Lugares Abiertos de Noche

Australian craft brewery on Alhambra Plaza. House brews, wood-fired food, and a large outdoor terrace perfect for groups.

Legit Neapolitan pizza. Wood-fired, no fuss, at Mary Brickell Village.

Dark bar energy inside, open-air courtyard under the Metromover outside. DJ or live band. Open till 5am.

The best late-night move in SoBe. Tacos at the window, then find the hidden bar through the fake bathroom door.

The Vancouver-born chain's U.S. debut seats 280 across a polished Downtown dining room with a menu that swings from sushi and ceviche to steaks and pasta — anchored by a frozen peach Bellini that went viral after Drake ordered one on camera.

North America's #42 bar and one of the best cocktail rooms in the country. Julio Cabrera's cantinero craft is the main event — tableside mojitos, proper daiquiris, and live trova music every night. Chef Michelle Bernstein's Cuban supper menu makes staying for dinner the only logical move.

Greek seafood and mezze on Giralda Plaza. One of the liveliest terraces in Coral Gables on a warm evening.

Four themed entertainment nights a week — Flamenco Thursdays, Havana Nights Fridays, Salsa Saturdays, Carnaval Sundays. Calle Dragones opened in 2025 and immediately became Little Havana's most ambitious new live entertainment venue.

Mexico's premier immersive saloon makes its U.S. debut in Wynwood with 200-plus guests, communal singing, live musicians, theatrical moments, and mezcal. Thursday through Sunday from 4pm to 3am. Not a dinner restaurant — it's a participatory evening.

Mexican craftsmanship installed at the W Miami — the bar is decorated by master artisans and holds one of the largest tequila and mezcal collections in the city. Live mariachi Monday through Saturday, 'Cantina Sessions' live band Thursday and Saturday, DJ on Friday-Saturday nights. The crowd is there for the spectacle as much as the food.

A Miami landmark since 1977. Casa Juancho's cavernous dining room is dressed in hand-painted tiles and old-world Spanish décor, with a wandering troupe of guitarists serenading tables tableside. The cochinillo and paella are the reasons to come. Closed Monday.

A sprawling 30,000-square-foot Miami River property wrapped in white drapes, designed to feel like a Tulum resort on the water. Fire dancers and deep house set the tone for a see-and-be-seen crowd more invested in the room than the plate — Infatuation rated it 6.3/10 but praised the hummus and arancini.

Coral Gables' only rooftop cocktail bar has had its share of elevator issues, but as of 2026 it's back — and worth the trip. Craft cocktails and raw bar bites above the buzz of Giralda Plaza, with a light breeze and a view that earns every dollar. Open Tuesday–Thursday 5PM–midnight, Friday–Saturday until 1AM.

South-of-France elegance on Brickell Ave. Roving musicians and a street-facing patio that demands attention.

Open-air rooftop with panoramic views. Low-key and social, not bottle-service energy.

Coral Gables' best cocktail bar. Moody copper aesthetic, skillful bartenders, and DJ beats on weekends.

The taco counter that predates most of Wynwood's restaurants opened in 2013 with handmade tortillas and slow-cooked meats and hasn't needed to change the formula since. The mezcal bar behind the walk-in cooler remains the best trick in the neighborhood — ask a local if you can't find the door.

Part museum, part live music venue, part bar. CubaOcho's walls are covered in rare Cuban art and memorabilia collected by founder Roberto Ramos, and the bands that play Fri–Sat are the real thing. Free most nights — just show up, order a mojito, and soak it in.

Old Hollywood by way of Brickell — chandelier-lit, fireplace-warmed, and designed for people who came to be seen eating. Chef Daniel Roy's kitchen plays second fiddle to the nightly live jazz and burlesque, which is exactly the point. Dress for the room.

The Zitz Sum team's casual izakaya. Coral Gables' most exciting 2025 opening — yakitori and Japanese whisky on Giralda.

A sleek 2026 addition to Miami Worldcenter — king crab rolls, wagyu sliders, and craft cocktails in a setting built for the after-work and pre-event crowd that lives in the towers overhead.

A 1950s Havana supper club brought to Calle Ocho, opened November 2025. Retro chrome, Cuban comfort food, and a nostalgia-forward aesthetic that earns its Instagram moments while still delivering a solid plate.

A Dominican-Japanese mashup on Biscayne Blvd that leans into the fusion without apology — plantains alongside soy-glazed proteins, and a DJ crowd after 9pm on weekends. Open until 3am Friday and Saturday for the Edgewater late-night.

Dining inside a National Historic Landmark. The Biltmore's courtyard is one of Miami's most magical settings.

