From the art-deco glamour of South Beach to the gritty, mural-covered streets of Wynwood, the city offers a drinking experience for every type of night owl.
Whether you are looking for a meticulously crafted cocktail, a cold beer with a view of the Atlantic, or a place to dance until sunrise, the Magic City delivers with relentless style. Choosing the right bar in Miami isn’t just about the alcohol; it is about the atmosphere, the crowd, and the story you want to tell when you wake up the next morning.

I had such a great experience at Rosa Sky thanks to Ramon!!!! 🩷🌙 He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we came to the bar. His recommendations were excellent, the drinks were amazing (porn star) and his positive attitude made our night even better. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about his guests. If you visit Rosa Sky, definitely ask for Ramon—you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for the outstanding service!!!! Gracias 🫶🏼
I’ve been to Rosa Sky several times for fashion shows hosted by Kate from Rose Habibi and always have an amazing experience. The atmosphere is beautiful, the views are incredible, and the overall vibe is perfect for a night out in Miami. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, and the drinks and food are consistently great. It’s such a fun rooftop spot, especially for events and shows. Definitely one of my favorite places to visit and I’ll keep coming back!
We had an amazing experience at Rosa Sky, Ramón was absolutely incredible and made our night even more special. Every cocktail he prepared was delicious, and you can tell he really knows what he’s doing. His service, attention to detail, and friendly personality were outstanding. I highly recommend this place, and when you visit Rosalía, make sure to ask for Ramón, you won’t regret it!
This was genuinely the best bar/restaurant experience I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was top tier, the view was incredible. No matter where you sit or stand, you are surrounded by shimmering city lights with great music. The entire staff was so kind and helpful, no one was rude at all. And the food was some of the best food we’ve ever tasted. It was worth every penny and we want to go back every time we come to Miami.
Reservations are required to book a table and there is a $50 minimum spend per person at the table. If you’re going for the bar only, there is no reservation required or minimum spend.
Kelvin - a person by the door. We made the reservation by mistake for tomorrow night, and we found out while we were in the elevator for going on the rooftop. (Too late) Kelvin did his magic work, and on top of that he put us on the VIP section and made our night INCREDIBLY.
IVANA (or IVANKA) - she was our waiter, she was super nice and kind, and super friendly with everything.
The MANAGER i think it was DAVID (idk his name but i do know that he was half Italian and half Irish) the guy was super friendly and nice, and he took a very good care for us. I felt like a family member from him.
100/10 - I’m suggesting this place. Its extremely beautiful, not super expensive, and very good atmosphere 😍😍♥️ (my first time in Miami, and first time at Rosa, but 100% mot the last time)
‼️‼️‼️‼️Who ever owns this place, the people that i mentioned take a good care of these people they are rare these days!!!

We had an amazing experience at Lola Bar thanks to Francis! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. Her recommendations were great, she checked in at the right times, and she made us feel genuinely welcomed. You can tell she truly cares about giving guests a great experience. Francis absolutely deserves all the appreciation for her hard work and positive energy. We’ll definitely be coming back!
My friends and I stumbled across this restaurant while visiting Bayside Market Place and decided to give it a try. Julieta P was our waitress and was amazing! She was informative and made great suggestions. The ribs were awesome, give this place a try and ask for Julieta P!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing experience at Lola Bar!
Lola Bar has a fantastic vibe, great drinks, and an all-around welcoming atmosphere. What truly made the experience stand out was Estefany service—she was absolutely excellent. Friendly, attentive, and professional, she made sure everything was perfect and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish.
If you’re looking for a great place to relax, enjoy quality drinks, and receive top-notch service, Lola Bar is a must—and ask for Estefany if you can! Highly recommended. 🍸✨
We arrived late and the kitchen was closed, they have some food available like pizza, nachos and burritos. The pizza was delicious, the burritos were ok and the nachos so bad. The beverage wasn’t good at all, we ordered margarita, piña colada.
Right on the Biscayne Boardwalk! Great spot to sit on the bar and be saved from the heat and humidity. Great cocktail and food. Will come here again. Highly recommended.

Sugar Rooftop offers a lively atmosphere in the heart of Brickell and is a great place to enjoy an evening with friends or a date night. The service is attentive, the cocktails are well-crafted, and the food is surprisingly good for a rooftop venue. The tropical setting and energetic crowd create a fun and enjoyable experience.
While Sugar is often considered one of the top rooftops in Miami, I personally found the view less impressive than expected. Although you can see parts of the Miami skyline, it lacks the breathtaking panoramic scenery that makes certain rooftops truly memorable. Compared to some of the iconic rooftop venues in New York City, the overall experience falls short, particularly when it comes to the view. Nevertheless, the excellent service, quality drinks, and vibrant atmosphere still make Sugar a worthwhile destination for a night out in Miami.
The ambiance was amazing! The earthy, sophisticated vibe combined with the beautiful downtown views and water truly sets this place apart. Corren was an exceptional server, attentive, knowledgeable, and personable throughout our visit. She offered excellent recommendations that enhanced our experience. From the atmosphere to the service, everything was top-notch. I look forward to returning!
We came to Sugar late at night and the view was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful and made for a perfect night out. We also had a few drinks and they were phenomenal well-crafted and delicious. It was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend visiting for the incredible views especially in the evening.
I had such a great experience — honestly one of those spots where the atmosphere alone makes you want to stay longer. The views were amazing, the music was just right, and the whole vibe felt upscale without being uncomfortable.
What really stood out, though, was the service—especially our waitress, Bojana. She was attentive without being overbearing, made great recommendations, and had a genuinely warm, welcoming energy that made the night even better. It’s rare to come across someone who balances professionalism with personality so well.
Definitely a place I’d come back to, and a big part of that is thanks to Bojana for making the experience feel effortless and enjoyable.
The entire evening was exceptional from start to finish. We had the pleasure of being served by Micheal, who was incredibly attentive, professional, and always seemed to anticipate exactly what our table needed without ever being intrusive. The staff as a whole delivered a truly five-star experience and made the rooftop dining atmosphere feel even more elevated and memorable.
Sugar exceeded expectations, and we would absolutely love to return for another unforgettable evening.

