The Dead Flamingo

A late-night pop-up cocktail bar on Calle Ocho with tiki-leaning drinks, karaoke, trivia and stand-up, open until 3 am.

Revisado octubre de 2026

For groups who want strong, odd cocktails and a built-in excuse like karaoke or trivia, late. The trade-off: it's a pop-up, so the menu and even the concept are designed to change.

What to drink

The cocktail list reads like a dare. Abuelita's Vice is overproof Haitian rum washed with queso crema, with coconut, piña and a strawberry foam. Pulp Fiction uses orange juice pressed to order with reposado tequila and Campari. Several drinks are marked limited availability, so have a backup. The classics run $12 under joke names, like Pour Decisions for a pisco sour. Martinis and the 50/50 margarita are $10, Miller High Life is $4, and draft beer drops to $4 at happy hour. The zero-proof list is a real list, also $12. Ask about the secret menu; it isn't written down.

Karaoke, trivia, comedy

Something is on most nights. The site lists weekly karaoke, trivia with cash prizes, stand-up from up-and-coming local comics, and DJs who lean on mixtape-era tracks until someone calls for Bad Bunny. The events page holds the actual calendar, so check it before you pick a night. Hours are long: 5 pm to 3 am Monday through Thursday, from 3 pm on Friday and Saturday, and from 1 pm on Sunday. That earlier weekend start gives you an afternoon option if a 3 am close isn't your plan.

Nothing lasts forever

The Dead Flamingo opened in March 2024 as a pop-up from the team behind Better Days, Drunken Dragon, Foxhole, Grails and Spanglish, and it calls itself temporary on purpose. It started as a tropical take on tiki and says it plans to become a dive bar with a nod to Little Havana, so the drinks you read about may not be the drinks you get. It sits at 1728 SW 8th St, which some listings file under Brickell; it's Calle Ocho. It holds a 4.7 from about 440 Google reviews.

Cómo llegar

1. It's on Calle Ocho in Little Havana at 1728 SW 8th St, not in Brickell despite some listings.

Reservas

Tables can be reserved through the bar's website, worth it for karaoke or trivia nights with a group.

Bueno saberlo

Some signature drinks are limited availability, and the secret menu only exists if you ask the bartender.
