Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Hollywood Beach

"Coconuts has been dialing up the flavor on some seafood favorites for anyone who comes through the front door. Not only is it a local favorite for mouthwatering dishes such as the generously seasoned conch fritters and tasty Mahi tacos, but it has also been named the best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, according to New York Times reader’s choice awards. Don’t take their word for it, though."

"Here, diners can indulge in specialty cocktails, shareable snacks, and made-from-scratch entreesas boats cruise by the dock. Coconuts is a popular place for outdoor dining, and with epic sunsets and uninterrupted views, it’s easy to see why."

"With autumn upon us and winter on the way, eating outside in South Florida becomes a more pleasant experience. So, what better time to pay a visit to Coconuts, one of Ft. Lauderdale's premier waterfront restaurants."

"Located in Kimpton's Epic Hotel, this restaurant's setting affords skyline views of both Miami (to the north and west) and Biscayne Bay (to the east and south) that guests find truly breathtaking--that is, if they aren't too focused on the incredible cuisine. Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk gleans most of his seafare--items such as jumbo lump crab salad with spicy seared watermelon, heirloom tomato, avocado, mint and basil or yellowfin tuna with mixed grains, smoked black beans, shrimp guacamole and ginger juice--either locally or from the region of the ocean for which the restaurant is named, Area 31, one of the only self-sustaining spots that is said to be left in the ocean. Meat and pasta dishes are just as delicious and contain sustainable items from nearby farms and other trusted sources."

"Perched 16 floors high inside the EPIC Hotel in Downtown Miami, this longtime restaurant still has some of the best views of Miami's Downtown skyline in the city. Whether going for its popular happy hour or for a seafood feast, grab a seat on its outdoor patio and soak up the views."

"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."

"Do these tangy, spicy wings taste nearly as good without a complete panoramic view of Miami from the 40th floor?. Find out as Sugar offers this plus the rest of its menu for delivery. Cool off from all the spice with the Audi and Ramsa ice creams, which are made with various types of alcohol."

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

"Set in Coconut Grove's Peacock Park near Biscayne Bay, Glass & Vine has a sprawling outdoor deck where you can enjoy Chef Giorgio Rapicavoli’s inventive fare. It’s a popular spot for lunch, dinner, happy hour and weekend brunch. Filled with creative small and large plates, highlights include broccoli fritters, local fish crudo and snapper a la plancha."

"This quaint restaurant located within Peacock Park packs a big punch. Its menu changes with the season, but the food is always handmade, local and downright delicious. As for brunch, some things stay the same (thankfully)."

"Located inside Peacock Park, this is Miami’s only restaurant in a park setting. If you are a nature lover, you will love it here!. The ambience is trendy, classy and casual."

"Long-time patrons gather at Mac’s Club Deuce Bar for cheap drinks and familiar faces|© Jack Hobhouse / Alamy Stock Photo. Opened in 1926 (and later bought by the legendary Mac Klein in 1963), Club Deuce is one of the oldest drinking dens in Miami. This iconic dive bar was featured in hit TV series Miami Vice and was dubbed as “one of the last true dive bars in South Beach” by Anthony Bourdain."

"Sip an eye-opening Irish coffee or Bloody Mary at Mac's Club Deuce, billed as Miami’s oldest bar and quirkiest dive. Playboy, Anthony Bourdain, and a slew of other celebrities sing the praises of this local legend. This rustic classic opens their doors at 8 a.m."

"However, this is one among them which offers booze to the customers who are arriving at the bar. This 50 plus year of the bar is having a rich history with the editors. Other than this, the bar is having neon lights installed by the best crews."

"For an erudite check-in, head to Books & Books, which hosts signings and talks from authors throughout the year. Whatever food you’re craving, you’ll find it here at Lincoln Road: Mexican, Italian, Japanese and Latin-inspired anything. Diners flock to the outdoor dining at Nexxt Cafe, which has been serving American-fusion fare since 1999; the menu is enormous. To slip away from the throngs of Lincoln Road for a more intimate, upscale experience, reserve a table at Italian favorite Casa Tua; it’s located nearby on a quiet side street."

"Appealing to both the health-conscious and the self-proclaimed foodie, Soul Tavern is the first plant-based gastropub in Miami. Located in the Sunset Harbour neighborhood, this spot serves vegetarian and vegan comfort food. Dine alfresco in the Zen patio or slide up to the bar and enjoy local brews."

"Part vintage surf shack, part sultry outdoor club, Hyde Beach at SLS South Beach hotel is a prime spot to rub elbows with the young and fabulous of South Beach beneath string lighting and palm trees. Inside the bar, you’ll find VIP tables, a DJ booth and dance floor, while outdoors there’s a sprawling space to mix and mingle in the fresh air by the swimming pools. For a debauched weekend daytime pool party, this is one of the hottest scenes in town."

"Hyde Beach offers artful mixology and cuisine from Jose Andrés — all in an over 8,000 square-foot indoor/outdoor space with a gorgeous pool and beach access."

"Throughout the late 1960s and early 1970s, in large cities across the United States, children invented a new art form that began by writing their names on the walls of their neighborhoods. Fifty years later, the Graffiti Museum was formed to preserve the history of graffiti and celebrate its emergence in design, fashion, advertising, and galleries. The museum experience includes an indoor exhibition space, eleven outdoor murals, a fine art gallery, and a world-class gift store featuring limited edition merchandise and exclusive items from the world’s most talented graffiti artists."

"New Times isn't crazy about this spot's side practice of selling fine art for profit out of a gallery space on the premises, but the Museum of Graffiti, which opened last year during Art Basel, is still one of Miami's most exciting new art attractions. As the name implies, the Wynwood museum specializes in street art and artists, and it delves into the history of graffiti, its practitioners, and the subculture that grew around it. It's a serious, eye-opening consideration of a long-maligned and frequently outlawed art form that deserves much more respect than it gets."

"Arrive at the de la Cruz Collection ready to learn and explore the expanses of the visual arts. The museum, owned by Cuba natives Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz, is rife with thought-provoking exhibits like the current “Progressive Praxis,” which delves into the implications of technology on contemporary art. The de la Cruz Collection is pleasing to both visitors’ artistic curiosities and their wallets--admission is completely free of charge!"
