When preparing for my trip to Miami, I was thrilled about visiting Ball & Chain. It's a distinctive venue with a rich history. We enjoyed a few drinks, relished the live music, and appreciated the friendly and attentive staff. Overall, it was a fantastic experience in Little Havana.
Incredible ambiance. The drinks were truly yummy. The live music was not only great but also had an lively vibe, adding an extra layer of enjoyment. A definite recommendation for those in search of a place with fantastic atmosphere, delicious drinks, and lively live music.
We came here to celebrate my birthday & I can’t say enough what an amazing evening we had! Anna, our server, was one of the nicest people we met in Miami to start. The spicy margarita was unreal - I had multiple! The elote appetizer was delicious! We did the family style chicken dinner - the portion was a bit small for the price but tasted great! The whole vibe was perfection! Started with live music and then the DJ started at 9pm with then free salsa dance lessons and an all out party! They surprised me with quite the birthday sparklers and confetti canon! It was an amazing night and I’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Miami and wanting an all-in-one night out experience!
What a great experience for my first time to Little Havana. The live music was rockin with Cuban tunes, and the hosts and servers were top-notch. This place has been open since 1935, serving up Miami with authentic Cuban culture and live music and food. Definitely a must do if you are in Little Havana.
Nice little place with the live band going. The drinks are very good but be aware that it is very expensive also. But pretty much everything in little Havana is pretty expensive. Two drinks and an appetizer came out to be about $70.
I have recommended this place to many of my VIP clients and finally it was my turn as I was in the country and State. Love the decor.
The food was amazing the drinks very very 👍 good. Diana was our server and she was on point. We had a party of 10+ people and she mastered all of it. Bravo Diana SE que no era facil. :Feedback- I am a home grown Miami gal and this place is a have too if your new to Miami or not. Drinks are great and ambience is fun. THE MUSIC is very, very loud We had to leave after the DJ arrived as it seemed to get even louder. I will be back when the back room opens.
Omg!!!!! What a place. If you want to go back in time to a place with amazing atmosphere. Great food and dancing to music that is timeless this is truly the place to be. I wish I had gone there sooner. Come and be wowed like I was. It left me wanting more. The bartenders were great. You have to check this amazing place out. You'll regret it if you dont.
We only had drinks which were predictably not cheap but were tasty. A Cuban band struck up while we were there, great music but next time I'll sit farther away. :) Cool atmosphere.
Stopped in for Happy Hour. This place embraces all aspects of the Cuban culture. From the food, to the drinks to the live band. Highly recommended!!
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at the ball and chain. The DJ was pretty good and they had a couple of live bands also. Everyone there was pretty friendly and we danced all night. The restaurant was not open on this night but we were able to get drinks with no problems. You can also buy a table but if you didn't you have to stand. Overall we had a wonderful time.
Only had the mojito - delicious, could have been a little stronger for the price. However it's the atmosphere you're paying for.
Recently had a great experience at a Cuban restaurant Ball & Chain in Miami! Cuban tacos are a delicious and unique dish, and Cuban coffee is known for its strong flavor and aroma.
Tacos were made with fresh, authentic ingredients, such as Cuban pork, black beans, rice, and pico de gallo. The Cuban coffee was likely brewed with a rich, dark roast of coffee beans and served with sugar. Overall, had lively atmosphere and friendly service.
Even though we didn’t go in due to limitations in time, but wanted to share with you guys, atmosphere is amazing for the Salsa lovers. We’ll try them in our next visit.( had a nice clip about this place, but for some reason, it’s not allowing me to uploaded.
I sat at the bar for 20/minutes before the bartender came over..it was not busy, and several other servers and bartenders saw me sitting there. No one made an attempt to even greet me. When he finally brought me the menu and eventually my food, he didn't speak, smile or anything. No, there was no language barrier, cause my native tongue is Spanish. But otherwise food was great the live band was awesome.
We orders a few snacks, finger foods and beverages !!
Music was lovely and the place was really giving great energy
Nice place for dancing.
admission is free for woman/man. You only need ID and it might be a line to get inside.
They offer DJ + live music singer + dancers
It would be lots of paper confetti poppers and cold spark.
Drink order in the bar starts at about $20.
You can find paid/free parking one block away on the north.
Really fun place. Historic latin dance club that largely lives up to it’s name. Excellent Mojito - which they’re known for. Happy Hour was excellent with a Buy-One-Get-One deal on cocktails, beer and wine. We got rightfully buzzy! The music was great - authentic music with really great musicians. We even had a few apps through the night, the Wings and the Guava Pastry were standouts. If you find yourself in Little Havana - make sure to swing in or at least check out the music from the sidewalk!
Vibes, food, and live music were all immaculate. I had the Little Havana Salmon and Guava Sangria pitcher (which comes with a literal fiesta :) ) and both were amazing. Thank you Elsy and Leidy for your hospitality! Would come back if I come back to Miami !
AMAZING!!! All of my live Cuban music dreams came true tonight! Wonderful people, food, & atmosphere!
