Churchill's Pub

Churchills was always my favorite dive bar/ music venue/ hole in the wall. Churchills was a staple in the south Florida punk rock community and it’s so sad that it is not there anymore because of greedy developers. I had seen so many bands play here over the years. It really was nothing great to a lot of people in South Florida but to a small many, this place was and will always be special.

Great place to see a show, but if you have a band thats going to perform there and actually want to get seen by the crowd that's there to listen to live music, make sure that the promoter you are talking to for the place understands that they're not to even waste your time unless they're going to be providing either the indoors floor or stage for you to play. They have an outdoor stage but this is South Florida were talking about, so unless they get some type of retractable covering for the weather, half the time playing Outdoors means that you're playing in the back closet! Which is still some exposure but far from ideal. Now if you're somebody that just wants to go check out some good local music, I highly recommend it.

I love this place. The food is available, the drinks plentiful, and the people watching enjoyable. I love it when the bartenders kick out under-ages on Friday nights. You gotta wait your turn just like the rest of us honey! The only thing I would change about this place is the frequency that the fireplace is lit. It should be on every night in my opinion and it isn't.

The place has slowly been improving over the years. It's certainly better now than it was years ago. Some shows are no-smoking inside but it's hard to know which ones that may be. Honestly wish they would make it permanent, as I have many friends that don't want to go there due to the smoking inside on many shows. They have plenty of space in the patio for smokers, I don't see how this isn't a good idea. The bathrooms (at least one of them) look much better, other one seems they've kept it in it's "original" state lol. Beer prices are ok. I think the sound system could be much better. I feel like the place could really focus on upgrading its sound and lights. Despite all these I still give this place 4 stars cause of its charm. Any other place would get 3 stars.

These pics by Javier Caso took place two years ago in this emblematic place with Porno Para Ricardo Cuban punk band performing for the very firs time. I really enjoy playing music here and the public was really good. Miss the place with so much nostalgia. I also was told many important rock and roll figures pass by several times. Love the name too.
