Baru Urbano

The bartender gave me a straight bill without the breakdown of it, when I asked for it she got nervous, and i got overcharged by abou $ 35, when i complained they kicked me out, that’s their policy, they steal from people

Worst!!! Charges stuff you don’t consume and then refuses to remove it!!! Rude supervisor!!!

They will rob you if your drink too much, check you account they will not show your your check just charge you and present the check.

Food and drinks are okay but the service is horrible. During happy hour they tried to charge us full price for all drinks. They didn’t change the bill until we mentioned something. This happened on several of the checks in our group.

Horrible customer service … They told us one price and they billed us differently! Spoke to the manager and there’s was no integrity to satisfy customers concerns, very disappointing.

One night we were out bar hopping and Unilocaled what was around and came across Baru! We were excited to find one in this location considering that they closed the one in Brickell and we had so much fun there on our 2^nd date, thst we were bummed it closed. Anyhow, glad we came across this one, and once again we had a blast and will definately be back again. I love the music here and the atmosphere.

Attractive bartenders are the only thing going for this place. Drinks are extremely expensive and weak, so most people have to stick to beer. It’s too bad, as there are few other options in the area.

Beautiful people, appetizers were great, cocktails worth the $$. Went a Thursday night and the ambience was one of «good times» highly recommend if you want to hangout with friends.

Mal servicio. No hay organization. Precios excesivamente caro. En dos ocasiones me han cobrado tragos que no hemos consumido. Pagamos una mesa VIP y nos trataron muy mal. NO LO RECOMIENDO
Awful Service, extremely expensive. VIP table us not worth it. Waste of money

Meh. Went for a holiday party, band was good food was ok! Service wasn’t that great.

Music was good and the staff was great. The girl at the door was just ok, could have been friendlier. Down side is that they only take cash for cover… and no amex at all. Mediocre to low end place.

This place sucks, the dj always plays the same music and the band that plays on Fridays also sings the same songs. The A/​C is not turned on and you basically sweat just standing by the bar. Management spends more time dancing on stage than looking after the place, hopefully Baru Brickell will open soon.

This place is awful. It’s trashy, dirty, ridiculously hot, and they play the same bad salsa/​merengue all night long while throwing napkins and releasing white, theatrical fog at patrons. This is not a Vegas club; it’s a hole in the wall in Doral. The bartenders will overcharge you if you’re not careful and tip is included, which translates to unbelievably bad service most of the time. Don’t even get me started on the parking… good luck finding a spot. I’ve had bad experiences every time I’ve gone. Unfortunately, coworkers pick this place for happy hour more often than not, so I’ve been coerced into going to this hole more than once. This space would be better utilized as a lounge or bar, not a club. The bathrooms are absolutely disgusting. Overall, it’s a strange vibe and I’ll be avoiding it as much as possible.

This place is HORRIBLE! Service sucks! The waiter got lost on us numerous times. He never came back to ask if we needed drinks. The worse part 18% gratuity was included… I’m sorry my waiter didn’t deserve 18%.

Tried this place for the first time on a Saturday night. We arrived after 11:00 PM and were told that the cover fee was $ 20 for each (men and women) which could be used to consume items at the bar except for the tips and taxes which had to be paid in cash or credit, we agreed to it because it sounds somewhat reasonable.
After entering and spending more than 2 ½ hours at the place I found the music to be not varied enough. Most of it consisted of 30+ years old merengue and salsa mixed with contemporaneous regueton and techno. I am neither young nor old but considered the music very dated. Having taken recent salsa and bachata classes I was excited to try my moves and approached the DJ to request a bachata song to which he said «no» and denied by waiving his head from side to side.
I imagine they are targeting the Doral customers but I lived in Doral for over 12 years and consider the music of this place to be lacking a lot of what the intended audience of the area enjoys.
Needless to say I will not be returning.
EDITED: after posting I realized I did not mention other things. PARKING: plenty and free. RESTROOMS: WTH happened here?. SERVICE: it took a while to get the bartenders’ attention but afterwards they took their time to explain the bill and how the consumable tickets worked.

Good place! Nice music! Good People, the bar its excelent, drinks are great and food to, Im Happy !

My favorite place to party and have a great time with friends and family. Food is delicious and prices for alcoholic drinks are very accessible. Waitress and bartenders are very beautiful and enthusiastic.

