Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in City Center

"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."

"One of the most iconic rooftop bars in Miami hosting a perfect blend of visitors and locals alike. The chic rooftop and garden sits on the 40th floor of the EAST Miami hotel. Sugar Miami serves delicious Asian-inspired cocktails and tapas, and it’s the go-to spot to watch the sunset in Brickell."

"The city has some of the exotic bars that you haven’t gone till now. And A great hotspot in Brickell always has a massive line out on the weekends. You will see a good crowd waiting for their turn."

"Coined “the coolest backyard in Miami” by GQ magazine, the Broken Shaker bar is a must-visit for anyone dropping by the city. This tropical-inspired oasis is situated in the backyard of Freehand Hotel, Miami Beach, and is a real hub of photo opportunities. Open to both guests and city dwellers, the bar boasts an outdoor pool, delicious tacos, and handcrafted cocktails created by skilled mixologists (all exceptionally Instagrammable)."

"This bar showed Miami just how delicious cocktails could be. This intimate, tropical outdoor bar that lives inside the Freehand hostel has become a must-visit for any informed drinker passing through the city. Thankfully, the bar hasn’t lost any of its magic over the years and remains the North Star of Miami cocktail culture."

"This is free to charge a place where you can fresh n up with the entire schedule that you are having. However, this is the well-known Miami cocktail bar which is a place in the outskirts of the beach. On the other hand, there are rooms for tourists to stay for some time that they want."

"Brick remains a Wynwood favorite, often drawing lines around the block on weekends and Art Walk nights. It’s a bar that celebrates dancing yet keeps the atmosphere relaxed enough that you wouldn’t call it a club. With indoor and outdoor spaces, it gives you plenty of room to bust a move while sipping a craft beer or two."

"Everybody needs some tacos in their life, and Naked Taco is the place to get them. And let’s be real, nothing goes better with tacos than some margaritas. Naked Taco not only has great eats, but it’s also a hip and trendy ambience right by the water, so really there is nothing more you could want."

"Alright, Cuban is the dish that should be tried, but if you are in Miami and craving some delicious, uniquely made tacos, head on over to Naked Taco for a little taste of Mexico. Miami is a melting pot of culture and cuisine. Tatore Italian Restaurant was delicious for that pasta crave!"

"Naked Taco, a cocktail bar and Mexican restaurant serving breakfast and brunch in Flamingo/Lummus, is another high-traffic go-to, with four stars out of 1,194 Yelp reviews. Head over to 1111 Collins Ave. to see for yourself."

"Wakefield consistently serves up some of the best craft brews in the area, direct from its Star Wars-themed brewery and tap room in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. El Jefe, a German Hefeweizen brewed with coconut flakes, is a long-time favorite here, but the special releases are gems to keep an eye out for."

"For craft beer nerds, J. Wakefield and Concrete Beach make some of the city’s best local brews. Cocktail enthusiasts will love the speakeasy-like back room at Coyo Taco – you’ll just walk through the door at the back of the restaurant marked “Staff Only” to access the hidden, dimly-lit mezcal lounge."

"If you aren't careful, you could mistake the front of the graffiti-covered J. Wakefield Brewing as just another art installation in the many creative Wynwood Walls. However, this is the tap room you are looking for, complete with Star Wars décor."

"A post shared by Minty Z Plant-Based Restaurant (@mintyzllc). Minty Z is a chill Miami eatery serving up vegan dim sum and plant-based Asian fusion in the heart of Coconut Grove. You’ll most likely want to plan your visit around one of their event nights, like Sake Cinema (that’s half-off sake, a dope movie, and complimentary spicy popcorn) or Wonton Wednesday ($1 wontons and half-off wonton soup)."

"Chinese , Vegetarian ,  Vegan"

"Miami River is undoubtedly one of the city's best backdrops when it comes to outdoor dining, and River Yacht Club has always been a top destination for Instagram-worthy snapshots of the the city lights glinting off the water -- and now the iconic location has added Dashi, a progressive new Japanese restaurant, to the mix.
