50 Best Cocktail Bars near Hialeah

“La Cocina is exactly the kind of place Hialeah needed. When you just don’t feel like getting dressed to go trip over the cracked (but colorful) sidewalks of Wynwood or dealing with panic-inducing street parking (that might just be me) for a tasty cocktail, La Cocina is close to home and hits the spot! And they have a free parking lot right across from Stephen's.I first visited La Cocina with friends in 2019 when excitement for the Leah Arts District was at its peak and lots of block parties and events were being held nearby. The vibe and quality of drinks, food, and ambiance has not changed! I will say, however, the times I’ve gone back since the pandemic/reopenings, La Cocina hasn’t been quite as busy as it was before 2020, which depending on how rambunctious of an ambiance you need to enjoy your cocktail, may or may not be a good thing! They used to be open more evenings of the week, but understandably they’re now only operating Friday and Saturday nights, and sometimes Sundays if there’s an event going on. There are some evenings where there’s a pretty good crowd, and in those instances, service does become a bit slow as there isn’t enough staff, but they do their best!If you’re someone like me and you’re petrified of fighting for attention and trying to shout and order a drink at the bar, have no fear as you can take a seat and they come to you! Socially awkward friends, you’re safe here. Within this year they changed up their menu, but most of the food options are the same. I’m not sure if they’re still on the current menu, but there were some cochinito tacos that were phenomenal, and the chicken and waffle sliders were great for sharing. The guava frita burger is one of my favorites, but with the recent menu change, the price has gone up (which is completely understandable in these times), but the burger is now served with coleslaw instead of fries. I hope that leaves you stunned in silence as it did to me. I can’t think of many circumstances in which I would like to enjoy a burger, possibly buzzed, and dip my fingers into some coleslaw. Please bring the fries back as the default side. You can substitute the cole slaw for fries, but last time I did, I think it was a $4 upcharge.But speaking of fries, it’s not listed on the menu, but please believe me when I tell you that you need to order the basket of fries. I don’t know how they do it, but they’re consistently the best fries you could hope for when you’re several drinks in. It’s just pure starchy, salty, potatoey magic. They’re so good that they have their own paragraph in this review. Get the fries.As for the drinks, there’s something for everyone on the menu (even non-alcoholic drinks). The names and concepts behind them are funny and tasty, and very very Hialeah. The presentation is *chef’s kiss*. My absolute favorite, which is no longer listed on the menu, was the Ya Tu Sabes, which was a mango old-fashioned. Andy, the cowboy hat-wearing rockstar of La Cocina that has been there since the post-pandemic reopening, always comes through when I ask for it even though it’s no longer on the menu. I’ve tried different drinks (the Que Cute from the first drink menu was a second favorite; it was guava and gin-based), but nothing compares to the Ya Tu Sabes. I very often come to La Cocina just for that drink. They serve it with a nice big ol’ cube of ice, so you know it’s legit.I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves, but there are plenty of reviews also raving about the awesome attention to detail of the decor. As a Latina of non-Cuban descent, there are often many things about Hialeah that in a sense have made me feel left out, or that I couldn’t relate to. But there’s something about how La Cocina captured the essence of a childhood in Hialeah that still evokes a sense of nostalgia for me, and I really appreciate that.There is a LOT to love about this place, and I hope it continues to thrive and provide as this awesome little speakeasy in Hialeah. Definitely check it out!

The sushi was delicious, and the cocktails are a must-try! Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend for any gathering!“

“This was a fun outing for an afternoon. A family outing to have a drink and try our luck. I was not expecting much but, boy, was I wrong!
The whole area, along with the village has been cleaned up very nicely (from a visit some years ago) and it has become a destination for a fun afternoon. The Carousel Club is the center of attraction and, what a center. The round bar, the sitting area, the overall feel is very good. Families with and without children were enjoying the afternoon.
We did some fun betting and won enough to buy hamburgers at the village restaurant. Well, everyone else enjoyed their hamburgers, I had a margherita pizza which I quite enjoyed.
Lots of parking, easy to reach, the Carousel Club at Gulfstream provided us with a very enjoyable afternoon, followed by dinner at The Village.
Prices are "Miami reasonable", not bad. Service is good, ambiance clean and good.“

