Miami's Singles Scene

Greater Miami & Miami Beach has a bustling social scene, making it an exciting place for single people. If you embrace the vibrant energy and social spirit of the area, there are plenty of ways to meet and mingle with Miami singles who share your same interests.

Best Dance Spots For Meeting Other Singles

When the energy is right for dancing, who knows who you can meet? There’s no “one size fits all” for dance clubs in Miami.

They run the gamut, from classic Little Havana salsa clubs and bars with DJs blasting Latin fusion beats to lounges with professional samba dancers and, of course, the mega-clubs that make Miami famous.

Iconic spaces like LIV at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel in Mid Beach and BÂOLI in South Beach promise people-watching, tasty drinks, DJs and the best in Miami fashion (bonus: Bâoli offers a tempting dinner menu, too).

You’ll also want to check out Mango’s Tropical Cafe and Do Not Sit on the Furniture, also in South Beach, for an electrifying night out.

For salsa and timba, head to Hoy Como Ayer, a staple for Cuban dancing in Miami since 1999. Every weekend, locals and musicians pack the dance floor on Latin Fever Fridays and Sabrosura Saturdays to shake it off to Latin hits played by a live orchestra.

In Wynwood, join trendier crowds dancing to reggaetón, bachata and Afro-Latin beats on El Patio's colorful, open-air dance floor.

For a truly unique experience, grab a handsome stranger and dance the night away at Cubaocho Museum & Performing Arts Center – it’s a museum that’s part bar, part music venue and filled with vintage Cuban art, aged rum bottles and authentic Havana vibes.

Top Bars And Lounges For Meeting People

If it’s a slower evening and meeting folks for a beer or craft cocktail is more your scene, visit one of many lounges and bars in Miami.

In Coral Gables, find laid-back locals at The Bar or stop by Cebada, a rooftop bar in Miami with stylish guests, creatively-named cocktails and Instagram-worthy views of Coral Gables under the stars.

Head north to Brickell and stop by Better Days, a cozy space with ‘90s nostalgia, pool tables and vintage couches where you can mix and mingle over drinks well into the wee hours of the morning.

Nearby in Downtown Miami, make your way to Over/Under – a locals’ favorite. This funky, divey ode to Florida has quirky furnishings, neon art and cocktails with clever names, like “Goya Girl” – all of which are great icebreakers. Go on Sundays and slurp down $1 oysters (they’re an aphrodisiac, after all).

At Lagniappe, a Miami institution, there are first-come, seat-yourself tables, trendy locals, a solid wine and beer selection, charcuterie boards and live music every night.

Tables are buzzing, but the energy is relaxed, and the casual open setting makes it easy to mingle with that hot guy or girl you’ve been eyeing across the patio.

If you’re feeling a little fancy, join Miami’s elite at Living Room, a late-night jazz bar steeped in golden-age glamour at the lavish Faena Hotel Miami Beach.

Nearby, have a unique night out in Miami Beach at Basement at The Edition, where you can twirl around an indoor ice-skating rink or challenge a hottie to neon-lit, late-night bowling with a drink in hand.
