50 Best Cocktail Bars near Key Biscayne

“Last Saturday before going for a lovely walk at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park & Light House we went for lunch on Key Biscayne, we thought that the best choice would for sure be The Ritz-Carlton with their restaurant options, we choose to have brunch at LightKeepers restaurant, we had a lovely table outside overlooking the gorgeous pool area, we tried The Keeper’s Wife (local grilled artisan country levain, poached egg, shaved asparagus, tomato jam, hollandaise, crab, avocado) and the LightKeepers Burger, both really good, we decided for the Bottomless Beverage + Bubbly Package for $ 25 each. It was so lovely to sit there, relax, enjoy the food and drinks and the great weather, really relaxing. Now we will have to go back and try the other two restaurants there as those looked great too, these also have plenty of outdoor seating, Cantina Beach, Mexican oceanfront restaurant and Dune Burgers on the beach, cannot wait to be back ❤️ For more of my favorite restaurants, places and more, like my Facebook page Naddia’s Favorites or follow me on Instagram @naddias_favorites“

“It is the first time I come, we come from Mexico and the concept caught our attention, we feel like we are in a top bar in the city of Miami, we come for drinks, I like the diversity of the people who are in the place, the service Mike was very good from the beginning“

“Such a fun time with tasty foods and cold drinks. I highly recommend it.“

“The Tasting Menu was incredible on a Thursday night. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, given enthusiastic recommendations. Every course was delicious and the wines were wonderful too. I'll definitely be back! We were also checked on several times by our server and the manager. Absolutely wonderful, 5 star service with a personal touch.“

“We loved the decor and vibe of this place.
The entrées here are amazing and authentic.
I would give it 5 stars if everything was worth the money. Margaritas are small and underwhelming for $20
Salads are also small and underwhelming. They are also $20 , but I would consider them a side salad.“

“Last Sunday we visit Salao Cuban Bar .As always every thing was amazing.Thanks for the food the beauty of the place and THE MUSIC wich is faboulous(violin a great duo“

“Food was really good. Calamari and shrimp were 10/10. Penne a la vodka was pretty good too! Espresso martini was 10/10. Leonardo was wonderful, attentive, and kind. Great service fun music. Eating outside was great! Decently priced Italian!“

“Coyo Taco was recommended and we loved it. The Service staff was really nice and the best tacos we ever had. We definitely come back when we are on holidays again. Thank you!“

“Our server, Ana, was fabulous! Hands down best server ever! She asked right away if we had any food allergy restrictions and was careful to be sure our celiac friend was well cared for. She was so attentive and so sweet to our party of 5. Sergio was awesome too, making sure we were all doing good. Food and drinks were great!“

“A very cool, hip & chic place.“

“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“The crab claws are delicious!“

“DJ was awesome and drinks were on point“

“Good food, good service 🌸“

“Great service here, even in December. Becker is the man! They kept it hot even when it was a bit chilly out. Great food, stick with the classics and you cannot go wrong. Margaritas and Dos Equis all around. Keep it friendly and who knows, they may hook it up with a friendly gesture back! Its mamas tacos for me and mine. Love it.“

“Hi I love it so much thanks“

“Yesterday I was in for brunch. The food has always been amazing and Angela is a top tier bartender. I’ve been back several times for the food and friendly staff. The atmosphere was disrupted yesterday by the manager who cornered a young employee and literally cursed him in front of guests and other employees. It was so unprofessional and uncomfortable and disrespectful. Otherwise, again, the food is great and the servers staff are really friendly.

Just don’t like bullies.“

“I recently visited Rum Room in Miami Beach, and it was a unique and memorable experience. The restaurant gives off a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe, perfect for anyone looking to unwind with great food and expertly crafted drinks.

The staff was knowledgeable about both the food and drink menus, especially when it came to the different rums. Serj and Thalia are simply amazing! They were attentive, and totally talented when it comes to mixology, food and service.

Rum Room is a must-see hidden gem in Miami Beach!“

“French Apple. Pomme de terrre“

“Katarina was an awesome server!!“

“We hosted a large party at Osumi in Coral Gables, and it was the perfect spot! The location is great, and the decor is beautiful. The service was fantastic—friendly and attentive to our group. The sushi was delicious, and the cocktails are a must-try! Everyone had a great time. Highly recommend for any gathering!“

“Excellent menu and excellent service“

“We found this place walking around and Agata was our server. She is so friendly and nice person, she was the reason we stayed more and ordered more drinks and definitely we will come back just to get amazing service from her. Nice music and atmosphere from this place ?“

“Iván and Andrés provided an excellent service. The food was superb! Thank you for and amazing!“

“Everything about this restaurant was great the food ,the place is clean , the staff was very nice specifically Veronica. she was awesome , cordial and very professional ,I highly recomend this place, I am definitely going back and again ???“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“Good food (Cuban sandwich was pretty good, but not close to the best I’ve had in Miami; one negative about it, is that its bread was mushy/gooey around the edges — this is a rookie mistake with sandwiches, something you’d expect to see at a Publix deli, maybe, but not at a 4.9 restaurant).

