Big Cypress Distillery Cocktail Bar is the perfect hidden gem a small, cozy spot with great lighting and decor that makes it feel like your go-to neighborhood bar. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with vinyl records playing in the background. You can even bring your own records and play them, adding a personal touch to the experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. This was my second visit, and I loved it just as much as the first time. The drinks are absolutely delicious. We enjoyed them so much that we even bought a bottle to take home! Since it's a distillery, they sell their own bottles, which is a great way to bring a piece of the experience with you. If you're looking for a relaxed, unique spot with great drinks and a great vibe, I highly recommend checking out Big Cypress Distillery Cocktail Bar. You won't be disappointed! read more

This spot is so dope This hidden gem was just the thing Kendall needs. It's hidden, dark, and sexy. Definite grown spot with serious drinks. Place isn't large but it's the perfect size for the crowd tou want to be around. Sit at the bar and discuss life with the bartender or grab a chair and enjoy life. Ask to try a thing your curious about or ask the bartender to surprise you, trust me it'll be fantastic. I had a honey Bourbon on the rocks and realized one was enough, lol. It was so tasty and smooth. It was Friday night vinyl hip hop night and I was feeling it. This is definitely a chill spot for strong drinks and grown folks. Can't wait to go back and just chill and enjoy the vibe read more

I don't know how I first heard about Big Cypress Distillery, but it sounded like something worth exploring. I finally came to visit tonight on a short staycation from Hollywood, about an hour plus away. Stayed at the nearby Best Western Hotel with my daughter who is visiting from out of state and we walked here. Sitting and sipping a Blueberry Lemon Drop drink with Big Cypress vodka. The lounge/bar is a cozy 500 +/-sq.ft. They usually have a music theme. Tonight is Radiohead. So cool and relaxing. I can feel the week's tension slipping away. read more

A hidden gem in Kendall. I am so glad my friend took me here and we had such a lovely night chatting away with Fernando, one of the owners. He had his bartender work on making us some other off-menu drinks and it made for an even more delightful evening. The other owner ordered pizza for all the patrons to celebrate her son's 25th (he works there too), which was so nice. The vibes were great and you can tell they truly care about everyone leaving with a positive experience. When we were about to leave, Fernando was kind enough to gift us with a bottle of their gin since he knew my friend was moving away and I lived in D.C. It was so sweet. If you like gin and rum, please stop by here! Not only will you have great drinks- you'll also have great conversations and great tunes playing. read more

My husband and I wanted a date night that was a little different than we'd normally do. I discovered Big Cypress on Yelp and decided: who better to give a recommendation than my fellow Yelpers and, as usual, they did not disappoint! Driving up to Big Cypress is unusual as you pull up to a giant warehouse. My first thought was: "are we even at the right spot?" Upon entering, however, you walk into the most inviting, homiest, speakeasy-type bar. We were instantly greeted by the owner and welcomed in with open arms. My husband and I sat at the bar and started ordering different drinks. I had a blueberry lemon drop that was sweet and tart and overall delicious. I also had an espresso martini that unlike the other espresso martinis I've had was not so aggressive because of its notes of chocolate. I ended up drinking that for the rest of the night. My husband ordered the whiskey-based drinks that he equally enjoyed. Throughout the night, conversations with the bartender, owner, and other guests were flowing. The music was immaculate, vibes were 10/10, and overall our experience was incredible. We even took home a bottle of their rum. read more

Everything about the drinks, vibe and excellent service is worth mentioning in a long awaited Yelp review! Fernando is a master at his drink making craft and a great host and this small speakeasy vibe bar. It is small- they play great vinyl music. All the drinks are worth it- if you can grab a bar seat, even better! Love it here. read more

Super relaxed vibe, amazing service with their bartenders and Fernando (The owner). Awesome cocktail specials, with very reasonable pricing. Love this place!!! read more

We have not been back since they created the Speakeasy, and we have been wanting to check it out. We made our reservations for 8 on a Saturday. It was a little tricky trying to find the place at night, and Waze was not helping, so I called, and Fernando guided us on the phone. Loved this place. Benjamin, behind the bar, was very attentive, informative, and made some delicious drinks. The vibe was chill, and the music was fabulous. I left with a bottle of Lemon City Gin, which I fell in love with, and I can't wait to try it in a Vesper Martini! read more

