50 Best Cocktail Bars near Miami Shores

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

“Delicious, inventive cocktails with house-made ingredients. Excellent service. A little loud, but we were there at 11pm on a Friday, so I kind of expect that. If you like craft cocktails served in a unique space with speakeasy vibes, definitely check this place out.“

“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!“

“I love the service at Red Rooster; our waiter remembered us even after over a year of not going to the restaurant! I love their new brunch buffet, everything was delicious, and lots of different foods to choose from. Brown sugar waffles were my favorite. Can't wait to go back.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had such a wonderful experience at Mama’s Taco! The vibe of the restaurant is warm and welcoming, and the food is absolutely delicious 🤤 full of authentic Mexican flavors. The tacos were fresh and flavorful, and the drinks perfectly balanced the meal.

A special shoutout to Zineb and the manager, who went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of – their hospitality truly made the evening memorable. Service was quick, friendly, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better.“

“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“

“Excellent food but to expensive“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 ???“

“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!“

“We enjoyed Alma Cubana. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was vibrant, and our server was amazing. One minor complaint: I had chosen Alma Cubana bcs it supposedly had a lot of gluten free options. It did not. I was able to get a rice dish with shrimp and plantains, so it worked out, but it was still disappointing that I either accidentally picked the wrong restaurant in my search or that the gluten-free options are no longer available.“

“The crab claws are delicious!“

“buenísimo todo, excelente.“

“DJ was awesome and drinks were on point“

“Hi I love it so much thanks“

“Good food, good service 🌸“

“The best , friendly service and the best ceviche .“

“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.“

“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“

“Katarina was an awesome server!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“French Apple. Pomme de terrre“

“We had a fantastic experience at rum room. Vanessa was our server and she was beyond amazing with sharing her favorites- which we ordered- and they did not disappoint. The atmosphere was so beautiful, live music and great drinks. Everyone needs to try here- would will not be disappointed!!“

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

“Servicio rápido, menú excelente atención buena i bien ambiente“

“Great spot on Ocean Drive! Excellent service, friendly staff, and perfect for people-watching. Prices are reasonable — you can get a decent bottle of wine starting at $40. Overall, a relaxed vibe with good food and great atmosphere. Ceviche, spaghetti alla vongole are delicious. Good cocktails, too.“

“Michelle is very nice and very fast.“

“Classy! Great food, drinks and music.“

“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.“

“El servicio es excelente, la comida deliciosa, nos atendio Jenni una chica muy profesional y con una sonrisa encantadora. De seguro regresaremos.“

“"We had a large celebration party with dietary restrictions and Vegans. Chef Diego Oka, both managers and the amazing team were spot on the entire night. We could not have asked for a better experience. What a great Grande Finale', IT WAS EPIC !!!!"“

“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!“

“This place is really cool. I’m local and just stumbled across it looking for a place open late for dinner. Their kitchen is open until midnight. The food is surprisingly good and fresh. Everything seems homemade and they have some of the best French fries I’ve ever had. I got the veggie burger with a lettuce wrap (vegan option). The vibe is also cool with a lot of character. A mix of locals and tourists alike. Service was okay despite Saturday night crowds.“

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

“What a fine cute little restaurant tucked inside what seems like a jungle hideaway. The music is tropical and inviting the bar is half filled with patrons as I currently write this and it’s my second time here. the first time I had the chicken Parm it was excellent this next time I’m getting the burger Because as it turned out they’re out of the chicken Parm. Margo is that cute little restaurant that fits the need of a local spot as well as a reasonable destination if you’re trying to go somewhere new definitely recommend check it out“

“We had a great time at Abbale Televivian Kitchen. From our entertaining server Ash to the delicious food we couldn't have asked for a better night.“

“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“

“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!“

“Went on a Saturday night, it was really busy and crammed which is to be expected since it’s a small place. I got the bright melon drink, which was pretty good, the music was good. Would go back on a weeknight instead. It’s a nice lounge, but definitely too crowded on the weekend.“

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

“Food was good, did not realize this was a hookah bar when we booked for a business dinner. Service was a bit slow and not very friendly. Food came quickly when ordered. The croquettes were awesome, charcuterie board was good, and fries were yummy. Happy hour until 8 which is nice!“

“La Cañita is an awesome family oriented fun restaurant with the exciting ambiance of an European Club Not only the food …. Music…and service is outstanding but all the people that work there are incredible friendly and really make you feel At home Henry Hernandez is the manager that has taken to his heart La Cañita … always courteous and attentive …he is the ❤️of this great new place to visit in the Kendall area See you there‼️ Maritere Pella“

“Ian was AMAZING… very personable and attentive. He made my birthday brunch awesome?“

“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).“

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

“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. 😍“
