T / T Cleat by Boaters Grill

By land or by sea this is a great place to eat drink or just take in the vibe! It is inside of Bill Bags State Park and on weekends they sometimes have live music! We always enjoy coming here!

This hidden gem is great if you're looking for an outdoor bar with great views. They have a live band that was so perfect for the setting. We ordered frozen piña coladas, that really hit the spot on a hot day. I look forward to visiting again and trying some of their food.

I came here for a post wedding ceremony celebration and it was a pleasant surprise! I've been to key biscayne many times and was not aware that this gem was here! The bar a short scenic walk from the parking lot and you can see the different boats docked on the way. The sunset views are incredible and there is a nice wind from the water. I saw that this was the best mojito in Miami, so I had to try! The bartenders were all very nice and attentive. The mojito was very tasty - not too sweet and very refreshing! Will definitely come back again soon.

Beautiful location and relaxing environment. I can't speak about the food as the kitchen had not opened yet on a Saturday at 2pm. The staff at the bar destroyed the first time visit. It's almost as if your presence is a bother to them. How dare you order a drink? Mind you, the ONLY people you interact with ARE the bartenders. The tall blonde bartender had her back to the counter and not once greeted, acknowledged or turned around. She carried on with her conversation with the other bartender as if she was off the clock and in a back room. The bartender that reluctantly assisted took our order because if he didn't then we would have been standing there like complete idiots. Oh, and the 18% gratuity is automatically sprinkled into your bill. Very much merited for such excellent service. I will never return.5 stars for the view and atmosphere. 0 stars for service.

After lunch at Boater's Grill, we took the short walk to The Cleat to hang out. We enjoyed cocktails and the beautiful views. The servers are great, super friendly and were always checking on us. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy the day.

The cleat is great for a view of the water and the sun going away after a long day having fun in Key Biscayne. But it's honestly just that. Don't go here expecting the bee's knees in food and drinks--but do expect that of the scenery that it provides you.My experience was haphazardly in the midst of a wedding celebration, so the bar was blasted with a crowd all awaiting to put in their cocktail order. The few bartenders they had did their best to get to all of us; it was commendable in their efforts to go through the crowd of wedding-goers, wet beach people, and everyone else. However, what was not commendable was the food. It's very overpriced for what it was. The ceviche was highly raved about, but at the end of the day, it's very lackluster ceviche that is pretty much just fish with a little zing--which is not wrong, but maybe I got too used to the amazing additions of hominy, sweet potato, and other accoutrements in my ceviche choices. The smoked fish dip was also sort of jus meh. Nothing really stands out as memorable in them aside from the fact that the crackers brought out with them were just... crackers. Crackers seemingly hodgepodged to make the dishes feel complete and appetizing. I mean, for the dip, it could have worked, but for the ceviche it felt off by a long shot.In the end, you should go here for the location and the location alone. I wish I could say that the food was filling and rewarding, but it was really neither. This spot feels like the afterparty for a nice evening out at Boaters Grill and there's nothing wrong with that. I might even just stick with Boaters Grill and just walk around The Cleat for a bit. In the end, know there are bars only a bit away that can get you that bar fulfillment and understand that The Cleat really won't do that for you.

The best place to catch the sunset! They have live music everyday! They also offer slushees (nonalcoholic too), craft beer, cocktails, and tapas. A bit on the pricey side but I'd say it's worth it to come back and kick it and enjoy this hidden oasis by the water!

Amazing view and atmosphere , specially with the live music on weekends and the awesome sunsets. Food and drinks need to do better as well as service. Last time I visited , we waited 30 minutes for a charcuterie board and our drinks weren't great. I hope this improves because they have a prime location.

Went here for drinks and views but the weather was not cooperating. This place was still very much a vibe. The bartender provided great service and delicious drinks. I also tried their smoked fish dip and it was yummy. I loved the openness of the bar and water view. They have live music also. I would definitely return them the weather is better and I recommend trying them out.

Ambiance 10/10Food & Drinks 3/10 Checked out this spot on a Friday at 5pm after seeing an IG reel about it (I'm easily influenced what can I say?). The Ambiance was great. Felt like I was on a mini vacation surrounded by water, boats, and the miami sunshine. Lots of shady spots and different types of seating. Kiddos, and dogs are welcome. My husband and I ordered a piña colada, an aperol Spris, fish dip, and guac - total was $70 with tip. This felt a little steep to us but "typical miami". Good thing we weren't too hungry. The drinks were okay at best, as was the guac. The fish dip was great but very very small. Is this spot worthy of the trip from the main land? Probably not ... but if you've spent some time hanging out at the state park and want to cap your day off with something different, I would stop by for a drink and skip the food.
