Miami by Neighbourhood

South Beach

The iconic strip runs from 5th to 17th Street on Ocean Drive. Bars here lean towards late-night energy: craft cocktail spots tucked behind neon-lit storefronts, hotel rooftops, and beachside lounges that stay open until 5am on weekends. Worth arriving after 10pm when the crowd shifts from tourists to locals who know where to go.

Brickell

Miami's financial district transforms after 5pm into one of the city's best after-work bar scenes. Mary Brickell Village packs in professionals who work in the glass towers above. The bars here are polished, the drinks well-made, and the rooftop views unbeatable.

Wynwood

The art district crowd skews younger and more eclectic. Bars here don't need views or hotel cachet to pull customers. The scene runs along NW 2nd Avenue and 26th Street, with neighbourhood bars, craft breweries, and hidden courtyard spots mixed in among the galleries.

Little Havana

Calle Ocho is unlike anywhere else in the US bar scene. Cuban rum bars, salsa venues, and spots where the bar staff makes mojitos from scratch with fresh sugarcane. Best on a Friday or Saturday evening when the street fills up.

Design District and Edgewater

A quieter but increasingly interesting scene. High-end cocktail bars have moved in alongside the galleries and showrooms. Less crowded than South Beach, more grown-up than Wynwood.
