Dropped by here for more dancing during our bar hopping through Miami's Little Havana area. It was a fun and picturesque venue with a nice patio as you walk through the dance floor to just chill and get food at. The music was a lot of fun as well!

Being at this place, listening to music, sipping a mojito, and getting to understand that you are sitting in a 90-year-old pub was absolutely amazing. The ambience was absolutely eclectic, with live music all the while I was sitting there. Everyone was enjoying the salsa, and usually everyone gets up and starts dancing to the beats. The atmosphere is that infectious. I spent about five hours at the place and did not feel bored for even a second. Absolutely loved it. I tried their Jerk Roasted Chicken Wings, and they were fabulous. Also tried their Margaritas and Mojito, and they were good.

My friend and I had heard about the free salsa lesson at Ball & Chain on Wednesdays and decided to finally check it out, and I’m so glad we did. The salsa class ran from 9 to 10 and was such a great experience. The instructor was upbeat, engaging, and had great dance moves, calling out the steps as the dance floor gradually started filling up. After the lesson, people stayed for the live band, which was amazing, playing a mix of popular songs and keeping the energy going all night. There were dancers of all levels, and everyone was incredibly welcoming and friendly, people danced with everybody, which made the whole atmosphere feel fun and inclusive. It was honestly a joy to be there and meet so many interesting characters. The staff were wonderful too, from the bouncer outside to the bartender, everyone was kind and welcoming. We even found out Karol G’s conga player was performing with the band that night, which made the experience even cooler. Between the class and all the dancing afterward, it definitely turned into a workout, but the best kind.

Ball and Chain was the venue for my husband and I's welcome party for our wedding. Everything about working with them while planning, to the actual event was incredible. They were so accommodating, helped us navigate budget factors, and were patient and kind with us throughout since we were planning from across the country. I highly recommend hosting an event there, and working with Sam! She is a dream. The event was so incredible, it made us nervous about topping it the next night at our wedding! I could not recommend it more. The experience was incredible.

A Must-Visit for the Ultimate Little Havana Experience! 💃 Nights like this make Miami unforgettable! Stepping into Ball & Chain felt like stepping back in time—rich history, incredible live music, and the best energy on Calle Ocho. It was easily our favourite dinner experience in the city. The service was outstanding; the staff was amazing, constantly ensuring our drinks were topped off and checking in to make sure every dish was perfect. The Lineup: * World Famous Mojito: Refreshing and perfectly balanced. (during Happy Hour, buy one get one free!) * Vaca Frita: Crispy, flavourful, and authentic. * Tropical Ensalada: A perfect fresh pairing for the meal. * Virgin Piña Colada: Creamy, tropical, and delicious! Between the live band and the 100% good vibes, this place is a total showstopper. Don't leave Miami without stopping here! 🍹✨.
