Someone once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." We agree with Bueller and apparently so does Eater Miami. Mac's Club Deuce is in good company when it comes to dive bars in Miami, so when it looks like we'll lose one, we all notice. We'll raise a glass for Scotty's Landing and hope you'll join us.

Dave Hoeksta from the Chicago Sun-Times reminisces about a recent visit to Mac's Club Deuce while in town for a Cubs-Marlins game. It wasn't his first time at The Deuce and hopefully not his last. Dave tells the story of John Hughes introducing him to Mac's when he (John) lived here, writing for the old Miami News. Dave uses the phrase smoke and mirrors and for many that's a literal description. We have a feeling it means a little more coming from Dave.
