Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Sweetwater

"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. Area 31’s 16th-floor lounge may not technically be on the roof, but its view of Downtown is hard to beat. A photo op here is one you'll be tempted to caption with “I live where you vacation,” but don't be that guy."

"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. This Brickell hotspot can have a line out the door on weekend nights and Friday happy hour. Brave that line and you’ll be rewarded with 360-views of the city (40 floors up!), pricey (but tasty) cocktails and a swank crowd."

"More of a Balinese garden than a bar, Sugar takes rooftop aesthetics to a whole new level. With 40th-floor views (from the EAST, Miami hotel), soothing decor, and dangerously strong lychee martinis, and tasty tapas, making an evening at Sugar is an exotic departure from the Miami norm.

"Miami’s buzziest rooftop bar, located on the 40th floor of EAST hotel, rocks a menu of Asian-inspired cocktails and small plates and the best view in town. 788 Brickell Plaza #40Miami, FL 33131+1-786-805-4655"

"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."

"The lush, tropical outdoor bar at Freehand Miami feels like a club for sophisticated adults. Excellent cocktails (including fun, large-format options) and a lively poolside scene make this the spot to hang when in town. 2727 Indian Creek Dr.Miami Beach, FL 33140+1-305-531-2727"

"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."

"CVI.CHE 105 Invites you to enjoy the most exquisite traditional peruvian dishes in a modern presentation, in a chilled and pleasant environment where excellent food and great service are combined in order to make your lunch or dinner an enjoyable experience."

"Restaurants Vietnamese Little River. The classic Vietnamese sandwich is executed to perfection at Tran An, but you won’t get charged extra for the gourmet quality. At $9, it’s a pretty massive sandwich stuffed with two kinds of house-made pork (pork roll and roasted), pâté, maggi butter, cucumbers and pickled slaw."

"Soup, and pho in particular, is almost indistinguishable in its delivery format from when you eat it in the restaurant. And though you may not have hit up this Vietnamese stand at Politan row, now’s the time to try it with a hot bowl of steaming chicken pho, and maybe some shrimp chips to throw in there.Cost: $15; order online or through DoorDash"
