Welcome to Miami, where the bars are plentiful and it's always a great time to go drinking. Sun's out? Fuel up on frozen delights at a waterfront bar (and don’t forget to ask for a floater!). Trying to impress a date? Miami’s got sexy speakeasies galore. Catching up with friends? Do so with a glass of something funky and a bowl of warm olives at a charming Miami wine bar. One of the Miami bars in this guide even stays open until 7am, should that be your destiny. Perhaps surprisingly, Miami is also home to plenty of places to drink when you're not drinking, where the low and no-ABV bevs are just as flavorful as their full-proof brethren. This is all to say, if you want to sip cocktails and party all night, you're in the right place. Wondering where to start? We’re breaking down our favorite bars in Miami, spots slinging drinks so good, you'll be hard-pressed not to order another round. July 2025: It’s been nearly a year since we last took full stock of Miami’s bar scene, and a lot has changed. Some of our favorite spots have closed, like MO Bar and Lounge at the Mandarin Oriental, in this case, to be demolished with the rest of the hotel sometime in 2026. Others we’ve moved off the list, like ZeyZey, a gem that skews decidedly more music venue. There are a few new entries, too, including Willy’s, a neighborhood gay bar in Wynwood, and Magie, a natural wine garden in Little River. Finally, we’ve updated and streamlined the entire guide to include the most up-to-date info and sc

Pick a neighborhood in Miami: South Beach, Coconut Grove, Wynwood or Little Havana. No matter the night of the week, the Magic City is brimming with things to do—yes, even when there's a summer storm on the horizon. Now that the steamy weather has settled in, it's time to take advantage of thinner crowds and sunny beach weather (or explore what to do in Miami when it's raining). Art and cultural events are popping off across Miami this week, including a space-themed art party for kids at the PAMM, an Asian-Latino street festival in Wynwood and a charming outdoor jazz night in the Design District. Families can feast at the Smorgasburg Miami outdoor food market, get their hands dirty at a larger-than-life bug exhibit in Coral Gables, or explore the fascinating new Frost Science show, AI: More Than Human, which makes its way from the esteemed Barbican Centre across the pond. We've got tons of activities to jump into whenever the mood strikes—plus tourist attractions that even locals approve of. In this list, we've handpicked special events and happenings over the next seven days, enough to have you saying, "This was the best week ever." And if you're looking specifically for weekend events in Miami, we've rounded those up into a handy guide, too.

Hurricane season is officially underway, which means a higher probability of some less-than-ideal weather breezing in. No need to fret, though. Summer in Miami is actually pretty idyllic, a more chilled-out season when crowds thin and happenings cater to the locals. Take this weekend: a natural wine and book pairing party, an Asian-Latino street festival and a citrus-themed summer party on the water are all on our agenda, plus plenty of ways to get out and entertain the kids, whether it's raining in Miami or not. When it's not tropical storming, the weather forecast is hot and sticky, making right now an amazing time to post up at the beach, track down a buzzy Miami rooftop pool or escape the elements altogether, perhaps by checking in at one of Miami's many world-class spas. There's a major concert (ahead, Coldplay!), DJ-fueled day party, bustling farmer's market, or new museum exhibit for every stripe of weekend warrior. Ready to have some fun in the 305? Here are the best things to do in Miami this weekend.  RECOMMENDED: Things to do in Miami

In case you've missed it, Miami's dining scene has become one of the most exciting in the country and, arguably, the world. Over the last decade or so, the city's collective palate has matured to encompass so much more than steakhouses, Italian chains and homey Cuban spots (though we've still got plenty of those, too, and even a few in this guide). One day, you can be sipping cocktails at a sleek new omakase counter; the next, tucking into a bowl of golden-hued Peruvian ceviche. It's a beautiful, flavorful and occasionally overwhelming melange of cultures colliding on our plates in Miami, and we wouldn't want it any other way. Then there’s trying to balance out all these newcomers from New York with the old-school spots. You’ve got the classic restaurants—the ones your parents went to, the ones their parents went to—and you’ve got the new kids, the restaurants that pop up with a bang, get a few glossy reviews, and then vanish before you’ve even had a chance to figure out the parking situation. Some spots manage to straddle both worlds, delivering the kind of meals that stick with you long after the check has been paid. These are the places our editors have listed below: Miami’s best restaurants right now, along with our tried-and-true tips for reserving, ordering and more. July 2025: The summer slowdown seems to have finally arrived, and with it, a flurry of heartbreaking Miami restaurant closures. Among the casualties (at least, for now) is Maty's, the Peruvian restaurant wh

