Neighborhood: South Beach

1710 Alton Rd. Miami Beach, FL 33139

In 2024, four local hospitality veterans teamed up to open a much-needed neighborhood bar in the upper-left-hand corner of South Beach in 2024. Named after the first-ever episode of Miami Vice, the retro-inspired spot is the perfect blend of kitsch and substance, with an inventive food menu that features options like bacon-wrapped dates with valdeón cheese, jumbo crab cakes, and jerk wings "that beat Bobby Flay." The cocktails are just as inventive. Don’t miss the Instagram-famous "Bread Service Martini," made with vodka, gin, and olive oil and served with a mini croissant on the side, and the "Apricot & Strawberry Junglebird," which marries dark rum with Campari.
