Baru Urbano
1001 S. Miami Ave. Miami, FL
(305) 381-5901
This spot used to be the only French restaurant in Mary Brickell Village, but it did not survive (go figure). It was soon replaced by Barú Urbano, a crowd pleasing bar/restaurant for the Latin food and music lovers of the area. Barú offers customers a stress free environment with two full liquor bars (inside and patio), friendly bartenders, valet service, and a very original urban décor.
From Wednesday to Saturday, DJ Lucas from Colombia mixes house music with Latin rhythms from 8 p.m. until 4 a.m. On Thursdays, local band “The Culture” plays an unplugged version of Top 40’s in both Spanish and English, mixed with Latin Rock and Pop songs that will make you want to clap and sing along. Some days they have special guests and events and every Wednesday is Ladies Night with prize giveaways. The kitchen opens till late, in case you want to grab a bite while enjoying the music.
What’s cool?: The urban décor with Spanish rock band posters on the walls, kitchen open until late, and perfect place to relax and start a conversation without the pretentious vibe of Brickell bars. Also, there is no cover.
Not so cool: This place is crowded most of the time, especially inside, but there is plenty of room in the patio area. Also, on busy days you might have to wait for your drink, but relax it is worth it.
