The Broken Shaker
The poolside bar at the Freehand Hotel earned two James Beard nominations and a Best American Hotel Bar award from Tales of the Cocktail by treating its garden as a cocktail ingredient. House-made elixirs, syrups, and infusions drawn from herbs grown steps from the bar top produce drinks with a freshness that imported ingredients cannot replicate. The tropical courtyard, disco ball, mismatched furniture, sparkling pool, sets a tone that dozens of Miami bars have attempted to copy. None have matched the original's combination of craft and chaos.

★ TOP 10SPIRITEDHotel BarViceversa
Valentino Longo, trained at Stravinskij Bar Rome, the Ritz London, and Corinthia London before winning Bombay Sapphire's Most Imaginative Bartender in 2019, opened this Italian aperitivo bar at The Elser Hotel in 2024. The Negroni Sbagliato leads sales, the Affogato Martini folds housemade pistachio gelato into an espresso martini framework, and the sixty-seat room blends Italian heritage with Miami's cosmopolitan energy. ViceVersa brings a European aperitivo discipline to a city that was overdue for one. It won Best U.S. Hotel Bar at the 2026 Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards.

NORTH AMERICA'S 50 BESTHotel BarSwizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery
Named Best Cocktail Bar in Florida for 2025 and ranked No. 78 on North America's 50 Best extended list, this Collins Avenue rum bar at The Stiles Hotel builds its program around the Caribbean's defining spirit with a depth that casual tiki bars cannot approach. Regional Top 10 Honoree at the 2025 Spirited Awards for Best U.S. Hotel Bar (East), Swizzle operates late enough to catch the post-midnight crowd and seriously enough to hold its own against daytime scrutiny. The rum collection alone justifies a dedicated visit.
