50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hallandale Beach

“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.“

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

“Great all around experience. The manager Nigel was great. View is phenomenal as was the service. Good was just ok.“

“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“

“For the Standard Crowd
Stop ordering Tito’s Sodas and Espresso Martinis. These are not Fort Lauderdale Airport bartenders. They are on another level. Explore new drinks and discover a world previously unbeknownst to you.

For the Cocktail-Savvy Crowd
Expect well-executed classics and a menu full of smash hits and acquired tastes — crafted by a legend and brought to life by up-and-coming cocktail superstars. Their Bounty Daiquiri and Probitas Daiquiri are both delicious. While the fast-paced environment does limit the level of detail and technique I personally enjoy, it’s understandable — they’ve got quotas to hit. It’s the standard big-city bar rhythm: efficient, energetic, and volume-driven.

For the Cocktail-Autistic (Like Me)
Their classics are phenomenal.
If I had feedback, it would be temperature control. Some drinks felt slightly too warm, likely due to missed chilling steps. I recommend chilling everything before building: spirits, mixers, glassware — even carbonated ingredients. There might be some technique improvements that could be made.

Also, consider investing in spear ice. Yes, it’s pricey, but it meaningfully improves the experience by reducing surface area and slowing dilution.

Another detail: avoid garnishing sour drinks with lime wheels directly on the surface of the cocktail. As they sit, they leach bitterness into the drink. Skip the lime wheel and save a bit on your happy hour daiquiris — lime prices are only going up. You’re welcome; I just improved your margins.

Lastly (and this may sound counterintuitive): your drink volumes might be too high. Many feel like they’re built with 3 oz of base spirit. The Negroni in particular feels like 5 oz total. I’d suggest slightly lowering the overall volume. It would:
-Allow guests to enjoy more drinks in one sitting
-Improve guest pacing and per-head spend
-Make pricing more approachable (e.g. from $17–20 to $15–18)

I know this means changing every glass and possibly reworking your build strategy, but the long-term payoff in margins and guest experience could be well worth it.

Train your staff (especially on slow days) on unreasonable hospitality.“

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

“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“

“I always go to Rocco's but this time their service was not that good. They brought my main courses before my appetizers , I cancelled one of the appetizers as it didn't make any sense anymore , drinks were late. Food is always good though“

“one of my favorite places in Miami😍 Davie“

“Great spot for events and live music! The staff is awesome and the vibe is always right. They also host some great stand up comedy nights.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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! 👏😂“

“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!“

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

“This rooftop bar is absolutely amazing! The views are breathtaking, offering the perfect backdrop for sunsets and city lights. The cocktails are creative and well-balanced, with something for every palate. The vibe is relaxed yet upscale, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in – a must-visit spot!“

“We had such a great time at Moxies, and I have to give a special shoutout to Santiago behind the bar. From the moment we sat down, he made us feel welcome with friendly energy, great conversation, and spot-on drink recommendations. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure guests have a great experience. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Reasonably priced food that tasted really good. The staff was very nice but aside from the man that handed us our menus, they were very, very slow. We had to get back to where we were parked by a specific time and ended up having to rush because we waited so long for our salads and then for our check after we were done eating. Really I want to do 3.5 stars but since I can't, I am doing 4.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“Kaluz is a wonderful restaurant with excellent food and valet service. I have ordered the ribs, roasted chicken, cheeseburger and Caesar Salad. Great service. Make a reservation for dinner“

“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!“

“Phenomenal atmosphere! We stopped at the first bar on the left and ended up staying here all night. bella was a fantastic bartender and made us feel at home. ( we’re from chicago ). Overall, it was a amazing place and beautiful scenery. Ill be back forsure!“

“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.“

“I’ve only used uber eats with Phuc Yea but the chicken and tofu pho are truly the best I’ve ever had in general and without a doubt the best I’ve ever had in South Florida. There was a recent change where they no longer deliver to my home via uber eats which was the biggest deviation ever***…. I truly cannot express how good this pho is… the broth alone will single-handedly revive you from the deepest depths of sadness or your worst hangover…. Side note - even though it was super far away from me (30-40 min) it arrived PIPING hot in the very best way… when writing this - 4.1 stars sickens me for how good this is….“

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

“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu“

“Eric was our waiters and was the absolute best“

“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 🤦‍♀️“

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

“Es un lugar de música electrónica muy especial“

“I come here on Sundays and the brunch menu is so good. This place has a great conch salad. There’s a live DJ who’s awesome too. 10/10 recommend coming here for lunch!“

“Sehr lecker und macht viel Spaß“

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

“We stopped in for Taco Tuesday, hoping for a fun bite, but it was a bit of a mixed experience. The tacos were good, but the prices felt a bit steep for what you get. They’ve got a bar and both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. Unfortunately, the service wasn’t very welcoming; the person taking our order didn’t greet us or seem too interested in offering suggestions or talking in general. Overall, the food was solid, but the combination of high prices and lackluster service makes it unlikely I’ll return.“

“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.“

“I had an amazing experience at the Palm Room Trisch, and a huge part of that was thanks to the incredible bartender working the night I visited. From the moment I sat down, they made me feel welcome with a warm smile, great conversation, and expert recommendations.

Their cocktail skills were top-notch—every drink was crafted with care, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. I especially appreciated how they took the time to ask about my preferences and then customized a drink that was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.

The bar was busy, but their service never slipped. Fast, professional, and genuinely friendly—it’s clear they know how to handle a crowd while still making each guest feel like a priority.

If you're headed to the Palm Room Trisch, do yourself a favor and sit at the bar. The drinks are phenomenal, and the bartender? Absolutely the heart of the place.“

“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.“

“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“
