The Roof at Esme Hotel
A rooftop bar on top of the Esme Hotel on Washington Avenue in South Beach, open daily from late morning until 10 pm.
Revisado octubre de 2026
Good for a daytime or early-evening drink above South Beach at mid-range prices. It closes at 10 pm every night, so it's a warm-up spot, not where the night ends.
Hours that run early
The schedule is the first thing to know: 11 am to 10 pm, seven days a week, same hours every day. That makes this a rooftop for a lunch-hour drink, a late afternoon round or a stop before dinner, not a 1 am destination. Google files it under bar, lounge and nightclub, so expect it to get more social as the day goes on. The smart move is to get up there before sunset and have a plan for after 10. Hotel rooftops sometimes shift hours, so a quick check before a big weekend doesn't hurt.
Up on Washington Avenue
The address, 1438 Washington Ave, puts you between 14th and 15th streets, a couple of blocks back from Ocean Drive and the beach. That's the practical appeal: you can walk here from most of South Beach, have a drink above the street, then walk to dinner without calling a car. The bar sits on top of the Esme Hotel, so you head through the hotel to get up. It operates as a public bar, but if you're unsure about access, ask at the front and they'll point you to the elevator.
What it costs, and the score
Google lists it at $$, which by South Beach rooftop standards is fair; plenty of decks in this neighborhood charge more for the same idea. The rating is 4.6 from about 250 Google reviews, a strong score on a modest sample, so people tend to leave happy even if it isn't famous. There's no menu we could check, so we can't point you to a signature drink. Treat it as a reliable place for a round with a view of the neighborhood rather than a cocktail pilgrimage.
