Jada Coles

I’ve had this bar saved in one of my collections for a while after visiting the Gibson Room just a few blocks away. I consider this a hidden gem, much the Gibson room and a few other bars in the area. Came after dinner for the live music and walked into a jazz jam session with Russ Spiegel shredding his guitar and the rest of the trio doing their thing. I didn’t expect to enjoy some mean jazz tunes and a few Beatles classics but not bad for my first time. Sat down with a perfectly crafted Manhattan and had me a good ol’ time. The joint is nice and there’s a pool table outside with plenty of seating area, a few tables inside as well. I believe they do karaoke as well. After a few Manhattan ‘s in my system, I got the late night cravings and placed an order of wings and fries. The fries were good and the wings were also well seasoned with a side of BBQ sauce but nothing to really rave about, just decent drunk bar food that hits just right when you’re trying to sober up a little, ya know. Crowd wasn’t rowdy and the whole vibe was just chill so I like that. I’m glad more little hidden bars like these are popping up in town.

I definitely love this place. The place is nothing than a small dark space full of great people. You do not find the “trendy Miami” ones, this is more like a regular place where you can hang with your friends every day and you have a great time. I definitely recommend it to everyone who just want to go to chill and have a good time. All the staff are friendly and awesome!

I've been avoiding writing a review of my neighborhood watering hole, but I can't resist singing their praises. I typically only come as part of the Thursday-Saturday crowd (though my roommate is here far more often than that - there's a reason we all find ourselves here eventually), but recently went on Sunday for poker night during a three day weekend. The bartenders are literally all great, unpretentious people. Drinks range from $4 for an imperial to $9 for a Jamie ginger. No matter how many times we bring new friends here or drunkenly leave our phones behind until the next day, they always have our backs with a friendly smile. And quarters for the pool table. And a little puppy for certain nights. The redid their space inside, so seating is really only outside on the patio, or at the bar. But Jada's doesn't get so packed where you can't find a place to rest your laurels. Regulars are nice folks who don't laugh at you when you suck at pool (you have to play the previous winners, your treat), and some might even teach you to shuffle if you're that far gone that dancing to their alt-rock playlist is part of your night. I don't want to spoil too many of their secrets, but know that there are karaoke nights, burlesque nights, live music, the works. You just gotta get your way to Coral Way to find out for yourself. Pro tip: don't park across in any of the business lots - they will boot your car.

Small cozy bar tucked into a small strip along Coral Way. Hosting different events nightly ranging from Poker to Karaoke this bar attracts a lively crowd nightly. The staff and bartenders are knowledgeable, experienced and friendly; able to whip up all your cocktail favorites. In addition to having a great indoor space the outdoor patio offers great seating options as well as a large screen projector TV and pool table. Wonderful spot. Definitely will be back.
