50 Best Cocktail Bars in Miami

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Interesting concept. Multilevel complex for social interaction with free parking.
A bar at the main level but surrounded by independent food kiosk, a DJ on the second floor with lounge chairs around coffee tables. Rooftop patio full service.“

“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 😘“

“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.“

“The best smoked turkey BLT and Mac-n-cheese I’ve ever had. Simply amazing“

“This is our second time visiting, and again it did not disappoint. Kitchen timing was a little bit off tonight, but the quality of the food that came out was outstanding. Congratulations on your Michelin Gormand award. Well deserved as the food is always consistently good from one dish to another from those that we have tried on the menu all have been top level.“

I promise you that you will not be disappointed.“

“Best salad … shrimp beets avocado OMG … 10 out of 10“

“Absolutely love this place! We come so much and the food and music are always amazing! Ivan is the best server. We have had him a few times and he is always the most welcome and thoughtful. This restaurant also has plenty of gluten free options and the label them on the menu. The parking is super easy at night. We are always able to find street parking.

Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten free guests!

Parking: Spots around the area on the street.“

“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.“

“What a great experience! Right in South Miami! Our waitress, Karen, was amazing! Very attentive and extremely helpful with the menu and drinks. She recommended the Omakase Signature to share. It comes with a variety of sushi. Compliments to the chef, it was exactly what we wanted and needed. 100% recommend coming down and seeing Karen and enjoying the delicious food and atmosphere!“

“Was staying in the hotel upstairs and while the hotel was not great, I was pleasantly surprised by the Biscayne Tavern. On night one I stopped in for drinks and was served by Maylin, who was an absolute delight and gave top tier friendly service. I decided to go back for dinner the next night and was served by Tomas. Another amazing night of service, plus the good is very, very good! I had one of the best Cuban sandwiches of my life (I used to live in Miami, I've had many) and I highly recommend the nachos, which are Cuban/Miami style and have plantain chips in place of tortillas. Give Biscayne Tavern a shot, it's low key in the best way and please give Maylin and Tomas all your love, they deserve it!“

“I recently dined at Grand Central, and it was an unforgettable experience. The ambiance was warm, and the staff were attentive and professional. The food was outstanding, with each dish showcasing the chef’s creativity and skill. The lobster ravioli was especially delicious, with tender pasta and a rich, flavorful filling that balanced seafood freshness with a creamy sauce. Every bite was a delight, and I can’t wait to return for more. Highly recommended!“

“Had our company Christmas party here, it was great! Food was excellent, Samantha our even coordinator was on point and all the managers on site were extremely helpful. Salsa dancers were great, DJ was awesome played all the requests our employees asked for, really a great place and the atmosphere was on point!!“

“My family and I were there this past Tuesday for dinner to celebrate my daughter's fifteenth birthday. We were a party of 20 including three kids. I am very well aware of the experience the staff has in dealing with large parties, but I wanted to tale the opportunity to thank everyone involved. From the event coordinator with whom I had constant communication to ensure thst every detail was in place, to the staff thst served us and to Nicholas, the evening manager. The food was amazing and the drinks phenomenal. Thank you all for allowing us to not only celebrate my daughter's birthday, but to be part of the Finka family.“

“❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“It’s always a pleasure every time I dine in. The bartender, Jhojan, recommended ‘La Chula with a Twist,’ his specialty cocktail AND BOY! it knocked the socks of my feet, it was so good. 11/10 recommend. Also, I have never gone wrong with any of their food dishes, including my favorite ‘Butter Krab Roll.’“

“My husband and I had the best dining experience here. Everything we tried was amazing and the service was top tier. The presentation of the food and the ambiance was as good as it gets for a romantic night out. The comfortable seating is a big plus!“

“Great service by Any , excellent, very friendly and professional. The food and the ambiance was also great. I will be back any time“

“Mamo is a must if you like sensational food, impeccable service and a stunning setting. The Chef Salvatore, is without a doubt Oscar winning in the Restaurant world. I recommend this restaurant very highly. You will not be disappointed, trust me.“

“To begin with, Paola's attention was impeccable, super detailed from the first moment and guides what to choose, she is truly interested in ensuring that the client eats delicious food and has a good experience.
Taco al pastor 10 out of 10, juicy meat, nothing dry, everything perfect
The horchata water tastes delicious, I highly recommend it, it tastes like the original.
I want to highlight the sauces, which have a unique flavor and, above all, spiciness.
Highly recommended in all aspects“

“Last night's dining experience at Adrift Mare was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish served was a culinary masterpiece, with flavors that danced harmoniously on the palate. The cocktails were crafted with an artistry that matched their exquisite taste. But beyond the impeccable menu, it was the ambiance that truly set the scene - elegant, yet inviting, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable evening. Adrift Mare isn't just a meal; it's a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life.“

“In Miami, who knows how long a club will survive. I've been here four - five times in the past few months and each time is a vibe. I worry that they'll go the same route as other clubs (top 40/y100 DJs aka Blackbird) in order to capitalize further but in the mean time, they deserve all the business they get. Solid stage and sound system with a dedicated sound engineer.“

“Everything about this place is exceptional. The manager Danielle is a sweetheart and Jonas Loza was absolutely amazing. The sommelier was so friendly and knowledgeable and Chef Killian and Nelson came out to touch the table which made the experience even better. This place is a 10/10 the staff is superb and the food is even better you will not be disappointed.“

“Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had, and great live music on Mondays!“

“Excelente ambiente y lugar. Buena comida!“
