Our 6 Favorite Miami Beach Bars For Every Occasion
The Regent Cocktail Club
The Regent Cocktail Club on Collins Avenue is a moody cocktail bar that mirrors a 1940’s speakeasy in the heart of Miami Beach. The seductive, eclectic decor creates an effortlessly classy atmosphere, complete with live music. Make yourself comfortable on the leather sofas and allow the mixologist to whip up something special for you.
Inside the Gale, Hotel is the Regent Cocktail Club, a 1940s-era speakeasy in the center of tourist-heavy South Beach. The atmosphere is provided with dim lighting, antique furnishings, vintage champagne glasses, and a comprehensive cocktail menu created by Bar Lab. Cocktails are classic alcoholic beverages meant to be savored rather than consumed. For the last five years, the Regent has been doing what every neo-bar in town has done: making the past cool again.
The Regent Cocktail Club, named one of the Top Ten Hotel Bars in the World, has a diverse cocktail menu. The rich sense of a cigar club inspired by balmy Havana evenings is embodied by the mix of space, music, drinks, and genuine hospitality.
La Côte
Relax with a drink in hand by the ocean at La Côte. This two-story, open-air space features white decor with palm trees and a pristine lounging area by the pool. Get comfortable with a cocktail on one of the white sofas or enjoy a delicious Mediterranean lunch in the café area. You will usually find a DJ or live band playing here to create an upbeat atmosphere.
This beautiful, bi-level space in the Fontainebleau Miami Beach has a sun-drenched, South of France atmosphere, with clean whites, brilliant teals, and an unbeatable ocean view. The top-level views of the pool and the ocean make it ideal for relaxing with a glass of rosé (or a pitcher of their namesake punch) and a platter of oysters while watching the bar scene come alive with fashionable guests conversing to DJ-spun music.
Clevelander South Beach Bar
Spend an evening at the Clevelander South Beach Bar on Ocean Drive for an outdoor party experience like nowhere else in Miami. This bar sits right in the middle of the city’s nightlife scene featuring multiple pools and a rooftop lounge. You’ll find some of the city’s most impressive live music shows here, including artists like Snoop Dogg and DJ Khaled.
Head on over to The Clevelander if you want your beer and burgers to come with an extra helping of good times. There aren’t many venues where you can swim, hang out with body-painted girls, and drink $5 beverages all at the same time. Jack Daniel’s shots were followed by $5 beer bottles (during football games). To be more specific, football. Also, there’s that. You may watch the big game on a 20-foot LED screen and more than 40 additional TVs around the property.
Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery
Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery is the ideal spot for every date night. With dim lighting, candles, leather sofas, and delicious cocktails, Swizzle knows just how to set the mood. With around 150 varieties of rum, you’ll find classic craft cocktails mixed with a strong dose of creative freedom.
This tiny bar pays tribute to the cherished spirit of the Caribbean: rum, and is run by the same management team that brought you, Employees, Only Miami. About 150 different types of rum are available at the bar, which may be sipped or used in cocktails. Swizzle serves classics like a rum Manhattan and unique concoctions like the El Presidente, which combines rum, pomegranate, molasses, and Angostura bitters. Chicken wings and Cuban sandwiches are served from a modest kitchen.
The famous tiki-themed hotel bar that closed unexpectedly in 2018 is returning in a new location with a significantly improved beverage menu. Swizzle drinks—the frozen cocktail’s delectable forerunner—remain its specialty. Still, the craft cocktail bar has expanded its menu to include classic cocktails and new spins on old favorites.
LIV
LIV is known as Miami Beach’s most upscale dance club, with a luxurious atmosphere, able to wow anyone. The exclusive South Beach lounge always boasts high energy, a classy crowd, and live music with performances by some top artists like Robin Thicke.
LIV at Fontainebleau, frequently recognized as one of the best nightlife venues in the world, returned for its ninth season following a $10 million facelift. LIV has revolutionized Miami Beach nightlife and pioneered the nightlife experience.

LIV will continue to set the setting for the ultimate nightlife experience with nearly 18,000 square feet of spectacular architecture, high ceilings, vivid lighting, and its signature dome.
LIV occupies the site of the world-famous Tropigala Lounge, formerly known as the La Ronde Room, in the 1950s and 1960s. Frank Sinatra originally lighted the stage. He was followed by Sammy Davis Jr., Ann Miller, Elvis Presley, and Tony Bennet. LIV has transformed the room into a mecca for style, celebrity, and glitz.
Nikki Beach
Nikki Beach is one of Ocean Drive’s most impressive outdoor lounge bars. It’s the only place in the area to enjoy gourmet dining on the beach.