Mornings in Miami come with consequences. That last tequila shot I took at 2am? A terrible idea. The blurry Uber ride home from a Miami club? A mystery best left unsolved. But fear not, because brunch—the city’s most sacred meal—is here to save us. Whether it’s a cortadito strong enough to restart your nervous system or a plate of chilaquiles at your local Mexican spot to silence regrets, Miami delivers. From bottomless rosé in South Beach to arepas worth a Sunday pilgrimage and an Instagram-worthy bagel tower, the best brunch in Miami will make you feel human again. Or at least human enough for round two. Let’s eat. March 2025: Early mornings aren’t the time to wade through dozens of options, so we’ve trimmed this list of the best brunches in Miami down to our favorites. Unfortunately, our favorite from last time, La Mar, is about to close and take a few months to relocate, but don’t stress, because we still have your morning-ish plans sorted with the new No. 1 spot Michael's—which just extended its weekend brunch to 5pm—plus a host of other favorites. 

July 2025: Hurricane season kicked off last month and, judging from the several deluges since, it's on track to be a wet one! The summer storms have arrived, threatening to put a damper on our good time. But don't let the gray skies fool you—July in Miami is still packed with fun events and things to do, including dozens of Independence Day events, major tour stops from the likes of Coldplay and Morgan Wallen, a slew of summer festivals and more. Dive into the action with our up-to-the-minute guide to the best things to do in Miami right now. Locals and tourists can agree that the best things to do in Miami extend beyond ounging on the sand—though it goes without saying that spending some time on the best Miami beaches is fundamental to life in the 305. Aside from dabbling in our famous nightlife and exploring Miami's best bars, no trip would be complete without scoping out the booming culinary scene and our award-winning Miami restaurants. In between sunbathing, swimming and sipping cocktails, check off these essential Miami experiences, a mix of year-round attractions, seasonal events, cultural staples and exciting one-offs vetted by our expert editors and contributors. (We're a team of born-and-raised locals and passionate Miami transplants with an unhealthy aversion to staying home). By the way, this list is curated, as always, but isn’t ranked—we just couldn’t choose favorites.

Summer is kicking into gear: It's July and, believe it or not, Miami actually gets hotter than this. (August, we're giving you some serious side-eye.) Leaving out the perpetual desire to shower after stepping foot outside, July in Miami really has so much to offer, including plenty of great backup plans for a rainy day and fun things to do with kids while they're out of school. We don’t see as many tourists this time of year, except for around the Fourth of July holiday weekend, which means a more relaxed pace, a break from the heavy traffic and July events more catered to the locals. Below, find our regularly updated guide, in no particular order, to the best July events in Miami to add to your calendar. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

Ranking the best beaches in Miami is a bit like trying to rank your children. They’re all stunningly beautiful, popular and unique in their own ways—and how dare you try to say otherwise! Of course, like human children, there are pros and cons to each of our beloved Miami beaches. And, much to our benefit, the pros vastly outweigh the cons along our strip of Atlantic paradise. With so many amazing options to choose from, we’ve put together this roadmap outlining the very best beaches Miami has to offer, along with a handful of worthy swaths just outside the county limits. Below, we break down each Miami beach according to the occasions or crowds we think you might be after. From sporty spots with windsurfing and nature trails to family-friendly parks and even a clothing-optional escape, there’s a beach in Miami for anyone scouting a bit of sun and fun this season. We’re also calling out the latest amenities and must-see attractions near each beach, including beachfront dining, historic landmarks and more. Grab some SPF and see you on the sand!