“Our favorite Happy Hour in Miami. The most delicious empanadas- try them all. The calamari is also perfection.“

“Best food I’ve had since moving to Miami. Also the best atmosphere. I went there with my wife and best friend. I felt like I was also in a safe space (lgbtq friendly fo sho)

Drea was the absolute best. Her energy is next level! Mike our bartender was nothing but smiles and rad recommendations. All the food we had was FIRE. The chicken sandwich I will be coming back for. I work at a hotel and I will definitely be sending people here.“

“Maybe I’m just TOO OLD for this environment (look at my attached photo). The “smashed burgers” …are NOT real “smashed burgers”, you can tell they were cheap, processed “meat” patties. The wings, event though I did want them well done—they went to an extreme. It was like eating “hard crackers”. The BEER ? was Cold, so that’s a “+”. Fries were “meh”.

Come try and judge for yourself, it’s not worth it for me to come back. I wish them well and LOTS of SUCCESS with their type of crowd. Music was just wayyy TOO LOUD for Me. To the point that it hurt my ears. Again, maybe I’m just TOO OLD for this environment (look at my attached photo).“

“Excellent Food and Service“

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

“Great music drinks and atmosphere“

“I recently visited Coconut Grove with my wife from Colombia, and we decided to check out The Oyster Bar by Eva. Criscelis, the bartender, was absolutely incredible! Her cocktails were delicious, and she was very friendly and conversational, making the whole experience even better. We had a fantastic time and enjoyed a wonderful atmosphere.

If you’re looking for great drinks and delicious oysters, I highly recommend this spot! It’s a must-visit in Coconut Grove.“

“Dorol steakhouse had some of the best food I have ever eaten. The place was quiet and being visitors from the far east coast, the waiter and the team were quite exceptional in their service. Great team specifically Jesus, he was a great server I would recommend to anyone any day! The chef did great even our kids enjoyed their meal. Will definitely comeback! I recommend this restaurant to anyone local or visiting Dorol or Miami area in general.“

Parking: It's easy to park

Kid-friendliness: The menu is varied so that children can choose from and there is a wall of Legos for photos“

“It was my first time there. The restuarant is nice, ambiance was great and food was amazing. I had the pistachio French toast and it great. The portion was huge, I count finish but wished I had the stomach to do so. I will definitely be back another visit. Our server was attentive, seemed a bit on the soft spoken side or not much of a talker but she ensured her presence was there and didn't leave us sitting for long periods of time without a check-in“

“Stellar mixology at one of the best rooftops in Miami. It was a very memorable afternoon into evening 🌞“

“I was here for a specific reason, to craft my own pizza, which was NOT on the menu. The women at the front said “You can ask, but I am not entirely sure” and that was good enough for me.The bartender, Chris, was extremely helpful and personable, and I wanted to create my own personal pizza, so he called out a chef to help me.One of the chefs, Tony an experienced foodie from NY, came out to discuss the order I wanted and told me it would be a little pricier as I wanted a “fat sandwich pizza” a staple from where I am in NJ and where I went to college.This pizza is a white pizza with no sauce besides buffalo drizzled over the top piled high with mozzarella cheese, french fries, chicken tender pieces and mozzarella sticks.The pizza was AMAZING, one of the best fat sango’s I had ever eaten, maybe they will put it on their menu for me :-).The price was $35 for this one pizza as the bartender whom was extremely busy accidentally charged me for a cheese pizza + a side of all the toppings. The chef corrected this mistake and comp’d me a bruschetta as he could not charge back what I paid with.Apparently restaurants starting with B in Wynwood have something in common, friendly, experienced staff and fantastic food.I introduce myself to make conversation at every restaurant and Baccano went above and beyond with my experience.“

“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!“