Jimmy was excellent and passionate about his work. His welcome was inviting and his service was exceptional. His knowledge of products and drinks showed his interest and pride he takes in his work. The atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. Very pretty decor and drinks! Well balanced cocktails and options for food which I did not try. Would highly recommend stopping in here.
The bartenders here are really great people. They make sure you’re having fun but staying safe at the same time. I had a great time and would definitely come back.
This bar is a fantastic place. The staff are incredible. They make great craft cocktails. They're friendly and fun to talk to. And super professional and attentive to the crowd!!! I especially like Jimmy, Yadir, Nicole, and Gable. All excellent choices of bartenders for your next visit!
Came on a Wednesday for ladies night. The drinks are so freaking adorbs, balanced, and a good price. The staff is super attentive and we're really nice. I wanted to buy some merch because I love flamingos, but unfortunately they didn't have any. However, they went out of their way and gave me two little tiny Flamingo statues which are so cute. I didn't have the food so I can't comment on that. The decor is really cute and the old school music and music videos are a nice touch as well. I hope this bar sticks around for a long time.
Amazing Vibe, Top Tier Service & Perfect Deep House Energy
Tipsy Flamingo in Miami is an absolute gem and easily one of my favorite spots in the city. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was on point with great energy, a stylish atmosphere, and deep house music that set the perfect mood all night. If you appreciate good music and a place that feels effortlessly cool, this is it.
A huge shoutout to David, who provided truly excellent service. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect without ever being overbearing. His professionalism paired with a great attitude made the experience even better and added to the overall welcoming feel of the place.
The music deserves special recognition. The deep house tracks were exactly my style, smooth, rhythmic, and immersive, creating an atmosphere where you can relax, vibe, and really enjoy the night. It is refreshing to find a spot in Miami that gets the music right.
Between the great service, the music I genuinely love, and the overall ambiance, Tipsy Flamingo delivers a standout experience. I will definitely be coming back, and if you are there, make sure David takes care of you, you will not be disappointed.

Blackbird has been an amazing stop in Miami always it’s a local fun bar that does more than just party. With comedy nights and fun times it has brought such a welcoming atmosphere our bartender Alexandra on ladies night on tuesdays is great! Check this place out!
We arrived to a LIT DJ set by a dude named Bailey. This dude was on FIRE!!!! Will definitely be back to see him DJ again!! Carlos was a rockstar of a bar back (at least I think he’s a bar back?! Whatever role he has - let me tell you- he was hustling!!!!! All the bartenders were hot and they mixed very nice drinks. I regret that I did not get their names. Jade originally took our order and she was a boss babe!! Get it girlllllll!!!!! Nima (I hope I spelled that right!) was the one who cashed us out at the end of the night and her kindness, and hospitality was a sweet finish to a stellar night!! Can’t wait to go back!!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the most fun late-night spots in Brickell.
Blackbird Ordinary has that perfect balance of laid-back bar energy and full Miami nightlife vibe. The music is great, the crowd is always lively, and the bartenders know how to make a solid drink.
The atmosphere feels like a classic neighborhood bar but with the energy of a real party once the night gets going. Whether you’re starting your night or ending it here, it’s the kind of place where you always end up staying longer than planned.
Drinks are reasonably priced for Brickell and the vibe is always welcoming.
If you’re looking for a fun night out in Miami, Blackbird is definitely worth stopping by.

I’d recommend the TOO LIT Tuesday for their free comedy shows! The vibe and decor is really nice- I was truly impressed. The comedians are pretty decent.
We stumbled upon Blackbird Ordinary because hubby was looking for a comedy show to check out after dinner. We found the comedy show on EventBrite and ended up here at Blackbird Ordinary. It's located in the heart of Brickell close to Brickell City Centre and next to Talkin' Tacos. I've passed it many times and never been before.
Our comedy show was at 9pm so we got there early and you enter a bar area with a small dance floor and DJ booth. The door guy told us to wait next to the doors by DJ booth. They opened the doors a little after 9pm and let us in.
There's this whole other room in the back with tons of seating, a stage and bar area. Some of the decor felt a bit outdated, but it was still a cool vibe nonetheless. The space is so big and has so much potential for improvement,
We snagged seating in the middle area. There were several cozy couples seating in front of the stage but 2nd row, we didn't want to get picked on the entire night. Lol.
The two main hosts of the comedy show looked like they worked at Blackbird Ordinary as they had staff jackets on. They were in our opinion, the FUNNIEST!!! Everyone also got free shots with their tickets. Nice bonus! Lemondrop shots!!! Whew, it's been a hot minute since I did shots. Ha.
After they started the show, they introduced several local or out of towner comedians and honestly, it was a good diverse crew of comedians. I wish we got a list of the comedians as I would like to check out their social media pages or follow them.
Overall, we had such a good time and laughed so hard our faces hurt. This comedy show was like a hidden gem. Glad we found them and would love to come back and check out other comedians.

