Oasis Tiki Bar & Grill: 2008-04-11

Homestead's laid-back Oasis Tiki Bar and Grill offers cheerful service, good food, drinks, pool table, TV's, small stage with some rain protection, dance area and well-lit parking. Ana and I enjoyed the live music and our sandwiches were awesome. We'll be back.

Update 2008-05-17: Oasis has a new phone number: 786-488-4406.

Update Tuesday, 2008-06-17: Some bands report that Oasis is again under new ownership and that all bookings are cancelled. I also heard that Oasis is temporarily closed.

Ana phoned Oasis at its new number on Friday evening. No one responded, so she left voice mail. It is now Tuesday morning -- her call has not been returned.

Update Friday, 2008-06-27: I belong to several band mailing lists. One recent email read, " . . . ownership at the Oasis has changed again. They didn't bother to tell us. We called to confirm that everything was a go, but found out they are doing Mexican music on Friday and Saturday nights. And charging to get in. Well last time I check we don't do any Mexican songs. So I guess that won't work. If you had plans on coming maybe you can take in a good movie . . . "

Update Thursday, 2008-07-03: Got an email, says that the old owners have become the new owners and that Oasis is again doing American music. Strictly Business will be playing tomorrow (July 4th) from 9 to 1.

Update Saturday, 2008-07-05: I paid a brief visit yesterday and was told that the "new owners" don't take over until Monday. I did see that the stage canopy is now twice as large with improved weather shielding.
 

Another view of Oasis. Behind the lit sign is the parking lot entrance.
 

If you miss the first sign, you might catch this one. It sits on a grass area that acts like an auxiliary parking lot which catches the overflow from the main lot.
 

The banner proclaims, "Under New Ownership."
 

View from the street of the Oasis parking lot. At the end, to the right, is a white van parked at the entrance to the Tiki Bar.
 

Opposite view of the Oasis lot.
 

Disabled access ramp to the main building. Just behind is the Oasis Tiki Bar. Behind the white van, to the right and over the entrance, note the log frame decorated with paint and carvings.
 

As I walked through the entrance, this bar was to my left.
 

View from the entrance as I looked straight ahead. The band stage is in the distance.
 

The stage. The colored lights belong to the band.
 

Facing the barely visible stage from Oasis's extreme left. Attractive landscaping borders a wooden fence.
 

This is inside the main building. A bar is at the far left. At the right, various doors lead to the kitchen, restrooms, and billiard table.
 

Top left: this sign was by the entrance. Top right: beautiful landscape detail to the left of the stage.
 

Closeup of the top of the log frame over the entrance. Very nice alligator and paint decoration.