Amazing! Great vibe Ana big spirits. Benjamin is the best. He is knowledgeable and loves what he does. The place is cozy and has such great chill vibe. You get to sample and the drinks are amazing. The bees knees is the best I've had anywhere. You can but the gin and it's highly recommended. The drunks are great and the place is even better. Love everything about it. read more

This has got to be the coziest, coolest speakeasy and liquor tasting experience I've had. We came here Friday night with some friends and the owner Fernando really made our night. The man is a passionate master of his craft and has been distilling for many years, he's also an amazing bartender. He has got this all down to a science and our experience was him serving us many of his liquors to try. All of his spirits are made in house. We tried as part of our tasting three gins, a rum, and a gin liqueur. They were a mix of floral, herbal, complex smooth and all really fun to try. The cocktails were top-notch. I can't decide which is my favorite, the bees knees is a prohibition era Jin cocktail which he makes with fresh local honey and it is delicious. I also had the barrel aged bourbon old fashioned which was so good, It didn't have the sweetness which I don't like in many cocktails on the street, it had a great amount of bitterness and even herbal notes to it. Parking is easy, the place is located right next to tamiami airport in Kendall. Love this place and we'll come back and bring more friends. read more

Love this new distillery. Big Cypress Distillery has a small speak easy feel. Very cozy. The owner Fernando is amazing. He makes the best drinks and provided there is a small group, he will explain everything and how well balanced drinks are made. The Bee's knees is a must try. I don't even like Gin and I absolutely fell in love with this drink. I also had the barrel aged bourbon old fashion and it was delicious. It is a pre mixed old fashion made by the owner himself. The drink is aged in the barrels and is ready for the customers enjoyment. Again it's so good. We also did a spirits tasting. Get there early because if the place is packed, you may not be able to purchase the tasting. Thanks to the wonderful atmosphere crafted by the owner (and his drinks) its clear that this is someone who is passionate about the science of distilling. We had a great night with our friends. It's a must try place. Highly recommend. read more

Very small bar connected to a distillery in an industrial warehouse area. Though it's only open two nights a week, it is worth a drive and a visit. They focus on producing rum, gin, and bourbon, but they also produce other liqueurs. The bartender knows his stuff and will educate you as he is making your drink. My only complaint is that they use plastic cups instead of real glassware, but that is a small complaint considering the setting and the high quality of the rum, the gin, and the mixed drinks he prepares. Great spot and great to hear that they may be opening a place closer to US1. read more

Hands down, this was an awesome experience. We loved the tasting, and just hanging out with the owner and talking shop. I loved their play on the Negroni and they're killing it with all the gins. I also really liked their Rye whiskey. If you're hesitant because they're far, I get you, but anything good is worth the effort. The drive wasn't all that bad, and then you reward yourself with some awesome drinks. Although they don't sell food themselves, there are several food trucks like 2 minutes away which are equally as awesome. I definitely feel like you should try them out. You won't find any other distillery in the area that you have direct access to the owner. read more

What an amazing place The vibe, music, and hospitality is a place you won't regret going to. We will be back soon. read more

Great ambiance. Nice retro vibe. Did I mention the cocktails? They make their own mixers as well as the primary alcohol. Top notch. Will definitely drink here again. read more

Absolutely love this place. One of the best and down to earth cocktail bars in Miami and with some of the best spirits. It's always a pleasure to run into Fernando, who is always so welcoming and conversational. The vibe of the spot is cozy, comfy, and warm. Love the styling - the new hifi vinyl additions are also fantastic. We love coming back over the years and bringing new people, meeting new friends, and trying the new spirits. The cocktails are fantastic and we always leave with bottles. We will miss this place so much when we leave Miami! read more

