"Lagniappe’s monopoly on Miami’s industry of “cute wine bars for big groups” has come to an end. Magie is mostly self-service—you pick out your own bottle of wine and, if you’re hungry, cured meats and cheeses, which they’ll assemble into a charcuterie platter. Wines hover around the $40 to $65 range, making this perfect for a fun, yet financially responsible night out. Aside from charcuterie, Magie has a small menu of snacks (including dino nuggets topped with caviar). It’s also across the street from two of our favorite burgers at USBS and Off Site if you’re still hungry. They've got a location in Coconut Grove, in case you're closer to that one." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
"Magie has temporarily overtaken Lagniappe as the wine bar of the moment, and getting a table here on the weekend is now a status symbol. Swarms of twenty-somethings pace around on the hunt for a comfy Victorian couch. They’re too late. The punctual groups of thirty-somethings in oversized blazers already took the best seats and are on their second round of caviar-topped dino nuggets, which are, of course, already on their Instagram stories. Yes, Magie’s new Coconut Grove location is just as dramatic (and we’ve yet to find an open table)." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, julia malave
"Think of Magie as Lagniappe’s twin, but with more indoor seating. Like Lagniappe, this wine bar is mostly self-service—you pick out your own bottle and, if you’re hungry, cured meats and cheeses, which they’ll assemble into a charcuterie platter. Wines are mostly priced within the $40 to $65 range, making this perfect for a fun, yet financially responsible night out on the town (yes, that means free parking too). Aside from charcuterie, Magie has a small menu of rotating snacks. If you're still hungry, it's also conveniently across the street from two of our favorite burgers in Miami: USBS and Off Site." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"Gold tin ceiling tiles, mismatched velvet sofas, and wooden tables (both round and rectangular) give this Little River wine bar a granny-chic look. Magie is mostly self-service—you pick out your own bottle of wine and, if you’re hungry, cured meats and cheeses, which they’ll assemble into a charcuterie platter. Wines hover around the $40 to $65 range, making this perfect for a fun, yet financially responsible night out on the town (yes, that means free parking too). Aside from charcuterie, Magie has a small menu of snacks like escargot, tinned fish, and olive tapenade on crispy bread. It’s also across the street from two of our favorite burgers at USBS and Off Site if you’re still hungry." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"The Deal: Charcuterie plate, grilled cheese, and a bottle of wine for $65 Magie is a cute Little River wine bar. Every day from 4pm to 7pm, you can pick a bottle of wine under $50, and it’ll also come with a golden grilled cheese and a charcuterie plate for a total of $65. Magie calls this “girl dinner” but it’s a deal so good everyone should take advantage. It's perfect for a fun, yet financially responsible night out on the town (yes, that means free parking too)." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
