Best & Cool Bars in South Beach

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."

"Bars Cocktail bars Brickell. It’s the longest ride to the top of any rooftop restaurant in Miami (40 floors up!), but Sugar’s Downtown views—and East Miami’s ‘grammable galactic elevators—make it all worth it. Pockets of Asian-inspired gardens help set the Zen mood, though it’s the flowing breeze that’ll really put you at ease."

"Located in Brickell City Centre's EAST Miami, Sugar was just named to Condé Nast's 10 Best Rooftop Bars in the United States."

"Another solid evening option is one of Miami Beach’s most famous bars, The Broken Shaker. Somehow, this spot has shoot into mixology fame while maintaining a friendly, local atmosphere and top-notch drinks. Or, if a wine and pasta meal sounds absolutely perfect, make your way to Macchialina, known for authentic Italian cuisine and a cozy vibe."

"Once upon a time, Miami was the city of Champagne and bottle service. Though perhaps in some places bottle service still rules, the past decade has welcomed a craft cocktail movement that takes advantage of Miami’s excellent citrus and vibrant bar scene. Of the many options, The Broken Shaker, however, is the city’s standard-setter."

"Sometimes life works out: One of our favorite pool bars happens to be in the same place as one of our favorite photo spots. Which means we can reward our ’gramming with a boozy punch bowl. 2727 Indian Creek Dr., Miami Beach freehandhotels.com/miami"

"Baby Jane is a cocktail house situated in Miami, FL. Come and enjoy good food and great music at Baby Jane. We are located at 185 SW 7th St Miami, FLorida."

"Located next door to Casablanca and also overlooking the Miami River, this longtime family-run business boasts its own fleet of fishing boats, so you know the seafood is always fresh. Garcia’s sports a more casual vibe than its neighbor. It’s a lively place where families and friends gather on the laid-back patio to share plates of seafood with Cuban-influenced side dishes of rice, beans and plantains."

"According to the Miami New Times, a great place to visit is Garcia’s Seafood Grille & Fish Market. This establishment is part market and part seafood restaurant, and it is located in Miami-Dade County. It has been open since the 1960s, and it has become known for its variety of seafood sandwiches and seafood salads."

"Lightkeepers is inviting lovers to share a Valentine’s Day seafood offering for $59 per person (excluding tax and gratuity). From 5PM – 10PM guests can indulge in an unlimited seafood platter. All items are fresh and locally sourced."

"The scene: Undoubtedly one of the coolest, trendiest restaurants in Miami Beach, CVI.CHE 105 features a space-age design, with a sleek grey and silver colour palette, mesmerising purple lights and abstract sea-inspired artwork. This happening Peruvian hangout specialises in delicate ceviche dishes, all served with a squeeze of fresh Chulucanas’ lime juice, Arequipan onions and your choice of sauce. The cooked fare is equally impressive and takes the form of everything from generous platters loaded up with bite-size Peruvian delights designed for sharing, meat and fish plates based on old recipes rooted in tradition and fresh seafood dishes that use some of the less popular yet incredibly tasty seafood."

"According to Culture Trip, the best seafood restaurant in Miami is Cvi.che 105. Located in the up-and-coming downtown district, this restaurant has been opened since 2008. The restaurant is best known for its outstanding Peruvian ceviche and its other Peruvian seafood dishes, although there are also many options that are not inspired by Peruvian cuisine."

"Voted ‘2015 Best Peruvian Restaurant Miami’ by Zagat Guide, and winner of ‘Best Ceviche’ five years in a row by Miami New Times, CVI.CHE is a can’t-miss restaurant. Enjoy authentic Peruvian cuisine at a trendy Miami locale. Because ceviche is a dish served with raw seafood, you can bet that they have some of the freshest fish and seafood around."

"The shredded pork and shredded beef were really salty and over seasoned. The lechón (pork) had no crispy skin at all that you'd expect with a lechón”more. Indoor & Outdoor dining"

"The building opened in 1925 and became a US National Historic Landmark in 2008.* It’s an impressive landmark. It first started as headquarters for the newspaper Miami News. It now is a contemporary art museum."

"Or you can experience the pulse of a multi-dimensional metropolis, exploring 1930s to 1950s Art Deco glamour in South Beach and Mid-Beach, big city sophistication in Downtown, avant-garde art installations in Wynwood, shopping in the Design District, and a melting pot of Latin heritage in Little Havana. Given short driving distances between these eclectic neighborhoods, it’s possible to explore Miami’s multiple identities in a weekend without feeling rushed."

"After seeing your fill of water views and tropical plants, make your way to Calle Ocho, in the heart of Little Havana. Stop by Versailles, a favorite Cuban restaurant, for a syrupy Cuban coffee, a guava-filled pastelito, or, if you’re already hungry, a meaty Cuban sandwich. Wander around Calle Ocho for some interesting street art, watch locals play dominos in Maximo Gomez Park, and pick up a hand-rolled cigar as a souvenir."

"Put some miles on your car; Little Havana calls. Calle Ocho (Eighth Street) is another world, and you’ll know it immediately by the language of the street signs. Salsa music pours out from storefronts onto the streets. The scent of fresh guava pastries is never far."

"Major Food Group’s two-story Japanese restaurant and membership club brings a new kind of dining experience to the city—though it’s not just about velvet ropes. ZZ’s employs some of the best sushi chefs in the country and serves up a combo of NYC classics (where it earned a Michelin star) and Miami-inspired dishes specially for the locals, like stone crab sunomono and lobster dumplings. MFG’s longtime pastry chef, Stephanie Prida, makes these incredible Japanese ice cream sandwiches that are worth saving room for."

"ZZ’s Sushi Bar is a new Design District restaurant from the Carbone team, but it’s a membership-based restaurant. So you can only eat here if you are a “member” or a guest of a member."

"Well before cold brew became part of the common vernacular, Miamians showed devotion to caffeine, by virtue of the cafe Cubano. Perfectly pulled cafecitos are offered on nearly every street corner in the city, from restaurants and cafes to auto garages and take-out windows. Even so, Enriqueta’s Sandwich Shop in Midtown serves a superior cup."
