The Anderson

We have been here a couple of times before with friends and always had a good time. It is a popular spot for many locals. They have decent bar food and drinks. The bartender is fun and makes a good drink. The ambiance is casual with a hipster vibe. They have 2 bars: one indoors and the other is outdoors. Choose for your mood. Both places are nice. The night we went, it wasn't busy at all, and we didn't feel like staying. It was the last stop of the evening, and we were tired by then. But we liked what we saw and will go again in the near future. There is a small parking lot in the back for free. If it is full, then you can park in the small strip next to the Anderson.

Went here for lunch after a friend's grandson's bar Mitzvah. A Mexican restaurant where the reception was outside on their patio. For hors d'oeuvre, they served hummus and guacamole with chips and vegetables. For lunch, it was a buffet with Caesar salad, a taco bar with beef, chicken , mushrooms, corn, and black beans. Left early, not for us.

Watch out Shorty’s the BBQ at The Anderson is over the top fantastic Hard to choose between the brisket, pork or chicken. The live music is great with the super funky retro atmosphere. We loved trying different Cocktails from all of the different themed bars under one roof. Make sure to try the Made in House corn tortillas at the Taco Bar super yummy

Love the Anderson. I had visited my first time to Miami with a family friend & didn't remember the name, then when I visited recently I sought this place out based on Google maps vibes & when I got there realized it was the same place I had fallen in love with. I love all the spaces, especially the outdoor areas. The drinks are great, the staff are cool. Definitely a good time especially when there's a live dj.

Great atmosphere and really awesome energy. We actually decided to check up the PopUp Market event that was been done at this bar. It was an overall awesome experience. Many many local vendors, great music played through the day. We had such a great time while we enjoyed some cocktails and the phenomenal music played by DJ Francesca @cavaliere_inesistente

Reviewing El Toro Taco Bar. First of all, that “valet” when the place is empty is entirely unnecessary. The parking is literally right next to it. A friend invited us here for BBQ, but there was only the taco place open. The guacamole was bland. The queso fundido was crazy chewy; I couldn’t even bite it. So I didn’t order the tacos, but my friend did, and she didn’t like them. Also, she mentioned that the margarita won an award in some competition, so we all ordered it, but it was an average margarita. The staff was friendly.

I've been going here since it was Magnum piano bar years ago. Now its the Anderson and this place has expanded their outdoor space and they also has food trucks. The indoor venue was also modernized but they kep the original bar which is nostalgic. I love the different sections outside. Also they have a taco and pizza vendor that serves delicious food. I like the tacos from El Toro. Good quality and always made to order. I normally eat them inside "The Shack" which is a bar in a little hut outside. The drinks their are really good and the bartdender is super friendly. This is a great place to hangout with your friends. Check their website for the live performances. They do have good bands playing inside the lounge.

Update: i always have a great time here. Sunday afternoons they play some fun EDM and there was a live sax player when we went. There were happy hour drinks that were made well and tacos that were delicious and fit in perfectly with the fun vibe. Highly recommend the chicken tacos, the shrimp tacos, and the guac! Guac came with these fried chips that tasted like they were made in house. So thick and crunchy, delicious! Cons: parking is not so fun. Sometimes they have $5 valet but this past sunday they did not. We ended up having to ask a bartender where we could park. She was very sweet and let us know which cars we could block based on what she knew about them (regulars who tend to stay late, or staff). 2018: Love this bar's vibe. They have both indoor and outdoor areas. It was dead when we went but we still had a good time. The craft cocktails are made well, and the fried rice was excellent! We would come back for the fried rice alone.