As Miami’s skyline continues to climb and sprawl in all directions, so too has its rooftop drinking scene reached breathtaking heights. Many of the city’s newest highrises have opened as luxe hotels, complete with plush rooftop hangouts offering panoramic waterfront and urban views. From boutique spots with bohemian vibes to exclusive oceanfront towers, rooftops in Coconut Grove, Brickell, Miami Beach and beyond are now home to buzzy watering holes made for sipping cocktails and snapping iconic pics. Of course, you’ll also find fantastic boozy terraces perched throughout the city in historic buildings, funky food halls, Wynwood warehouses and more. Unfortunately, those breezy vistas don’t come cheap—which is why you’ll also want to cross-reference our guide to Miami’s best happy hours on your mission to imbibe at the best rooftop bars in Miami. June 2025: Now that we’re in the thick of summer again, it’s time to take stock of Miami’s rooftop scene. (Because, if we’re not on a boat or dining at a waterfront restaurant in Miami, how else are we going to survive being outside in this heat?) Several old staples, including Juvia in South Beach and Terras in Little Havana, have closed since our last update. We’ve also cut this guide nearly in half and added just one new spot, Shiso in Wynwood, so that you can get in the elevator knowing you’ll be spending your money only at the very best rooftop bars Miami has to offer right now.

My favorite thing about South Beach is that it’s never been just one thing. In your 20s—and in mine!—it’s where people go to find Miami’s best clubs. Once you’ve outgrown your velvet-rope era or you’re in search of something to do before or after hitting the dance floor, South Beach suddenly becomes the ‘it’ place for restaurants and supper clubs (we call them clubstaurants around here), as well as funky hidden gems, including several speakeasy bars. In between hitting one of Miami’s best beaches and going out, there’s plenty of culture to keep you entertained, from the historic Art Deco architecture to the world-class museums. The neighborhood has range—and our guide to the best things to do in South Beach guide you to the places where you can experience it all. RECOMMENDED: The best restaurants in South Beach

Not to be a downer, but it rains in Miami. Like, a lot. Especially in the summertime, and especially (seemingly) whenever you had plans to do something outside. Whether that comes as a surprise or you were fully privy to Miami’s tropical wiles but simply hoped for the best, here we are. It’s wet out, and you’re looking for something to do that won’t totally spoil the day. The good news? We’ve got plenty of sweet indoor activities in Miami for when the storms roll in.  Shopping is always an excellent option, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to get off the sand and explore the city’s world-class museums. But really, there’s so much more to Miami beyond the beach, so consider now the perfect opportunity to take it all in. Below, we’ve sourced an in-depth, fully vetted guide to making the most of your rainy day in Miami, including kid-friendly activities, cozy adventures, self-care moments and boozy options, too.

June marks the official kickoff of the slow season in Miami—in tandem with the start of hurricane season. But if we're being honest, the action doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. Wynwood Pride picks up the torch for Pride month celebrations, with a lineup of rooftop pool parties, lesbian nights and a drag festival all on the schedule this month. There's also a queer roller disco we've got our eye on and the annual TEA dance at the Arsht Center. Beyond the LGTBQ+ fun to look forward to this June, we've got plenty of concerts, exhibitions, street festivals and outdoor activities to get excited about—not to mention that visits to a Miami museum make for an excellent thing to do in Miami when it rains (it tends to do that quite a bit in June). Below, find our continually updated list of the best June events in Miami right now. RECOMMENDED: The best things to do in Miami

Gramps is a bar that seems unlikely in today’s Wynwood, towering with luxury live-work developments and teeming with fancy new restaurants. Yes, a few important arts institutions remain in the neighborhood, and there’s lots of colorful graffiti everywhere. But for an idea of what Wynwood 1.0 was like, Gramps will transport you there—and it’s beautiful. One of the area’s original watering holes, Gramps channels Old Florida with its tropical dive aesthetic, vintage sports memorabilia, strong cocktails and charmingly ramshackle patio. Its outdoor stage, intimate backroom theater, eclectic event programming and gritty, DIY sensibility have made it a favorite of hipster-leaning locals and adventurous visitors for more than a decade.  Like its nautical logo suggests, Gramps anchors a neighborhood that feels in many ways so disconnected from its former identity as a cheap and boozy enclave for artists. Come here to catch a punk show—or a drag show, watch a soccer match, screen a 35mm film or just escape the heat with a cold beer and blasting A/C. If you’re in the mood to dance, count on a solid lineup of local DJs whose goal is to make you do just that most nights of the week. The bar opens daily at noon, which means that anytime you happen to find yourself in the area makes for a great excuse to stop in for a smoky Penicillin or hydrating Cucumber in Paradise cocktail. While you’re at it, order a slice of El Peppe from Pizza Tropical, the walk-up window in Gramps’ backyard that sli

