Craft cocktails & elevated bites with a leafy terrace & lively vibe
"If you’re looking for a bar with a little more energy—perhaps one that plays top 40 hits at a fairly high volume—try The Wilder. This place will definitely make you feel like you’re at a bar, but it’s not too chaotic. There are plenty of places to sit down and the drinks are solid. The bar is broken up into three different spaces: a front bar, a bigger lounge, and an outdoor patio. They’re all perfectly fine places to sip cocktails in nice clothes on a Saturday night." - ryan pfeffer
"Club vibe-y come the weekend and always boasting a chill patio, this is a place to be seen. You can snag a classic cocktail (i.e., mules, margaritas, and old fashioned) for $7 during its 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. happy hour Tuesday through Saturday. Otherwise, it’s wild Virgo’s Groove – made with a mushroom-infused Angel’s Envy, vermouth, and sherry – which is worth the splurge every time."

"This attractive bar and lounge draw inspiration from LA and Monaco hotels, blended with Old Florida flair. Patrons can savor a variety of wines, spirits, and classic cocktails such as mules, margaritas, and old-fashioned variants, all for $7. Small plates, ranging from $5 to $7, include sweet corn and cheddar croquettes, french dip empanadas, and tuna tataki. Happy hour is available from Tuesday to Saturday, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m." - Eater Staff
An elegant, three-room lounge with a breezy garden patio and a bar team that treats classics and originals with equal care. Frequently praised by Eater Miami and named Best Bar (Broward) by Miami New Times, it balances craft cocktails with lively late-night energy.
