36 Best Cocktail Bars in Miami Beach

“I always have such a great time here! Daniel and Adolfo are amazing bartenders — super friendly, attentive, and they always make you feel welcome. The drinks are great and the service is consistently excellent. Definitely one of my favorite spots and a place I always enjoy coming back to!“

“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“Rosita was so attentive, kind, and friendly. I love this place, I’ll come back every time I’m in Miami! The food was so good. Everything was so fresh. The atmosphere was comforting and beautiful. Also the playlist was fire 10/10“

“Great spot and the food was really good! The only thing I didn’t like was the service. After our server brought out the food, we didn’t see him again. We eventually had to ask another waiter to let him know that we were finished.
He never came back to check on us, ask how the food was, or see if we needed anything else. I actually wanted to order a few more things from the menu, but since our waiter never came back, I didn’t get the chance.
Overall, the food was good, but the service could definitely be improved.“

“I first had the pleasure of dining here nearly two years ago, and it instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. From the warm atmosphere to the unforgettable flavors, everything about the experience was exceptional. The plate of pasta I had on that first visit was so memorable, it’s still the background on my phone — and I’ve made multiple trips to Miami just to come back and enjoy it again. The quality has never wavered. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.“

“Haven’t been in while, but we can’t wait to go back. 😊“

“We choose it for dinner based on the reviews but after our experience we agree that the rating is too high. The serving was mediocre, the mojito was served in a water glass. We ordered pizza for the kids and the salami was spicy, they couldn’t eat it- a heads up would have been mandatory in this case. Despite all that the paella was very tasty, and one is enough to serve 2 persons. The prices are in the average scale for Ocean Drive.“

“We had a wonderful meal. We were served by a very friendly lady named Kayle, who gave us all the information, service, and advice we needed. The food was good, and the dessert (chocolate mousse) was amazing.“

“Yes I recommend. Beautiful bartender Maria is definitely the best . She always has that beautiful glow to her when she's serving . Also has great attitude and customer service when it comes to any general questions regarding the Shaker Bar, Freehand, and Generator.“

“Valentina is absolutely wonderful! She is so kind, friendly, and always has a smile on her face. Sheis incredibly helpful and always happy to answer our questions and offer recommendations. Thank you so much, Valentina, for making our experience so pleasant! We truly appreciate your excellent service.“

“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.“

“Dined in, everyone's dish was absolutely delicious. I had the Fettucini Primavera w/chicken. The ingredients are fresh & of highest quality. The sauce, cheese & chicken prepared to perfection. The chef is Italian & prepares authentic dishes. Will definitely come back again.“

“We waren 4 dagen in een hotel hier tegenover, maar iedere avond hier genoten van een lekker biertje, wijntje en gezelligheid!!! super fijne eigenaar en personeel! 🫶“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“We had Chavely C. as a waitess, she was excellent, we can’t say enough greatness about her !“

“Was one of the best. Food 110% !!“

“I can’t believe anyone would leave this place a bad review.

I’ve been here a million times over the last ten years.

Tricolore salad is maybe the best salad in any restaurant in Florida.

The polenta dish is a total stunner.

Pasta pomodoro is a top 5 pomodoro of my life.

The mushroom pasta also life changing….

Service is always solid.

Cocktail program is very good plus they get drinks out pretty fast for an ambitious restaurant program.

Desserts very good.

New renovation-love it…..“

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

“Natalie the bartender is awesome!“

“I’m from NYC and felt like this was the best experience at a cocktail bar I’ve had in YEARS. Mainly because Kenny was so friendly& charismatic and the drinks were delicious. He really cared about the art of the cocktail and patrons having a great experience. I was in miami for 2.5 days and I went twice. My friend was also pregnant and she loved the mocktails. The drinks were delicious and unique and made in front of you! Chill spot where you can have a conversation w your friends. Just go already!“

“Amazing breakfast, recommended“

“I love this bar. Tony the owner is incredible. Hospitality is amazing. Full, and I mean FULL bar. Everything you like, and if they don’t have it, they’ve got something better. Sat and chatted with him for hours about everything under the sun. Bartenders are all very professional with immense spirit knowledge. I’ve tried so many things here I’ve never tried before. Great lighting and vibes in a small speakeasy-type bar. Amazing place to start the night or end it. Thanks for everything, Tony!“

“Love the vibe so much!! Drinks were great but the food was better than some restaurants. Only in Miami for a few days but I’ll remember Brothers Keeper and would come back. Service was awesome, ask for Easy bc he knows what to recommend and won’t steer you wrong.“

“Highly recommend! This speak easy felt exclusive, romantic, with an eclectic vibe. The staff including the hostess & waiter were great! They had a good variety of cocktails to choose from. Highly recommend the charcuterie board to share!“

“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.“

“Vraiment très bon. Le service est prévenant. Un vrai moment de détente. Néanmoins attention à la note, un peu salée pour des habitudes françaises.“
