I’ve been to Miami a couple of times for both work (tough gig!) and on holiday. The following is a list of places I’d recommend checking out!
Hotels
- Fontainebleau Miami Beach is Miami old school. Great hotel, right by the beach with some decent pools and bars!
Bars
- À la Folie Café relaxed little French style bistro. Not eaten here, but good for a drink!
- Sweet Liberty Drinks and Supply Company cool bar that does amazing cocktails. Again, not eaten here, but the food looks good!
- Lost City Brewing Company Brewery with a great set of beers on tap.
- Epoca Brewing another little brew bar just opposite Lost City. Great selection of beers and cool outdoor patio. Also has a food truck onsite
- Flight Wine Lounge and Shop cool little wine bar. Nice selection of wines, and also do small plates to keep you going!
- OFF SITE Nano Brewery another brewery! Great beer, and also some amazing food - think wings, hot dogs, burgers etc!
- Over Under chilled bar with good happy hour. Wet Martini is also pretty good (and lethal)
- Cerveceria La Tropical yes, another brewery! Large brewery and garden in Wynwood. Great beer and atmosphere.
- BRIX Wine Boutique & Charcuterie Bar love little wine bar, good selection of wine and tasty Charcuterie!
- Casa La Rubia and one final brewery! Latin style beers and setting. Giant jenga on the patio, and cool food truck for tasty fried chicken!
- Gramps nice (dive) bar in Wynwood. Good beers and delicious pizza by the slice to keep you going!
Food
- Smith & Wollensky one of the best locations of all of the US locations of this amazing steak chain. Do ask for a table outside by the water! Tasty food, amazing cocktails and a great wine selection.
- Tropezón Miami is a great little tapas restaurant. The food is amazing. The service so welcoming. The cocktails are lethal!
- Big Pink great retro diner for breakfast (or probably any other meal)
- American Social large gastro pub with nice patio that is just adjacent to the river. Nice beers and food.
- Joia Beach very cool beachfront hangout. Cool bar, tasty food. Need to book - make sure you go!
- Bodega Taqueria y Tequila great tacos spot! Open until the early hours as well!
- Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop great bakery with amazing pies, cheesecakes and cookies! Open until 11pm, so great for a mid drink sweet treat!
