Bougainvillea's Old Florida Tavern

Is it a fancy place? No. Its a local dingy bar. What I like about bougies is that it can be a lot of different things depending on the night you go. Sometimes it's very laid back and relaxed, others it is a whole party. Not open too late, but late enough.

I have been a customer of this establishment for probably over 20 years. I have of course seen many changes in both the staff, the management, and mostly the attitudes of the employees. Although for the most part there are a few very respectful, kind, and attentive staff members, there are also a few who could absolutely use some additional training and/or personality adjustments.
If I'm going to bring my friends, and all of our hard earned money to spend at any bar, I expect to at least feel welcomed and treated kindly.
When I try to talk to management about it, I usually just get shuffled off to the side as if my opinion doesn't matter.
Maybe to them my one little opinion doesn't matter but it should. I grew up in this town and I know many people, not only in the bar business but all around this city and I can very easily take them to any other bar or restaurant and not go to this place to spend my hard earned money. As well they have absolutely upped their prices to a point that some people don't want to go there because they're just too expensive. We're not on Miami Beach and the drinks should not be costing $10 or $11 a pop, without tip! That is just ridiculous.
I'm sure there are other establishments in the South Miami area who would care to listen to a customer such as myself not only to keep my business but to teach the employees what should and shouldn't be done when it comes to their customers! So my opinion is that there are other places to go spend your money and enjoy a great time in South Miami without necessarily having to go to this bar. If management happens to read this and would like to reach out and actually get my opinion and hear what I have to say I will be more than happy to share it with them.

I had a great night with the crew, drinks were good and so was the music. Great atmosphere!!

One of my favorite bars regardless of the specials or day. It's not the cheapest. It's not expensive either, but it is worth it which is what matters! Go out and have a fun night!

I really liked visiting this place, the offer of varieties of drinks and the old-fashioned atmosphere in the style of the old west makes you feel comfortable in a modern city. I recommend this place without any doubts.

Of course I will visit you again without a doubt it is a very cozy place with good live music and a menu offer that has nothing to envy the other bars. Thank you for such a beautiful place and I hope you have more guests live, I will return the visit and I will continue recommending them because of the quality of envelopes they have to have a good time with friends and at home
