ABOUT
Rácket is more akin to a South Beach lounge than a Wynwood bar. Its large, industrial layout fits three stylish bars, an upstairs lounge and covered open-air seating. When it comes to nightlife, Rácket covers all the bases: Shoot pool, watch the game, have a bite and enjoy a cocktail while the sun’s still out, or pop in after midnight for bottle service, a DJ and a jam-packed dance floor.

ABOUT
A new center of graveness on North Miami Avenue, the Oasis swung for the walls when it opened as a mongrel inner/ out-of-door bar, club, music venue and food hall. With multiple areas to cotillion , chesterfield in the turf, snare drinks or grub and vibe out, it’s an ideal spot for groups. Check the events schedule for weekends and late nights, when the Oasis can get swarmed. Anchorpeople like Tiesto and Honey Dijon have formerly graced the stage, and Travis Scott hosted his Rolling Loud after- party then.
ABOUT
This beer-and-wine bar’s live jazz, warm bistro lighting and clashing furnishings will charm your socks off, if the convenience of drinking here doesn’t do you in first. Roll deep with no concern for seating or check drama: Tables are first come, first served, and you pay your bill up front at the counter when you order. Couples, head to the inside area for some privacy, live music and the booze fridge. Are you with your crew and need more room? Make a beeline for the large, ramshackle yard, where you can spread out for a lively convo.
ABOUT
The stunning, emerald-green bar at the Four Seasons in Surfside unapologetically embraces the finer things in life, like gilded bellini carts and expertly mixed cocktails that will set you back at least one Jackson. Not many places give such attention to detail, and everything that hits the glass has been crafted in-house, from the juices and the syrups to the bitters and the tinctures. Cheers to the good life—and the Taco Bell you’ll be eating all week to pay for your round of drinks at this truly sublime place.

ABOUT
Coyo Taco’s Alan Drummond and Sven Vogtland are behind this 10,000 square foot indoor/outdoor complex. In addition to Wynwood’s only record store, Lucky Records, 1-800-Lucky is home to an Asian marketplace with seven different food vendors serving various cuisine—from Chinese barbecue to fish-shaped ice cream cones. 1-800-Lucky also has a karaoke bar and a small theater available for private events. Oh, and don't forget the onsite convenience store, which sells all your basic gas station needs: cigarettes, Red Bull, etc.

ABOUT
An unlikely proposition in downtown’s 24-hour club district, The Corner somehow holds its own against E11EVEN and the other neighboring giants. The dark, smoky space is meant for folks who’d rather sip a craft beer or cocktail huddled at one of its wooden bistro tables than drop cash on bottle service. So, save your money and enjoy the free Tuesday night jazz and discounted drinks during the 4–8pm weekday happy hour or put your loot toward one of the many killer pop-up eateries they’ve been hosting lately.

ABOUT
Tucked away down a short staircase that’s off the Stiles Hotel lobby, Swizzle thrives in a quiet, sexy space away from noisy Collins Avenue. Evoking the feel of a small wooden pirate ship, the dark, narrow room is lined with more than 150 rums. Want to get two, maybe three sheets to the wind? Be warned: The beautiful, smooth-tasting cocktails are highly potent. Cozy up with your main squeeze at the tiny bar or nab some nearby high-tops for your girls’ night out.
Drink this: Mamey Swizzle
ABOUT
Decked out in Americana, this saloon’s atmosphere is casual and sporty, but the beverage program is working overtime, proffering microbrews, craft cocktails and rare spirits. Drink up over a game of darts or pool, then relax on one of the mismatched chairs that surround the ornamental upright piano. It’s a snug, vintage vibe with better gin-and-tonics than you could ever mix up in your living room.
ABOUT
Dante’s is an off-the-beaten-path speakeasy inspired by the high-fidelity listening rooms of Japan. The space is small and dark, with floor-to-ceiling curtains keeping the acoustics crisp and the mood sexy. The most prominent feature of Dante’s is its wall of vinyl records numbering in the tens of thousands (the personal collection of the bar’s music director, DJ Rich Medina). Come to Dante’s for great cocktails and exceptional music in a more laid-back, loungey setting.
ABOUT
ABOUT
Anthony Bourdain claimed this iconic dive as his ultimate Miami retreat, and he’s not alone. After more than 50 years in the business, this South Beach institution still packs in the locals with an impossible-to-beat BOGO happy hour that runs every day from 8am (seriously) to 7pm. You’ll want to bring cash to the no-frills spot, where smoking is still allowed but credit cards are not.
ABOUT
ABOUT
An impeccably styled hotel lobby minus the baggage or rooms; a coworking space with great coffee, sans most forms of work; a vibey pool party scene without the pool. In some ways, it’s easier to define the 4,000 square-foot Freehold by what it’s not than what it is. Luckily, the hip Brooklyn import pulls off its many looks thanks to its solid cocktail program, standout pizza (Anthony Falco of Roberta’s fame is behind the menu, so you know it’s good), disco-heavy DJ-spun tunes and regular events like trivia, live comedy, happy hours and more.
ABOUT
Off Site is a minimalistic nanobrewery in Little River where the menu offerings are few but what does make it into your mouth is always fantastic. From the drinks to the food (do not sleep on the corn dogs), you’ll find nearly everything at Off Site is house-made—and what’s not has been impeccably curated to make you happy. A brewpub for chill locals and industry folks, Off Site also hosts wine tastings, live music and pop-ups from some of the city’s best.

ABOUT
The recently expanded Anderson holds it down with a seasonally rotating menu, multiple themed spots to hang both indoors and out, free live jazz on Sunday nights and an incomparable Brooklyn-meets-Vegas aesthetic in full effect. For a little Mexican flair, the El Toro Taco truck out back is ready to take your order, and the weekday 5–8pm happy hour boasts half-off all drinks. Sounds like the ideal dinner to us.
Video By: Ball & Chain
ABOUT
Today’s Ball & Chain on Calle Ocho recreates a 1930s hotspot that once occupied the same space and welcomed jazz superstars like Billie Holiday, Count Basie and Chet Baker to its stage. With a beverage program created by the top mixologists at the Regent Cocktail Club, daily live music, salsa dance lessons and a storied outdoor stage in the shape of a giant pineapple, Ball & Chain makes for a lively night out no matter the occasion.

Find this quiet speakeasy by weaving your way through the ground floor of Española Way’s stunning new boutique hotel, the Esmé Miami Beach. Like the rest of the hotel, El Salón’s attention to detail has a transportive effect. Plush booth seating, ceramic tile, natural stone countertops and wooded ceilings make this cocktail bar the ideal spot for an intimate date or decadent nightcap. El Salón also creates its own nuanced spirit blends and serves up an extensive list of simple, refined cocktails from its tiny bar.