Thank whichever ingenious toddler publicists devised this holiday and celebrate National Chicken Finger Day with a kids-approved outdoor festival at the Miami Children’s Museum. On Saturday, July 27th from 11am to 4pm, partake in free chicken fingers from Raising Cane’s, snow cones, a foam zone and a live performance by the South Florida Gay Men’s Chorus. Little ones can also play volleyball and build at the Imagination Playground in the KABOOM! Peace Park. All in all, a perfect summer day of food, music and fun for the whole fam.

Bassist-singer-producer Blu DeTiger brings her signature funk-pop sound to Miami via a day-to-night performance at Palm Tree Club. Set against the Biscayne Bay waterfront, expect an energetic live set, flowing tropical cocktails and peak golden-hour people-watching. Seriously, the high-key Miami outfits on display here give the cast of Love Island a run for its money.

Here's a swoon-worthy event for Miami's hip cross-section of natty-wine-and-lit-lovers. On Sunday, July 27th from 6 to 8pm, cozy up at Books & Books' Coral Gables flagship to enjoy four funky tastings from Florida-based distributor Nada Wine, each thoughtfully paired with a book—from Call Me By Your Name to Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. Tickets are $48 and include all tastings; books sold separately on-site. Ages 21+.

The block is hot this weekend at Smorgasburg Miami as Wynwood's popular outdoor food market hosts its first-ever Asian x Latino street festival. On July 26th and 27th, Fast & Flavorful brings together cars, culture and crushable eats from 2 to 11pm. Imperial Moto hosts a bikes-and-coffee pop-up experience at the Smorgasbar while Los De La Fiebre rolls up for an old-school car showcase and El Bori food truck brings the authentic Puerto Rican flavor. Buckle up for dominoes, vinyl DJ sets, a silent disco and cross-cultural flavor bombs, all nestled inside Miami’s largest open-air food market.

You might not be summering on the Mediterranean coast right now, but Miami is basically the next best thing—especially if you find yourself at this coastal summer-themed rager at Regatta Grove. On Saturday, July 26th, the waterfront party celebrates the sunshiniest citrus fruit, lemons, with a lineup of zesty cocktails and paired bites, lemon jello shots (free with RSVP before 8pm), dessert tastings, themed bars and live entertainment well past the golden hour. Free

Pre-K little ones blast off into the cosmic world of Gyula Kosice: Intergalactic at this month's PAMM Art Storytime. Inspired by Kosice’s futuristic sculptures and glowing, water-filled works, the event includes a kid-friendly tour of the exhibition, a special reading of astronaut Chris Hadfield’s space-themed picture book, The Darkest Dark, and an out-of-this-world art-making activity. Free with RSVP; limited to the first 50 guests. Pre-registration required.

With roots in Medellín, Bogotá and Barcelona, Mad Radio bills itself as a global community of music lovers with a shared passion for vinyl records and underground beats. Part night club, part all-day cafe and part radio station, the Miami outpost resides in a midcentury-era motel off Biscayne Boulevard’s historic MiMo strip. Despite its seasonally sleepy neighborhood, Mad Radio draws locals and house music-loving visitors with its friendly prices, hi-fi sound system and consistent weekly lineups of DJs, themed nights and boozy brunches. Mad Records Cafe, the brand’s casual all-day eatery, is open Tuesday through Sunday from 8am and offers separate menus of breakfast and lunch plates, healthy eats, comfort food, happy hour specials and late-night snacks. The indoor cafe space has an intimate and bohemian feel, with diner-style counter seating, a DJ booth and a few tables that look out over Biscayne. Downstairs, you’ll find more seating on the outside patio, which features plenty of shade and views of Little River. Yes, that is the Gold Rush Cabaret strip club just across the water—but you’ll barely notice with all the adorable manatees swimming by! Brunch is every Saturday and Sunday from 8am until 4pm, when you can order bottomless Aperol spritzes for $40 and vibe out to DJs spinning vinyl starting around noon. My visit during brunch gave me a chance to try items from several of the menus, including the Amazon Acaí Bowl, Burrata & Greens, Steak & Eggs and the Smashed Cheesebu

