Sipsip Rum Bar

The 10 Best Rooftop Restaurants & Bars In Miami

"Sipsip, a rooftop bar and restaurant in Coconut Grove’s Mayfair House Hotel & Garden, isn’t one of those mini rooftops. You really feel like you’re on a roof here, and the eastern view includes a slice of Biscayne Bay. The small, mostly seafood menu isn't too impressive, so this is more a place to drink, especially if you’re in the mood for tiki cocktails or something frozen. The adjacent pool is hotel guests-only, but Sipsip is still a good place to pretend you’re on vacation. They also have a fireplace for those six nights a year when the temperature approaches something that resembles “cold." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

Poolside rooftop bar. Writing this review based on our visit during the month of November. Weather was cool, 70 degrees, with a nice breeze. This poolside bar offers a shaded area with bar stools as well as poolside service. Cocktail menu is small, but for a reason. Ingredients were carefully selected and you can tell effort and thought were put into crafting the drink selection. I sampled 3 of the crafted cocktails on the menu. Each drink stood out and had its own unique flavor profile. They are light, but strong at the same time. These are excellent drinks if your looking to hang by the pool or share some laughs with friends while taking in the breathtaking views of coconut grove, the ocean, and Miami epic skyline. We did order 2 appetizers, the conch fritters and hummus. The conch was crispy and perfectly cooked inside, the aoli sauce complimented it perfectly. It came with 6 fritters and they went down very well. Not greasy or under filled. The hummus was delicious and the baked pita bread complimented it well. Sip Sip is an oasis in the desert. I will.be returning

Mariana is amazing! She is so gentle yet refreshing. You don’t find that often. Working hospitality I understand the frustrations that could come behind serving guests. But she is knowledgeable, understanding, patient and kind. Thank you Mariana for being who you are. I’ll be coming back just for you!

The views and atmosphere alone are amazing however, ever since this place has started getting popular their service and prices have gotten out of hand! I used to come for happy hour a lot because it was great! However, last happy hour cost me $27 for a spicy margarita….Absolutely ridiculous! They also don’t give you an itemized receipt so beware! The whole point of happy hour is a discount….will never be back for happy hour. Go spend your money at every other place in the grove!!

Cute little rooftop pool and bar. Good live music parties every one and a while too. I saw someone jump into the pool and splash some other people eating next to the pool and it was hilarious.

Went to SipSip for a couple drinks before dinner during their happy hour. We ordered a couple including a Mai Tai, described on the menu as Appleton Estate VX (Appleton doesn't have a five year, and a five year would just be V, must be a typo for the 15 year), Wrey & Nephew over proof, orgeat, lime, rock syrup, Curacao. That sounds like the perfect Mai Tai. Unfortunately, I got Goslings, Bacardi, COCONUT, lime, and triple sec, not a Mai Tai. That's a bait and switch (I think I just named the drink he made). When I asked about the orgeat, one bartender told me he would never put that in a Mai Tai and instead use coconut rum, it's Florida. They had five or six bartenders and one finally knew how to make it correctly although they didn't stock the rums listed on the menu. When the bill came, they charged full price for the drinks, not the happy hour price. On the way out of the hotel I complained to the hotel manager, he got the food manager who is completely inexperienced and let me leave without even a sorry. Owning a restaurant myself I know not to let a customer leave upset, give them a reason to come back with maybe a free round of drinks or some kind of discount in the future, it's a lot cheaper than losing all the business from the bad word of mouth. I told everyone I talked to about the bad drinks and a couple will see it here. EDIT: Thank you for the clarification on the rum. I wasn't aware Appleton made a blended rum. They don't have it on their website, only the nice rums they make. I'm not sure how I forgot to mention that a "rum bar" should have a bigger selection of rum, 6 or 7 is a joke.

Went for Friday night Happy Hour. Beautiful location and views. The place was busy so it took a little to have our order taken but the staff was friendly. And the music was amazing. Great DJ! We will definitely be back.

$20 per mixed drink. So $100+ just to get 5 drinks. Be reasonable…

This rooftop is located in the Mayfair hotel in Coconut Grove. It is easy to get to. The place is such a vibe. We went during sunset time. It was beautiful. The menu was on point. I wish I took more photos . But I was so caught up with the location . A stunning place to watch the sunset . The prices are usual Miami prices with gratuity added. Nicest rooftop in coconut grove. Perfect spot for a catch up with a friend or a date. Definitely coming back here !

Fantastic little spot on the roof top! Excellent drink options not just rum although that's their thing. We also ordered the shrimp cocktail and ceviche. Really delicious. The servers were attentive and made some dang good cocktails. I may have had 1 too many.

There's nothing better than a rooftop pool/bar area, especially with a view of the gulf! The aesthetic is a whole island vibe and really makes you feel like you're on a five star vacation (even just for a couple hours). The cabana beds are a great option for private lounge seating, and the pool is the perfect size for the space. SipSip also has a full drink and food menu, and tried the fish dip, ceviche, and even the beef hot dog was divine. It's certainly not somewhere you go just for the food (probably more-so the view and the rum), but for bar food the options are pretty expansive and I can appreciate that.