I discovered this fantastic place through a post on Facebook on a Saturday afternoon and headed out with a friend that same evening. How could I lose? It was BYOV ("Bring Your Own Vinyl") Motown/Soul night. I certainly did not have on my Bingo card to be singing "Killing Me Softly" and "Darlin' Nikki" with a group of strangers while drinking an exceptional gin/honey/lime drink in a small place that evening. It did not even feel like we were in Miami. Everything about this place is absolutely marvelous - it has great bartenders and (again!) drinks, an intimate and friendly setting, cute decor, a fabulous vibe, and the music was great. There is absolutely nothing I would change about it. BRAVO! read more

A hidden gem that is definitely worth the drive. I have yet to have a bad drink at Big Cypress thanks to Fernando who is a G&T master and will not lead you astray. It is a cozy spot, so recommendations are a good idea. Great date night spot. read more

My family and I visited from California, and we found this place from the amazing reviews. Ryan, our bartender and distillery expertise, was the most knowledgeable and friendly person that's ever hosted us. This place (while small) is exactly what we were looking for. I couldn't recommend this place enough. A helpful tip - while we didn't make a reservation, make sure you do so you have time to enjoy this place. I can't wait to see where the business goes! And again, Ryan was that bitch!!!!!! read more

Small, unassuming spot with great gin and friendly owner/bartender. Spent an enjoyable Saturday evening here - went around 8:30pm and was able to grab two open seats at the bar (the place is very small). We were able to try 4 of their house made gins before creating our own gin & tonics. Great place for a date or small friends gathering. Love that Miami has a local spot for gin! They also make rum but we didn't try it. read more

Big Cypress is amazing. We came here on a rainy night and almost missed the entrance. It is small inside but the atmosphere is fantastic! So cozy and comfortable. Benjamin at the bar was excellent. He was so knowledgeable and answered our questions. We ended up having the Bees Knees cocktail and it was delicious! I loved that it had local honey in it. We ended up buying a bottle of the Sloe Gin to take home, but we regret not getting a bottle of regular gin. We plan on making another trip soon :) read more

The service in this Distillery was incredible. Our friends and use walked in and although they do not offer tasting on Friday nights, they gladly made an exception .. we did a very extensive tasting and got to try some pretty delicious spirits Walking into this place feels like you not in Miami and that's a good thing! Magic city gin and the Oaked barrel gin! Get them, buy them ... you won't regret it! read more

Why did it take us so long to try this place. Can't wait to go back. I need another bottle of their rum.

Great "secret" bar in the middle of nowhere but with great charm and low key. Amazing Gin selection and creative cocktails that pack an actual lunch. Oh and easy parking. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Found many home grown rims, gins and liqueurs. Was a little skeptical when I raked but once inside this place is very personable and quaint. 8 seats at the bar and 3 tables that make it your neighborhood spot during or after work. It sits in the middle of a warehouse atmosphere and the look is very deceiving on the approach. Only missing is food but alcohol galore with a heavy hand when pouring. Definitely worth the drive here. This is a hidden treasure of distillery's I. Miami. I would definitely come back so long as someone else is driving. The selection of gin, rum, and liqueur id worth the drive to this remote are near the Tamiami airport. There's a Lemon City Gin the is very smooth and very tasteful. This was definitely worth the drive for me coming out of the city to the Tamiami airport area. read more

Small establishment, but big heart. The business is run by a family (2 brothers I believe). They are very informative and patient to answer all your questions. You can tell they love what they do and it's not about the business ($$$) aspect of it. I support all local businesses. They give you a tour of how they make the gin and where they make the gin. I liked it...it's some potent gin! I went for a tasting that I bought on Groupon and left there feeling good. My brother and his friend with a cute little souvenir cup. If you haven't checked this place out do so especially if you're a gin connoisseur. I loved it that's just cause I enjoy liquor lol! read more

If you want to learn from locals on how is the process of making Gin or Rum, first you will want to decide on where to go. You are going to want to come to Big Cypress and then make a plan for a visit on Friday or Saturday to come and do a tasting. Trust me great experience here, buying a bottle, support locals just like I did! Many skills and lots of time are put on specific spirits. Just to represent something you have wanted to be able to do for a long time. They made Miami's first Gin. You are going to meet nice people and taste batches of spirits with different times of fermentation. So be ready to enjoy! read more
