10 Elevated Happy Hour Spots in Miami (That We’re Obsessed With)
Let’s be real — in Miami, happy hour isn’t just a time of day, it’s a lifestyle.
Whether you’re coming straight from a pitch meeting, a Pilates class, or just need a reason to dress cute and sip something strong before dinner, these happy hour spots check every box. From rooftops with a view to coastal-chic lounges and oyster bars that feel just elevated enough — here are 10 of our favorite Brickell Babes-approved spots to unwind, connect, and maybe flirt a little (no judgment).
1. The River Oyster Bar – Brickell
A tried-and-true neighborhood gem. It’s giving lowkey luxury with that perfect “not trying too hard” energy. $1.50 oysters, discounted wine + cocktails, and some of the freshest seafood in the city. Happy hour runs weekdays from 4:30–7 PM.
📍 @riveroysterbar
2. Klaw – Edgewater
If you haven’t done rooftop happy hour here, are you even in your Miami era? Panoramic bay views, surf-and-turf bites, and gorgeous cocktails that taste even better when the sun’s setting. Typically 5–7 PM.
📍 @klawrestaurant
3. Casadonna – Edgewater
Italian-Mexican fusion with waterfront glam? Yes, please. The Aperitivo Hour hits every time — specialty cocktails, light bites, and that moody coastal-chic ambiance we love.

4. Level 6 Rooftop – Coconut Grove
Above Amal, this sleek rooftop has the sunset view. Mediterranean vibes, vibey crowd, and tapas + cocktails flowing from 5–7 PM. Ideal for a cute catch-up with your bestie or post-work debrief.
📍 @level6mia
5. Lido at The Standard – Belle Isle
A little bohemian, a little barefoot luxury. Golden Hour (4–6 PM) is perfect for spritzes, wine, and people-watching by the bay. Feels like a mini vacation in the middle of your week.

Tropical rooftop paradise tucked above the EAST Hotel. Weekday happy hour from 5–8 PM brings skyline views, Asian-inspired bites, and cocktails that make you feel ✨expensive✨.

10. MILA – Lincoln Road
Sexy. Sophisticated. Always packed with the It-crowd. Sunset Hour runs 6–8 PM with Mediterranean-Asian light bites, dreamy cocktails, and that “just got back from Ibiza” energy.
