About Bodega Taqueria y Tequila

Bodega Taqueria y Tequila is South Beach's beloved Mexican bar and casual eatery rolled into one wildly fun package. Located on 16th Street in Miami Beach, this laid-back yet trendy spot is famous for its zesty street tacos — al pastor, birria, crispy fish, and shrimp — paired with an extensive tequila and frozen margarita program.

The real draw for nightlife lovers is the hidden speakeasy tucked inside, drawing a loyal crowd of locals, college students, LGBTQ+ revelers, and tourists alike. Happy hour runs Monday through Thursday from 6–9 PM, making it a go-to stop before the South Beach night heats up.

On weekends, the venue stays open until 3 AM, with live music and a buzzing late-night scene fueled by craft cocktails and hard liquor. The on-site food truck adds a street-food energy that sets Bodega apart from typical bars.

With outdoor seating, sports TVs, and a casual-trendy atmosphere, it's equal parts neighborhood hangout and nightlife destination.
