Jaguar Sun

This downtown haunt is home to amazing cocktails, delicious pastas, raw-bar options, and fluffy Parker House rolls that taste like pillows from heaven. Owners Will Thompson and Carey Hynes moved to Miami in 2018 to open a chic tropical bar that was an instant hit with locals. It remains a perfect spot for first dates, martinis with friends after (or during) a long week, and pre-Miami Heat game cocktails and bites. Their motto is, "If you come for the cocktails and stay for the food — great. And if you come for the food and stay for the cocktails — great!" Reservations for the dining room are highly suggested, but the bar area is where the real party is to be found. Always check out the "Freak of the Week'' section of the menu, where you'll find the featured specialty cocktail. Note to newcomers: Jaguar Sun is located inside the X Miami building on NE Fourth Street; it's accessible via a side door on the breezeway that runs alongside the Metromover, appropriately marked with an arrow sign that reads "COCKTAILS."
230 NE Fourth St., Miami, 33132
