Experience the Vibe at Do Not Sit - A Dance Haven Awaiting You!
Avatar Time Out Miami

Time Out Miami

Do Not Sit On The Furniture! Designed more for dancing than sitting (hence the name), it’s packed tight and kept very dark, except for those moments when the gorgeous light fixture flashes and illuminates everything around you. Helmed by internationally renowned DJ-producer Behrouz and his partner Megan, Do Not Sit has earned a reputation for offering top-tier guest acts and underground sensibilities in a less pretentious setting and with a more accessible cover.

Man why is Miami such an unprofessional city?! Legit sitting in a hospital room at Kendall Regional Hospital after a health scare listening to the nurses and cleaning crew talking about which coworker is cheating on who and whose fucking who and it got me thinking, I’ve worked in Hospitals up north before, we can be a funky bunch, but damn we atleast tried to be professional at work. Nowhere in Miami that I’ve been is there much professionalism at work places, workers are seemingly rude/hostile at most places outside of Brickell, most everyone has an attitude, it’s legit the polar opposite of any major city in America. My Cardiologist called me Bro and had a fade haircut 🤣😫 This city is on some shit man.

Experience the Vibrant Atmosphere of Hyde Beach!
Avatar Time Out Miami

Time Out Miami

Hyde Beach Hollywood style found its way to South Beach in June 2012 when the SLS Hotel opened at the corner of Collins and 17th, and brought the ultra-exclusive Hyde nightclub with it. The daytime pool party is always a riot. We’re talking CO2 cannons, go-go dancers, fist-pumping out-of-towners and cocktails the size of football players. From Thursday to Sunday, the action continues well past sunset, when scenesters hunker down within the whimsical, Philippe Starck-designed club for A-list acts like Guy Gerber, Claptone and Kaskade.

But the flavors sealed the deal! You’ll find unique dishes you wouldn’t normally see at a pizza joint like papaya with anchovy, Japanese sweet potato with brown butter, and grilled onions with tahini.

We started with the Samosas, which were crispy on the outside and filled with a deliciously spiced potato mixture.

Eleventh Street Pizza serves up two kinds of pies that both are stellar representations of their pizza genres. While a monster slice of NYC-style pep does a great job soaking up late-night drinking, the finest things here are thick Sicilian slices, big towers of dough covered with cupped pepperoni, wild maitake mushrooms with caramelized onions and a Provencal number with roasted red onions, confit garlic and pepperoncini. Time Out tip: The Japanese milk bread garlic rolls are both sweet and savory, so much so that you’ll probably want a second order for dessert.

Tinta y Café You can find everything we love about Coral Gables in Tinta y Café, which also has a location in Miami Shores. It’s quirky, local and deliciously Cuban, with a cozy midcentury vibe that’s both moody and light-filled. It’s also pretty laid-back and you can grab a legit Cuban coffee during the lunch rush without having to fight several elderly gentlemen, as well as delicious sandwiches that put a new spin on classics. Note: this is not the place to treat as your satellite office; there’s no wifi, and laptops are politely declined. This is, however, the perfect place to catch up with an old friend or take a break from the hustle.

Discovering the Best Local Cocktail Bars in South Miami

South Miami is home to numerous hidden gems for cocktail enthusiasts, offering everything from sophisticated speakeasies to vibrant rooftop bars. If you're looking to dive deep into the nightlife of this bustling area, delve into our curated list of local cocktail bars, replete with insider tips and secrets from Kikihub's local anonymous chat community.

Hot Spots for Craft Cocktails in South Miami

For those who have a penchant for craft cocktails, El Gato Tuerto tops the list. This quaint, yet trendy cocktail bar is renowned for its inventive mixology and cozy ambiance. Frequent patrons suggest trying their signature "Smoking Dragon," a unique blend of tropical fruits and exotic liquors that's often the talk of the town. Our local Kikihub users recommend arriving early to secure a good spot because seating is limited and fills up fast.

