The Best Bars Miami has to Offer

The bar scene in Miami is heating up.

With long-standing favorites and new-to-the-area lounges, patrons have many options when it comes to going out.

Employees Only 

First opening in NYC back in 2004, the Miami location (opened February 2017) has quickly become famous. The award-winning cocktails will run you around $14 and the delicious food is something to try as well. Open till 4:30 am daily, Employees Only is the place to go for Prohibition-style drinks and upscale food.

The Broken Shaker

Initially a pop-up bar, The Broken Shaker is now a favorite in the area. Located at the Freehand, the outdoor patio is a great place to grab one of their frequently-changing cocktails featuring fresh ingredients. Awarded Best American Hotel Bar at Tales of the Cocktail’s Spirited Awards, you can’t go wrong here.

Sweet Liberty

Offering over 100 seats, Sweet Liberty may be labeled a neighborhood cocktail bar, but it is so much more. Awarded Best American High-Volume Cocktail Bar, this establishment offers excellent drinks and crowd-pleasing food for all.

Purdy Lounge 

After undergoing a facelift and revamped cocktail menu, the bar once known as “Durdy Purdy” is back and better than ever. Retro décor and mixologist created cocktails have been satisfying customers for nearly twenty years. Open till 5 am daily, this spot is always a good choice.

With so many options to choose from, these four are just some of the excellent and famous bars in Miami.
