Best Places to Go for Cocktails in Wynwood

One of Greater Miami & Miami Beach’s fastest growing neighborhoods, Wynwood is best known for its mural-covered walls, fun nightlife and great restaurants. Wander the streets of this walkable area and you’ll find something to do and see on every corner – including a ton of awesome spots for grabbing a cocktail and hanging out.

From a chic wood-fired restaurant to a spot known for its animated drag shows, these are the best places to go for cocktails in Wynwood.

Dante’s HiFi

For chill vibes and a DJ that spins only vinyls, head to Dante’s HiFi. This is Miami’s first listening bar (now there are quite a few in the city) inspired by bars found all over Tokyo.

While there’s a full bar, the cocktail menu highlights highballs made with Japanese whiskey and seasonal signature drinks made with a Miami flair that change regularly.

Reservations are highly recommended.

R House

If you want your cocktails to come with a show, R House is the place to be. Home to one of Miami’s most popular drag shows, this lively spot features weekly brunches and After Dark shows every Friday and Saturday with bottle service (complete with massive sparklers) and fun cocktails.

Sip on the Madam Butterfly made with Ford’s gin, marmalade honey, lavender soda, butterfly flower and citrus. Afterward, try the Pink Pony Negroni made with ATIAN Rose gin, Martini & Rossi Rubino, strawberry and of course, a bit of pink shimmer.

Even without a show, the vibes are always high at R House.

Wynwood Marketplace

Filled with food vendors, local artisans and family-friendly activities, Wynwood Marketplace is built in and around shipping containers with a large bar in the middle and a few satellite bars around it.

Grab a cold beer or a refreshing cocktail to cool down while you browse and shop or snag a seat in one of the lounge areas and enjoy the people watching.

This outdoor marketplace started as a pop-up during event season and on weekends. It has quickly transformed into a destination of its own.

Savage Labs

A hidden gem slightly off the beaten path, Savage Labs is a drinking den worth seeking out. This dimly lit bar hosts an array of events, game nights and nightly live music. One step inside and you’ll feel like you’re in someone’s oversized home office with bookshelves filled with books, knick-knacks, board games and art.

The cocktails here are expertly prepared by friendly bartenders. They serve an amazing espresso martini (and can make all your cocktail dreams come true).

Le Chick

Le Chick is one of those places that features a killer happy hour but also knows how to party late into the night. Pop in to take advantage of $7 drinks like a Mezcalrita or a Gold Rush made with Jim Beam Black, lemon and honey from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. Indulge in Le Chick’s popular signature cocktail, Tsar Coffee, which is made with Beluga Gold vodka, Mr. Black and Panther Coffee espresso.

KYU

KYU is one of Wynwood’s first higher-end dining spots. While known for its Asian wood-fired barbeque dishes like roasted cauliflower and duck burnt ends, the cocktail offerings here are certainly not to be missed.

The seasonal drinks change often, but you can count on them having some form of Asian inspiration, local ingredients and an impressive presentation. Looking to imbibe, but want to skip the alcohol? KYU always features a no-ABV section in its menu filled with tasty creations sans booze.

Grails Miami

If you’re a fan of sports and sneakers, then Grails Miami is an absolute must-visit. This spot is known for its ever-changing Miami-inspired murals, elevated bar food and cocktails served out of porcelain sneakers.

Their signature Satisfy Your Sole cocktail is made with Deep Eddy vodka, watermelon, lemon verbena, ginger and lime, then topped off with Topo-Chico for a refreshing fizz.

Grails is a major hot spot for any kind of sporting game, match or fight being aired – and with 80-plus televisions, you’ll always have a good angle.
