Best & Cool Bars in Kendall West

"Do these tangy, spicy wings taste nearly as good without a complete panoramic view of Miami from the 40th floor?. Find out as Sugar offers this plus the rest of its menu for delivery. Cool off from all the spice with the Audi and Ramsa ice creams, which are made with various types of alcohol."

"Miami’s buzziest rooftop bar, located on the 40th floor of EAST hotel, rocks a menu of Asian-inspired cocktails and small plates and the best view in town. 788 Brickell Plaza #40Miami, FL 33131+1-786-805-4655"

"Located in Brickell City Centre's EAST Miami, Sugar was just named to Condé Nast's 10 Best Rooftop Bars in the United States."

"This trendy outdoor cocktail bar at the Freehand Miami, a high-end hostel, is everything that the quintessential Miami bar should be. This is the place where you can and drink cocktails by the pool under the shade of palm trees and the crowd is usually young and vibrant. Many of the cocktails are seasonal using fresh ingredients and if you are with a group of friends, you can splurge and order an oversized punch bowl."

"Once upon a time, Miami was the city of Champagne and bottle service. Though perhaps in some places bottle service still rules, the past decade has welcomed a craft cocktail movement that takes advantage of Miami’s excellent citrus and vibrant bar scene. Of the many options, The Broken Shaker, however, is the city’s standard-setter."

"What was once a pop-up bar, The Broken Shaker is now a permanent fixture at the Freehand Miami. The James Beard Award-nominated bar is located in the high-end hostel on South Beach serving up a selection of handcrafted cocktails. The bar itself is..."

"This favorite Brickell haunt can get packed, but its two bars and swift bartenders ensure you won’t have to wait too long for a drink that uses fresh herbs from its massive garden wall. Its happy hour (3pm-8pm on weekdays) offers buy-one-get-one-free specials. The namesake Blackbird cocktail is basically a Trojan horse: a raspberry arnold palmer hiding sweet tea vodka, so drink cautiously."

"MO Bar is the kind of tasteful lounge you frequent for a relaxed ambience and high-class service. From the main bar area to window-side tables, you can create cozy enclaves for up to four people, and the only time you might lightly struggle to hear your friends is on a Friday or Saturday night when sultry, live music will either inspire you to rumba or to sink further into your velvet armchair. A prominent feature in Brickell Key’s Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the spacious lounge offers incredible views of the Miami skyline, and with a daily “social” hour from 5pm-8pm, you can catch a colorful sunset without spending more than $10 for a drink."

"Right from the day time to gorgeous nights, you can enjoy anytime in the high bar. There are private cabanas, bottle service, and DJ to let your body groove on the dropping beats. Luckily, it’s just a few walks away from the beach, which is undoubtedly an excellent place to relax after a sunbath."

"The Miami Beach Botanical Gardens was originally a municipal park that opened in the early ’60s; it wasn’t until decades later when the area was redesigned and rejuvenated that it became the fantastic attraction that it is now. Designed by one of the state’s most renowned landscape architects, the gardens are an urban oasis filled with fountains, art, and an amazingly diverse array of plants, trees, and flowers, most of which are species native to Florida. The grounds include a Japanese garden, warden gardens, plenty of shaded seating areas, and well-marked pathways that lead to each distinct area."

"Founded to give Broward County kids more access to art education, Young at Art (YAA) is much more than just a children's museum. Since moving into its current home — a custom-built, LEED-certified building in Davie with its own Broward County Library branch — YAA has been able to attract serious, professional artists to exhibit there by challenging them to design with kids in mind. That means, unlike other museums, the art must be touchable."

"Those wanting to see contemporary art while in Miami should really go to the Institue of Contemporary Art, Miami. Here you find all kinds of artworks from well-known artists, but the museum also likes to feature up-and-coming artists. Besides the permanent collection, the museum also has many temporary exhibitions, showcasing a diverse range of contemporary art."

The facility has 23,000 square feet of exhibition space, and houses more than 400 permanent installations from artists such as Larry Rivers, Claes Oldenburg, and Jasper Johns. With eight to ten changing exhibits annually, even more artists are represented."

"‘You will be seeing unusual accomplishment,’ reads the inscription on the rough-hewn quarried wall. That’s an understatement. There is no greater temple to all that is weird and wacky about South Florida. The legend: a Latvian gets snubbed at the altar. Comes to the USA and settles in Florida. Handcarves, unseen, in the dead of night, a monument to unrequited love."

"No one’s figured out how one diminutive mason managed to move the huge stones for this sculpture garden dedicated to his lost love."

"Hop aboard for a fun 90-minute sightseeing cruise that takes you past waterfront mansions, Port Miami, Fisher Island and other highlights. See captivating views of the Miami skyline while enjoying beverages and light snacks."
