Pretty Swell

A great place to spend a Saturday night with friends! The highlight: The food, drinks and service. We went to an acoustic event from a great group: SHEISA Music

We came upon this sweet spot on our neighborhood walk. Cocktails are excellent and their oysters were fresh and delightful. We will be back🥰

Brand new spot that just opened. Came here without expecting much and was blown away. Let me just say it’s not “pretty swell,” it’s EXTREMELY SWELL impeccable service and truly 10/10 mixology skills from Angela. I will be back very soon.

Awesome vibe. Great place to get drinks and chill or start the night. Great service and drinks

Pretty Swell has some of the best food you will have in Miami. The drinks are amazing too. You don’t always get both, great food and drinks but in Pretty Swell you do. The food is delicious and fresh with great variety. The actual restaurant is airy, light and cozy. A great new addition to Sobe.

Lovely place to go for a quiet drink in your neighborhood.

Delicious food, cocktails and great vibes by the beach

The service was super friendly. Great cocktails and food is delicious. I can highly recommend it

I came to Pretty Swell for an event a couple of months ago, but came by this week for another visit and I'm so glad I did. It feels like you're hanging out at someone's really cool mid-century living room. They have seating inside, at the bar, outside in a little corridor, and up front. I came for their Hang Ten, which is their daily happy hour. Staff was so friendly as soon as you walk through the door. I ordered a gin watermelon drink ($10) that was super tasty. I also ordered a spicy feta toast ($15). The feta toast is SO good. The perfect blend of spicy, sweet, and tangy. Will definitely come back soon!

Previous reviews deceived us. We walked in on a Friday night after dinner and it was completely empty, save for the bartender sitting at the bar. According to him, Pretty Swell isn't poppin' like it used to (4 months ago) and they now only serve beer and wine. We ended up leaving. I will say that the decor inside was really cute. Bummer it was empty.

Hang Ten Happy Hour here is a must. These gorgeous looking cocktails are as yummy as they are beautiful. This is a lovely local hidden gem that more people need to know about. They have live music on Thursdays and special events throughout the month. Everyone here is so friendly and again, those drinks! So good and only $10 during happy hour. They have indoor and outdoor seating and also a quaint little alley way for more intimate dining.

Really cute space to go on a date or for a fun night with friends. Indoors is intimate and dark and with pretty good music! Outdoors is a little garden that is pretty cute. The staff is amazing, always making sure you are well taken care of and with a big smile on their faces. I didn't get a chance to eat much but their wine selection was pretty good!

A beautiful art-deco turn mid century modern hotel bar in Miami Beach. Cocktails were delicious! Especially the house watermelon cocktail. The indoor and outdoor seating areas are both lovely and definitely have a Caribbean luxury aesthetic. Service was very friendly, I will say the drinks took quite a long time considering how empty the bar was but really that did not matter at all. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Miami.

This place is a vibe! Came here for a bachelorette and had an amazing time! The cocktails, food and service were all incredible! The wagyu barbacoa and fish tacos were so good! Would definitely recommend if you are in the area!!

C H E E R S To a Summer full of cocktails w/the best company While down in Miami me & the bestie stumbled across the cutest bar/cafe, Swell. It's perfectly situated steps away from the beach but also a healthy distance away from the South Beach tourism trap/noise. Located in @lifehousehotels - a boutique hotel, it's the perfect spot to stop in & relax at. Smelled great & super clean. Oh & it's got some pretty cute IG worthy corners to take advantage of. We ordered the Watermalone (Vodka * Watermelon Juice * Mint * Lime Juice) w/E11EVEN Vodka. It's the Vodka of Miami being that it was born in the 305. Plus it's all natural, gluten free, zero carbs/sugars, vegan & keto friendly. Doesn't get any better than that! I loved the vibe & would totally go back to chill & cheers at again.

One of my favorite spots at the beach right now! With a great happy hour daily until 8pm, a beautiful indoor and outdoor area, and delicious bites! The watermelon salad is so refreshing! An fresh blend of watermelon, raspberries, feta cheese and mint. Also, tacos are delicious, the wagyu barbacoa tacos melt in your mouth and the Jackfruit tacos are a great vegan option! The hummus and bread is delicious! Especially that bread! If you are a mezcal lover, the Mahalo, is the right mix of a refreshing drink with a spicy kick. Another delicious cocktail is the Watermelon Mojito, perfect for this summer time!

Came back tonight for a Sofar event and was immediately greeted and welcome by some of the best staff in the biz, especially my boy Pablo at the bar who is a master in his craft, that being mixology, and who was blessing me with my favorite cocktail here, the "super natural". Also got to indulge in the French dip sliders which are to die for and I didn't get enough off last time I was here for Yelp event. This location is perfect for Sofar events because of the intimate and cozy vibes and space. Tonight was a special night and perfect blend of good food, drinks and music in one place. As always, I enjoyed this visit and will continue to visit this gem. Btw, there's plenty of street parking nearby.

Good cocktails. Great service. I love the patio. It was very quiet when we went on a late Saturday night but it was nice to have it quiet.

I must say, "Pretty Swell" is one of my favorites in Miami Beach. Located in the chic area known as "below 5th", Pretty Swell stands out because of it's kitchen and hotel staff. I love coming in and having a cocktail and eating these perfect little creations the chef prepares! The french dip sliders were out of this world! I couldn't stop eating them. Pretty Swell is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I just hope they keep it's authenticity, and not morph into typical Miami touristy food.

I truly cannot get enough of Pretty Swell (I've literally gone every weekend for the past month). It's intimate and local while still feeling elevated. The decor is perfection - a tasteful homage to old Miami Beach. Fabulous music, often live. Great drinks. Kind staff. Exactly what South Beach has been missing. Their menu is small and intentional with a decent amount of vegan options, which is amazing! I would suggest coming here for cocktails and appetizers before dinner, or drinks after dinner. It's the perfect place to either start or end your evening. Follow them on instagram if you would like insight into their music/events schedule. Parking is tough at that end of the beach, so it is best to uber if you are not within walking distance. I'm so excited to have Pretty Swell on South Beach, and can't wait to continue to support them in the future.

Just discovered!! Super happy hour Excellent oysters Excellent food Great staff A new gem for SoFi Will return for sure

Yum! I sat on their charming front patio and had the tuna tartare and the mushroom toast. Both were really good- the avocado toast was particularly awesome. The plates are for sharing so going with 4 people means you get to try more things. Very friendly service.

Hidden gem. Bojo style intimate bar right inside a hotel. The vibes were relaxed. Bartender and server had great personalities. Food was AMAZING. We got a few cocktails (which were also delicious) and picked on the mushroom toast, tuna tacos, and ceviche. It was the perfect amount of food for the 3 of us to soak up some of the alcohol and continue our night. They're trying to build up a local following and I can definitely see this being a cool hidden spot for us SoBe residents to hang and grab a bite and a drink!

this place is SO cute and the food is amazing. I was visiting Miami and this is by far one of my favorite spots. The food is fresh and beautiful, and the vibes allow you to feel like you are in your own little world. I appreciate the atmosphere and I love the vibe. thank you pretty swell!

Cute, unassuming little spot on the beach. Perfect for cocktails or a bite at the bar with friends or a date. Delicious small plates including tacos, salads and toasts. Will definitely be back!

Food was great, the employees made sure we were taking care of, this is a place I would recommend to anyone. This place is a must, the place is fantastic. Jacob the head chef was amazing, I would definitely be back to this place.

Great food great drinks 5 stars! Love the tocos and the cocktails are as good as the best in any city!