Little Havana's legendary and recently reincarnated Hoy Como Ayer live music club continues to impress with its eclectic lineup of Latin music breakouts and powerhouses. On Saturday, July 19th, the club welcomes to its stage Afro-Cuban artist Brenda Navarrete, an acclaimed singer, percussionist and one of the few badass women to rock the sacred batá drums. Known for her hyptonic performances that fuse Afro-Cuban rhythms with modern sounds, Navarrete will also perform her new single, "Iyalodde," for the intimate crowd.

On Saturday, July 19th, our favorite downtown bar is turning East Flagler Street into an all-day carnival that perfectly captures peak Florida summer: wet, hot and slightly unhinged. Hosted by the lovable dive Over Under and sweaty dance party Perreo Del Futuro, the event promises to bring the swamp to the city with a giant crocodile water slide, dunk tank, mechanical shark rides, carnival games, local vendors and music programming by folks we've personally verified have very good taste. This all-ages event is free with RSVP, but tickets will be sold on-site for the rides and games.

Explore Creole culture through its vibrant flavors and sounds at Normandy Fountain during the signature Grand Tasting event of the 4th Annual Creole Food Festival. This ticketed outdoor celebration brings together local chefs, performers and artisans to highlight the diaspora's rich diversity in the heart of Normandy Isle. Expect spirited music and dance, endless jambalaya and handcrafted art spread across the Creole Village from 6 to 10pm. 7802 Rue Vendome, Miami Beach

You might be watching the footage roll in from Bad Bunny's freshly launched Puerto Rican concert residency and lamenting the poor life decisions that have led to you not being there. Our antidote, albeit temporary? This live performance by El Laberinto del Coco at the Miami Beach Bandshell on Saturday, July 19th. Led by renowned percussionist and composer Héctor “Coco” Barez, the 15-piece Puerto Rican ensemble fuses traditional bomba with Afro-Caribbean rhythms, Latin jazz, funk and folkloric influences, creating an electrifying, layered performance that will, hopefully, transport you mentally to El Coliseo in San Juan.

Konro is a fine dining restaurant in West Palm Beach serving a wildly creative tasting menu of whatever chef Jacob Bickelhaupt has dreamt up for the night. Nadia Bickelhaupt, Jacob’s business partner and wife, takes the lead as host and also presides over the wine pairings. Though the food at Konro is exceptional—and every bit worth our trek from Miami—the intimate dinner party experience is perhaps more noteworthy, a 10-seat counter that feels both familiar and thrillingly unknown. This is achieved in no small part through Nadia, a bright and bubbly foil to Jacob's more quiet, methodical presence behind her in the kitchen. Though speaking to her from across the counter comes easy, like catching up with a friend over drinks, Nadia is an accomplished sommelier with thousands of hours of education and self-study under her belt. Each of her selections comes with a story, and her approachable delivery makes for genuinely interesting dinner table conversation as the night progresses. The pacing picks up around mid-meal, when it’s almost a one-for-one ratio of drinks per plate. But take your time: You’ll want to have all your faculties to appreciate just how well how each of Nadia’s pairings complements the chef’s whimsical, multi-layered food. After venturing to Konro to try the restaurant for ourselves, we were eager to learn more about the young somm’s journey to Konro and pick her brain on all things wine and hospitality.