Perfect to have fun! Great music, ambiance and drinks! Live music and Isabela great bartender! Free shots and the band is awesome too!!!

Was just at baru doral and the service is excellent! They welcome our party of 3 with drinks fast and the tequeños are veeeery good. And like that wasn’t enough they have chargers for your phone if your battery is low. Awesome!

*Disclaimer: I have worked as a waitress before– this is coming from someone with industry experience.
I came out for drinks with a few friends & they asked me to pick a place. Normally, I love coming to this location so I suggested it. I called before (since I was driving up here from Cutler Bay & my friends were driving from Mirimar) just to verified that they were open & to clarify the specials for the evening. I was told on the phone that the drink specials were 50% off on Tuesday-​the entire evening.
Met my friends in the patio area. Had a waitress that spoke not one word of English. She wasn’t familiar with the menu or any of the specials for the evening. Every time we asked a question about something on the menu she’d go back to the bar to ask someone. It also took a very long time to order since she also wasn’t too good with checking back at the table to see if we needed to order anything or if we enjoyed the food or drinks.
One of my friends received the wrong dish. She was so hungry by the time she received it, rather than sending it back, she ate it. My other friend didn’t receive an order of fries that she ordered to go with her entrée.
When we finally received the checks not only were the drinks listed at full price, but the tip was also included. When I asked about it the waitress said that happy hour ended at 8pm– contrary to what I was told on the phone when I called earlier. At that time, I had lost my patience to see whether this experience was going to get better when it clearly wasn’t. I asked for the manager. I wanted to see why I was given the wrong information over the phone about the drink specials.
After asking for the manager, rather than going to get the manager as requested, the waitress went back to the MICROS/​OpenTable station and started handling all her other checks first. I felt as if she put an upset PAYING customer at the bottom of her priority list.
We received the check at 10:15. We sat the table waiting for the waitress to come back for 30 minutes with the manager. We were finally able to speak with the manager at 10:45. It turns out that the manager was a guy airtight at the bar the whole time we were waiting. The manager, Leonardo, informed me that it was her first Tuesday working at three she wasn’t familiar with the specials that evening. He was able to assist us and put the discount on the tab so that– an hour later– we could finally close our checks & leave.
The whole experience was 2.5 hours of frustration. I’m not sure whether the responsibility should go to management for sending someone with lack of training to work with guests or the waitress for not making sure she knows the menu & specials well enough.
Unfortunately, this is the first bad experience I’ve had here. I always try to give waitstaff the benefit of the doubt but after this truly awful experience, I’ll be highly likely not to return. If you don’t want to be run around in circles or treated like this– I would advise you to avoid this place as well.

If you’re planning your next large-​group gathering, Baru Urbano should be at the VERY bottom of your choice list.
My coworkers and I (group of 20) had planned weeks in advance to hold our annual Christmas Party at this place; knowing full well how hectic the holidays are, and to be able to fully enjoy ourselves the night of the event. No amount of planning could have helped the unprofessional and chaotic manner this establishment handled itself and treated us.
Our table which was «reserved» was compromised by a smaller table of 2 situated in a tight corner next to us. This should have been a omen of things to come later in the evening.
The drinks are highly overpriced, and nothing to write home about, in terms of quality.
Appetizers were served haphazardly and whenever it was convenient for the kitchen, or so it seemed. Our dinner, which had been preselected by each person, was served 2 ½ hours after we asked to be served. Our waiters response to our gripe about waiting was, «es que son platos pesados» (translation: «I know you’re probably starving, but that’s not really my concern right now, have another exorbitantly priced drink»).
Some of us had to get back home to take care of small children which had been left in the care of others –not allowing for time to even have dinner. When dinner did arrive, there was no service of plates, cups, dinnerware, etc.
I was so upset, I couldn’t stand to eat, and sent my dish back to the kitchen as well as that of my date.
When I asked to speak to the manager on duty to express our dissatisfaction, his high level of indifference to our complaint further boiled me up.
Do I have anything positive to say about Baru??? hmmmm… oh yeah, the music was great… if you have aspirations of going deaf. This is not a sit-​down dinner type of place. I would not recommend this place EVER to anyone interested in just hanging out. Keep this place where it belongs, on your TO-DON’T LIST. All in all, a very disappointing experience.
