"Nestled in the Arlo hotel in Wynwood, Higher Ground offers a refined cocktail bar experience with three distinct rooms, including a rooftop bar. Higher Ground caters to relaxed evenings and lively weekend festivities with a creative cocktail program and a rotating menu." - Dara Smith
"A visually striking café praised for its design-forward interior and consistently lauded food, particularly a highly regarded avocado toast that combines aesthetic presentation with flavorful execution." - Lauren Mowery
"What started life as a pop-up in 2020 is now a permanent spot in the heart of the city, owned and run by three friends who also operate wine bar Flawd and a market garden in the Cheshire countryside. The latter provides much of the top-quality produce found on the menu, in dishes that are designed for sharing and packed with flavour. Sit at the large counter to see the chefs putting care and pride into every dish, be it pork and sherry terrine or steamed Cornish hake. The whole team, led by the owners, are charming and cheery." - Michelin Inspector
"Higher Ground is a Wynwood cocktail bar inside a hotel that, depending on which night you go, is either a great place to hide from the chaotic nightlife of Wynwood, or partake in a more sophisticated version of it. The cocktail bar is broken up into three different rooms (one of which has a pool table). And there’s also an outdoor deck that feels like a rooftop even though it’s not technically on the roof. The cocktails are very good, and—whether for a relaxed drink after work or a crowded Saturday night party—Higher Ground should be in your Wynwood bar rotation." - ryan pfeffer
