The best bars in Miami, updated November 2026

Miami drinks well, and the best of it is spread out: cocktail bars in Brickell and Downtown, speakeasies behind unmarked doors, rooftops, wine bars, and neighborhood spots from Wynwood to Little Havana. These are the 25 bars our scoring method ranks highest across the whole MiamiExplore catalog right now.

Nobody pays to be here. Every bar is scored on the same things: what guests say about the drinks, the room, the service, the value and the entertainment; how many of them have said it; whether the conversation is growing or fading; and the awards the bar has actually earned. A speakeasy or a wine bar is judged on the experience its format offers, not on whether it has a DJ. We publish the whole method, including everything that can move a rank, on our how we rank page.

The list re-sorts itself as scores move, so it reflects the catalog on the day you read it rather than the day somebody wrote it.
