"Tropezón is an Andalusian gin and tapas bar on Española Way. And it's very worth weaving through the street’s omnipresent crowd of tourists. The space—a 50/50 split between a bar and dining room—has a snug interior featuring lots of wood and legs of jamón hanging from the ceiling. In other words: exactly the kind of spot where you can spend a couple hours grazing on small plates and sipping gin. They have a selection of infused gin, ranging from mango to nori and shio kombu. The food menu is mostly tapas, like a pan con tomate and gambas al ajillo—but there are also larger entrees like a duck confit paella. Whether you come to drink or eat (or, ideally, both) this is the reservation to make next time you need a fun night out." - Team Infatuation
"Reliable date night options in South Beach are sparse. But Tropezón is a fun gin and tapas bar on Española Way. Just about every table in the restaurant is perfect for couples, the cocktails are outstanding, and the duck confit paella is perfect for two. If things go well, there's also a cute outdoor wine bar within walking distance: Bar Derrière. You can get a bottle for $50 to $60 and drink it in an alleyway that feels pleasantly secluded." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"If you assumed a gin bar would make a great martini—good job. You are correct. We like the food here too, but Tropezón’s gin is special. They have a great selection of infused gins—their fino martini uses hojiblanca gin and their espresso martini has Madagascar vanilla gin. This is, in case you haven’t figured it out, a place for gin lovers. But we also really love the space, a 50/50 split between a bar and dining room with a snug interior featuring lots of wood and legs of jamón hanging from the ceiling." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"It’s fitting that the best restaurant on Española Way is actually a Spanish restaurant. Tropezón is a fun spot decorated with posters of old western films and a huge cocktail menu that will excite the Negroni lover in your life. Try to come with at least four people so you can order a bunch of tapas like charcoal tempura boquerones, pan con tomate, and garlicky gambas that are large enough to be the center on a shrimp basketball team. For bigger entrees, prioritize the crisp cochinillo that comes on a bed of swiss chard. Tropezón is also a fun place to drink, with dozens of gin infusions that are put to use in great cocktails." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"The Spanish-influenced spot on Espanola Way boasts a tapas-style menu featuring shareable dishes like pan con tomate, tortilla Española, patatas bravas, jamon Iberico, and gazpacho. Gin is the star of the drink menu, offering a collection of more than 20 house-infused gins alongside other updated classics like rose sangria and gin martinis." - Amber Love Bond
