A Night Out in the Wynwood Arts District

Wynwood is one of Greater Miami and Miami Beach’s best neighborhoods for nightlife. The destination’s bar scene is constantly reinventing itself with new places to discover alongside longtime favorites. Whether you’re in the mood for a creative cocktail, craft beer, chill vibes or a high-energy dance party, Wynwood is where Miami loves to party.

Dante’s HiFi

Billed as a “vinyl listening bar,” Dante’s HiFi is a sophisticated den for music and cocktails. In addition to top-shelf spirits, the wall behind the bar is lined with nearly 10,000 vinyl records from the personal library of the bar’s music director, DJ Rich Medina. Slightly off the beaten path on Northwest Fifth Avenue, the speakeasy-style lounge is outfitted in comfortable tobacco-toned leather sofas and barstools. Guests are encouraged to sit back and relax while listening to sets by globally recognized DJs and musicians through a state-of-the-art sound system.

R House

R House is a world-renowned destination for raucous weekend drag brunches and late-night shows attended by celebrities. There’s never a dull moment at this gay entertainment mecca, from Friday night’s Yas Queen drag show to special events, including drag bingo, live music and happy hour. Chef Rocco’s menu features Latin-inspired favorites with a playful cocktail menu, including the signature Dirty Pop Espresso Martini, made with Stoli Vodka or Old Forester Bourbon, caramel, cold brew espresso, chocolate bitters and a caramel corn basket. You’re guaranteed a wild time.

MAD Club and MAD Live

For a party that goes later than any other in Wynwood, head to MAD Club. Featuring dancing until dawn (it’s open until 5 a.m.), DJs alternate between hip-hop, reggaeton and electronic music keeping the crowd grooving. Adjacent sister club Mad Live routinely hosts major acts, from Markus Shulz to Cedric Gervais.

Sala de Despecho

The same hospitality group behind MAD Club and MAD Live introduced Mexico’s Sala de Despecho to Wynwood. A popular party dedicated to Latin pop and heartbreak sing-a-longs, expect a high-energy crowd and sparkler-laden dance floor fueled by tequila and some of the best tacos in town.

Cerveceria La Tropical

Cerveceria La Tropical is a modern-day revival of one of Cuba’s oldest breweries originally established in 1888. Set in an inviting indoor-outdoor space with tapas-inspired bites and live music, it’s a popular casual spot – day or night. Choose from brews including La Original, an amber lager that's handcrafted and brewed in Miami, and Nativo Key, a suave IPA. 

Casa La Rubia

Casa La Rubia is the result of the merger of Wynwood’s pioneering brewery Wynwood Brewing with Brazilian brewery, Veza Sur. It’s a fantastic place to sample a whole range of creative brews. The signature Brazilian-style chopp is a must. This ice-cold lager is a shorter pour with a creamy, thick foam top designed for a perfectly refreshing brew. You can also sample Wynwood Brewing classics, from La Rubia to Pop’s Porter, Lulo Sour and Father Francisco – all of which are brewed on-site. There’s also creative cocktails, Latin-inspired dishes and theme nights, ranging from salsa dancing to game night.

1-800-LUCKY

1-800-LUCKY is a Wynwood hot spot that’s become a neighborhood classic. The massive indoor-outdoor Asian food hall slings everything from bao buns to dim sum, along with craft cocktails until the wee hours. It draws a hip crowd craving late-night DJ beats in the courtyard with a side of sushi or poke bowls. There’s also a private karaoke room.

Grails

For a sporty night out, pop into Grails to catch the game on one of 70 different TVs. This buzzy sneaker-themed sports bar and restaurant focuses on local beers, handcrafted cocktails and tasty bar bites. It also embraces art with a lounge, featuring rare sneakers and one-of-a-kind artwork. There’s even a signature Grails sneaker vessel in which they serve specialty drinks alongside other sports-inspired cocktails.

Second Saturdays Art Walk

Wynwood’s street art and gallery scene put the neighborhood on the map, and the Second Saturdays Art Walk is a fun night to come out and explore once again. Art aficionados and revelers alike descend on the neighborhood to visit galleries, enjoy live music, explore outdoor markets and pop around food trucks and local bars.
