Key Biscayne: Rumbar

Copy Link

Channeling circa 1940, Rumbar brings Old Havana to Key Biscayne. With an extensive list of over 85 varieties of rum coupled with live, Latin music each weekend you may just feel like you've been transported all the way to Cuba.

South Beach: Repour Cocktail Bar

Copy Link

Repour doesn't waste your time with classic cocktails you can get at a hundred different bars. Instead in your drink you'll find things like Bird Chile Syrup, Anchovy Paste, Red Wine Reduction and maybe even a Miso Spiced Rim. With a rotating cocktail list each month there's always an excuse to stubble back. That, and becoming the Drunken Spelling Bee champion. ( $10 says drunk-you can't spell Chateauneuf-du-Pape.)
