Mac's makes the It List

Wood at Condé Nast Traveler said Mac's Club Deuce " is absolutely a contender for America's Greatest Dive Bar" than to announce we made the It List? Jennifer hits all the boxes in her review, making sure that her gentle readers know what they're in for; smoky, laid back, 2-4-1 happy hour, friendly crowd, and efficient bartenders; a place right out of a Bukowski novel.

As seen in Condé Nast Traveler?
Leave it to Miami native Paul Rubio to make sure Mac's Club Deuce is mentioned in an article In Condé Nast Traveler! While true Deucers know Mac's belongs in such revered publications like Zaget and CNT, we never thought we'd see the day. In his latest piece, Why There's Never Been a Better Time to Visit Miami–a compilation of work from numerous writers–Paul takes readers on an after sundown tour of Miami. So, thanks Paul, we agree, we "irresistibly lo-fi".

When the Scoundrels Find You
Sure, their not the first scoundrels to find their way to Mac's Club Deuce, but the might be the nicest. Scoundrel's Field Guide added The Deuce to their long list of notable dive bars around the country. Oh, and like a true Scoundrel, the not so fine print tells us they've never had the good fortune to visit The Deuce. A Sunny Place for Shady People. No notes.

What's not to love
Surprised that we even have a phone, Time Out Miami gave Mac's Club Deuce a four star review, just in time for spring break. It seems our "all are welcome" philosophy is appreciated at TO Miami. We're not sure what's not to love about our "charming out of character" bar, maybe if we ditch the phone we'll get that fifth star.

Club Deuce = Moe's Tavern?
While covering Miami Beach's 100th Anniversary for N by Norwegian–the airline's in flight magazine–, writer Toby Skinner and photographer Tim E White stopped into The Deuce to sit down with our beloved owner Mac Klein who also turned 100 this year. Although Toby deemed Mac's Club Deuce = Moe's Tavern from the Simpsons; we would argue the similarities end a The Deuce being a dive that locals love. We may be gritty, but our bar is clean and our floor isn't sticky, and our local

Smoke and mirrors
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.
