MiniBar Miami

A small South of Fifth cocktail bar on Meridian Avenue, a few blocks from South Pointe Park, with a daily 4 to 8 pm happy hour.

Geprüft Oktober 2026

For a cheap first round after the beach or a late drink south of Fifth. Happy hour is a genuine deal; after 8 the house cocktails run $17 to $20, so the $ price tag only holds early.

The 4 to 8 window

Happy hour runs every day from 4 to 8 pm, and it's the reason most people find this place. Beers drop to $6, wine to $8, and a short list of $10 cocktails covers the basics: espresso martini, cosmopolitan, margarita, paloma. That's a real discount in South of Fifth, where a drink near the park rarely comes cheap. Google lists it at $, which is fair at 5 pm and less so at 11, when the regular menu applies. Come straight from the beach or a South Pointe walk and you can settle in before the evening crowd.

The full menu

Off the happy hour list, house cocktails run $17 to $20 and are named for Miami Beach lore: Last Chair at The Delano, Surfcomber Sazerac, The Lapidus Vesper, Espanola Way with Hennessy and watermelon. There's also one called The Dave Grutman Experience, which is vodka, espresso liqueur and espresso, so an espresso martini with a sense of humor. Whiskey drinkers get Midnight at The Forge, a rye and amaro sour. The splurge is Make It A Mini, $32 for a 50 ml pour of Don Julio 1942 served with the bottle. Mocktails are $14, and there's Peroni 0.0 if you're not drinking.

Late nights and the room

It's open daily from 4 pm to 2 am, which makes it a reliable last stop in a part of the beach that goes quiet early. The bar calls itself intimate, so expect a small room rather than a club, even though Google tags it as a nightclub. Weekly events include Whiskey Wednesday and a Ladies Night, plus seasonal tastings. A guest review the bar shares mentions cornhole, Connect 4 and a "bar within a bar" for couples. The whole place can be booked for birthdays or buyouts, so check before a big group shows up. It holds 4.7 from about 540 Google reviews.

Anfahrt

1. It's at 418 Meridian Ave, steps from South Pointe Park, so it pairs easily with a sunset walk on the pier.

Reservierung

Reservations are available through the bar, worth it for a group since the room is small and gets booked for private events.

Gut zu wissen

Happy hour pricing ends at 8 pm sharp; order your last $10 cocktail before then.
