Miami attracts them all: the rich and famous, sun seekers, those stopping by to pick up a cruise, or those stopping by en route to the famous Florida Keys. A few things they all will share are an appreciation of Floridian beaches, the Art Deco designs of South Beach and the magic of a Miami lifestyle. Whether it be drinking from flutes in a South Beach nightclub or enjoying a tropical tipple in the trendy bars of Miami’s art district, Wynwood, the 305 has plenty of places to enjoy the views with a Miami Vice in hand.

If you’re passing through the art district of Wynwood, the chances are you’re just as much of a party animal as an art aficionado. A gem for artistic crowds, Cafeina Bar and Lounge moonlights as an outdoor music venue as well as an exclusive outdoor cocktail lounge. As you step inside from the brightly decorated walls of Wynwood’s streets, enjoy the smoky, sexy vibes with a slightly different crowd than that of the VIP tables in South Beach. The friendly bar staff and art lovers will welcome you to Cafeina with the sweetest of Miami’s mixology, but be prepared to pay an entry cover if you visit on the weekends.

2. The Rusty Pelican

Bar, Restaurant, American

As far as ‘cocktails with a view’ go, this beautiful waterside location is as good as it gets. A little less on the wild side and a little more romantic, The Rusty Pelican, in Key Biscayne, is everything you could want from a date night in Miami or a boozy brunch with friends. Fairy lights accompanied by a famous Miami sunset offer the perfect lighting for drinking cocktails. Admire the skyline view of Miami Beach as you choose from the extensive menu of cocktails and bites to eat. The palm trees and ocean views still offer the Miami magic, but the bar is a great option if you fancy something less glitzy than South Beach.

3. Monty’s

Bar, Restaurant, Seafood

Another waterside, yacht-lined location, Monty’s in Coconut Grove is perfect for a daytime cocktail and lunch. The blue sky and blue sea offer a great backdrop for any dining experience. Well known among Miami locals for its weeknight happy hour, Monty’s offers a relaxed atmosphere from daytime to evening and another great place to appreciate a gorgeous Miami sunset. Get the Miami Vice cocktail for a taste of South Florida in a glass.
