithstanding its cadre of diehard regulars, the crowd here skews younger — Millennials and Gen Xers who mass here late at night and on the weekends (especially on Fridays when ladies drink free until 7:30 p.m.). If you want to avoid finding yourself packed shoulder to shoulder as the evening wears on, visit at an off hour for a whistle-wetter and a bite. At a glance, the menu may seem basic — wings, burgers, loaded tater tots — but every dish here is leveled up a skosh. That's what we call maturity!
