The Bank

Why do they call it The Bank? Because this spacious, opulent, 4 room nightclub is housed in what used to be an actual bank, the Meyer Kiser to be exact. Between the Roman columns, and marble walls, this modern nightclub for the moneyed, and those who aspire to be, contains beautiful, luxurious appointments. Modern twists […]

The Bar at the Yard

Though it’s just one part of a larger complex, the Bar at the Doral Yard has its own personality. The large wooden bar serves as both the focal point of the Doral Yard and a gathering place for locals to chill on plush, oversized barstools. The cocktails are well-thought-out and tap into local flavors like […]

Bar Kaiju

Make your way to the mezzanine of the Citadel food hall, and you’ll find a dim, red-backlit bar – and one of the most inspired cocktail menus in Miami.

Bar Nancy

Bar Nancy in Little Havana sports rustic, nautical-inspired decor and a healthy selection of craft cocktails.

The Bar

Barracuda Taphouse & Grill

Barracuda is more than your average neighborhood bar and grill. This pink-hued bar, located on a side street in Coconut Grove, has been around since 1995.

Basement Miami

The Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” and John Travolta in flared pants — that’s what comes to mind when you hear the word “disco.” But even though platform shoes and sequined jumpsuits were the craze in the ’70s, Basement Miami has a different take on discotheque culture. Owned by Ian Schrager — the cofounder of quintessential […]

The Bay Club

Right next to popular South Beach pizza joint Lucali, you’ll find the cozy and quaint Bay Club.

The cocktails are as fun and creative or as […]

Better Days

Brickell’s best-known dive bar, Better Days, is one of those “anything goes” spots that’s great for happy hour or that very last drink of the night. While there’s no formal cocktail menu, the bartenders are ready and willing to make whatever is requested – though tequila shots are a fan favorite. The dark, cozy space […]
