Best & Cool Bars in North Bay Village

"Out on a dock beneath the shade of beach-blue umbrellas and right next door to the Swimming Hall of Fame and the city marina, you can enjoy a continuous parade of the most impressive yachts you’ve ever seen while digging in to some tasty eat-with-your-hands seafood. The menu offers a delicious fresh take on traditional beach-vacation nibbles, including conch fritters, coconut shrimp, and crab cakes, but they also have a daily special called “scoobies,” a bowl of luscious snow crab legs soaking in roasted garlic butter. This is a great place to order some drinks while watching the sunset."

"We were placed on a wait during busy dinner service so we decided to sit at the outside…”more. Indoor & Outdoor dining"

"Restaurants Seafood Downtown. For years, the Epic Hotel’s rooftop bar and restaurant was a magnet for business types grabbing a drink after work in the area. But even without its beat-the-clock happy hour, Area 31 is still luring the locals with its unparalleled views of Downtown and well-priced bites and sips."

"Area 31 is a local favorite located on the 16th floor of the EPIC hotel. The restaurant itself is outdoors, and the elevation gives visitors breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The elegant menu is seafood based, serving only the freshest fish and more – check out the raw bar, ceviche dishes, and shrimp cocktails."

"When Sugar made its grand debut in the EAST, Miami at Brickell City Centre, crowds flocked to the Asian rooftop bar and garden for the breathtaking views and party-like vibe. 788 Brickell Plaza, Miami, 786.805.4655"

"The food is delicious, the atmosphere is really great and their drinks are to die for. We had the croquetacos and those are a MUST!"

"El Patio Wynwood, which started as a bar, is now distinguished and one of Miami’s best clubs. Its pretty and cool outdoor bar is always an intriguing sight for first-time visitors. Almost everything in this club displays Latin-Colombian influence, from decor to music."

"Hailed as the world's largest candy emporium, Dylan's Candy Baron South Beach's Lincoln Road is the creation of Ralph Lauren's daughter, Dylan. The retail outpost, fashioned after the New York City flagship store, boasts a selection of more than 7,000 candies, a cafe, full-service bar and personal candy shoppers. Stop in to gobble up delicious candy classics like jelly beans, gummy bears, cotton candy and poprocks."

"Although fellow New Yorkers are familiar with this legendary candy shop, Floridians took their own spin on Dylan's Candy Bar. Located on Lincoln Road, the vibe of Miami creates a colorful atmosphere that attracts everyone who passes by. With candy coated everything (seriously though, they have Kit-Kat-covered mugs), this hot spot is one to see."

"These are probably my favourite and the most fun on this list of instagrammable places in Miami. I just love the iconic colourful lifeguard towers in Miami, but especially the ones at South Pointe beach!. Expect to see all sorts of bright colours and fun shapes as you stroll along the beach."

"The great thing about Hollywood North Beach Park is that it’s right next to the West Lake South Trail and the beach!. This means, after completing the West Lake South Trail you can head straight over to chill in the park and get ready for a dip, too. With over 50+ acres to explore, it’s easily one of the best things to do in Hollywood, Florida to just chill out."

"If you’re feeling ambitious on your townie cruiser, you can ride north to Bal Harbour or Haulover beaches; natives know these as water-sports havens—and for Bal Harbour’s luxury shopping. Otherwise, drop off your bike along Ocean Drive and grab a spot on the beach, Lummus Beach, which runs from around 6th to 14th streets. This is a beach for locals and tourists alike, and the spread of humanity—supermodels, families and even topless tanners—make this a go-to spot for people-watching."