The only authentic German beer hall in Coral Gables. Steins of imported lager, massive pretzels, and a festive beer garden.

Wynwood's first sports bar opened in 2019 and built an identity around the collision of sneaker culture and game day — premium display cases on the walls, 75-plus TVs across three rooms and a covered outdoor tent, and a crowd that comes as much for the atmosphere as the sport. Named Best Sports Bar in Miami by Miami New Times in 2020, 2022, and 2025.

Modern American at CocoWalk with a wide-open 7,400-sq-ft footprint — surf, turf, and sushi under one roof. Happy hour 3-6PM daily, late reverse HH after 10PM. The Grove's liveliest newcomer of 2026.

Old Havana romance on Espanola Way. Fairy lights, mojitos, and live acoustic guitar.

Little Havana's storied Cuban dance club, now owned by Michael Beltran's Ariete Hospitality Group. The couples who have been dancing son cubano and cha-cha here for decades don't leave when new ownership arrives — the floor is still where the magic happens, Fri–Sat salsa nights included.

A basement below Julia & Henry's that might occupy Al Capone's old liquor tunnel — Jolene is the best-programmed late-night room in Downtown Miami. Christine Wiseman's award-winning Bar Lab cocktail menu is the rare nightlife program that's genuinely crafted, and the sound system is worth the cover charge alone.

Four-story food hall anchoring the Flagler Street revival — every floor has something different, and the basement Jolene Sound Room carries the late-night programming after the kitchens close. The rooftop bar is the best post-dinner drink stop in the Downtown core.

Three-story spectacle. Floating bird's nest seating. 300 seats of South Florida's boldest scene dining.

50-seat speakeasy cabaret entered through a back alley door marked 'Shhhhhhh,' behind a bedazzled address plate and a tin trash can (poubelle = French for garbage can). Leopard-print walls, feathered chandeliers, a pianist and Broadway-caliber vocalist Thursday evenings. The Silverlake Bistro kitchen feeds the room.

Miami's most beloved wine bar: 200+ bottles of natural, organic, and biodynamic wine under string lights in a garden that stays crowded every night of the week. Arrive by 6pm or wait for a table. Live music every night 9pm–midnight — jazz, bluegrass, folk — and a cheese and charcuterie board that earns its place. Walk-in only; no reservations.

The Grove's first speakeasy. Retro lounge cocktail party vibes. New in 2025, already essential.

Oaxacan food, live mariachis, and DJ nights. The most festive restaurant on Ponce de Leon — always a party.

Pure Ocean Drive spectacle. Dancers on the bar, live salsa blasting, and tourists loving every second.

Glamorous waterfront steakhouse. Seafood towers, prime cuts, live music, and Biscayne Bay views.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Latin-Spanish supper club at the Miami Beach Edition draws from South America, the Caribbean, and Spain through a wood-burning kitchen. The room has the energy of a 1940s supper club — cocktail program included. Croquetas and the sweet pea guacamole before anything else.

Chef Shimi Alon built the most ambitious Glatt Kosher steakhouse on Kane Concourse — Mediterranean-influenced starters like lamb arais and fish cigars before the bone-in ribeye arrives. Open from 4 PM most nights, later on Saturdays. Patio seating in front.

Where dinner becomes a night out. Bottle service at the table, DJs on the decks, and a crowd dressed to the nines.

A Coconut Grove waterfront institution since 1969. Tiki bar with a boat dock, live reggae nightly, and Pain Removers that have been loosening up sailors for decades. Stone crab, conch fritters, and Old Miami vibes that feel genuinely irreplaceable.

Tel Aviv meets Miami Beach two steps from the ocean. Motek's Eastern Mediterranean kosher-style kitchen makes fresh hummus daily and runs DJ sets on weekends. The arayes burger and whole branzino are the correct orders — the falafel is an argument-settler.

A Latin American bistro-bar hybrid that arrived in Midtown with an international playbook — antipasti, flatbreads, and burgers alongside a Nikkei sushi bar doing ceviches and rolls. Craft Negroni variations are the throughline, and weekend DJs push it into late-night territory. Good for everything from a quick lunch to a post-dinner cocktail.

The people-watching capital of SoBe. Open 24/7 with a front-row seat to the Ocean Drive show.

Nobu Matsuhisa's legendary Japanese fusion has been the Eden Roc's anchor restaurant for decades. The black cod miso and yellowtail jalapeño remain the two-dish shorthand for Miami's Japanese dining scene. Still delivers, still packs the room.

Weathered walls, rotating live acts, and a crowd that's half Calle Ocho regulars and half tourists who stumbled in and stayed all night. Order a strong mojito, find a spot near the band, and let the music do the rest.