I worked at Sipsip while staying at the Mayfair. The service was excellent and attentive, I was even able to connect with our server over our New York routes. I got the Island Chicken Skewers and the sweet chili glaze was the perfect amount of spice for me. I loved the views from the rooftop, you can either see the water or Coconut Grove depending which way you're looking out. I would definitely recommend this spot as a midday remote work station. The Wi-Fi is great, it's not too noisy and you get to enjoy beautiful views when you look up from your email!

I After dirr Sipsip Calypso Rum Bar tonight, perched atop the newly revamped Mayfair House Hotel & Garden, seeking a quiet refuge after a delightful dinner at Chugs. The Grove was unusually tranquil, with only a smattering of tourists and snowbirds meandering about. Entering the lobby, I was immediately struck by the changes since my last visit. The hotel had undergone a complete makeover, exuding a fresh, modern vibe. As I ascended to the rooftop, anticipation bubbled within me, eager to see what awaited. Stepping onto the rooftop terrace, I was greeted by a transformed Sipsip. The bar sparkled with newfound splendor, inviting me to pull up a stool and unwind. Behind the bar stood Steve, whose friendly smile and infectious enthusiasm set the tone for the evening. When I asked for his recommendation, Steve's eyes twinkled mischievously before suggesting the house margarita. And oh, what a recommendation it was! Each sip was a burst of citrusy bliss, leaving me craving more. As the night wore on, I found myself enchanted by the ambience of Sipsip, soaking in the warm breeze and starlit sky. With a grateful heart, I bid farewell to Steve and the unforgettable experience, knowing that I would be back for more soon. Here's to the magic of Sipsip Calypso Rum Bar,and great service from Steve where every visit feels like coming home. Cheers to five stars and endless memories!

Sip sip is the cutest little rum bar on the rooftop of the Mayfair. I've been a few times and the water views of the Grove Marina are excellent. As for drinks, I've gotten piña coladas here and an Aperol spritz. Both were solid, as this gives vacation drink vibes all the way. They also offer food, and I love their fish dip. Regardless of if you are staying in the hotel you can enjoy this rooftop bar. As the weather cools down this is a great spot to enjoy some drinks outdoors.

I was in the Coconut Grove and wanted to try SipSip's happy hour. I've been once before and really enjoyed it at night but wanted to experience it during the day. Came by around 530pm for their Friday happy hour that's from 5-7pm. SipSip is a rooftop bar located in the Mayfair Hotel. The rooftop is very nice and has a lovely view of the water. There's seating in the bar and tables around the area. The staff was kind and the menu included cocktails, beer, wine and some bites. Definitely a great experience and a must visit spot in the grove!

I had the pleasure of visiting the rooftop rum bar located at the Mayfair hotel, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The combination of the pool, the panoramic views, and the extensive drink selection made for an unforgettable evening. Sipping on delicious rum cocktails while enjoying the cityscape from such heights was a unique thrill. The attentive staff ensured we had a fantastic time, and the ambiance was both chic and relaxed. Whether you're staying at the hotel or just looking for a stunning place to unwind, this rooftop bar is a must-visit destination. It's the perfect spot to take in the city's beauty while enjoying top-notch libations. I recommend trying their crispy fish tacos. They are absolutely DELICIOUS!

So happy we got to take part in this Yelp event at the Sip Sip Calypso Rum Bar! I have been wanting to visit the Mayfair in Coconut Grove for the longest time so this was a perfect venue for me. The vibe was friendly and fun, enjoying the ground floor level of the hotel with drinks and appetizers before the weather improved and we took the party upstairs. The views of the ocean there were amazing! The bartenders and servers were great, bringing us all kinds of yummy dishes and mixing excellent drinks - my favorite were the fish tacos and the margaritas. The DJ was really good too. All in all, a great Yelp event, thank you to Farah and the Yelp team for making this weeknight extraordinary!

A rooftop bar in the heart of coconut grove at the Mayfair Hotel. If you've never been to coconut grove I'd suggest you check out the Mayfair it's like a historical landmark. The bar is great and offers a Caribbean vibe of music and cocktails.

Secret, top, top secret place. The Rooftop bar at the Mayfair. Classic Polynesian cocktails, mai tai, zombie, et al. First class all the way, great service great drinks. They have a great raw bar, have a snack, have a drink a little closer to heaven in Coconut Grove.

I came here for my partner's boyfriend on a random Friday night- it was located in the heart of Coconut Grove & the vibes were immaculate . We didn't order the food - but stayed for drinks & really took full advantage of the atmosphere! There was a DJ all night & a fire place (who knew we needed one in Miami) overall great experience! Will definitely be returning.

