This small, second-floor bar inside the Citadel food hall serves up quirky, monster-themed cocktails under moody, dimly-lit red neon lights. Sip on beverages like the King Kong, made with rum, sherry, oleo, and clarified fruit, or the Bigfoot, a whiskey-infused chocolate-flavored cocktail.

The new third-floor outdoor bar inside the Arlo Wynwood hotel is led by none other than the Bar Lab Miami team, who are widely credited for helping put South Florida on the cocktail map. It serves as the perfect spot to begin or end the evening in the lively neighborhood.

One of Miami Beach’s top cocktail spots, Swizzle Rum Bar and Drinkery, has expanded its footprint with Delirio Tiki Pool Bar by Swizzle. Located inside the same hotel that houses Swizzle, it offers a variety of tiki-inspired cocktails with Central and South American flavor influences set against a laidback tropical poolside patio.

Little Havana’s first and only rooftop bar is back after a long hiatus. First debuting just weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic shut all restaurants and bars down nationwide, the lush tropical bar and restaurant is back with a brand new drink and all-day food menu. Sip on cocktails like the herb-filled gin and tonic or the rum-based old fashioned while dining on bar bites like black bean dip and chicken tacos.

This new rooftop Brickell bar from two longtime Miami nightlife pros features panoramic views of the Miami skyline, colorful cocktails, tapas-style bites, and a large music lineup.

John Martin’s, one of South Florida’s longest-running restaurants and bars, has reopened its doors with a new look and new ownership after shuttering nearly three years ago during the COVID-19 pandemic. The space still features plenty of its original architectural elements. Still, it showcases a black-and-white color scheme, a new indoor “garden,” and a moss-covered brick wall bordered by portraits of the founders.  An extensive menu of spirits, including more than 300 types of whiskey, as well as beers, wines, seltzers, champagne, and specialty cocktails such as the Shamrock Shake and the Miracle Mile Margarita, can be found on the menu.

The wine pros at Key Biscayne’s Vinya Market have debuted their latest spot: Vinya Table in Coral Gables. While there is plenty of food to be had, winos can choose from an extensive by-the-glass program or drink one of its creative cocktails like the Chin Chin Tonic made with Tanqueray 10, lime peel, Chinola drizzle, tonic, parsley, and dill.

Almost seven years after legendary South Miami bar Fox’s Sherron Inn closed its doors, the beloved dive bar and restaurant has returned to the Magic City, complete with new owners but the same look and feel as the original. The menu remains mainly untouched with the return of favorites like Tuesday and Thursday Prime Rib nights, thumb bits (tenderloin medallions served on toasted French baguette rounds with Fox’s special sauce), and the beloved French onion soup. And the cocktails are simple, strong, and served cold — just how any true Fox’s fan would remember.
