High Risk

The health department has logged five inspections at Bar One, the earliest from 2022. The newest entry in the record is dated Jun 16, 2023. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. Bar One's record stops at Jun 16, 2023, more than two years back, so current conditions may differ.

Things are looking better lately, with recent visits averaging around 15 violations compared to roughly 20 violations earlier on.

Across the inspection history, “no probe thermometer provided to measure temperature” is the issue that surfaces most often, recorded three times.

That's lower than the typical Miami Beach restaurant, which scores around 69. The pattern in the record is worth a careful look.