We went for the happy hour on a Wednesday, which lasts until 8pm. The vibe was super chill and the bartenders were excellent. They made the drinks with care and paid just the right amount of attention to us.
Mama Tried is such a cool, underrated spot in Downtown Miami. It has the perfect mix of retro charm and modern bar vibes dim lights, great music, and a super relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stay for hours. The décor is fun and nostalgic, giving the place its own personality without feeling gimmicky. The drinks are affordable (which is rare in Miami!), well-made, and come out fast. The bartenders are friendly, the crowd is chill, and the whole place feels like that go-to bar you can always rely on for a good time without the Brickell chaos. Whether you want to dance, play some pool, or just hang out with friends, Mama Tried hits every single time. Definitely a must if you want a laid-back but lively night out.
Matt and Jared took very good care of me and my friends visitng from out of state. I felt very welcome and I will 100% be coming back and recommending it to my friends. Great staff, great service, great venue. Thank you so much Mama Tried.
Still one of my favorite bars in Downtown Miami. Good happy hour and the cocktails are amazing! They recently added new concoctions to the menu just in time for the busy holiday season. Make sure to check them out. Drinks are not watered down but always well-balanced and potent. My go-to is their Old Fashioned, of course, but I have a new favorite called Urban Cowboy. It's made with Maple Bacon Infused Maker's Mark, vanilla cinnamon syrup, bitters and cedar smoke. So good! I also recently tried the Red Flag made with Cazadores Blanco, lime, agave, strawberry-infused Aperol, and topped with bubbles. So refreshing and tasty.
You cant go wrong with any of their cocktails. The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF. It gets packed late at night, especially Friday and Saturday so get there at a decent hour so you grab a table or space by the bar. Will keep coming back!
We had such a great time here. The dj was playing old & current R n B hits and it was amazing to sing along while dancing the nite away.
Very clean, safe and secure establishment that had decent people!

First of all the vibe in this place is amazing! The decorations to the lighting, we had an amazing pizza the prosciutto pizza 10/10 the taste the freshness everything so good. Our drinks were also very tasty and made with love i had A passion fruit Moscow mule. No place better to spend a vibey Miami music week thank you to the amazing owner and Nahum who helped us in our recommendations.
The White Elephant was our favorite spot of our trip to Miami. From the minute we walked Jackie gave us a big smile and greeting, made me wonder if we met before cause it was like seeing an old friend. We sat at the bar to watch the mixologists make art, and man did they impress. Guelther was making great craft cocktails and each one uniquely presented. The service from both Guelther and Ramses was absolutely amazing and they also treated us like we were friends. I found service in Miami is usually pretty friendly but seems rushed, with these guys they were efficient, friendly and engaging. They treated everybody super respectfully and knew their menu well.
I’d highly recommend trying their pizza as well, hand crafted and thin crust that was absolutely delicious. The vibe in the bar is open, inviting and warm. I went with a buddy and we both said we had our spouses with us to enjoy the ambiance, cocktails and great staff.
If you’re local or just visiting don’t miss this gem!
Guelther was the BEST!!! He puts so much love into the elevated drinks and made our experience spectacular!! The drunk menu has so much depth and the prices are SO reasonable!! We didn’t have food.
Had an amazing experience at The White Elephant! The atmosphere was incredible, the cocktails were creative and perfectly crafted, and the music created the perfect vibe for a night out. Jackie provided exceptional service from start to finish—friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made us feel welcome. She had great recommendations and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. If you’re looking for a fun spot with great drinks and outstanding hospitality, ask for Jackie. We’ll definitely be back!
Great DJ, awesome cocktails, and a fun vibe. Tried the new Bored Vodka and really enjoyed it. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Wynwood! 🍸

Such a fantastic high end cocktail spot. They are welcoming and knowledgeable. Their cocktails are unique and tell a story. Also the bar itself is just gorgeous. It’s a must stop if you are in Miami!
Panamericano Bar exceeded our expectations. Aistis and TX were absolutely amazing—both were incredibly approachable, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They took the time to walk us through the menu, explain the cocktails, and share the vision behind the bar and its concept.
Their attention to detail and hospitality made the entire experience feel personal and memorable. It’s clear they care deeply about creating something special, and that passion comes through in every aspect of the experience. The cocktails were outstanding, the atmosphere was fantastic, and thanks to Aistis and TX, our visit was one we won’t forget. Highly recommend Panamericano Bar to anyone looking for a unique and exceptional cocktail experience.
I had a great experience at Panamericano Bar! The cocktails here are truly outstanding—well-balanced, creative, and beautifully presented. You can really tell the bartenders put a lot of thought and skill into each drink.
The atmosphere is also fantastic, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a night out. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates quality cocktails!
Hidden gem in the heart of Brickell!
This cute speakeasy-style spot was the perfect place to kick off my birthday weekend. From the handcrafted cocktails to the delicious food and cozy atmosphere, everything was on point. Great vibes, amazing service, and the kind of place you'll want to come back to again and again.
A perfect start to a weekend of celebrating!
Intimate and perfect service for this cute speakeasy that makes you feel right at home. Cocktails are unique but familiar but you can tell there is care and effort going into every drink. We love this for the neighborhood!! Being an ex NY you have this cool and sexy vibe.

