    Visited Higher Ground for a weekday lunch - both the food and the service were severely lacking! Ambiance: the outdoor rooftop deck is gorgeous! Variety of seating options with tons of natural plants/art intermixed. The ambiance is primarily the reason I didn't give a 1 star rating. Service: the bartender was nice, but the service was incredibly slow. We sat outside for a bit, but ended up walking inside to place our order. We waited over 30 minutes for our food and once it arrived, it was ice cold and hard. Food: Cheese Pizza and Avocado Salad - the cheese pizza looked and tasted like it came from a school cafeteria. It had the same texture as a frozen pizza. The salad had a nice and vinegary dressing, but it came with no greens. Definitely skip both items! TL;DR - the exterior is trendy, but the food and service need major improvements to match the ambiance. Pizza tastes like frozen grocery store pizza and service is incredibly slow!

    I've come to Higher Ground twice now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The first time was for an event and the second was for a chill night out. The bar is on the 3rd floor of the Arlo hotel in Wynwood and it's a lovely spot. You have an indoor and outdoor bar and a great view of downtown Miami from it. You have an array of drinks and beers and ample seating inside and outside. Staff is friendly and helpful. I've sat outside to enjoy the fresh air and view but inside the decor is just as great as outside. Definitely a nice and new spot in Wynwood!

    We enjoyed our time at the Elite event. The vibes were perfect, the people were amazing, the drinks were fantastic. I will definitely go back. It was my third time at this location

    I visited Higher Ground for a private event so have less experience with the day-to-day service/vibe but I thought the space was very impressive! You have a great outdoor space with some awesome views of the city. The stairway entrance into the rooftop area has a lot of character and helps create a cool ambiance. The cocktails and food we had at our event were high-quality and service was friendly. Definitely would check it out again when in Wynwood.

    Higher ground is an amazing place to go with a spouse or girlfriend on a nice date night beautiful view from the third floor of the hotel. The drinks were good. They have amazing pizza and great service a little pricey, but still a cool and nice hangout spot

    What used to be a common gallery art space in Midtown has now tranformed into a bar/lounge…read more Don't fuss with any shinny new duds when coming over to visit, as this place is all about the ultra-casual. They'll be having live acts at some point, but when I was there they had a dj playing rare old grooves of the funk variety. Not quite the hipster set yet. This place currently belongs to the part time-art school student, mindless chain-smoking, less assertive, humbler, younger sibling of the hipster. But in Miami, scenes change almost as quickly as the tides. So best to come check it out quick in it's intended enviornment.

    As far as grungy bars go, this place was the ultimate shit show that I was looking for when…read morevisiting Miami. I always love a place that still pulls in a massive late night crowd while always, always maintaining a level of filth that keeps the people that I don't want going there to never return again. I went here every single night that I was in Miami. Some of those nights I remember and some of them I don't. It served as a common grounds for people who really don't care about much more than getting drunk and kind of dancing. Some might call it pricy, but those people just don't know how to plan ahead. Sure, it would be kind of annoying that they ran out of the cheaper beer options every night, but that's a pretty clever business strategy, especially during Basel. My brand of babes stomped around this place like nobody's business and that's all I need to think a bar is great. For those who gave this place 1 star, I'm glad to know that I won't run into you next time I'm in Miami.

    I went here for the first time last night. I went to an event with food, drinks and a concert…read more Parking is $40 and it is right behind the venue. The venue where the food and drinks were was big and inviting. They had nice bars set up. I am not sure of this is how this place is set up normally. I won't comment on the service, food and drinks because I don't know if that is directly from the venue. I do know that their security was not as thorough as they should have been. One positive thing is they have a LOT of women's bathrooms. It sounds funny, but you ladies know that when there is a concert, there can be long waits to go. As far as the concert area, this reminded me of a big nightclub. There are no seats for the general public. VIP area had some seats that looked uncomfortable. Besides that, there were not many seats at all and far too many people in that area. This venue is behind Wynwood Marketplace and honestly, it is a pain to get to if you are walking here from the Marketplace. I would come back but only for an event that seems worth it.

    Honestly as much construction, road closures & damaged sidewalks leading up to the convention…read morecenter this establishment is in pretty great condition. Every time I visited for art basel , the bathrooms are clean and the selections of vendors are always top notch. The staff that maintains the grounds are always attentive and willing to provide guidance when you are trying to get around the large crowds that gather for events. I was really worried about accessibility for my daughter , who is ambulatory and a wheelchair , but she managed and navigated very well throughout the exhibitions.