If you’re in the mood for a burst of historical charm along with your drink, The Apothecary is an unmissable stop. Nestled behind a discreet bookstore facade, this speakeasy bar is a well-kept secret among locals. Here, the bartenders concoct medicinal-themed cocktails inspired by old-world remedies. Local chat insiders at Kikihub rave about their "Cure-All Elixir" but note that its bitter notes may only appeal to those with a discerning palate.

Trending Rooftop Bars in South Miami

Few experiences in South Miami can rival enjoying a cocktail while soaking in panoramic city views. One such place that garners high praise is SkyVista Lounge. Perched atop one of the tallest buildings in the vicinity, it offers stunning vistas of both the Miami skyline and Biscayne Bay. Kikihub’s local community highly recommends their "Stellar Sangria" during sunset as the perfect way to kickstart your evening while taking in breathtaking views.

Another out-of-the-ordinary rooftop bar is Stardust Rooftop Garden. A lush, green oasis amidst the urban landscape, this bar is often cited in local chats as an Instagram-worthy destination. Its botanically-inspired cocktail menu, featuring herbs picked fresh from their rooftop garden, is second to none. The "Herbaceous Honeybee," a delightfully refreshing cocktail crafted with honey, mint, and a splash of citrus, is a fan favorite that shouldn’t be missed.

Nightlife Experiences You Can't Miss in South Miami

South Miami buzzes with nightlife options beyond just cocktails. Many locals flock to The Retro Nightclub, an energetic venue that offers both dance floors and a comprehensive cocktail menu. Kikihub users insist that their "Electric Lemonade" is the perfect drink to keep you energized on the dance floor all night long. Don’t forget to check out their themed nights, which often feature guest DJs and live performances.

For a night that's a touch more laid-back but still thoroughly engaging, visit Blue Moon Jazz Lounge. This local hotspot features live jazz music every night, paired with a sophisticated cocktail program. Regulars on Kikihub recommend the "Midnight in Miami," a stunning blend of bourbon, dark chocolate, and a hint of smoky mezcal, perfect for savoring the sultry tunes of jazz.

Exclusive Local Insights from Kikihub Community

Local insights from Kikihub chat reveal some lesser-known gems as well. For instance, many users talk about The Secret Stranger. This unassuming bar, hidden behind a nondescript door in an old office building, offers an air of exclusivity. Inside, you’ll find vintage decor and a menu of classics reimagined with a modern twist. The "Velvet Underground" is a must-try for anyone looking to explore unconventional flavor profiles.

Another lesser-known spot is Neon Jungle, which astonishingly combines an arcade with a cocktail lounge. This quirky and vibrant venue is perfect for anyone looking to reminisce over childhood games while sipping on a contemporary cocktail. Local insiders point out their "Tropical Tetris," a cocktail that features brightly colored layers reminiscent of the beloved game’s falling blocks.

Sampling Cocktails at Renowned South Miami Restaurants

For those who prefer to dine while enjoying their cocktails, South Miami offers outstanding restaurants with noteworthy cocktail programs. At La Cocina Mia, the menu pairs rich, flavorful Latin cuisine with an impressive list of handcrafted cocktails. According to Kikihub locals, their "Spicy Paloma" is the perfect counterpart to their savory empanadas and ceviche.

Don’t miss out on Delectable Delights, an upscale restaurant known for its fusion cuisine and exceptional bar. Local chat members suggest trying the "Ginger Whisper," a cocktail that beautifully balances the spiciness of ginger with the sweetness of lychee, making it an ideal aperitif to start off your meal.

Insider Tips for Enjoying South Miami's Nightlife

Planning to explore South Miami’s vibrant cocktail and nightlife scene? Kikihub locals suggest visiting during the weekdays to avoid the crowd and make the most of exclusive happy hour deals. They also recommend connecting with bartenders, who are often more than willing to craft personalized off-menu cocktails tailored to your tastes.

To avoid long queues, the Kikihub community also advises making reservations wherever possible, especially for the more popular and trending rooftop bars. Don't forget to ask about seasonal cocktails, as many bars in South Miami take advantage of the region's lush produce to deliver unique cocktails that change with the season.
