Not only will you see salsa dancers shaking their hips as the dance around the bar, but you may see a local band take the stage too. This place is one of the few outdoor bars in the area also. The best drink to try is a mojito, which bartenders make from fresh lime juice and mint leaves right in front of you.

3. Mac’s Club Deuce

While it may not look like much from the outside, Mac’s Club Deuce is the ultimate dive bar. It’s also the perfect place to hit early in the morning because Happy Hour begins at eight am. You can grab a cold mug of beer or opt for a specialty cocktail before you even think about sightseeing. This bar gained some fans after legendary chef Anthony Bourdain called it one of his favorites.

4. The Broken Shaker

Some of the top watering holes in Miami Beach are those located inside hotels. The Broken Shaker is a little unique because it’s one of the only bars located inside a hostel.
