Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Belle Meade Island

"Brought to you by the same owners as The Foxy Brown, the illustrious and breezy Coconuts Waterfront restaurant is South Florida at its best. Conveniently located on the Intracoastal waterway, you can easily float your way to Sunday brunch and dock your boat here. Coconuts prides itself on their philosophy to “be nice”, which is exuded in their exceptional and sincere service, coupled with quality food and an unbeatable view."

"Relax by the city marina and enjoy finger food fit for small hands and fresh catches from the sea at Coconuts. For the older children and adults, this restaurant features snow crab legs and roasted garlic butter that make you glad you chose to vacation on the beach. Few things are more relaxing than watching the boats go by while watching your children eat happily with their hands."

"Fort Lauderdale’s Coconuts restaurant offers waterfront dining and an inventive menu that is primarily composed of delicious seafood and comfort foods. Treat yourself to tasty dishes like the Lobster Roll, Jambalaya, or the Gravy Train (breaded pork loin medallions in home gravy). Stop in for Sunday brunch and try the seafood quiche."

"Located in Kimpton's Epic Hotel, this restaurant's setting affords skyline views of both Miami (to the north and west) and Biscayne Bay (to the east and south) that guests find truly breathtaking--that is, if they aren't too focused on the incredible cuisine. Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk gleans most of his seafare--items such as jumbo lump crab salad with spicy seared watermelon, heirloom tomato, avocado, mint and basil or yellowfin tuna with mixed grains, smoked black beans, shrimp guacamole and ginger juice--either locally or from the region of the ocean for which the restaurant is named, Area 31, one of the only self-sustaining spots that is said to be left in the ocean. Meat and pasta dishes are just as delicious and contain sustainable items from nearby farms and other trusted sources."

"If you dig wind in your hair and a chill vibe, head to Area 31 at the Epic Hotel in Downtown Miami, where the neighboring buildings and location on the river act as a wind tunnel. Be sure to check out the yachts docked below and excellent city views to the south. A photo posted by Pietro Matulli (@pietro_matulli) on Jun 13, 2016 at 6:46am PDT"

"Whisk yourself away to the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel and discover the excitement at Area 31. Feast on Korean barbecue steak tacos and Spanish croquetas with a glass of Merlot and gaze toward the downtown Miami skyline."

"On the 40th floor of the East Miami hotel at Brickell City Centre, you’ll find a lush rooftop garden bar stocked with all the good stuff. Think: truffle pistachio tataki and wok-tossed edamame paired with lychee blossom cocktails and rosé champagne. Plus, the view is to die for."

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

"Brunch from 11am-3pm Saturdays & Sundays350 E Las Olas Blvd, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. The Royal Pig Pub is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, however, I’m keeping them on the list for when they safely open again. The Royal Pig has bottomless mimosas, Bloody Mary’s, Bellini’s, and Blue Point Toasted Lager for $15."

"Find Glitch Bar at Flagler Village in downtown Fort Lauderdale. You will have the chance to chill out while enjoying some classic arcade games which are always free to play. There is a different event happening every night at Glitch Bar."

"Located in the Lincoln Road shopping district, this Miami Beach boutique hotel features a complimentary men-only self-service spa including a steam room, dry sauna, and hot tub. Over 10 restaurants..."

"Though it may seem out of place in such a swanky and exclusive setting, the Holocaust Memorial on Meridian Avenue in South Beach is a poignant attraction that’s free to visit and worth a look when you’re in the area. Miami is home to a sizeable Jewish population, and the memorial was the brainchild of a small group of local Holocaust survivors in the mid-’80s. The memorial has been open to the public since 1990, and the site includes a memorial wall and a pleasant garden that’s conducive to quiet contemplation."

"A visit to the International Swimming Hall of Fame entails an impressive tour offering much more than visitors expect. The complex includes a museum, hall of fame, and world-class aquatic center. After its construction in 1965 and extensive renovations in 1991, the aquatic center today hosts national and international swimming events while the Hall of Fame showcases the accomplishments of competitive swimmers, water polo players, synchronized swimmers, divers, and others."

"This fascinating museum located conveniently off A1A and just steps from the beach, will appeal to the champion swimmer in everyone. The International Swimming Hall of Fame highlights the achievements of notable swimmers and contains aquatic artifacts dating to the 15th century. Computerized exhibits let you pretend you are an Olympic swimmer, diver, or judge."

"Fort Lauderdale's rich history for African-Americans is presented in this inspiring museum. Many of the honors that are due to pioneers in the African-American community in Broward County are not recorded, but it is here through exhibits and lectures and special events that visitors and locals can learn more of this interesting and exciting chapter of local history. Built in 1924, this was the region's lone African-American school for children during segregation."

"First Watch is an award-winning Breakfast, Brunch and Lunch favorite that specializes in both traditional and innovative creations all freshly prepared to order. Coral Gables Love reader Leo recommends the skillet hash farmhouse style. First Watch is located at 5799 NW 7th St, Miami, FL."
