Area 31

Perched on the 16th floor of the Kimpton EPIC Hotel in Downtown Miami, Area 31 pairs sweeping views of Biscayne Bay and the Miami River with a sustainability-minded seafood menu and inventive cocktail program. The open-air lounge and bar draw a mix of hotel guests, tourists, and Brickell-area locals for happy hour, weekend brunch, and dinner service, with a bar area that fills up as the sun sets over the water.

Expect seasonal cocktail creations, a well-curated wine list, and craft beer alongside Chef Sezer's globally-inspired seafood dishes. The vibe leans upscale yet relaxed, more sophisticated lounge than late-night club, making it a solid pick for date nights, celebrations, or after-work drinks with a view.

Outdoor seating, a poolside lounge menu, and rooftop ambiance add to the appeal, while the attached hotel setting keeps things polished. Whether you're stopping by for social hour tapas or settling in for dinner and drinks, Area 31 delivers one of Downtown Miami's most scenic spots to sip a cocktail.