Kim y Oriana the best
I had an amazing time, and a big part of that was thanks to you. Your professionalism, great attitude, and attention to every detail really elevated the entire experience. The drinks were not only delicious but clearly made with care and expertise.
You have a natural way of making guests feel comfortable and taken care of, which made the night even more enjoyable. It’s clear you take pride in what you do, and it truly shows. Looking forward to coming back again soon!
We had a great time at One K! The margaritas were delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, making it a great place to relax and enjoy drinks. The service was friendly, and we really enjoyed our visit. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!
Kim y Oriana
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible experience I had thanks to your bartending. From the moment I sat down, your energy, attentiveness, and genuine passion for what you do stood out immediately. You didn’t just make drinks—you created an atmosphere that felt welcoming, relaxed, and memorable.
Your knowledge of cocktails was impressive, and I really appreciated how you took the time to recommend something perfectly suited to my taste. Every drink was crafted with care and precision, and it truly showed. Beyond that, your ability to connect with guests, keep things lively without being overwhelming, and handle everything with professionalism made a huge difference.
It’s rare to come across someone who balances skill, personality, and hospitality so seamlessly. You turned a simple night out into something special, and that doesn’t go unnoticed. I’ll definitely be coming back—and recommending this place to others—largely because of you.
Thank you for an outstanding experience.
The manager at One K Miami is the best! We were quickly seated at a table and made sure we had the best drinks. The service was very personal and attentive. The DJ was amazing and the atmosphere was incredible. We had such a great experience and will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time at Pier 5! 🌴✨
What started as a simple lunch turned into one of our favorite experiences in Miami. The ceviche was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the hot dog was surprisingly delicious. The food exceeded our expectations, but what really made the visit special was the atmosphere.
There was live music during the afternoon that created the perfect relaxing waterfront vibe, and later a DJ took over, giving us a glimpse of how lively and fun the place becomes at night.
One of the highlights was taking the Miami Lady Tour during golden hour from the same area. Cruising past the celebrity mansions, admiring the beautiful Miami skyline, and watching the sunset over Biscayne Bay was absolutely unforgettable. The views were breathtaking and the whole experience felt like the perfect Miami postcard.
If you’re looking for great food, live music, amazing views, and an authentic Miami atmosphere, Pier 5 is definitely a must-visit. We would absolutely come back!
Came here recently when my mother was in town visiting and wanted to check out Bayside. Great spot near the water and the bar is huge with plenty of seats. Vinny took care of us and made us feel like a couple of regulars at our favorite bar.
Great cocktails and Vinny was able to suggest and easily mix drinks based on what we said we liked and flavors we were in the mood for. Also friendly and i noticed he was easily able to handle the number of guests at the bar.
I recommend checking out Vinny and Pier5 when you're in the area and looking for good vibes and great service.
They do not have a happy hour but the drinks were great and presentation was definitely there. Hookah was not as strong as I liked flavor wise but everyone was nice and friendly.
We stopped by the bar at Pier 5 while hanging out in the area before dinner. The bar is huge! Late afternoon during the week wasn’t crowded. Limited drink menu, decent selections available, heavy on rums and tequilas. Service was OK, drinks were OK, prices were high (they are everywhere around there)… the place was… well, OK. Nothing great or spectacular…
Jocelyn was the best server and we sat and had a great time for over three or four hours, she was most welcoming, helpful and polite, because of Jocelyn we would most definitely come again as new residents to Miami

We are tiki enthusiasts so we make a point to visit tiki bars wherever we go. This was our first visit to Kaona Room and it didn’t disappoint! When you step through the secret door it is like being instantly transported to a lush, dark, exotic tropical paradise with low key exotica music. Kaona is relaxing, sexy, and comfortable and a wonderful place to hang out with your love or a group of friends. Drinks were very well made and delivered with extra flair, especially certain drinks that are delivered with fire, thunder and lightning! The hostess and staff were fun, super friendly and accommodating and really made you feel that you’re a part of the Kaona Ohana. Tips: 1) Make sure that you have reservations. 2) Have a designated driver or a ride because the drinks pack a powerful punch and you will want to enjoy the evening to the fullest. 3) Check out the cool official mug by Mulder142 available for purchase. If we could we’d give Kaona Room TEN out of Five stars!
Amazing spot! The staff were super friendly and spoke multiple languages, making everyone feel welcome. The food was delicious, the gyozas were beautifully presented, and the cocktails were top notch too. Great vibe, great service. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal drinks from Billy! I’ve been to enough Tiki bars to know when it’s stunting or being honest about the craft, and Kaona is honest. Billy knows what he’s doing - one of the best Mai Tai and Pearl Diver cocktails I’ve ever had. Mateo guided through the menu and offered us the best selection of cocktails for our evening. Atmosphere is exceptional. This is a must if you’re a Tiki fan.
What a Hidden Gem!
Literally! If you're lost like me, you can find the entry to this Speakeasy either on the front of the restaurant there's a doorbell OR inside the Irish Pub by the bathroom there's a door into this place
VERY specialized drink. Tropical and VERY VERY strong! The ones with !!!! Had a 1 or 2 Limit per visit. And I can see why! I'll be taking other friends and people who visit Miami here!
Kaona is a small, fun, speakeasy style tiki bar. Great presentation on their drinks! Knowledgeable bartenders about tiki history. If I had one critique, it's that the drinks are a touch acidic. Mahalo, Matteo!

The Dead Flamingo has quickly risen to my top 5 Miami bars ever. It has a cool, unpretentious vibe with great service and a dive bar- like atmosphere BUT the perfection and craftsmanship of a boujee South Beach bar in every cocktail. Add to that, a large air-conditioned space where there is plenty of seating, most nights close at 3am and the patrons are just as cool as those cocktails. I highly recommend you celebrate a milestone there - I just celebrated my birthday with 25 of my closest friends on their Thursday karaoke night and it was just perfection. You’ll be seeing more of us soon - The Dead Flamingo! ❤️
Some places serve drinks, and some places create experiences this place does both. From the moment you walk in, you’re surrounded by eclectic details that give the bar its own personality. The music sets the perfect mood, the cocktails are crafted with care, and the staff makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The lone pool table isn’t just a game it’s a gathering spot that brings people together and adds to the charm. Warm, vibrant, and full of character, this is the kind of place you stumble upon once and keep coming back to.🍸🎱✨
Five stars all around! I live way too far from this place to be a regular… and yet somehow I always end up back here like it’s my second home.
The vibes? Immaculate. The drinks? Phenomenal. But honestly, it’s the people that make it.
Raul always makes me feel like I’ve been friends with him for years, Edu remembers my go-to drink, Chris brings this calm, cool energy that balances out my chaos perfectly, Max keeps things fun and unpredictable, and the rest of the staff just ties it all together like the glue of the whole operation.
I’ll drive the distance every time, no hesitation. If you’re thinking about going… just do it. You’ll get it after your first visit 🦩
Wow this place is such a vibe! I went there for my birthday celebration. I actually googled the best bars in Miami and this place popped up as new times 2026 bar of the year. So I had to check it out.Myself and everyone who came really had the best time. I had a really nice cocktail to start, many shots and a few beers. The prices were good. I definitely love the atmosphere. I haven’t had the food. I’m not sure if they even have food. The DJ played Music that I can relate to. I’m a big karaoke fan, but haven’t been there for that yet, but I plan on it. I’ve always been a fan of Tiki bars and was digging the decor of the place. Low-key chill vibes which I prefer to any club atmosphere. Some dancing and mingling. I could tell everyone there was having a great time as well.I really would like to catch a comedy show or live music one day. The staff was great as well. Highly recommend!
The owners, bartenders, and all other related staff at TDF are special people. They’re also masters at creating whatever atmosphere you need - any day you walk in - and lead by example in creating true community. They’re human, personable, profoundly funny, and care about their work and the lives and memories they impact. I met this entire group many moons ago under a different name (aka: the moniker-that-shall-not-be-named), and I continue to love seeing all their faces several years later. For Miami, they’re a welcome beacon. For me, they’re home.

