Upper Eastside Garden

I went there a while back for a friend of mine’s kid’s birthday and it was just perfect. Adults and kids alike were able to be entertained with the mini golf or lounging around the patio. My friend had ordered a whole bunch of pizzas from Mario’s down the street and served drinks in the tiki bar set up. It felt like a private house setting with all the special character, right in the upper eastside, easy to park area. Loved it and would definitely recommend to rent it for parties or events (although I didn’t get the insider’s word for the prices…)

What can I say… I like it so much I got married here. You can’t get better press than that. Peter is great and very accommodating. Artists mini golf is cool.

Rode bike on Saturday over to the street festival they had, I love this place. Before they use to have film night, and it was BYOB. But I think they stopped hosting those. It is still a good spot to come and hang out, they have little nooks you can explore. Of course the mini golf is always fun.

Small but so cute!
I stopped by here this weekend for Style Miami.
The place was so cute, complete with a bbq that could double as a modern art piece, a bar, and a mini-​golf course. I just kept thinking that this is definitely a cute first date place.
I’m looking forward to coming back on a «normal» night.

We went last night to see a band. The band/​free liquor was good, as a band and free liquor tend to be.
As for the garden, I could have used some more trees/​plants/​grass, etc. It was nice and I’m glad it’s there, but GIMME MO. They have mini-​golf too. I didn’t play. That shit was covered with tweens.

I think its a great idea. The website needs to a makeover. I grew up Down the street N. Bay Village. Some promo’s viral might help get the word. Out. I like the Local Feel with Flavor. The website needs a makeover to provide more information. Seems like a JUN-​IQUE– concept wilL write RE-​REVIEW after this weekend.

The Upper Eastside Garden provides for a fun and unique way to spend an evening or part of an evening out with friends.
Check out their website for listed events. They often have bands playing, bbq’s, outdoor movie screenings, and they have this cool little miniature golf course set up in the back. Your’s truly scored 2 Hole In One’s! Yep yep! When I am on, I AM ON! :)
Most nights when they have events, they have cool drink specials too. One time I went, they had All You Can drink Grolsch Lager.
The garden attracts a few mosquitoes, but generally it’s not a problem. They even have free repellent available to all the patrons.

What a cool place! Some friends, my wife and I went for the first time. We enjoyed just sitting at a table and listening to band. It did help that the weather was perfect (Outdoor venues can get a bit warm in the summer). The bar reminded me of a college party including the drink prices. The band that played started the evening behind the bar. This is by far one of the coolest spots I have been to in a long time. Oh they have mini golf, but we will play a few holes next time.

The Upper Eastside Garden is, in a word, awesome! It’s an outdoor garden, music & movie venue, and mini golf (a/​k/​a putt-​putt) course all in one. It’s got an outdoor bar, and a recently opened lounge — The G Lounge — upstairs.
I was here to play some mini golf, and it was sooo much fun! The course is called the «Back 9,» and as you can tell from the name, it’s only 9 holes (10 – 18). All the obstacles on the course of works of art from local artists, so it’s really an art show combined with a game of competitive putt-​putt. Mini golf is $ 5, and includes a Grolsch beer, and liberal use of their bug spray (which is a necessity in this summer swelter).
The upstairs G Lounge, from what I could tell, only opened recently. And they recently started their «Chicken N Porn» Fridays. The porn wasn’t really porn, but rather cheesy 1950s-​era «adult» movies — no nudity, no sex, but humorous nonetheless. I didn’t see any chicken, but the other food at the G Lounge was awesome. The best dish that we ordered, by far, was the proscuitto & summer peach tapas. The peach was warm and full of delicious juicyness. We asked where they got their peaches, and were told that they «made them.» Now, we were all a little tipsy at this point, so we have no idea if they were putting us on, but decided not to press the matter further. The mediterranean platter and the goat cheese balls were also delicious.
I will definitely be back to the UEG, but maybe put the mini golf off till it starts to cool off. Also, it’s a great place to have events — so if your office (or you yourself) is looking for a place to throw a party — check it out! And Peter (the owner) is awesome, and will do everything he can to make sure you have a great time!

Wow!
Well, I happened to find this place on the Miami New Times events page on their website as a last minute Valentine’s idea. My boyfriend was cool to the idea so we went.
What a neat little spot! (I am going to be posting pictures of it on my page.) The scene seems very indie, urban and hip!
The ambiance is cool, it has x-​mas style lights all around it and a gravel path leading you to the front. Being that it is a botanical garden, the foliage is lovely, tropical plants abound. There is a pop corn stand and a movie screen, which has blankets and these round table/​seat things instead of your normal chairs.
There is what seemed to me to be a little bar area, however, there is no bartender per say. Our plan of the night was not to watch their weekly film (Every Thursday at 8 p.m.), rather to play miniature golf.
The golf was only $ 5 per person, and we were told we had unlimited games for that nominal fee. Yay! The little 9 hole course is very small but quite unique. It is designed by artists, and each hole is a work of art. We really had fun! It felt like I was 10 all over again. :) There are benches to sit while you play, and the art is actually unique and interesting. What a fabulous idea!
Some perks: we each received a cup of popcorn upon arrival. Then we each were given these really yummy pomegranate liquor and sprite drinks. All in all, the experience was quite enjoyable and I look forward to going back!
Classy little place in the middle of Biscayne’s renovations! I recommend to anyone trying to do something new and out of your normal scene. :)

how to describe the ueg??? hmm… well, it’s a garden (duh!). but it’s also a mini golf course, music venue, event location, and an art house theater.
i know… strange. but it works. i was worried i was gonna max out the categories section of Unilocal!ha. anyways, the upper eastside garden is a little quirky retreat right on busy biscayne.
the mini golf is not your standard mini golf. it’s the «back 9 put put» and it’s actually designed by (local) artists and looks more like a sculpture park. the hours are: thursday & friday 5 pm — 10 pm… saturday & sunday 12 pm — 6 pm oh, and there’s a $ 5 suggested donation including a free drink. and play is unlimited kiddies! so golf till your heart’s content.
and on thursdays the ued opens at 5 pm for Janus Films Night. the show starts at 8 pm. and tickets are $ 7 a person. the ticket price includes picnic mats, a bag of popcorn & a drink. if you ask me that’s waaaay better than going to lincoln road or the grove and spending $ 50 on tickets and popcorn. you can also bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, etc. they play mostly art house, though i just checked the schedule and the have a ton of 80s movies coming up.
you can rent the space for events & you can even purchase plants. what a cool f-​ing place!
