50 Best Cocktail Bars near Aventura

“Food is very mediocre across the board. Sushi is Publix takeout style , Kungpow chicken is reheated and no flavor besides salt and lots of it. Fish is not prep well. Had to send it back. Wife had stomach issues after that chicken. Atmosphere is nice but don’t go for the food. That’s why the bar is packed and the tables are empty. Martini was very strong, not subtle. Overall 🤦‍♀️“

“Excellent Food and Service“

“From a Foodies perspective it was awesome. Service, food, atmosphere. A 10!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PANI Bistro Aventura – Where My Taste Buds Threw a Party 🎉🍽️

So, I walked into PANI Bistro Aventura thinking, “Okay, let’s see what you got.” Little did I know I was about to embark on a full-on flavor rollercoaster — and I’m not the type who rides those willingly. 🎢😳

First off, the vibe? Cozy but fancy enough to make me question if I should’ve worn a tux… or at least put on real pants. (Spoiler: I didn’t. I’m a rebel.) 🕺👖

Then came the food. Ohhh, the food. I ordered the [insert delicious dish here — feel free to customize], and when it arrived, my fork basically did a happy dance before I even took a bite. 💃🍴

One bite in, and my brain sent an emergency alert to my heart: “This is officially the best thing you’ve tasted all year.” 🚨❤️

The service was so friendly, I half-expected them to tuck me in with a bedtime story. Instead, they kept refilling my water and bringing the freshest bread like it was their life mission. Bread, you’ve got a fan here. 🍞🙌

By dessert time, I was practically ready to propose to the chef. No joke — I asked for the recipe, but apparently, it’s “top secret” or “sacred culinary magic.” Fine, I’ll settle for just coming back ASAP. 🍰✨

Final thoughts: If you want to impress your taste buds and confuse your stomach with happiness, PANI Bistro Aventura is the place. Five stars and a standing ovation from my belly. Bravo! 👏😂“

“They don't serve food here. Just drinks. And if you're in the mood for a drink and you like a rum runner, come get Sammie's rum runner. Not any other bartender. Sammie. The best rum runners we have had. Absolutely off the hook good.“

“Great location and awesome service. Our server was amazing and made my niece's birthday extra special! Server sang happy birthday and brought the tiramisu desert.... also taking note of a small detail shared in the beginning when he was taking our order (she loves the chocolate little balls in the tiramisu desert) and he brought extra little balls for her. So sweet! Thanks again.“

“My girlfriend and I had an amazing time, The bartender Victor was dope and the drinks were the best I've ever had definitely worth the price...it's like a omakase bar except your choosing what you want that and the combination of the smell of food coming from downstairs makes you feel like your somewhere else“

“The Carousel Club is a fun and beautiful way of enjoying the race track with friends and family.

The decor is so inviting with pink, purple, white, and turquoise flowers. The green space is dotted with tables and umbrellas. The massive tent offers the most relaxing and refreshing experience even on a Florida summer day.

Our server, Esther, was very attentive and helpful. Pascal, the manager made certain that our group had the best time and even brought out a special surprise for my son’s birthday.

Between the food, drinks, “Big Ass” fans, music, happy ambience, wonderful staff, variety of areas to watch the races, and the beautiful surroundings, our group thoroughly enjoyed the event.

I would definitely recommend planning a day or night at the Carousel Club. Very fun, unique, and gorgeous place.“

“We had dinner on the evening of December 24, great experience!
Very kind staff. Delicious food and generous portions (especially the Cuban dishes). Very good cocktails (the mojito was excellent!). All for a very reasonable price in Miami Beach. It’s a place that we recommend without hesitation!“

“My wife and I had such a great time dining at Neya Restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was lively, with fun music that added to the overall vibe. The service was spot on—fast, friendly, and super attentive. We'll definitely be coming back“

always takes great care of us! Friendly, attentive, and makes the best old fashion! Top notch service every time. Highly recommend the steak tacos and new steak flatbread!“

“I recently dined at Grand Central, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was warm, and the staff were attentive and professional. The food was outstanding, with each dish showcasing the chef’s creativity and skill. The lobster ravioli was especially delicious, with tender pasta and a rich, flavorful filling that balanced seafood freshness with a creamy sauce. Every bite was a delight, and I can’t wait to return for more. Highly recommended!“

