The Best New Bars in Miami, 2023 | Eater Miami

"If you’ve watched the 2014 movie Chef, you’ll probably remember a scene where Sofia Vergara and Jon Favreau’s characters visit this Latin music club in Little Havana for live music, drinks, and dancing. Well, after closing in 2019, Hoy Como Ayer (HCA) has recently made a triumphant return, and it’s bigger and better than ever. At 4,000 square feet, the renovated historic indoor/outdoor music venue now includes a 65-seat cocktail bar and salsa room with live bands and salsa music on vinyl, and a 140-seat wine bar among other fun spaces to explore. The drinks menu features classic cocktails like a Cuba Libre with 12-year-aged rum, a carajillo, and a spicy paloma. HCA is currently working on a new food menu, but for now, serves small bites like pizzettas, guacamole with plantain chips, tequeños, and meatballs." - Allison Ramirez
