50 Best Cocktail Bars near Miami Lakes

“Excellent food but to expensive“

“Chela’s was a vibe! Great food, fun atmosphere—but the real star was our waitress Liss. Super sweet, attentive, and made the whole night better. We’ll definitely be back! ¡Chela’s estuvo genial! La comida riquísima, el ambiente súper divertido, pero lo mejor fue nuestra mesera Liss. Muy atenta, simpática y nos hizo pasar una noche excelente. ¡Definitivamente volvemos!“

“We chose Anacapri's because it offered Al fresco dining and because of their online menu offerings. The food was authentic and exceptionally delicious. Our server, Paolo, was quite helpful and efficient. When in the area again, we most definitely will return.“

“Exactly what you want in a sports bar. Great wings, servers that treat you like family, cold beers and plenty of screens. Is it fine dining? Nope. Do you want it to be? Absolutely not. Just order yourself a pitcher, some Dale wings, some onion rings and whatever else you desire and enjoy.“

“Incredible experience at Café La Trova. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Libations were perfectly crafted and delicious. Our server, Isis, was amazing—warm, attentive, and made the evening feel extra special. The music and overall vibe were so fun and lively. Highly recommend!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in Miami! So many yummy dishes! The lamb and the cornbread are delicious appetizers. For the main entree, I recommend the pepper pot. The drinks are pricey but good. The Marqueta is refreshing, I recommend it if you're a tequila fan.

I returned 3 years later to find the pepper pot is no longer on the menu. Please bring it back! I had the oxtail mac & cheese, which was phenomenal. The drink service was slow, though and they were out of a number of items for the cocktails.“

“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“

“Great service and delicious food!! Our waiter Oscar was the best!!! I can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“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!“

“French Apple. Pomme de terrre“

“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.“

“The BEST bar in downtown hands down!! My friends and I ordered a bunch of their cocktails and they were all super unique, creative and amazing! The owner diego and the bartenders are wonderful. Super attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely coming back every weekend! You guys are freaking killing it!!“

“DJ was awesome and drinks were on point“

“Really good neapolitan style pizza near the waterfront. So hard to find in the US but this was top notch. I particularly enjoyed the Caesar salad too. A half portion should feed two as a side. The front of house squeezed us in, our friendly server was speedy and the food came quickly too, which was great for my 7yo. It's a tiny place but cosy with a good atmosphere. Avoid eating at Bayside and eat here, reservations recommended.“

“⸻

Great rooftop spot with one of the best views in Miami. The atmosphere was exactly what you’d want—upscale but still relaxed, with a great mix of music and energy throughout the night. The skyline views really stand out, especially around sunset when the whole place lights up.

The drinks were well-crafted and consistent, and the cocktail menu had some unique options that were worth trying.

It’s definitely a place where the vibe carries the experience—perfect for a night out, date, or bringing friends from out of town. I’d recommend getting there a little earlier to enjoy the views before it turns into more of a nightlife scene.

And lastly, our server, Yansy made the entire experience even more memorable. Always attentive to our needs without being over bearing and did not hesitate when asked to take pictures and other requests that’s beyond her job description. Everything moved pretty smoothly even as it got busier. Will definitely return back here soon.“

“I stopped by Conventillo and had a really enjoyable experience. The place has a cozy, rustic charm with a warm, inviting atmosphere. I ordered a traditional dish, and it was rich, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, and everything felt authentic and satisfying. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the visit even better. It’s a great spot for a comforting meal, and I’d definitely come back.“

“First of all the vibe in this place is amazing! The decorations to the lighting, we had an amazing pizza the prosciutto pizza 10/10 the taste the freshness everything so good. Our drinks were also very tasty and made with love i had A passion fruit Moscow mule. No place better to spend a vibey Miami music week thank you to the amazing owner and Nahum who helped us in our recommendations.“

“This is definitely a hidden gem in downtown Miami and I would love for it to stay that way 😂😂 but seriously it is a cozy, intimate bar with great music and the drinks are really good! I got their version of gin and tonic and it was very refreshing! Their old fashions are also really good. It pays off to show up early like at 10 pm to get a good seat.“

“Demi was literally the best waitress ever! She was so sweet and attentive, made us amazing drinks. She went above and beyond to make sure that we had an amazing experience, I haven’t seen my friends in months and was basically dying to see them lol shout out to Demi for making it such an amazing night for all of us to get together. Will definitely come again, and I loved talking to her. We ordered a whole bunch of drinks between me and my friends and everything was so good, every time we finished one she come to clean up the table without fail. And all of her recommendations were on point, she recommended us a Gnocchi with pear and it was possibly the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. One of the cooks who was a guy asked how the food was and he was genuinely so kind. He had an Italian accent so we knew our pasta was in good hands lol. Overall 10/10 experience, do recommend“

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.

“Excellent ambiance, food and service. Our server Michael was very personable and very attentive.

I love that even if you’re dining indoors you feel connected to the outside as their sliders are wide open. We were there on a Thursday night and there was live music as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or a night out with friends and/or family.“

“Last night at Odd Birds in Miami was unforgettable. The atmosphere has a mysterious, moody vibe that instantly makes the night feel special.
We went for drinks, and every cocktail was perfectly crafted — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. The highlight, though, was the service. The owner, Victor, treated us like absolute stars and made the entire experience feel personal and elevated.
If you’re looking for a unique cocktail spot in Miami with incredible energy and top-tier hospitality, Odd Birds is a must.“

“I went for an event and tried pizzas ranging in toppings from grapes, to mushroom truffle, to burrata. My favorite was the grape pizza because it added just a hint of unexpected sweetness 🍇. These were accompanied by Lush Life, a tequila-based fruity drink, and April's Passion, which is best described as a spicy margarita made with vodka 🌶🍋. Overall it was a decent vibe with decent food.
