Margot Natural Wine Bar

Situated in Downtown Miami in a space bathed in the blush hues of a perfect Miami sunset, Margot Natural Wine Bar is the latest creation from the Bar Lab team that brought creative craft cocktails to Miami Beach with the Broken Shaker. At Margot, they’ve expanded their palette to the natural wine movement with a rotating selection of international, organic, biodynamic natural wines, which pair perfectly with a selection of small plates. Sticking to their cocktail roots, they’ve also created a menu of wine cocktails and low ABV concoctions.

Lagniappe House

Lagniappe House is a New Orleans-inspired wine bar and live music venue off the beaten path in Midtown where you can choose from more than 150 bottles of wine at retail price and then build your own cheese and charcuterie plates from their indoor shop. Then, grab a table in the sprawling outdoor patio where a barbecue grills up everything from vegetables to steak and shrimp. It’s the perfect place to break bread and drink with friends in a convivial atmosphere. It’s also one of the best spots in Miami to enjoy jazz music nightly.
