Best & Cool Bars in Olympia Heights

"Area 31 is on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel, which means it boasts spectacular views across Biscayne Bay, Miami River, and the city skyline. The restaurant takes its name from Fishing Area 31, which is from where most of the ingredients are sourced. This area is an ecologically sustainable fishery."

"This one is precisely not on that top because there are only 16 floors, but the hotel’s downtown view is fantastic. Moreover, the view is hard to get anywhere else. Therefore, many young professionals and even business people come here to enjoy their happy hours."

This particular one, true to its locale, rides the line between a posh Miami Beach environment and a Surfside aesthetic. With canopied patios and poolside drinks until 5pm, Broken Shaker manages to capture Miami in its atmosphere as well as in its rotating monthly and seasonal cocktails."

"This bar showed Miami just how delicious cocktails could be. This intimate, tropical outdoor bar that lives inside the Freehand hostel has become a must-visit for any informed drinker passing through the city. Thankfully, the bar hasn’t lost any of its magic over the years and remains the North Star of Miami cocktail culture."

On offer are creative appetisers (try the devilled eggs with caviar, or crispy rice cakes with spicy tuna), sushi rolls and salads meant for sharing, and entrée-sized seafood and steak dishes. The bucatini pasta with butter-poached lobster is a sumptuous option and they've got an award-winning burger for those not in the mood for fish."

"No trip to Miami Beach is complete without sushi, and Lure Fishbar is a great choice. The restaurant itself is lovely and luxurious, and the staff is famous for their kid-friendly attitude.
