Da Cave Miami — Local services in North Miami

Jan 19, 2025

Technically Jan 20 2025 2am. I was out celebrating my birthday time. I just paid entry to an event that I was invited to the night prior.

I approached the bar and was met by an unsettled and rude individual. Perhaps overwhelmed, I’m unsure. Anyway, I asked for Bacardi the person shook their head saying no and they don’t have any rum. They said they were busy and walked away.

They had shades or glasses on. A hat and was about 5 feet or so.

Anyway I walked around to the other side and saw the drink I asked for. So I went back to the person and they put their hands on me and said to move from the bar! They came into my space and put their hands on me.

My intention was to get a drink. I hadn’t been there for 5min. I asked them to take their hands off me.

Anyway they used their power to get security to ask me to leave.

I guess there is a first time for everything. I have never been asked to leave somewhere before. I learned her name was Nas or Naz and she is the bar manager. The promoters who invited me were taken aback and were advocating for me. But the security had to follow her request. He wasn’t told why I had to leave. I didn’t escalate or question it. I left with no further incident.

Nas or Naz your behavior was inappropriate. Poor customer service. You were upset because of nothing to do with me and took it out on me.

You were dishonest and didn’t take the time to make a good choice.

You lost a customer. I am an international traveller. I have been all over the world. You gave a poor representation of the establishment.

If I receive a follow up with an apology I will update this post accordingly as I understand that sometimes we make poor choices.

Cheers

I received a response and apology...

I went last night to see Nivea and it was such a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Let’s Start from the split section. Which is 1 section, split into 3. Yes 3 separate parties forced to sit directly next to each other, we no separation. With that being said, the party next to us had 2x the people they were supposed to In their area of section. That caused the overflow into our area (section) , which led to one of the managers coming to talk to them about moving over. They didn’t like that and started making gestures towards us, which could’ve been avoided if there were clear boundaries set. Then lets go to the part where they force you to buy 3 bottles, but on the website where you book the reservation says a 2 bottle min. This place is a joke, and you can tell they’re barely holding on so they’re trying everything. Try making your customers feel welcomed and comfortable, and maybe business might be better. All in All, not a Classy Place At All. You can’t enjoy yourself or your company because of the horrible setup of the bar. They also have a 1 bottle requirement to sit at the bar, like I said this place is a joke. 10/10 DO...

As a visitor to the Miami area, and a first time visitor at Da Cave, I was disappointed in my interaction with the bouncer (who wore a blazer). When I arrived, I wore a jacket and my friend wore flip flops (which she placed in my bag) but he informed me that was against company policy. This wasn’t an issue until I saw women wearing flip flops entering the establishment along with flip flops sitting to the side of the door entrance. I asked if I could do the same & was told no. Policies and rules should be followed by everyone and there should be zero tolerance for discrimination. If it weren’t for my friends birthday, I wouldn’t have returned. But once I did, I was met with a condescending, passive aggressive attitude and tone from the bouncer in the blazer. He began to antagonize me stating “what’s wrong with you” “Oh, she doesn’t want to talk” “What class are you going to teach?” “It looks like you’re going to teach a class by the looks of your purse”. I kept silent and did not reward his antics with a response. I was overall displeased with my...
