50 Best Cocktail Bars near Aventura

“Excellent Food and Service“

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

“Always a fantastic meal with equally fantastic service at a beautiful restaurant. A pleasure on a holiday not to get ripped off with exorbitant fixed prix menus. Toku is so excellent that it's always special to go there. We will continue to celebrate many occasions there as well and just when we want a great meal with wonderful service. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Their new spot in The Abbey, Aventura, impressed our small group on a quiet Wednesday. Everyone loved the fresh Italian dishes, service was fairly quick despite one late final dish; personally delivered by the head chef, adding a nice touch. Relaxed vibe.“

“What detracts from the experience is the disconnect between the vibe of the bar and looking into the food court on the first floor. The cocktails and food were great though.

Note that the $300 drink minimum for groups of 6 or more is only for drinks and does not include food.“

“Although I had a bit of trouble looking for the entrance, I found the venue and was very pleased at the welcoming and nostalgic ambiance on the patio setting. I went to a friend's birthday 🎂 party 🥳 and the venue choice was a refreshing sight to visit and far from the usual scene.“

“The place is veeeery nice. I was there on a Wednesday, drinks were 2x1 for girls. I’m not sure if I got the deal, but the drink prices were very fair compared to other places in Miami.
The service was okay, the girls were nice! But it was crowded and the drinks took a long time.
Before 9 pm they only offer small dishes, which is a shame. I only liked the burrata and the pizza. The pasta after 9 pm was very good though!“

“I have spent great time with my girls there, Food was amazing, Atmosphare was Awsome, Highly Recomended.“

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

“Ordered chicken and pork empanadas for starter. Bellini with peach was amazing. Three sliders entree gives you the flavors of their tender and juicy meats with plantain fries. Can't miss with ropa vieja tender with a little crisp. Finished it off with mango cake. The entire lunch, atmosphere, music and staff exceeded our expectations! Definitely recommend the Miami Beach location. Sit close to the street for additional and unexpected treats.“

“We had the best first experience at Phuc Yea thanks to our server, Carolina. She was phenomenal from start to finish , so attentive, warm, and knowledgeable about the menu. Her recommendations were spot on and truly made our meal unforgettable.

She took the time to explain dishes, helped us choose the perfect options, and made us feel completely taken care of. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving guests a great experience.

If it’s your first time, ask for Carolina, she made ours amazing!“

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

“one of my favorite places in Miami😍 Davie“

“Alejandro was an amazing server and had a great time with our table. Food was great, but one of the items was out and we had to request something different. Not Alejandro's fault and he made sure we were only charged what we actually ordered. Would definitely go again!“

“Yes, Best pizza ever!!! I am originally from NY and omg this pizza was amazing!“

“Great ambiance and the bartenders were excellent — friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately, we had a disappointing experience with the kitchen. We visited on Friday and our dessert never came out. We returned on Saturday for happy hour and ordered sliders. The sliders arrived with ingredients that were not listed on the menu. We requested a replacement, but the second order was also prepared incorrectly.

Overall, the front-of-house experience was strong, but the kitchen execution fell short.“

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

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

“Tucked into the Oceanside of our favorite Boutique Hotel in NOBE, this place will WOW you with their food, atmosphere and view. The staff is phenomenal, service is excellent. We’ve had most everything on the menu over the years, most recently the Ahi Tartar, Greek Salad, Grape Arugula Salad, Kalypso Burger and pizzas (Margarita and Mushroom), Lamb Shank and Short Rib, everything was perfectly prepared and presented. It’s accessible from the beach walk or Collin’s Ave. you will not be disappointed with a visit to this fine establishment. Achilles and his staff including Kenny and Niko will treat you like family.“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

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

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

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

“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!“

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

“Really loved the overall decor and atmosphere here! As a Wedding and Event DJ in Miami, South Florida, Key Largo, Islamorada, and Southwest Florida I really appreciate unique experiences like this and the great hospitality we got from our server Morgan! Thank you ! We ordered the Linguine Limone and Margherita Pizza, and both were tasty but could've had a bit more flavor. I was taken aback by hesitancy on requests for extra basil on the pizza. The background music, throwback R&B & Hip Hop, & Disco playlist really didnt complement the upscale, romantic decor. Would definitely nonetheless recommend you visit and experience it for yourself! You can tell this is a very well managed restaurant with amazing decor.“

