Miami Beach - Best Restaurants and Bars - Hostelworld
"Located on the 16th Floor of the Kimpton Epic Hotel, one of the best hotels in Miami, Area 31 is a popular happy hour spot with gorgeous views overlooking sparkling Miami waterways and downtown Miami. The food is locally sourced with a seafood-centric menu with a Mediterranean flavor. At the bar, you’ll find seasonal cocktails and an international wine list."
"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."
"Editor's Note: Photo taken from the establishment's official social account. A post shared by Area 31 (@area31miami) on Sep 14, 2017 at 2:10pm PDT. On the 16th floor of the EPIC hotel is Area 31."
"One of the most iconic rooftop bars in Miami hosting a perfect blend of visitors and locals alike. The chic rooftop and garden sits on the 40th floor of the EAST Miami hotel. Sugar Miami serves delicious Asian-inspired cocktails and tapas, and it’s the go-to spot to watch the sunset in Brickell."
"On the 40th floor of the East Miami hotel at Brickell City Centre, you’ll find a lush rooftop garden bar stocked with all the good stuff. Think: truffle pistachio tataki and wok-tossed edamame paired with lychee blossom cocktails and rosé champagne. Plus, the view is to die for."
"What began in 2012 as a pop-up bar has flourished and matured into one of the most popular spots in Miami Beach. This courtyard oasis, equipped with twinkling lights, table tennis, and mismatched patio furniture, offers a roster of cocktails that change according to the season and available fresh ingredients. Curb your hunger with bites such as Korean chicken tenders and a Cuban sandwich."
"The Broken Shaker has helped evolve the Miami mixed drink scene bringing the stiff drinks out of the parlor and into the open air. It's not the velvet slipper and smoking jacket type of cocktail club some out-of-towners may be use to. Patrons sip their drinks scattered around the pool and beneath the over-growth."
"Little Havana's Bar Nancy sports rustic, nautical-inspired décor and a healthy selection of craft cocktails. The bar — named for the brigantine Nancy, which transported war supplies during the American Revolution — offers cocktails named after ships or patriotic themes or both. The Abigail Adams is made with Ford’s gin, Giffard crème de pêche, lemon, strawberry, cucumber, and soda; the Stem to Stern consists of apricot-infused Bulleit rye, lemon, apricot jam, and ginger ale."
"Another hotspot, billing itself as a “Cocktail Lounge & Music Emporium,” the Electric Pickle is the place to go for that energized, electronic rhythm with a chilled vibe. Inside, it’s dark and welcoming, with an “anything goes” policy."
"This is your friendly neighborhood bar in the heart of Wynwood Art District. This is a wonderful spot to relax, listen to great music and dance if you are in the mood for it. The drink menu has a few cocktails and plenty of draft beer and beers in bottles/cans."
"Or, if a cold beer at a locals’ bar is more your style, Wood Tavern has an awesome happy hour and a relaxed vibe on their outdoor patio.. They also offer daily specials and delicious burgers at the Bar Next Door, which is connected to Wood’s patio."
"Wood Tavern epitomizes the Miami art/hipster vibe found in the new 'it' neighborhood, Wynwood. The bar appears like a standard dive in the front, but the outdoor oasis has picnic tables, a few games, strings of lights, and tons of graffiti—the..."
"For a little Latin flair and a fun night out, head to Baru Urbano in Mary Brickell Village. The stand-alone buildings reflect a lodge vibe, but it's chock-full of Latin influences. Be sure to try some of the tequila-based cocktails and the..."
"Little Havana’s shining star offers up Latin bites and beer in an intimate setting that includes a hidden back patio with a tropical vibe. The restaurant boasts locally-sourced ingredients and an award-winning chorizo croquettes dish. Order those for sure and compliment your starter with a short rib burger or a pan con bistec (juicy steak sandwich)."
"El Brazo Fuerte Bakery is home to fresh-baked traditional Cuban and French pastries and savory dishes. Cuban pastries come in several delicious sweet flavors, including coconut, guava and cheese, guava only, and cream cheese, plus savory options such as beef, ham, and tuna. The bakery also serves up some beautiful éclairs, Napoleons, Key lime tarts, and pizza-flavored pastries."

"Back in Coral Gables we have yet another French bistro for you to add to your daily rotation. Frenchie’s Diner has been serving up the classic lunch and dinner staples every day but Sunday and Monday. This charming locale has everything you want from a neighborhood Brasserie–from a low-key diner atmosphere, an owner that knows you by name, and solid comfort food that never fails."
"Known for the spirit, freshness, and French flare they put into every dish, L'Edito French Restaurant is the place to go for a full-on French meal. Start your night with a glass of wine then move onto an appetizer. Favorites include the French onion soup, escargot in flaky puff pastry, and pan-seared foie gras."
"More than a decade old, this is still a buzzy neighborhood joint serving innovative, award-winning food without any pretense. If you're spending any time in the Design District, even if you’re just window-shopping (yeah, that’s what we all say), make a point of planning your day around a meal at Michael’s Genuine, whether that means brunch (banana cream pie, anyone?), lunch, or dinner. With such a varied menu, it’s truly a something-for-everyone place, and consistently delicious enough to wow even the most demanding diners."
"Michael's is often cited as Miami's top restaurant, and it's not hard to see why: this indoor-outdoor bistro in Miami's Design District is an...Read More"
