Great live music in true Cuban fashion. Our server was super helpful and on point. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Will be back, hopefully soon. The rosters and chickens running around just add to the flavor hahaha. Wish I had taken some pictures inside but was busy enjoying music and food.

I Had to see the famous ball and chain restaurant in person. Very nice vibes and scenery. Cuban music was bumpin lol it was cool. I was a little to early for happy hour, but I would definitely go back and again. It's a place to bring friends and have a good time or to take a date.

Hats off to Robert our great waiter. Delicious mojitos but we didn’t know they were $14 when we ordered them. ? Food was delicious. Music was great! Wish it lasted past 9pm. Such an iconic location and a must for visitors to Miami. This kind couple who are locals bought us a drink just to be nice. ? So glad we came!!!

Really enjoyed the vibe there. Tried the Miami Mule, was so-so. Call me a cooler was full of Mongo flavor and good for those who like fruit cocktail. Also coco Capa, coconut cream flavor, more like a fruit beverage. The old fashion was good. My favorite there.The food was not satisfactory unfortunately. Not a fan of over friend food so didn’t like the food much. Will come and visits again next time to Miami.

Stopped by Ball & Chain while exploring Little Havana area in Miami. The live music will grab your attention and make you want to go in, dance and have a good time. Thats exactly what happened to my husband and I - we do not regret it one bit. The ambience is pretty nice and the music was amazing which will force you to hit the dance floor. For drinks, we ordered the tobacco infused old fashioned (my fav drink) and the guava sangria (second fav drink). The cuban old fashioned was something I never tasted and it was fantastic. The tobacco flavors were mild not overpowering the alcohol at all instead just elevating the drink to another level. The guava sangria was refreshing and tasted divine too. Service was great and mind you they charge 20% tip in your check so take note. Fantastic environment and all in all we had a fun time here and will be back again for sure. Highly recommend.

What an amazing place to hear live music and grab a drink. Anier our bar tender was amazing and very attentive not only to us but other customers as well. I stopped by because of the great live music playing and what a great choice it was. Drinks were great and very tasty. Although, I didn't get anything to eat but from the looks of the food it did look very tasty. I guess next time I will try the food. The atmosphere and vibe was amazing and will definitely come back again. This is a must try if you find yourself in this area. Thank you Ball & Chain !??

Every time I visit Miami, I make sure I visit Ball & Chain. There's always something going on there and on a hot day, their cold, crisp, refreshing Mojitos always hit the spot. It's a perfect place to take a break and hang out. Plenty of opportunities to people watch, listen to music, and get together with friends!

Such a fun event thanks to our lovely CM Farah and Yelp Miami volunteers!Ball n Chain is a well-known club on Calle Ocho and I've been here many times. It's always fun and the live music is always on point. For this event, we got to try some lite bites and sip cocktails. I was really happy that they were serving their famous Calle Ocho Old Fashioned. That's my favorite drink here. As for the bites, I tried the Ceviche Spoon, Ahi Tuna Amarillo, Gouda Croquettes and Short Rib Empanadas. Everything was fresh-made and very tasty. I was definitely obsessed with the croquettes and empanadas. I couldn't stop munching on them but can't be greedy...lol :) The night ended with a salsa class and boy, people were dancing their behinds off. It was so much fun to watch Yelp Elites let their hair down.I really enjoyed this event. The live band was amazing as expected. The food was delicious and the staff hustled all night to make sure everyone was having fun. Definitely, a night to remember!

Talk about living it up in Little Havana!!! Ball & Chain is the all in all down south Cuban experience that Miami has to offer. Carlos is gonna take care of all your drink needs at the bar while specializing in their World Famous MOJITO. Wait wait wait... don't for get ur dancing shoes cause they will be a must on the dance floor. Dancers performing on the bar serve as great entertainment while DJ OZZ keeps the vibe incredibly alive. The menu is no disappointment. No regrets here!!! ENJOY!!!