“De los mejores, en sus preparaciones sientes todo el sabor y sazón de la comida peruana. Altamente recomendado!“

“Everything was outstanding! The food was epic, and the service was excellent. As Argentinians, we truly felt at home. The quality of the food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was spectacular. I personally had the milanesa with pasta, and it was amazing. We also shared appetizers of provoleta and chorizo, as well as desserts of flan with cream and pancakes with dulce de leche, which were absolutely sensational. A perfect 10!“

“The citadel is such a lovely place for gatherings.“

“We love dining here! Chill atmosphere, helpful/welcoming staff, excellent beverages and full-flavored food keep us coming back...plus, we love that you let us sit side-by-side at a 4-top in the back corner--perfect!! Thank you and see you all again real soon...ciao.“

“Kalypso Beach felt like a hidden gem in Miami Beach with a beautiful oceanfront setting, delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes, and excellent service. The vibrant atmosphere and refreshing cocktails make it a perfect spot for a relaxing meal by the pool. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors!“

“That’s an amazing restaurant, Argentinian meat. Very tasty.“

“Great specials for ladies night on drinks. Wings were great. Andrew took great care of us! Give them a try“

“We had the most amazing meal there. The staff were attentive and knew the menu - gave us suggestions of what to order . The bar tender made a wonderful sangria which to me was a plus. The food was prepared to perfection and beautifully plated. I would highly recommend this great find!“

“I’m leaving a review based off the new brunch menu they have on Sundays. First I’ll start with drinks, it was perfect. The balance of flavors they used to execute for their new brunch cocktails was 10/10. Second the food, we ordered the Sando chicken sandwich and the crab and avocado toast. Both were divine. I’ve been searching for the perfect fried chicken sandwich and this one hit all the right marks. The chicken was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of sauce coated on the chicken. One of my favorites, and the avocado and crab toast was so fresh and delicious. Our server Hannah was very sweet, and very attentive. Will definitely be back next Sunday for the brunch menu and that chicken sandwich. Thank you to the manager Gerald who was so kind and let us know about their brunch menu. This place is a must visit if you’re in Hollywood.“

“Great place to brunch and close to our house. Drinks are AMAZING and food is great.“

“In Miami, who knows how long a club will survive. I've been here four - five times in the past few months and each time is a vibe. I worry that they'll go the same route as other clubs (top 40/y100 DJs aka Blackbird) in order to capitalize further but in the mean time, they deserve all the business they get. Solid stage and sound system with a dedicated sound engineer.“

“Homeade bloody mary mix, need I say more?“

“We had an amazing dinner and dining experience on the rooftop. Delicious drinks, amazing food, and excellent service! Highly recommend.“

“I had an unforgettable dining experience at this fine restaurant! Our waiter was exceptional, providing attentive and friendly service that made us feel truly valued. The manager went above and beyond, ensuring that everything was perfect for our celebration, and their hospitality was nothing short of amazing. The service overall was spectacular, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. As for the food, it was simply superb—each dish was a delightful masterpiece that tantalized our taste buds. I couldn't have asked for a better evening!“

““ Went in around happy hour for girls night on Thursday, ordered a Mojito. It did not have any mint or enough alcohol. It seemed watered down. The bartender dicey that night seemed upset as we told our waiter we didn’t like the drinks. Felt super uncomfortable. They had a full bar only one person making drinks for the whole restaurant. Happy hour menu was great however, no complaints on the food at all. Flat bread & bang bang shrimp was out of this world. But the service and quality control was easily overlooked, 2 stars.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – CT Cantina & Taqueria (Dania Pointe, Dania Beach, FL)

I recently visited CT Cantina at Dania Pointe and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant and fun—the vibe and music on Friday night were energetic (a bit loud, but part of the lively ambiance). Service was spot-on: fast, attentive, and our drinks were refilled promptly without having to ask.

What stood out:

The salsa game is strong—super flavorful and authentic. The only downside: the bright red overhead lights made it impossible to distinguish which salsa was which, since they all looked red.

Fresh chips and multiple dips were a treat—though I found them slightly oily, they still had great crunch and taste.

Tacos were solid but had some quirks: the flour tortillas were surprisingly thick, and they shrunk in size compared to past visits. The chicken felt a touch too salty and a bit dry. Still, flavors were enjoyable overall.

