Rishtedar 305 is a new Indian-inspired cocktail bar in Wynwood

Get ready for a culturally immersive cocktail experience in Wynwood. Rishtedar 305, a nightlife-driven offshoot of the popular eponymous Indian restaurant next door, is now open and already shaking up the neighborhood’s after-dark scene.

Rishtedar 305 is a fully-formed concept that blends India's ancestral, cinematic and urban heritage with Miami’s signature energy into one immersive space. While it shares DNA with the original Rishtedar restaurant, this new venue stands on its own with a separate entrance, its own programming and a clear focus on a sensory journey that incorporates sound, mood and mixology.

The bar is designed to feel transportive without tipping into theme-park territory. There's warm lighting, layered textures and vibe that shifts as the night goes on. Nightly programming sets the mood: Thursdays are all about colorful, high-energy Bollywood beats, Fridays slow things down with Vimana—a more introspective night inspired by ancient Indian myths that features softer lighting and hypnotic electronic sounds—and Saturdays move through a dual journey, starting luminous and ceremonial before turning bold and urban as the night heats up.

But the expertly-crafted cocktails are the main event here. Drinks draw from traditional Indian ingredients and modern techniques, with house infusions, aromatic spices and layered presentations. Highlights include a spicy mango margarita, a masala mule and huerto hindú, along with thoughtful zero-proof options like watermelon holi heat and mango masala mirage.

Food plays a supporting but essential role. The menu leans into late-night, shareable dishes like crispy butter chicken bites, spiced sandwiches filled with tikka chicken, kebabs and a signature Mumbai hot dog with a tandoori-style sausage, tamarind chutney, spiced onions and crispy potatoes.

Rishtedar, the theatrical, clay-pot-driven Indian restaurant, opened in Miami in 2023. Rishtedar 305 extends that same immersive philosophy into nightlife, offering Wynwood something a little more transportive, and definitely more interesting than your average night out.

Rishtedar 305 is open Sunday through Wednesday from noon to 10pm, with happy hour Monday through Thursday from 5 to 7pm. Thursday through Saturday, it transforms into an after-hours destination from 10pm to 1am.
