Case study · #1 sports bar in South Beach

Mickey Burkes sports bar

Mickey Burkes is the most popular local South Beach sports bar and cocktail lounge, and it is everything VICE SEO does, for one client. We designed and built the custom React website, engineered a custom rewards system with a management dashboard that connects to their Toast point of sale, and we run the local SEO and the social media marketing with full content creation: videos, photos, and everything in between.

The brief

What the client needed.

Mickey Burkes had the crowd, the games, the live music, and the menu. What it did not have was a digital presence that could keep up: a website that shows the atmosphere, a way to reward regulars, and a steady voice on search and social.

So we built all three as one system. The website is the front door. Behind it sits custom software: a rewards program where members earn and redeem at the bar, and a management dashboard the staff run themselves, connected to the Toast point of sale the bar already uses. Local SEO and daily content bring new people to that front door.

The rewards dashboard sits behind a staff login, so it is described here rather than shown. Everything pictured on this page is the public website.

What we built

  • Custom React JS website
  • Custom rewards system: members earn and redeem at the bar
  • Management dashboard the staff run themselves
  • Toast API integration
  • Local SEO for South Beach and Miami Beach searches
  • Complete social media management
  • Full content creation pipeline
  • Live entertainment platform: music, DJs, and game day schedules

From brief to breakthrough

  1. The challenge

    A popular South Beach sports bar needed a modern digital presence that could handle their growing customer base, integrate with their Toast POS system, and showcase their vibrant atmosphere, live entertainment, and extensive menu.

  2. Our solution

    We built a custom React JS website, then engineered a custom rewards system with a management dashboard and Toast integration behind it. Around that we run the local SEO, comprehensive social media management, and a full content creation pipeline, with dynamic menu displays, event calendars, and social media content made at the bar.

  3. The results

    Mickey Burkes became the #1 most popular local South Beach sports bar, with a 24/7 social media presence, more customer engagement through the reward system, and a strong digital brand that drives consistent foot traffic.
