The Dead Flamingo

The Dead Flamingo is a retro tropical bar in Little Havana where Latin soul meets island kitsch across an air-conditioned space built for lingering. The cocktail menu rotates constantly, from the prosecco-topped Tru-Tang to the mezcal-and-Campari Fowl Play, plus a secret menu bartenders will only tell you about if you ask.

Weekly karaoke nights, trivia, DJs, live bands, and comedy shows keep the calendar packed, and a single pool table anchors the room as a gathering spot locals come back to again and again. Guests describe the vibe as a cross between a dive bar and a house party, with bartenders who learn your name and your order.

Happy hour runs daily before 8pm, and the bar stays open until 3am most nights. Located at 1728 SW 8th Street on Calle Ocho, it draws a mixed crowd of neighborhood regulars and visitors exploring Little Havana's nightlife, with themed pop-ups around holidays and pop culture moments like Bad Bunny parties and Love Island watch nights.
