I am here to say, Mae's Room is the cocktail bar that Coconut Grove needed. For years, we have loved to go out in the Grove for a day filled with frivolity and nights filled with delicious dinners or casual hangs. But if you wanted to grab a drink at a proper cocktail bar, you'd either have to post up at a nice restaurant bar, or hit the dives. While there is a time and a place for both, I am so happy that Mae's is in the mix.
I went to Mae's Room on opening day which was November 18th. It's part of the Ariete Hospitality group that is now all over this corner of Main Highway and Fuller street so you know it's going to be good. If you have been around the Grove a lot, or frequent Scapegoat you will recognize Tom - the lovely English guy behind the bar who served me I kid you not the FROSTIEST martini I have had in 2025 (and trust me I have had a few this year). If you go out a lot in the area you will recognize some familiar and friendly faces behind the bar, too.
It's a pretty small cocktail bar - about 15 ish bar seats and a few cocktail tables. They just opened, so they are figuring out how to have the demand for the space coexist with the vibes they are creating, but I trust that will work itself out. If you plan on going, you may have to wait if they are at capacity but the tini is worth it.
It's the kind of spot that you can go to grab a drink solo, cozy up on a date, or yap with your girls over happy hour.
While they don't have food, it is 2025 and people are brilliant so you can use the QR code on the menu and order Chuggie's from down the plaza and eat it at the bar. A martini and a fast food style burger and fries? Hello. Sign me up.
I also enjoyed an espresso martini which was great.
Cocktails are reasonably priced and they also have happy hour with $9 drinks. I shall be back, and if I have to wait good thing there are plenty of other spots you can walk to nearby to pass the time until I meet that frosty tini once again.