Red phone booth has a cool atmosphere. It smells like cigars, the space looks great, and it definitely nails the speakeasy vibe.
That said, the “secret” entrance is mostly marketing at this point. The phone number as the access code doesn't work. It is gimmick. They just collect your phone number and personal info because you can simply walk up, and they’ll let you in anyway.
The cocktails were disappointing, especially for $20+ each. I ordered an Old Fashioned that was advertised as smoky- it wasn’t. It also tasted like it was made with bargain bourbon. At these prices, at least use something like Monkey Shoulder or another decent-quality spirit.
One thing that made me laugh: our server proudly explained that they don’t automatically add gratuity like many places in Miami. The way she said it made it sound like tipping was entirely optional. It wasn’t. The expectation for a generous tip was very much still there.
Nice ambiance, mediocre drinks, lots of hype. I’d come back for the room, not for the cocktails.
Love coming to Red Phone Booth and tonight was amazing as usual. The craft cocktails made by Natalia were absolutely delicious and innovative. I really appreciated the unique speakeasy atmosphere which made for a memorable evening with friends. Definitely planing to come back soon to try more of their drink menu (had Bocci Ball tonight which was A++)
So we tried entering the Red Phone Booth location in Nashville a few years ago and couldn't figure out how to get in. Called the Miami location today and was texted the password. This place is really neat inside, the service and cigar collection was great and I loved the margarita pizza. If you like to enjoy cigars the Red Phone Booth is awesome experience!
The Red Phone Booth in Brickell is honestly one of my favorite hidden gems. I’ve been a few times, not a member, just lucky enough to get invited, and I even celebrated my birthday there recently. It never disappoints.
The vibe is awesome: classy, cozy, and just the right amount of exclusive. It’s a cigar bar, so yes, you’ll leave smelling like smoke, but that’s part of the experience. The drinks, for the most part, are all one set price, clearly listed, and they’re really good. The bartenders are friendly, helpful, and know their stuff.
The food is great too. I always get the charcuterie board, and their pizza is surprisingly good for a place known for cocktails and cigars. The staff is super accommodating, and the new manager keeps everything running smoothly.
Whether you go alone, with friends, or on a date, it’s just a great place to unwind. The dress code is a nice touch since it keeps things looking put together. Five stars from me, every time.😊
I had a fantastic night at Red Phone Booth. Matty and Bridget were amazing mixologists. We really enjoyed the speakeasy feel and lounge atmosphere. The cigar lounge was comfortable and well‑ventilated.Great place for a private or corporate event. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to have a great drink and great service in Brickell. Seriously they make you feel like an old friend.

We wanted to try Astra because it is a rooftop restaurant and lounge with a nice view and offers Mediterranean food with an emphasis on Greek food. The teak wood bar is uncovered but they do offer the use of their umbrellas if it rains. The dining area is covered. You can lounge on overstuffed comfy sofas as you enjoy music nightly from a host of DJs and live bands and take in the 360-degree sweeping views of Wynwood and Miami. It is a really cool place and we will return.
As you take the elevator up and enter Astra, the bar is straight ahead and the dining area is on the right. The friendly hostess will guide you.
We already had dinner so we thought we would have a drink here and enjoy the rooftop experience. Our bartender was very nice and helpful. We each ordered the La Paloma, a Don Julio Blanco tequila with lime juice and soda. It was refreshing. They have a great selection of drinks and were happy to accommodate a drink to your specifications. We had a really good time there.
There is street parking. The entrance is located more to the back of the building. We chose a ride share to get there.
Came after work hours on a Monday for their Monday all day happy hour (which is only available at the Bar, not by the waiters). As I read in the reviews, I also had the experience of cold food (pasta and meatballs) delivered to my table.
My recommendation is to skip the food and just come here for the vibes & drinks and sit at the bar or at the high top bar tables facing the views. The experience got better when we sat at the bar and the bartender was very amicable and funny.
This place has great views of the Wynwood walls & city.
I’ve been to Astra several times, and I’m surprised I never left a review. The vibe here is always great, beautiful rooftop, cozy atmosphere, and very Instagram-worthy. One of the best surprises was finding out they have Happy Hour every day, including weekends, with cocktails for just $9, which is pretty rare in Miami.
The drinks were delicious, the music was good, and it’s a perfect spot to hang out with friends, watch a game, or enjoy the sunset. The only downside is the typical Wynwood parking situation, but this time we got lucky and found a spot easily.
Definitely a place I keep coming back to.
Beautiful rooftop spot in Wynwood! We sat outdoors and loved the city building views at night. The atmosphere is awesome. We had a group of 6, ordered the lobster pasta and the branzino (both really good), and the bill was right around $600. Great food, great vibes, and fair pricing for a prime Miami rooftop. Will be back!
Extremely frustrating experience. No wait to be seated. Place was almost empty but took forever to get attended and served. They only had 1 bring menu, literally "1" in hand and provided it almost am hr after arrived upon request. We weren't allows to sit in the booths bc they were for larger parties, however 3 seperate couples were permitted smh. The table and chair was horribly wobbly so they moved us mid meal to another wobly table smh. Very hot. Plenty of fans but all off. The food was almost all cold but the omelet was Devine. It saved the meal tbh and my rum drink was excellent though, just too small and full to the brim with ice so not a lot to drink for $18. Ww ordered a cheese appetizer (video attached) and another table got theirs quick, hot, and with a fire presentation. Ours arrived over 30 min later, hard on the top (not melted) and the bread was burned. Paid over $100 for a long, sad lunch. We missed all our other appointments for the day. The staff there was polite and they had 1 waitress for the whole venue apparently. Roof top was huge with Plenty of space and with a nice skyline view but they really need to work on the service.