Truly a hidden gem. We're fans of rooftop bars and I happened to see this one mentioned in an article that lists the better ones in Miami. Sipsip is located on the roof of the Mayfair Hotel, adjacent to CocoWalk in Coconut Grove. Very laid back and chill vibe with a bit of a Caribbean/Polynesian feel to it, featuring well-poured drinks that are created by friendly and outgoing staff. The cocktail menu offers a good variety, and ours were $15 each which is about average for better Miami area bars. While the views from the rooftop here are not the same as the ones from bars atop the taller buildings in Brickell, the view is decent and there was a constant breeze coming off the bay which was refreshing. To boot, the entire Mayfair hotel is pet friendly, so our pup was welcome here at Sipsip, and the staff even gave him a dish of water and lots of attention. Sipsip also offers a food menu, but we came here after we'd already had dinner, so we didn't try anything. The operating hours here on Yelp most likely need to be updated, as the bartender told us they're now extending their hours on weekend evenings to be open a bit later.

Beautiful Rooftop bar located in the Mayfair hotel. They specialize in tropical rum cocktails and have happy hour on weekdays from 5-7pm. On weekends they have live music. Perfect spot to enjoy sunsets/golden hour.

I really enjoyed the sip sip calypso rum bar. It is perfectly located at the Mayfair hotel in Coco walk. The hotel was beautiful and immersive. I will definitely be having a staycation in the future. The margarita was my favorite drink, it was well crafted and had a good combination of sweet and saltiness. The staff was friendly and provided good service.

Lourdes D.

Came to Sipsip after the King Mango Strut for their food and drink specials. I tried the Hemingway Daiquiri and the frozen strawberry daiquiri, which were both very tasty. My boo + friends ordered the wings (which they raved about), mahi sliders and fish dip with plantain chips. I only tried the fish dip when it came to food, and it was pretty good! I think the regular prices are a bit steep, so I'd definitely come when they have happy hour or other types of specials. The atmosphere is really chill and laidback with an amazing view. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Will definitely return when I'm in the area.

What a spot! Although it is incredibly hard to find as you traverse the halls of the Mayfair hotel & the private elevator to find this rooftop bar, your hard work will pay off! The vibes are immaculate, they are dog friendly, and they have an awesome modern architectural fireplace they light at night. It began to sprinkle as me and my friends family sat outside enjoying cocktails, but the employees graciously covered us with umbrellas to the best of their ability. Their happy hour is great, and the service is even better.

I absolutely LOVED sipsip! the atmosphere was so nice, I felt like i was on vacation in the bahamas. The drinks were so so good! I got the goombay smash which tasted so tropical. The staff was so nice and the DJ was great. This is a perfect place to go with friends for a really fun time, good drinks and a great view of miami!

Yelp

Sipsip is a great rooftop bar right in the heart of Coconut Grove! The views at sunset are spectacular, and they have an extensive happy hour menu including both food and drink specials. I recommend the sliders and the rum cocktail, and they have a good selection of beers as well. There's usually a lot of staff members even at peak hours when the bar tends to get busy, so I've never had to wait too long to be served. To get to the rooftop, just walk thru the lobby of the hotel and head to the elevators on the left of the atrium. You won't be disappointed!

Yelp

Yelp event review: this newly renovated roof top area definitely has a stunning view of the grove and a relaxong vibe. We had delicious fish dip with hot and crispy maduros and veggies. The fish tacos were also fresh with lightly breaded fish that made me want to eat 4 more! The bartenders were friendly, fast and ready to take care of our large group. Margaritas were great and the frozen drinks looked refreshing as well. I would recommend this spot for those who are grabbing drinks and apps, and sitting back to enjoy the scene. It did rain during the event, with little coverage, so if it looks like rain, may be better to wait for an overcast day.

The place is fine, just make sure to ask for an itemized receipt. We stayed at the mayfair house for a wedding last weekend and several wedding guests were also victims of receiving a bill that had an option to tip but didn't say anywhere that 18% gratuity had already been added. It felt very grimy

I wanted to check the place out to see if they played authentic Caribbean music such as Soca and Calypso since the name of the bar says so. Unfortunately, it is the pool bar of the hotel catering to their guests and playing the BeeGees and other old school American music. Nothing Caribbean, besides the menu which I didn't get a chance to try. So that was one. The real reason for the one star, that we sat at the bar for approximately 30 minutes and no one came to greet us or take our order. They blatantly just ignored us, so we left.

Rain G.

Yelp

Came for a treat after the Mango Strut. Only the happy hour menu was being offered but it was delicious, as were our daiquiris. This remains a great, super casual place with a small but wonderful menu (think beach shack) to enjoy with your favorite rum cocktails. Great view, great times ... love the gentle live music on weekends. I wish we were staying at the hotel, prepared to laze in the pool.

E A.

Yelp

View from the rooftop and setting were great, but the food and service were bad. No one was on hand to seat us at a table when we arrived. The drinks took 20 min to arrive, food took even longer. Mahi sliders were teeny tiny. I asked for no peppers on them and they came with them anyway. Fish dip was very cold and a bit hard. The drink (dark n stormy) was the only good thing. Server didn't check on us to see how we were doing, if we wanted another round, nor even to bring the check. When I walked up to the bar to ask our server for the check, it was handed to me without a "sorry" or even "thank you." And the bartender complained about where I was standing. In summary, for drinks at the bar, this place may be great; but for food and sit down service, you're better off elsewhere.