After more than a year of delays, the Museum of Sex (MoSex) finally opened in Miami a few months ago, steadily unveiling bold new exhibits while drawing a stream of visitors clearly intrigued by the promise of a space with such a provocative name. Photograph: World Red Eye Not to be confused with the sex-themed museum on South Beach—that would be the World Erotic Art Museum—the Museum of Sex is a New York City import that actually feels like it could have been born right here in Miami. That’s because, as so many kitschy, Old Florida institutions in the city are being razed, glossed over and Tulum-ified, the Museum of Sex is injecting a healthy dose of humor and delightfully raunchy history back into our South Florida environs. I’m talking about glass cases filled with first-generation vibrators and archival news articles espousing the virtues of birth control pills alongside large-scale paintings of robots and humans engaged in highly graphic sex acts. The museum’s titillating temporary collection comprises thousands of works of art, photography, clothing and costumes, technological inventions and all manner of naughty historical ephemera. Photograph: World Red Eye Photograph: World Red Eye At the end of the exhibitions, you’ll watch a short film tracing the little-known history of fairs as old-timey centers of debauchery and escapism, and then you’ll enter Super Funland. It’s a sprawling erotic carnival and bar where visitors can play glory hole whack-a-mole, practice

I’ve stayed at a handful of all-inclusive beach resorts, but none have come close to my experience at the new Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. First of all: St. Vincent is stunning—like a miniature Hawaii lush with tropical forests, misty cliffs and multiple rainbows a day (seriously).  Before this trip, I admit, I couldn’t point out St. Vincent and the Grenadines on a map. (It’s a little chain of volcanic islands just north of Venezuela and south of St. Lucia.) My primary references for Sandals’ resorts were the heart-shaped pools and steamy sunset silhouettes of '90s-era TV commercials. But I’m no stranger to the beauty and laidback charm of the Caribbean. So when I was invited to visit the latest Sandals property and get acquainted with the brand’s luxurious new direction, of course, I said yes. Photograph: Courtesy Sandals Saint Vincent During my stay, I quickly learned about Sandals’ legacy as a family-owned resort group, founded by Jamaican-born entrepreneur Gordon "Butch" Stewart in 1981 and helmed by his son, Adam Stewart, since 2021. Even though the young Stewart has been working on modernizing his late father’s vision, it was clear that he and the company remain committed to the same hospitality, warmth and fun spirit of the originals. It also didn’t take long to discover that Sandals guests tend to be deeply loyal to the brand. Many of my poolside conversations centered around couples’ previous trips to other Sandals and Beaches properties. (Beaches is t

Here at Time Out, our mission is to bring you the very best of Miami, and that very importantly includes Miami's best restaurants. Of course, on that mission, we editors find ourselves dining out quite a lot. Whether we're trying out the latest buzzy concept from one of the city's homegrown star chefs, hunting down the most delicious new smash burger in a tidal wave of Miami smash burgers or suiting up to make it past the velvet rope at South Beach's hottest new clubstaurant, it's all in day's work to present you with our findings. Though we don't give full, rated reviews to every Miami restaurant, bar or venue we visit, we take a lot of time and care with the ones we do.

In case you need something else to be excited about heading into the last full week of 2024, two new highly anticipated Miami restaurants are slated to open their doors to the public for the first time this weekend. A third, from one of Miami's most lauded homegrown chefs, opened last weekend. As we know, 'tis the season to get your reservations in early, since the snowbirds will soon be flocking ashore, snapping up seats at all of Miami's most coveted restaurants. Let's break down three new Miami restaurants that are destined to become hotspots this winter.

Carbone Vino 2911 Grand Ave, Suite 194 Opening today, Major Food Group unveils Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove. The newest addition to MFG's ever-growing Miami portfolio follows a similar format as their other spots, including signature dishes like Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka and Veal Parmesan, plus new items created by chef Mario Carbone, like a Shrimp Toast with bruschetta featuring ruby red shrimp, Calabrian chili and sesame. As the name hints, Vino also offers a dynamic beverage program featuring an extensive rotating selection of fine and rare by-the-glass offerings. With a design modeled off the original in New York’s Greenwich Village with art curated by gallerist Vito Schnabel, the restaurant's vibe is moody and romantic with a main dinin

Palm Beach just got a culinary upgrade with the opening of Malka, a kosher concept from famed Israeli chef Eyal Shani. When the beloved Tel Avivian restaurant opened its first NYC outpost last year, "Both the kosher and non-kosher masses flocked to the destination to indulge in the restaurant's legendary Malka schnitzel stuffed with mashed potatoes," Time Out New York's Anna Rahmanan wrote. Photograph: Courtesy Malka West Palm BeachThe most famous schnitzel Now, South Floridians (some might call us residents of the sixth borough) can try out the schnitzel for themselves, along with a mix of Malka classics and several new dishes original to the West Palm Beach location. Though this isn't the chef's first venture in South Florida (Shani is also behind the flashy HaSalon in South Beach), Malka West Palm Beach marks the concept's first U.S. outpost outside of NYC and the third outside of Tel Aviv. What sets apart Malka West Palm Beach is the history of the space it occupies—formerly (and ironically) a butcher shop and factory. Located at 209 6th Street in an up-and-coming swath of West Palm Beach waterfront, the restaurant already housed an open-fire wood-burning kitchen as its central focal point when Shani moved in. It's served as the inspiration behind much of Malka's menu.