Had an amazing experience at Barsecco! The food was absolutely delicious, and every drink we ordered was just as good. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and was definitely worth it.
A huge shoutout to Orlando, the manager, who made us feel so welcomed and made sure everything was perfect throughout our visit. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests and the overall experience.
Our waitress, Sarah, was also fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and always checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing.
Overall, the service, food, and drinks were all outstanding. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Barsecco to anyone looking for a great night out!
Standard food, nothing spectacular. Pitcher prices are for a carafe and I think that’s important to point out. Loved the atmosphere and vibe! Dj for Sunday brunch was good. His vibe was house music. Not packed, walked up and got a table. Would come back and maybe try another dish.
We came here for dinner and showed up to the best happy hour for tapas and drinks! The atmosphere is amazing, the music is awesome! We told the waitress we were celebrating 2 21st birthday and Boyana made it a show for the girls! Come here for sure
As a food and restaurant content creator with over 50k followers on TikTok, I was excited to visit & make a beautiful video review of this restaurant while in Miami with my significant other. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing from the moment we arrived.
When we entered during lunch service, a couple who came in after us was seated before us. While there may have been an explanation for this, it immediately gave us a negative first impression. Once seated, we were placed in a back area where our seating was obstructed by trees, despite there appearing to be other available seating options.
The food and drinks were decent, but the service significantly impacted our overall experience. Throughout our visit, we repeatedly had to ask multiple staff members for basic items such as straws, napkins, and condiments because our requests were not being addressed. It was also unclear who our assigned server was, making communication difficult.
The most frustrating part came when it was time to leave. We requested the check from three different staff members and never received it. Eventually, we had to walk to the front ourselves in order to pay and leave.
We came prepared to enjoy our afternoon, order multiple drinks, spend money, and support a local business. Unfortunately, the lack of attentiveness and organization made us feel unwelcome and overlooked. While the food and drinks were acceptable, customer service plays a major role in the dining experience, and this visit fell far below expectations.
FYI… if you aren’t of Spanish decent please visit another restaurant or bar.
Sadly, we will not be returning.
First time here, the music is great. The pizza is delicious. In drinks I recommend a lot the passion fruit margarita if you are a tequila person. The Dj set is nice. If I’m not wrong there is a Dj from Thursday to Sunday. And in weekends it’s good for a Latino vibes party a lot of reggaeton. 💃 🪩

Okay, the Gibson Room and I have a complicated history. I used to love this place, then it went through a phase where it felt like it was trying to be a fine dining restaurant — which, on Coral Way, never quite clicked for me. I quietly stopped going for a while. But a friend convinced me to give it another shot and honestly? Really glad I did.
It feels like it's back to what it does best — a laid-back cocktail bar with really solid food. The drinks were well-made, the burger was awesome, the chicken parm sando was legit, and I got a kick out of seeing Miami Slice pizza by the slice on the menu. Service was fantastic too — friendly, attentive, always checking in without hovering.
One honest piece of feedback: the prices are still a little steep for the neighborhood. This is Coral Way — a real, working-class Miami community — not South Beach or Brickell. Hard to be a regular here at these prices. Bring them down a notch and I think you'd have a packed house on a Tuesday. Either way, worth going back. Glad they found their lane again.
This was our first time visiting the Gibson Room after their joint venture with the Miami Slice team, and I must say, that all the good things you hear on how good it is, it is all true! We had an AMAZING experience. We sat at the bar, as there were no tables available, had cocktails, a couple of pepperoni pizza slices (you can never go wrong with it) and the cheese burger, super simple but yet so JUICY and FLAVORFUL, it is just PERFECTION! This is the perfect setting for any night of the week either with friends or a special someone 😉
We ended up here because we wanted a later dinner and almost everywhere was closed. Our waitress Salma was so nice and on top of everything. Burger was delish and so was the pizza. I did feel the projector took away from the vibes of the place but i’m sure other people appreciate having something to watch. Overall we will be returning and i can’t believe it took us so long to try it out. This place is the perfect date spot btw.
We had such a great experience here! We stopped by on a Saturday night for drinks and burgers, and everything was spot on. The service was outstanding, the burgers were juicy and full of flavor, and the music and lighting give the place a really cool speakeasy-style vibe. We expected something a bit fancier, but it’s actually relaxed and fun in the best way. Definitely a spot we’d come back to.
I wish I had known about this place during that cold front we had a few weeks ago because this is the perfect cold weather bar (but I'll definitely still be here over the summer too lol). Arrived late evening on a Saturday and I was able to get a seat at the bar no problem. The burger was delicious although it could've maybe used 10% less salt. Cocktails are so good that I had three of the same one. Highly recommend this place.

