But that does not mean it will be going anywhere, for now. According to the buyer, Duffy’s Tavern will remain as a tenant for the immediate future.

“There are few iconic properties in Miami that have the location, appeal, name recognition and community support as Duffy’s Tavern,” said William H. “Bill” Kerdyk, Jr., President and CEO of Kerdyk Real Estate. “This is a tremendous investment opportunity with access to Miami-Dade County and Coral Gables neighborhoods.”

The tavern has been serving the community for nearly 70 years.

The sale of the site included the restaurant and an automotive building.

Martin Duffy first opened the business in 1955. The current owner/operators are Wayne Russell and James Fabbricatore.