Locals' hearts collectively broke when it was announced in July that Shuckers would close after more than 30 years in business. The North Bay Village go-to for casual waterfront dining was nestled at the base of a boutique Best Western hotel that had been charmingly spared from decades of Miami redevelopment waves, until now.  In perhaps one of the fastest renovations and rebrandings ever—even for Miami—Palm Tree Club is set to officially open to the public on December 21 at the former Shuckers and Best Western site. The lifestyle hospitality concept comes courtesy of DJ Kygo and Myles Shear’s Palm Tree Crew, in collaboration with Think Hospitality and New York and Miami-based Continuum Continuum. Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree CrewPalm Tree Club “We’re thrilled to launch Palm Tree Club and introduce our hospitality offering to Miami,” Shear said in a statement. “This is a new chapter for our brand, and it’s all about blending the energy of live events with the laid-back spirit of this historic waterfront retreat.” Photograph: Courtesy Palm Tree Crew Interestingly, the 1970s-era property doesn’t look all that different than it did a couple of months ago when Shuckers closed its proverbial doors for the last time. This 115-room hotel and restaurant has been given a rapid refresh with tropical-inspired decor throughout, Art Deco-inspired room interiors, a 24-hour fitness center and an updated pool deck with complimentary chaise loungers, green striped umbrellas and automate

Christmas is around the corner and it's time to plan what you'll do (and wear) over the big holiday in Miami. Have you peeped the weather forecast lately? We've been watching the updates to help you make the most of this Christmas. Though we've had a week of warmer temps, higher humidity and scattered showers, things should clear up and cool down over the weekend, with predicted lows in the 50s. By mid-week, it looks like we’re in for a beautiful and mild Christmas Day, with Accuweather describing the outlook on December 25, 2024 as “sunshine and a few clouds.” What will Miami's Christmas Day weather be like?  The topline forecast for the big day is dominated by one word: lovely. According to Accuweather, temperatures in Miami on Christmas Day are expected to sit at around 70°F, with a high temperature of 75°F and a low of 68°F. At this point, the forecast for December 25 is looking relatively consistent across the city, with similar predictions for Miami Beach. Expect about 25% cloud cover throughout the day. Is it going to rain on Christmas Day? Presently, rain in Miami on Christmas Day is looking somewhat unlikely, with Accuweather predicting 0.00 inches of precipitation throughout the day. Other outlets, like The Weather Channel, show a 16% chance of rain in the day and a 24% in the evening. You might encounter a sprinkle or two, but the chances of a Miami thunderstorm on Christmas Day seem pretty low right now. What will the weather in Miami be like on Christmas Eve? Chr

We know our way around a piece of meat here at Time Out. So much so that we’ve just dropped our brand new list of the very best steaks in the world. Our writers and editors from across the globe have added to our top 10 of the mightiest meats, with a Miami steakhouse securing the No. 2 spot in the ranking.  Among the barrage of buzzy Miami restaurant openings over the last few years, Klaw in Edgewater stands out as a spot that not only passes the vibe check but also actually has the high-caliber menu to match. Klaw is a luxurious steakhouse perched at the top of a beautifully restored historic building with truly stunning views of Biscayne Bay, especially at sunset. And the prices reflect that. But on the extensive steak and seafood menu you can also find more approachable options, including one we've singled out as our favorite steak in Miami. Klaw has partnered with local ranchers to serve Florida Cracker Cattle, one of the oldest and rarest breeds in the U.S. (It’s claimed that one of their partners can trace the DNA of their cattle back to the original herd brought to Florida in 1521). Priced at $85, we went for the 16 oz. Florida Cracker striploin, cooked medium-rare. It was juicy and tender, and though it came with a side of two delicious sauces, we found its wood-fired flavor shines best on its own. Plus, Florida Cracker meat is high in Omega-3 fatty acids since the cattle graze on grass instead of corn. The list was topped by El Toro in Agadir, Morocco at number one