Gwen and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary and it was simply amazing! Vivianna was my personal concierge and she was outstanding! I couldn’t ask for anything better from her! Manuel was our waiter and definitely one of the best we’ve ever had in any type of dining experience! The DJ even dedicated a song to us. Every time we visit Miami, Giselle is a must! Highly recommend!
Came to Giselle for Miami Spice for the first time. My friends and I were taken care of by our amazing server, Bri. Let me tell you she gave a detailed run down of the menu and also gave her recommendations. And she DID NOT disappoint. Thanks to her I plan on coming back and asking for her because it was a great experience.
Food was amazing, service was outstanding. The attention to detail that the staff takes really takes it up a notch. Mahryahh was the absolute best! Came here for my husbands 30th and he could’ve have asked for a better experience. We’ve been to Miami many times and Giselle is now one for the books. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
My husband and I came here for dinner for our first night in Miami. Once the staff knew we were celebrating a birthday they made sure it was special! Overall dinner was expensive but I think it was well worth it! My favorite dish was the flaming sushi. I had would’ve been happy if I just ordered that.
From the moment we walked in, this place exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the food was absolutely phenomenal, and the service was truly what made this experience unforgettable.
Our server, Bri, was incredible. She has such a genuine, beautiful energy and made us feel so welcomed from the start. She took the time to walk us through the menu, answered every question with so much knowledge and enthusiasm, and gave us recommendations that absolutely blew us away. Every single dish she suggested was a 10/10 beautifully prepared, packed with flavor, and some of the best food we’ve had in a long time.
What really stood out was how attentive she was throughout our entire meal. She anticipated what we needed before we even had to ask, checked in at all the right times, and made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every interaction.
The entire staff was kind, welcoming, and committed to making sure everyone had an amazing experience, which created such a great atmosphere from beginning to end.
If you’re thinking about trying this restaurant, do yourself a favor and go. And if you have the chance, ask for Bri you’ll be in the best hands. She’ll guide you through the menu, help you choose the perfect dishes, and make your dining experience one you’ll be talking about long after you leave. We can’t wait to come back!

This is nice place to have a nice night out with a date of a group of friends. The ambience is low key romanticized and gives you a sense of fun but not too over the top feeling. They mainly play house music and serve hot pizza hand made. Is a 7 out of 10 for me. Service was great, our sever was nice and she came through with a birthday desert I ordered. Gave her a generous tip, busy place but she was on top of things. Would recommend!
We loved the Bohemian vibe here last night. The lighting was a soothing red which really added to the atmosphere. The beautiful antique furniture, lamps and other accessories were just right to put you in the mood for whatever. Boho is on the smaller side with a very intimate setting. Great for dates and singles. They have inside and outside dining. We sat outdoors among the trees and greenery with the rest of the crowd. I loved it. They have good IG photo ops there.
We had already eaten dinner and only went there to see the place and have a drink. My daughter and I both ordered Casamigos Reposados, which were very good. Our server was Dima, who was very attentive and friendly. We had a nice time and will stop by again in the future.
Such a beautiful hidden gem in Miami! The atmosphere at Boho is amazing intimate, stylish, and with such a fun speakeasy vibe. The drinks were great, the music was on point, and the whole experience felt unique. Definitely a place I’d recommend for a night out. I’ll definitely be coming back! ✨🥂
They'll scam you out here. Don't visit this spot. Since it's very slow for them and wynwood is taking a hit economically, the servers/bartenders will try to make money however they can.
Visited for the first time and took some friends from out of town. Atmosphere nice. Service was nice. I come to find that when we went to pay the bill, Ivan the Bartender said Tip was NOT INCLUDED, so of course we tipped.
After reviewing the website and check the day after, 20% tip is already included. Super distasteful and disrespectful to lie to a guests face, so they can make some money since it's slow. Unfortunately I will never support this establishment again or recommend.
This place brings the viiiiiibes. Come here for some fantastic dancing until the early hours of morning.
Cover is expensive, but once you’re in the drinks aren’t overpriced.
Free spirits will love this spot!

made it to Bar Kaiju and couldn’t have left more satisfied.
They deliver top-quality cocktails that are expertly crafted.
I had the Rodan, and it was incredibly smooth. I loved every sip. If you enjoy mezcal with a subtle kick of spice, this is the drink to order. And the lollipop on top? That was the icing on the cake.
My friend ordered the Yeti, which was delicious as well. It leaned a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was a beautifully balanced and well-executed cocktail.
I can’t wait for my next visit whether it’s for another Rodan or to work my way through the rest of the menu.
Very cool bar inspired by monsters ! This upstair bar located at the citadel is an awesome spot for great drinks !! Uniquely made and creatively named drink were delicious!! A good selection to choose and try, great service and a lovely atmosphere!
I’m not sure if he’s upper management, the owner, or simply just a phenomenal server who really cares for the business, but every time I come, the service is always welcoming, but there is one man in particular who always introduces the drinks to the person who orders them, telling the story, and ending his explanation with a nice “cheers”. He does this for each person. It’s very personable, and you can see that he cares about the drinks and the craft of such unique, worldly takes on cocktails. It’s a place I always recommend for a cozy, laidback vibe, but also one that still feels upscale. The only thing is that I wish they had different music than the food hall - the food hall’s music is pretty atrocious and doesn’t complement the otherwise sleek yet down to earth vibe of the bar. Cheers!
Joe was a very kind bartender! The atmosphere is cool and dim. Ian was also very welcoming as well as the others. I tried the Japan drink and it was so refreshing and delicious. The corndog was so yummy, too! Will definitely be coming back to try more cocktails. The drink was $18, but very much worth it! Thanks for the hospitality💙
When I use to live in Miami I would pass by the bar almost every weekend. This was my first time back after having a baby. It’s my favorite hang out spot and the drinks are A++. They also permanently added food recently in collaboration with Mattari Suru. The corn dog cheese pull was awesome and the sliders were small but packed full of flavor. I highly recommend the sliders! As far as the drink I got I don’t remember the name mainly because I always ask what to drink based on my preference rather then looking through the menu and the bartenders helped me choose the cucumber drink. Super refreshing, this place is not intimidating at all, the bartenders are hella welcoming and attentive. No other place like it!

