Club Deuce was used in Hard Knocks (interior and exterior), Honor among Thieves (exterior) and Freefall (interior).

^ That bar should be designated as an historical site..it's awesome! Why oh why do all these wonderful old buildings have to go....it's just so wrong.

Tobacco Road was also used in Vice and can be seen as exterior in episode "Bad Timing". The area around was used as neighborhood of the Bar where Sonny met Cathleen. After the con attack on the street cops there is a scene with Castillo, Tubbs and Switek with Tobacco Road in the background.

Thanks, Tom for that info. I'll have to pay closer attention when I next watch Bad Timing. I know Mac's Club Deuce was used for an MV wrap party and if I'm not mistaken, Switek was seen in there in an ep where he is drinking heavily...Hard Knocks. And learned it opened in 1926. Found this review online: Mac's Club Deuce ("The Deuce") by Joseph Brown / Updated: December 12, 2011 Club Deuce Club Deuce had its fifteen minutes of fame back in the 1980s when it was selected by Miami Vice set designers for location shooting. Seems they needed a rough-and-tumble beer joint on South Beach for Don Johnson and company to bust-up during one of their episodes (Hard Knocks, 1989). The Deuce fit the bill quite nicely, since it was obviously one of those places where preppies dare not tread. If you're looking for a place to cry in your beer and lament the woman who done you wrong while CCR blares away on the jukebox, this is it. But remember, if you walk in the door with a chip on your shoulder, you best have your Blue Cross/Blue Shield paid up.

I do need to get to these bars before they are history.

I need to get down there to both Tobacco Road and Mac's Club Deuce, the latter I think was used in some Vice eps? Interesting article on Tobacco Road in Wikipedia: Tobacco Road (bar)From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, searchThe Tobacco Road in May 2008The Tobacco Road is a bar in downtown Miami, Florida, United States. It is the oldest bar in the city. It opened in November 1912, is still in business,[1] and has operated nearly continuously since opening, having been shut down briefly at times for run-ins with the law, such as when the upstairs, now a live music venue, was used as a speakeasy during Prohibition. Tobacco Road is located at 626 South Miami Avenue, on the south side of the Miami River, putting it in Miami's Brickell district, where it may be classified as a classic dive bar, being popular among locals. Tobacco Road and the surrounding historic buildings were potentially going to be demolished for the construction of Brickell CitiCenter, which is scheduled to begin construction in early 2012, but they will not be, as Swire did not purchase the lots. Tobacco Road will celebrate its 100th anniversary in November 2012. However, in April 2012, an unrelated investor purchased the large riverfront lot which includes Tobacco Road, though it has been stated that Tobacco Road has a three year lease and will remain open for at least that long before the lot is developed.[2] The Eighth Street and Fifth Street Metromover stations, as well as the Brickell Metrorail station, are located nearby.

Ya that place was one of the last stands of Country/Western type music in Miami-Dade County. I would be willing to bet there are no more like it with that type of Music. It's all changed, even Duffy's Tavern on Red Road is different. Fortunately Mac's Club Deuce Bar on the Beach and Tobacco Road (no frills, neighborhood type, working man's bars) still exist but Tobacco Road's days are numbered.

Thanks! Very cool. He's an interesting character, apparently, and more into photography than bar owning. Nice shots of the bar toward the end and seems like a small dive bar of the type I liked to frequent. Would have been great to have seen that place, as Jim was lucky enough to drop in there back in the hey days. But I did have trouble with the video...it kept replaying the 80s bikini babes.

I'm watching it right now. It's an obvious highlight for the season. Gina's acting is fine, I can't believe someone criticized that, she can only do what she has to work with and the writers never gave her much. The episode is a classic, direction by Mario Di Leo (who also did Good Collar) is sleek and solid, and the supporting cast is phenomenal, particularly Walter Gotell and Jeff Fahey. Opening teaser is great, ripped from the headlines story is intriguing, also the Scotland Yard guy is another clever bad cop/antagonist thrown in the mix. Music is top notch, particularly Hammer's score, he comes up with two brand new themes, the celtic bagpipe-sounding one and the rush to the airport cue both of which are never heard again. Patti Labelle's song was good in the context of the usage of the episode (also note the lovely instrumental version used during the beach walk scene - my avatar). The dialogue is crisp and on target, and the lighting and production values are high, so good in fact the rest of season 3 would never look as good in my opinion. Episode moves really fast and leaves the first two seasons in the dust. It's just a shame that the rest of season three couldn't hold up to this high water mark. I deeply feel that El Viejo should have been the opener, but this was the next best thing.

Brian King was the owner of Gator Kicks and was a famous photographer in Miami, he wrote and played in the band Gator Kicks. http://youtu.be/XYq7GCLlhF4 just a little over half through the video you should see a news report about Gator Kicks. The beginning is more about Mr. King and his photography business.
