50 Best Cocktail Bars near Aventura

“From the moment we walked in to the end the experience was outstanding. Stephan and his team were excellent. The food was absolutely delicious and our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. Stephan was as usual an excellent host and thank you for the dessert. We will see you soon.“

“Excellent Food and Service“

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

“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.“

“Our waiter, Philippe was the ultimate server. If there was a model for all other waiters and waitresses to follow he would be it! He went above and beyond and engaged us with his positivity. Have to hand it to Chef Azireal TalleyHall for coming to our table to speak with our friend who had a food allergy. He also personally made the Butter cake, which was delicious! Nice touch!“

“Wow. This is perhaps the best bar I’ve ever been to. I’m a cocktail bar aficionado — drinking more cocktails in one sitting than you could believe — but the service attention to detail and overall experience was amazing. Ditch Miami Beach and come to Kaiju. Truly a singular experience if you love cocktails and respect what goes into service.“

“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!“

“Our experience was beyond outstanding. We were in town for a conference and we walked from hotel and it looked particularly inviting. Oh boy, did we luck out. The welcome from the beautiful hostess and then the servers were fantastic. Then came the food. Menu is perfect size with selection of offerings. The Tuna Sashimi, The Salmon Sashimi from the first section were nothing like we had ever had before same for the Crispy Rice. everything exploded with wondrous flair and flavor. We also had the hummus and their home made pita. The sauces were so delicious we used the bread to wipe the plates clean. W We loved it so much and went back again the next night. We tried other dishes and the branzino. The music was brilliant and people celebrated a few birthdays and so many people joined in and clapped and danced. The amazing chef Ben from Tel Aviv should be so very proud. We have been fortunate to watch in some of the so called best restaurants in the World. As far as my husband and I are concerned Neya tops most of them for so many reasons. cannot wait to go back. It's just wonderful. Toda raba to all at the restaurant.“

“The staff is wonderful! the food us 😋😋😋“

“very nice cozy place. food is good, great drinks.“

“one of my favorite places in Miami😍 Davie“

“The service was great and the food was delicious!“

“Our new absolute favorite must-have when visiting the Hollywood Broadwalk! AMAZING blueberry margaritas!!!! Excellent food and super friendly service. Cannot recommend them enough! ❤️“

“Great experience here on a Saturday night. Came with my dog and was sat immediately. The servers were all incredibly friendly. We especially liked the strawberries and cream croffle. Huge shout-out to the musician creating some great ambiance, Daniel.“

“For the price, you cannot compare to the effect and the service you will be provided. Think about a Barton G’s with a beautiful atmosphere. If you want a nice private ambience to hang out with your significant other or a friend to just have a nice conversation with some nice background music. The staff is all smiles and I can’t say 100% for all the flavors provided here but overall a great experience.
They spent the money on the hotel and you can see it here at this bar. And nowhere in Miami are you gonna get an $18 drink that takes six minutes to make. Most places for that price are going to give you a premixed drink with low quality alcohol…“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

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

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

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

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

“Everything about this place was excellent — the food was fresh and flavorful, the service was friendly and attentive, and the overall vibe was warm and inviting. You can tell they really care about quality and making guests feel welcome. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

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

“It’s understandable why this place is Michelin recommended— the only thing to top the incredible food (octopus was the best I’ve ever had, and pho was 10/10 and I’m a hugeeee pho gal), was the service!!!!!! They made us so happy and comfy and well attended, Carolina was the sweetest angel of a server and David was the best bartender!!! We will definitely be back 😍🙏🏻“

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

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

“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!“

“We visited ZeyZey for the first time to catch a DJ set and we’re so glad we stumbled upon this spot. It’s such a hidden gem with a laid-back, chill vibe that makes it perfect for a night out with friends. They offer both indoor and outdoor areas — the DJ performances are usually outside, where it’s mostly standing room unless you opt for VIP, which comes with seating. The indoor section had disco music playing, which was super fun and added a nice contrast to the outdoor energy. The drinks were okay, nothing mind-blowing but they did the job. As far as food, they only offer tacos, which we didn’t get to try but definitely will next time. The only downside is the parking situation, which is not easy at all, so I’d highly recommend taking an Uber to avoid the hassle. Overall, ZeyZey is a unique venue with great beats and a cool atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back!“

““ 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.“

“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!“

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

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

“Kuro is truly a best-in-class restaurant where I had an absolutely amazing experience. From the moment we walked in, our server Jeremy made us feel right at home with a warm welcome and attentive service that lasted throughout the evening.

Jeremy’s professionalism, knowledge of the menu, and polite demeanor were greatly appreciated. He provided excellent food recommendations, and every dish we tried was exceptional. The Chilean Sea Bass and Crispy Tuna in particular were standouts — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Dining at Kuru is an experience worth every penny. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for top-tier food, outstanding service, and a memorable night out.“

“I brought my work team to JNC Oyster after a friend recommended it — and it ended up being an incredible experience. I had never heard of the place before, but the atmosphere was perfect, the food was outstanding, and the staff was warm and attentive.

We even had the pleasure of meeting Lisa, the owner, who was so welcoming and friendly. We had a great chat, and to top it off, she even sent out a little oyster dish on the house — such a thoughtful touch!

Everyone on the team was impressed, and I’ve officially decided that JNC Oyster will be my go-to spot for all out-of-office meetings going forward. Highly recommend!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – 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.“

“Amazing food and staff, I highly recommend.“

“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“

“PHENOMENAL FOOD & fantastic service. We cannot wait to come back!“

“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.“

“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 !!! 😁🫶 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸“

“The food was really good, just the bone marrow with shrimp has a side that was still raw. The rest of the ood we order was amazing, we had flautas con mole and quesadillas con hongos. The drinks were great, I order the Oaxaca Extra Spicy and tasted awesome. The live music was fun and we were able to dance.“

“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.“

“Highly recommended when you want to take advantage of a beautiful day. Mike was hands down the most attentive and kind bartender.“

“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.“

“Don't leave your card. their employees will steal it and go on a shoping spree.“

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

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

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

“We’ve visited the Guest a number of times, as a couple, with our family and always had a great dinner. Food choices are nicely varied, without being overwhelming. Tastes consistently great and servers are friendly and quick without being intrusive. Definitely worth checking out and enjoy the fun outdoor seating.“

“Love it, great atmosphere, good drinks, good music and great food ❤️“
