Lush South Beach

It’s a hole-in-the-wall bar hidden in plain sight between an alley and the World Erotic Art Museum. Lush’s motto is “day care for drunks,” and it offers a pool table, jukebox, and beer bongs to prove it. There’s no cover charge, dress code, or typical South Beach attitude. Here you will find a place to […]

Mac’s Club Deuce

One of the few remaining dive bars in Miami Beach (and one of the oldest), Mac’s Club Deuce is the seaside town’s definitive spot to drink, feed the jukebox, and shoot pool. Not much has changed inside this legendary establishment, which opened in 1926. Find a selection of craft and domestic beers and enough hard […]

Magnum Lounge

With its red-lit interior, lounge atmosphere, and American cuisine, nowhere else says old-time Miami quite like Magnum. This classic bar and restaurant is located on the 79th Street Causeway and is known as a hot spot for older gay gentlemen. When Liza Minnelli and Nina Simone aren’t blasting over the speakers, a live crooner and […]

Mama Tried

Mama Tried is a homage to the 1970s, an era when carpeting and red velvet were considered the height of chic. This is a drinker’s bar, and it’s designed as such. The windows are heavily tinted. Spherical copper lamps hang above a wooden U-shaped bar flanked by green banquettes, and the only other piece of […]

Mamey on 3rd

Located on the rooftop of Niven Patel’s Mamey Miami, Mamey on 3rd is a tropical oasis that serves Caribbean-inspired cocktails and bites.

Mango’s Tropical Cafe

Anyone who’s visited South Beach has, at the very least, walked past Mango’s Tropical Cafe, famed for its exotic tropical atmosphere and lively dance shows that feature Cuban conga, Brazilian samba, and other Latin styles. Mango’s, though, is even more famous for its supersized, tropical-themed cocktails. Served in souvenir glasses, most are offered in 15-, […]

Martini Bar

Elegantly renovated to its 1939 glory (and then some), the National Hotel is home to a quaint and cozy imbibing den, Martini Bar. Here, the National’s original marble flooring anchors an intimate, Gatsbyesque space that – in authentic Gatsby fashion – offers views of the property’s infinity pool. Soak up the decadent vibe as you […]

Mayami Wynwood

Mayami, located in the heart of trendy Wynwood, is the newest Mexican-themed cantina and bar to land in Miami. Brought to life by the team behind El Patio Wynwood, this 10,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor restaurant and lounge is designed to transport guests to Mexico through its breathtaking Mayan Revival-inspired architecture. Plentiful multilevel outdoor seating pairs well with […]

Medium Cool Cocktail Lounge

Plenty of places on South Beach lay claim to “cool” status, so you have to hand it to a joint that classifies itself as merely “medium cool.” Located in the subterranean space once occupied by the dear-departed Rec Room (ah, nostalgia!), this lounge oozes sophisticated ’70s Miami glam. Once you make it past the velvet […]

Mezcalista

The first resort-style property for Marriott’s Moxy brand, the eight-story Moxy Miami South Beach evokes mid-century Havana with a touch of contemporary Mexico City and a tropical vibrancy that is unmistakably Miami. Among the hotel’s many drinking and dining options, Mezcalista stands out. The sexy lounge is hidden at the back of the Como seafood […]

Miami Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theater

Once located in Coconut Grove and now delivering the laughs out west in Doral, this casual-upscale comedy club and dinner theater features national touring acts and local talent. There’s a bar with a good liquor selection plus domestic and imported beers. Every show comes with a two-drink minimum that is strictly enforced. The dress code […]

Miami Mojito Company

A well-kept secret doesn’t stay that way for long, which explains why so many people know how to find Wynwood’s newest hidden tiki bar. The clandestine beach-themed place popped up in December 2016 for Art Basel, but creator Cesar Morales – the owner of Wood Tavern and Bar Next Door – never closed the doors. […]

Miami Sound Bar

This Magic City listening lounge rocks a U.K.-made, Japan-customized sound system that’ll make audiophiles swoon. Kick back under the moody lighting while DJs spin vinyl from their massive collection. Sip the “1858,” made with Japanese vermouth and sweet potato shochu, or cool down with a “Blind Melon,” a zippy mix of tequila, ancho verde, and […]