Waymo has just announced that it will expand its autonomous driving technology to Miami, joining Phoenix, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Austin, where the robotaxis have already taken over the streets (kidding!). Beginning in early 2025, Waymo’s all-electric Jaguar I-PACEs will be redeployed around Miami, building on previous road trips throughout Florida that were carried out during the rainy season to enhance driving capabilities. They aim to begin accepting rides in 2026, offering a driverless ride-hailing service via the Waymo One app.  Waymo (owned by Google's parent company Alphabet) has partnered with Moove, a global leader in innovative mobility solutions, to manage its fleet operations, facilities and charging infrastructure. "Ride-hailing has transformed urban mobility over the past 15 years, yet the core experience has largely remained unchanged,” says Ladi Delano, co-founder and co-CEO at Moove. "Together, we’re driving a major shift." So, how do Waymo's robotaxis work? Last year, we got to go for a ride in a Waymo car during the launch of the Waymo One Tour program in Santa Monica and Venice—and we’ve been (mostly) impressed ever since. “Riding in a self-driving car for the first time is anxiety-inducing, exciting and oddly normal—basically in that order," wrote our Los Angeles and Western USA editor Michael Juliano at the time. “Even if you routinely drive a car outfitted with advanced assistance features, it can’t prepare you for the radically different sensati

It's a dining guide that's as exclusive as it sounds: La Liste bills itself as "the most selective global guide of restaurants, pastry shops and hotels, for gourmets and international travelers," and it's just released its annual ranking of the best eateries in the world. The 2025 list is based on a "compilation of thousands of publications, hundreds of guidebooks and millions of online reviews." And four Miami spots have made the cut. We can't say we're surprised! Before we dive into the rankings, here's a bit on La Liste's methodology: According to the website, the staff aggregates reviews from over 1,000 guidebooks and publications, enters them into a database and then assigns each entry a score from 0 to 100 based on standard grades. But it goes even deeper: Chefs around the globe are asked to weigh in on the various guidebooks so that the outlets themselves can be given a "trustworthiness index" score that impacts the standard grade given to the restaurants. Finally, customer reviews are given consideration before each entry receives its official "La Liste score." This year, the top Miami restaurant with an 86.50 La Liste score is Naoe, a five-seat omakase counter on Brickell Key helmed by Kevin Cory, a chef with Japanese roots who studied under masters from Kyoto and Toyama before pioneering the now ubiquitous omakase restaurant experience in Miami. Interestingly, Naoe has yet to receive recognition from the Michelin Miami guide, though it's on our own list of Miami's b

Nightlife in Miami is notoriously over-the-top. Here, it's not unusual to segue straight from dinner to dancing on the tables. Fire dancers and aerialists come standard with bottle service and booming sound systems. And while most places are closing up shop by 2am elsewhere around the country, Miami's nightclubs are just getting started, with many staying up until 5am and a select few keeping the party going well into the daylight hours. In fact, a recent study confirmed that Miami parties later than any other city in the U.S. So it comes as no surprise that two illustrious Miami nightclubs have been named in Nightlife International's top 100 list for 2024. E11even Miami and Club Space just ranked in the No. 6 and No. 18 spots, respectively—joining iconic venues like Hi Ibiza (No. 1), Pacha Ibiza (No. 11), London’s Fabric (No. 26) and Berlin’s notoriously exclusive Berghain (No. 51). The list is produced annually by Nightlife International, the first non-profit organization in the world formed specifically to represent the main stakeholders in the nightlife economy. E11even and Space are longtime neighbors in Downtown, serving as anchors in a Miami neighborhood that's been steadily increasing its nightlife, dining and cultural offerings. Though they're both known for their debaucherous after-hours parties, the two clubs are actually quite different. Ranked 12 spots above Space, E11even bills itself as "the world's only 24/7 ultra-club," boasting headlining events nearly every