Historic fire station turned nightlife destination. Relaxed lunches and remote work by day; Brickell's favorite unwind spot by night.

The most incongruous bar in Downtown Miami — real honky-tonk energy on Flagler Street, with cowboy boots, country music, and a crowd that's genuinely having a good time. The $2 oyster happy hour (daily 5–7 PM) is the city's least expected seafood deal.

Drag queens, Ocean Drive views, and a crowd that's there to celebrate. The most joyful patio in SoBe.

Warm Colombian kitchen and bar that runs until 3am on weekends with live music and a loyal neighborhood crowd. The bandeja paisa is the main event; order the antojitos sampler while you decide. Loud, social, and genuinely festive.

James Beard-winning chef Paul Qui's modern Asian inside Faena's gold dome — Filipino, Spanish, Japanese, and French influences converging under a Damien Hirst golden unicorn. The Unicorn dish is the required order. Live music Friday and Saturday from 7 PM.

Rò is ViCa Hospitality's (Cienfuegos, 130° Steakhouse — Mérida, Mexico) U.S. debut inside Alhambra Tower, and Head Chef Marcelo Palacios, who came from Prime 112, gives it real credentials. It's an Italian-American steakhouse format with Mexican flavor accents — a combination that sounds confused but, by most accounts, delivers. Friday DJ nights make it the most energized steakhouse on the Miracle Mile corridor.

Tropical party vibes. Weekend nightlife at Mary Brickell Village.

Fifty years on the Rickenbacker and the skyline view still stops people mid-sentence. Come for the Chilean sea bass and the Seafood Tower, stay for the golden hour over downtown Miami that no other dining room can match.

Mexican pop-culture party bar. Nostalgic music, heartfelt vibes, open 'til 3 AM.

Two-for-one happy hour runs until 7 PM, free salsa lessons start after that, and the dance floor doesn't cool down until well past midnight. The most fun you'll have on Calle Ocho for under $20.

The companion bar to Meraki Greek Bistro is, improbably, where the best dollar-per-drink deal in all of Downtown lives — $1 draft beer shots, $12 pitchers, $5 Moscow mules. Daily 4–7 PM happy hour, DJ on weekends, and a terrace that fills up fast.

The beloved dive bar that keeps Coral Gables humble. Karaoke three nights a week and the cheapest drinks in the neighborhood.

Seasonal American with no dish over 475 calories. Popular with the health-conscious Coral Gables lunch crowd.

Surfside's adults-only rooftop pool bar — 360° views of the Atlantic and the Miami Beach skyline, signature cocktails, and light fare. Open late on weekends. The quieter, more affordable alternative to the St. Regis pool scene one block north.

Day-party energy by the pool — matches on the big screen with a DJ.

The world's coastlines meet in North Beach. Serene garden setting with remarkable sushi.

Singing, dancing, laughing, drinking. The crowd IS the entertainment. Open till 3-4am.

Little Havana's only rooftop bar, with sweeping views of the neighborhood and the Brickell skyline. DJ sets on Fri–Sat, craft cocktails every night, and a rare vantage point for a part of Miami that doesn't usually look like this from above.

Drinking inside a National Historic Landmark. The Biltmore's vaulted bar is the most atmospheric room in Coral Gables.

Bal Harbour's only live music venue — jazz and contemporary sets Thursday through Saturday from 7 PM. A sommelier-guided glass-enclosed Wine Vault holds the rarest bottles. Hand-crafted cocktails, world-class champagnes, and the quietest luxury bar on Collins.

Miami's oldest liquor license, now run by Ariete Hospitality Group. The Taurus Burger and wood-fired wings keep the food honest; 2-for-1 well drinks from 5 to 8PM keeps the crowd happy. Tuesday trivia and Thursday comedy round out the week.

Four hours of happy hour daily (5–9 PM) with $5 beer, $7 mixed drinks, and $9 cocktails — the most generous window in the Flagler District. The neon-tropical décor is designed for the camera, and the Friday and Saturday DJ sets reward those who stay past midnight.

The kind of seafood house that hasn't changed its formula since 1992 because it doesn't need to — white tablecloths, live piano nightly, and Florida stone crab claws trap-to-table in 24 hours during season. The wine list has earned awards; the service has earned regulars.

A 9,000-square-foot rooftop sanctuary on the 9th floor of the Gale Hotel — reclaimed wood, fire pits, bonsai gardens, koi ponds, and a wraparound bar with a miniature Japanese temple replica. The 100-year-old LA landmark's first East Coast outpost delivers Japanese fusion with panoramic Downtown Miami skyline views.