On the downside, there was no dessert station anymore—apparently your favorite dessert has been removed. That was a bummer, especially since you used to love it.

Summary:
CT Cantina & Taqueria delivers great ambiance, helpful staff, fast service, and excellent salsas and chips. While the tortilla texture and smaller portions with slightly salty chicken dragged the experience down a bit—and losing the dessert option was disappointing—it’s still worth a visit. Hoping they bring back that dessert station soon!

Happy to return—even without the dessert, it's still a solid spot for casual Mexican with flair.“

“Great food, fun, and atmosphere. Excellent service don't miss a beat! 🩷“

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

“I’ve been going to the Bistro for many years and weather it’s a night in the barroom or having a delicious full course meal in the dining room 😎 Every time it’s been an Outstanding experience with Great service and the Most Delicious Food of many different kinds !!! 😁🫶 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸“

“Excellent place for a business meal or date. Everything was homemade & delicious. The duck ragu will knock your socks off! Nice wine list too.“

“Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. The food was amazing. We ordered filet mignon, chicken, and enchiladas. I was going elsewhere, saw this restaurant sign, and ended up trying it out. Im glad I did because this is a restaurant I am willing to come again just because the food was that amazing. The filet and chicken were sweet savory and melted in the mouth. Also, the guava cheesecake is made in house and was also on-point!“

“Absolutely incredible experience at this sushi restaurant! The service was top-notch - the staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel like royalty. The chic decor added to the ambiance, making it a perfect spot for a night out. But the real stars of the show were the dishes! The watermelon pork belly appetizer was OUT. OF. THIS. WORLD. And the truffle rainbow roll? Perfect in every way. 🍣👌 We'll definitely be back again to try more of their delicious offerings. If you're a sushi lover, add this place to your must-visit list! 5 stars isn't enough - I'd give it 10 stars if I could! P.s and i am that kind of person who never leaves reviews unless its something really amazing“

“This is a great new venue in a lush, tropical environment. It's an update on The Center for Subtropical Affairs, which was a little cooler, cheaper and more raw than Understory, but the new venue, to be honest, has better sound, drink options, and food options. It's just a dope spot, albeit a bit expensive, like most places in Miami.“

“Omg. A hidden gem, and everything is so fresh. The fish, crabs and all the goodies comes with perfect crunchy bread, and the sauces 🤗

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a ground level food hall. It has ramps all around and very wide corridors and spaces between tables and vendors. It’s also PET FRIENDLY which is the biggest plus.“

“Stopped in for a drink and Claudia mixed up a great skinny Margarita. Had fun chatting up some regulars playing table games at the bar. Will go back.“

“Amazing atmosphere with lots of choices for you to have for a night out. Love the set up and especially the bar open concept with the retractable doors. The wrap around porch with seating is perfect for those who want to have a quiet conversation outside. But with so much energy inside I am certain you will love all areas of this new food hall. I was fortunate to attend friends and family and can’t pick what was my favorite… high on the list is the ramen and boba tea but then again sushi was great, dessert waffle was great, chicken sandwich was great… fried rice was great… ok so all of the food we had was great!“

“My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience at Oki! I can't help but give it a glowing five-star review. We started with the Tokyo Mule cocktail, a delightful blend of fruity goodness with a kick of ginger spice that set the tone for a perfect evening.The appetizers were a true highlight. The deconstructed Tuna Tartare was a symphony of flavors and textures that left our taste buds dancing. The Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Street Corn Ribs were equally impressive, offering a delightful combination of crunch and savory goodness.Moving on to the main course, the Cornish Hen and Rib Eye Steak were nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was not only a treat for the palate but also a feast for the eyes. The presentation was impeccable, matching the outstanding taste.The ambiance at Oki is a blend of trendy New York club vibes with a touch of sophistication. What's truly commendable is that the music was at the perfect volume – creating a lively atmosphere without drowning out conversation.Oki has truly mastered the art of combining culinary excellence, impeccable presentation, and a stylish atmosphere. It's a dining experience that goes beyond just a meal – it's a memorable journey for the senses. Highly recommended!“

“Amazing food and staff, I highly recommend.“

“Fabulous food and drinks, matched by impeccable service!“

“Sehr fabelhafte Küche - Steak 🥩 und tolle Weine 🍷 Service sympathisch/ freundlich und kompetent Perfekter Service Come back 👍“