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

“The concept and the ambiance its awesome. The vibes and the people were great too, its open space so be prepared to bring a fan cause the crowd can get hot. Only thing that needs improvement is the bathroom situation as the trailers are small and tight, also a bathroom attendant would be great to keep re stocking as needed. Take into consideration that there's a free parking lot that get full pretty easy so after that you can only park on the street or right next to the train racks. It can get a little sketchy so try not to be alone when leaving the establishment“

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

“Stopped by Elvis' Italian Restaurant and Grille on 3/20/26. What a pleasant experience. We were immediately greeted by a lovely young lady (Aubry) who ended up being our server.

She sat us out by the water which made for a nice dining experience. We couldn't have asked for better service.

From the pre dinner cocktails through the calamari appetizer and the veal and prosciutto and Italian Sausage and pasta dishes everything was phenominal.

We got a chance to meet the very kind proprietor and chef, Elvis, as we were finishing our dinner. As full as we were, he recommended the powdered donuts for dessert. What a treat. I highly recommend this establishment for a wonderful food, ambiance and the friendliest staff.“

““ 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!“

“The best vibes, service & food!!!“

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

“Great time at Kuro once again with the amazing staff. Our server, Luis, and the handsome sushi chef, Chef Jin, beautifully designed our menu mapping with elite staple menu items such as the tuna crispy rice, hamachi pepper, and wagyu tacos. We greatly enjoyed our drinks from the bar as well. I recommend the ichigo and haku.“

“had a great time with lots of laughs and a full belly. the staff is active and can bring the fun organically. Will be back soon! thank you!“

“Amazing experience at Hikari in Miami. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. The highlight of the night was our waiter, Laz — he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. He truly made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“The service was exceptional, and our server Yohan truly elevated the entire experience. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Yohan made sure everything arrived on time, checked in at the perfect moments, and created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great service can transform a meal, and Yohan did exactly that.

The food was phenomenal. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The sushi was beautifully plated, almost like edible art. Each roll was crafted with precision, vibrant colors, and elegant presentation that made it just as enjoyable to look at as it was to eat. The balance of flavors and freshness of the fish were truly impressive.

The hibachi was equally amazing. The portions were generous, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. From the tender proteins to the seasoned rice and vegetables, every bite was satisfying and delicious.

Beyond the food itself, the cleanliness and ambiance of the restaurant added to the experience. The space felt comfortable, well-kept, and inviting—perfect for enjoying a high-quality meal.“

“We came early before they opened. We are not from Miami. They let us in the restaurant. The right away gave us water and nachos to snack on. We ordered dirty nachos, 2 types of tacos, flat iron steak and kebabs. Everything was beyond amazing!!!!!! Big portions, amazing service. Highly recommended!!! Beautiful place!“

“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!“

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

“We have been here multiple times and LOVE the food. With that said, not sure what happened last night but it was top 5 worst serve we have ever had: waiter didn't come to the table for over 20 minute after we sat down, once we placed the order drink came 45 minutes later, brought the kids meals last (after over an hour), never brought out main courses, waiter never checked on us, the list goes on and on. We finally cancelled our main course and left after being there over 2 hours. Worst part is there was no acknowledgement of the horrible service and serve charge was purposely added so there is no accountability for poor service. Very disappointing to say the least.“

“Walked right in for lunch. Food was good! I had the Jalisco Burrito. Good flavor and good portion. Really enjoyed the complimentary chips and 4 different dips. No problem parking, but we were there for lunch on a Wendsday. Server was attentive and nice.“

“Great service amazing food!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We went early for NYE, before all the action. We started with the queso & chorizo. It was so good and the chips were fresh made. We also had the flight of margaritas. A great way to try multiple flavors! The coconut one was a surprising favorite. My husband had steak fajitas. He really enjoyed them and the aroma was amazing! I tried a bite and the steak was so tender. I had the shrimp tacos. They weren't as impressive, more of an appetizer, not an entree. We also had the churros. They weren't quite done so not impressive either. We'll definitely want go back to try more items on the menu though because all of it was flavorful. Our server was perfect, she didn't rush us but checked on us often, even as the restaurant began to get busy.“

“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 !!! 😁🫶 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸“