Went to Miami Wynwood for my friend’s birthday and honestly the experience was perfect. The food was decent, not the best I’ve ever had, but everything else more than made up for it.
The people and atmosphere were absolutely amazing. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming and helpful. They offered us everything and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a huge dinner and basically ordered the entire menu, yet everything came out quickly, clean and nicely presented.
The music was on point and the energy was incredible. The whole place was straight vibes. The bottles, signs, decor and atmosphere were all immaculate. Definitely an amazing place to celebrate a birthday and I would 100% come back again just for the experience.
Had an awesome time here while visiting Miami! The food and drinks were on point. Atmosphere was awesome I loved that they had a live DJ. Waitress was also amazing & gave my bestfriend a nice birthday surprise at the end! Would definitely recommend this restaurant.
Definitely 5 stars.
Got there with our friends for a happy hour, cuz somebody advertised it on tiktok. Usually when you go to places like Motek or Cactus for the happy hour, they basically rip you off, because they give you half prices menu, but the portions are half the size too (if not smaller), so you dont really get to enjoy the deal of the "happy hour" menu.
With Mayami it was quite opposite.
Really affordable prices for the happy hour menu and the quality and the quantity of the items from the menu didnt dissapoint at all.
We ordered some oysters, different types of sushi, their $5 drinks and some bites.
Nice quality food, fast service and they had a DJ too. I recommend booking a table in advance.
Mayami is one of those spots that hits every note. The vibe, the food, the energy, the service all in perfect rhythm. Every bite tastes intentional with a balance that keeps you wanting more.
The cocktails are just as impressive, old fashion for the win always.
What really makes Mayami stand out is the ambiance. The music, the lighting, the décor. Everything works together to create a lively, upscale, unforgettable experience. Whether you’re celebrating, having a date night, or just treating yourself, Mayami makes the night feel special.
Highly recommend for anyone who loves great food, great energy, and a place that knows how to make a moment feel like a memory.
I want To say how great of an experience Myami was! From the time we checked into our reservations Saturday night, the girls in the front were so nice. The place has a very unique feel and look! Jesus was our server and boy was he amazing and really good to us! Constantly making sure everything was going well. Now the food….this food was sooooo good and tasted so fresh! The ribeye melts in your mouth! There’s also a photographer that comes around and takes pictures, and the frame them and offer them to you later. But the pictures are actually beautiful! Love this place will be back. Thank you for being so good to us Jesus!
Tips for Navigating Miami’s Bar Scene
Knowing where to go is only half the battle; understanding how to navigate Miami’s unique social landscape will make or break your evening. The city operates on a different clock and a different set of rules compared to the rest of the country. From dress codes to timing, a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring you get past the doorman and have the best possible time.
1). Dress to Impress (Especially in Brickell and South Beach)
Miami is a city that values aesthetics, and many high-end bars enforce a strict “upscale casual” dress code. For men, this usually means closed-toe shoes, collared shirts, and no athletic wear or baggy jeans.
Women often opt for heels and cocktail attire, particularly if you plan to visit a rooftop lounge or a club-like atmosphere later in the night. If you are heading to Wynwood or Little Havana, you can relax a bit, but avoid looking like you just left the gym.
2). Plan Your Transportation Ahead of Time
Parking in popular areas like South Beach and Brickell can be a nightmare and is often incredibly expensive. Ride-sharing apps are the most convenient option, but surge pricing can hit hard during closing hours.
If you are bar-hopping within a specific district, consider using the free trolley services in Miami Beach or renting a Citi Bike. Never drink and drive; the police presence is heavy, especially on the causeways.
3). Understand the Timing
Miami is a late-night city, but the “sweet spot” for arrival varies. If you want a relaxed cocktail, arrive early (between 6 PM and 8 PM) to secure a seat and avoid the rush.
However, if you are looking for a high-energy party atmosphere, do not show up before 11 PM; many venues are empty before this time. Dinner service often runs late, so the bar crowd usually peaks between midnight and 1 AM.
4). Make Reservations and Guest List Moves
Spontaneity is great, but it often leads to waiting in long lines. For popular rooftop bars and speakeasies, always check if they accept reservations via their website or platforms like OpenTable.
If you are heading to a venue that doubles as a lounge or club, look for a promoter on social media to put you on the guest list. This is often free and can save you both the cover charge and a significant wait time.
5). Hydrate and Pace Yourself
The Miami heat and humidity are relentless, even at night, and they amplify the effects of alcohol. If you are drinking outdoors or dancing, you will dehydrate much faster than you would in a cooler climate.
Alternate every alcoholic beverage with a glass of water. It might feel unnecessary at the start of the night, but it is the only way to survive a long Miami evening and actually enjoy your next day at the beach.
Miami’s bar scene is as dynamic and colorful as the city itself, offering a perfect blend of luxury, culture, and unapologetic fun. Whether you are sipping a craft cocktail in a hidden garden or dancing on a rooftop under the stars, the energy of the 305 is infectious. Use this guide as your starting point, but don’t be afraid to wander—sometimes the best nights happen when you stumble upon a place you never planned to visit.
As the city continues to grow and evolve, so too does its cocktail culture. Check back often, as the landscape of late-night venues is always changing. For now, pick a spot from the list, call your friends, and get ready to experience the vibrant pulse of Miami after dark.