Service was easily 5 star — Michael was my server, and did a great job.

Vibe / decoration / music / etc. easily a 5, too. All of that was great.

The food was overrated at 4.9, based on the sandwich I ordered, but I couldn’t bring myself to give it a 4 (that seemed more off than a 5)—so I rounded up, given the service and atmosphere.“

“Such a cool place! Had the best time ever. Perfect place to hangout with friends/date. Amazing Dj, friendly and professional service, best grilled cheese sandwich and espresso martini I’ve ever had! Great vibes all around. Low key unpretentious which is hard to find in Miami. Thank you!“

“I had heard about this hot restaurant from New York that I must try, but was reticent to do so because Carbone was the name of a character from Goodfellas that Robert Deniro's Jimmy Conway whacked when tying up loose ends after the Lufthansa job! Poor sap was hanging frozen in a meat locker. I'm glad I put that imagery aside because this place was amazing! Platitudes like wonderful ambience, fine service, flavorful food, great family style dining, are all applicable but just don't capture the full spirit of the evening. From the pickled cauliflower, to the signature spicy rigatoni ala vodka (which pairs nicely with their pinot noir offering Presqu'ile), to the Caesar salad (you must have those croutons!), and their delicious Italian petit-fours, everything burst with flavor and was resplendent of the authenticity of old Venice. And since you will be spending more than a few pennies here, one must luxuriate in the mid century environs replete with Murano glass chandeliers while being serenaded with a sound track of Italian crooners like Mel Torme and Frank Sinatra in the full bela canta tradition. If you have a special occasion, Carbones Miami Beach will make for a memorable evening.“

“Classy! Great food, drinks and music.“

“Muy buenas atenciones desde que entra ,hasta que sale a buscar tu coche la verdad ,la verdad hacía ya que no iba un restaurante con tantas atenciones y una comida excelente ,volvería ir gracias 😘“

“Excelente comida y rápido. Servicio excepcional por Michael!!!“

“Miami Sounder is a true gem! With its cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The cocktail selection is fantastic, featuring unique creations and classic favorites. I highly recommend the signature Mojito—it's refreshingly delicious! The live music adds a great vibe without being overpowering. If you’re looking for a laid-back place to enjoy good drinks and good company, The Bar is a must-visit!“

“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.“

“Was one of the best. Food 110% !!“

“Absolutely delicious. Tried the chefs tasting menu and it was an amazing culinary experience. Best polenta I have ever had, and dbranding was perfection. Cheers to amazing food provided with exceptional service with Sean. Seriously you can’t go wrong. What are you waiting for? Go eat!! Buon appetito!“

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

“This place was a hidden gem and SO amazing. Inside of a hotel on miami beach and it was cozy and quaint. But what made the experience so amazing was the bartender with the fresh kicks on. We kinda had the place to ourselves and like I said, was a hidden gem. But even if there were more patrons she still wouldve made it so enjoyable. Very personable, made fantastic drinks, and the atmosphere is very miami chic. Will definitely be back indeed.“

“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.“

“I really enjoyed my dinner here! Great service & great food! Definitely a highlight during my visit to Miami.“

“While visiting Miami Beach, I went to Jules Kitchen (Tiki Fish and Burgers) bar in the Circa 39 Hotel. The food and service were AMAZING. Loved the vibe. It was so good, I asked to speak to the cook to let him know just how good the food was. 😍“

“Nice atmosphere and delicious drinks“

“Had a magical dinner with Rodrigo, our waiter. We felt very relaxed and welcomed. Food was awesome! We will be back!“

“Amazing breakfast, recommended“

“I had an excellent experience thanks to the service of Candela and Juan. They were super attentive, friendly and always made sure that nothing was missing. The quesadillas were delicious, with a unique flavor that I definitely recommend trying. In addition, the atmosphere of the place is very pleasant, perfect to enjoy a good meal in company. I will definitely return soon. Thanks for everything!“
