Great burgers, good drinks great service. I usually rank wedges very low on the potato hierarchy, but these were delicious and bucked the trend. The angus burger was just perfectly spicy , cooked just right and the bun was super fresh. The prices were stupid for burgers and fries but that’s normal for Miami. NOTE: Watch out for the door to the all gender bathroom on the way to the men’s bathroom. I almost took a door to the teeth.

Wow, just wow. The Canvas Bar is a beautifully curated experience from start to finish. The ambience strikes the perfect balance between a chill lounge/bar and a spacious, welcoming restaurant, making it an ideal setting for all occasions . The menu offers a thoughtfully crafted mix of cuisines inspired by the proprietors background with a mix of Italian but focusing on American cuisines , with every dish feeling intentional and genuinely delicious. Service is another highlight you’re never overwhelmed, yet you always have exactly what you need. Whether you’re planning a date night, celebrating with a larger group, or just catching your favorite sports game on one of their many TVs, The Canvas Bar delivers a warm welcoming experience. I can’t wait to spend more time with friends and family and this hidden little gem.

Absolutely fantastic experience! This sports bar exceeded all expectations. The food was nothing short of 5-star quality . The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, music 80s making it a great spot to relax and enjoy. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. I can’t recommend this place enough you’re there for the food, the drinks, or the sports, it’s amazing all around. I’ll definitely be coming back!

It’s been a year since we’ve been living above this amazing place that has saved our dinner plans so many times! On top of the great service, they offer a special to-go option for residents living above, with discounted prices. My husband and I order at least once a week from Canvas Restaurant, the all menu is amazing but the baby back ribs and the Milanese are our favorites! The drinks, bar, and overall atmosphere are really cool; we truly love having this spot so close to us. The owner, Giuseppe, is wonderful, always available with a big smile. We highly recommend this place, whether for dinner or just a drink!

As a local in the area, I’ve come here almost a dozen times and the service is always great. Great vibes with very tasty bites and drinks. This place is truly a hidden gem in this area and the manager and staff are very friendly. There’s also a beautiful speakeasy bar in the back with delicious cocktails. Really cool place honestly.

The Canvas Bar is a great spot for drinks and food. I went with friends for Happy Hour and it was awesome! The chicken wings were delicious! Adrianna was our waitress. She was very friendly and professional. Giuseppe, the owner, was very welcoming and made us feel at home. For those that don’t know: there is a speakeasy in the back.

I can't believe I've never visited this place... Food is on point at resealable prices and cocktails are not watered down. Will def become a regular here especially when the games are on. Highly recommend the bbq wings, starter fries with parm and fetuchini Alfredo. Will def try smash burger when I come back.

Giuseppe is the sweetest manager I’ve ever met. The tuna tartar tacos & meatballs are amazing!! The aperol spritz, limoncello margarita, & Italian American smash are my top favorite. Definitely coming back!!
