The Sylvester
A cocktail bar on N Miami Ave from the Beaker and Gray owners, with clarified drinks, a guava hot dog and Abuela's furniture.
Geprüft Oktober 2026
For people who want an inventive cocktail and a late night without the club markup. The trade-off: full-price drinks run $17 to $19, so the early specials are where the value is.
What to drink
The main list runs $17 to $19 a cocktail, and a lot of it is clarified and carbonated. Only in Dade pairs Brugal 1888 with guava and mascarpone foam. Hungry Eyes goes dessert-adjacent with Patron Reposado, plantain, banana and cold brew. Albino Gator is the savory pick: Ilegal Joven, watermelon, cilantro and jalapeño. The zero-proof section gets real effort too, with $15 drinks like Dama Verde, which uses honeydew and matcha. Beer is $7 to $9, Jai Alai included, and there's a house michelada for $12.
The early-hours deal
Happy hour runs Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 9 pm, and a short list of $14 specials holds until 10 pm. That list includes a Vice Beach Margarita with Tajin, a Dirty Vesper, a Smoky Diablo made with espadin and hibiscus ginger beer, and the Irish Maid with Jameson and cucumber. Food is minimal and cheap: a $7 hot dog with guava-sriracha, mustard and potato sticks, plus $3 Voodoo chips that taste like BBQ meets salt and vinegar. Eat before you settle in.
Late nights and big groups
It's open until 2 am Tuesday through Thursday and until 3 am on Friday and Saturday. It's closed Sunday and Monday. The owners pitch it as the place you'd want to be stuck in a hurricane: drinks, dancing, music and Abuela's furniture. It sits at 4.6 from about 670 Google reviews, which is a solid score for a late bar. Regular tables can be booked ahead. Birthdays and bachelorette groups of 15 or more go through the party team by email, and events for 20 or more have their own inbox.

Gut zu wissen
