Best-of list · City Guide
The best bars in Wynwood Miami — from craft cocktail spots in converted warehouses to hidden gems off NW 2nd Avenue. Our editors' complete Wynwood bar.
The short answer
9 ranked rooms follow. How we picked is at the end of this guide.
The best bars in Wynwood Miami are the ones that arrived before the murals became a brand. Wynwood's transformation from warehouse district to cultural destination happened faster than almost any neighbourhood in the country, and the bar scene carries both the benefits and the costs of that speed. We have separated the ones worth going back to from the ones that exist primarily as backdrops for social media content.
Wynwood runs roughly between NW 20th and NW 29th Street, and the density of bars along NW 2nd Avenue is remarkable for a neighbourhood this size. The best spots are either destination cocktail bars that drew serious attention citywide, or smaller neighbourhood operations that survived the wave of development without losing what made them worth visiting.
How we picked
Wynwood has more bars per block than almost anywhere in Miami, and the quality range is correspondingly wide. The strong picks — Sweet Liberty, Gramps, Alter Bar — are as good as anything in the city. The rest exist on a spectrum from competent to purely functional. If you are visiting for the first time, start with Gramps for the neighbourhood feeling and Sweet Liberty for the cocktails. Our Miami hidden gems guide covers the spots across the whole city that require more effort to find but reward it consistently.
