Oh Mae! We had such a good time. The espresso martinis were on point really hit the spot. One was not enough had to have two. The bar staff is charming and attentive. They really know how to make a girl feel welcome. From the moment we walked in we were accommodated at the bar and served promptly. I love how a cocktail bar has a carafe of water ready for you with two short glasses it was perfection and in my opinion, a great attention to detail. Now the bartender this guy is on point. I've never seen a cocktail be shook with such intention. Everything he (Tom) was making looked perfect and I definitely hope to come back and try some more perhaps a whiskey sour? The place is tiny, but so charming the lighting is perfect. The barstools are so chic. It's just super inviting and it's the perfect little neighborhood bar. Something that Coconut Grove has been missing for a long time. The hype is worth it. The music is amazing. A definite must visit. This crew got it right!!! Xoxo read more

Mae's Room - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I was so ready for a great bar! A local, nice bar to go to and chat ; Mae's was "supposed" to be that spot! It's tucked back in all the little shops in the Main Highway Plaza with Chugs. I walked in and it was everything I wanted it to be! Small, intimate, low lighting, bar stools, fastidious bartender who heard you and honored exactly what you said! A few intimate booths that were already full; my girlfriend was sitting at the bar holding me a seat. She could tell by my smiling my face I loved it from the minute I walked in. Didn't say I was welcomed when I walked in the door! The bartender looked up and said (with volume and gusto) "Welcome to Mae's!" Now, I Am grinning! I told the bartender I wanted a Hendrick's martini, straight up, very, very, very cold; no vermouth, olives and a lime! When I tell you it was cold, it was my 3 very colds! Perfect! Now I am very, very happy! Mae's lived up to its word: it's all about the Art of the Classic Cocktail! There is no food at Mae's but they have a great arrangement with Chugs! We checked in with the bartender and he suggested we order the OG burger. Chug's offers a limited Menu at Mae's; I'm sure there might not have been 10 Items on their list. You order, you get a text, you go next door To the window and pick up your "snack." Know that you are not going to have a giant burger with the works; our OG had a patty, shredded lettuce, pickles with their sauce on a great bun $9.95; and we ordered fries which we shared. Honestly, it was damn good! The downside: I will probably not Darken Mae's door anytime soon on a Friday night. The Music was so damn loud we could not hold a conversation! A lady on the other side of the bar was covering her ears! They got up and left! Her seatmate (husband/date) saw me holding my ears, came over and said this is a great bar, try coming on a weeknight, it's much calmer. Well, I may try it again, definitely on a week night! Mae's definitely has that "old school" charm but definitely not my taste in music! I wanted a little jazz, softer sounds where we could Actually hold a conversation over fabulous Cocktails. This was not the night. We left after one drink; with a 20% tip on 2 drinks, my bill was a tad over $34; which I claim reasonable. I will let you know when I go back! read more

Looking for a night cap with great service and great drink options? Check out Mae's room. I'm still not drinking alcohol and this place delivered an excellent mocktail at an affordable price ($12). My friends had cocktails and wine and there were no complaints. It's dark inside but from what I could see, it looked nice, Miranda seems to be the hostess and the incredible mixologist. Raiya was also great and ensured our area was clean and our glasses were replenished. I was pleasantly surprised by this spot and can't wait to visit again. Check them out and enjoy! read more

What a hidden gem in the heart of Coconut grove ! It's hidden and it's small, I loved it. Love the ambiance lighting, no heavy lighting. The music was not too loud. The bartenders were the best and we all had great conversation! Definitely going to become a staple for me and for Miami. Can't wait to go back, drinks were yummy read more

Hole in the wall tucked in the corner of plaza. You'll really have to look for it but it's super cute. It does get packed inside but there are tables outside to wait and you can have drinks brought to you. The door attendant was really nice and the staff were very organized. I had the pleasure of trying an espresso martini and the martini glass is super cute & tiny plus the drink itself was actually really delicious. Did not have the pleasure of going inside as we were done with our drinks by the time our name was called. Next time! read more

I love this new little spot in the heart of the grove. It's very lowkey, you wouldn't even know it was there unless you explored the area more. We dropped in for a cocktail to celebrate a friend's birthday. The service was great! We got lucky and were able to go in right away. The cocktails are only $16 each, which isn't terrible compared to a lot of other places. I ordered an espresso martini and it was pretty good. The foam was nice and I loved that the glass was chilled. My friends enjoyed their cocktails as well. This is a nice spot to start off the night and have a drink or two before continuing the party. I love the vibes, they are very upscale but chill. read more

Made plans to meet up with a friend in the grove and we hit up this spot first. Great start to the night and definitely a vibe! My friend pulled up first as she lives closer to the grove, and was at the door for not even 5 minutes and 2 people walked out and she bagged a table. Clutch. The table was very lush, where we sat could have easily fit 3 girls on the booth and two guys in the chairs. Nice lit up library situation behind us to contrast the dim lit vibe, which I think is a must for this kind of place. Grown folks know. This is a great place to do Happy Hour or start a night of bar hopping in the area. The cocktails were very well crafted and they're all the same price, which I like because it makes it easy for people to just go for what they're in the mood for based on flavor profile. I started with the Tropical Dundee which came frosty af (glass and drink) and absolutely added to the cocktail. My friend started with their Penicillin and was also great, got myself one after and my friend followed up with a Hidalgo. Several other great sounding cocktails which we'll have to go back and try. Both of the team members working were very friendly and overall it felt lively but not LOUD, which I think is key for this kind of place, particularly because of the size. They do a good job with crowd control here by keeping walk space clear and only allowing enough people for what can be seated and maybe 6 people in the standing area, who are up to get a table/spot at the bar next. Would definitely say this is for the 30+ crowd, in my opinion. They don't have a kitchen but Chuggie's is next door and you can place the order from inside Mae's, grab it, and come back. Smart. I think they could have benefited from at least one more person so that there'd be two people behind the bar making drinks while one runs them out to tables and checks on the standing room folks. I liked it and will definitely be back. Ignore the jits who wrote a bad review because they couldn't get in. Shouldn't knock the place until you've made it in ;) If you're local definitely stop by, I'm sure it will become a favorite soon. read more

Came here on a Wednesday, so it wasn't packed but still had a decent crowd. Great cozy speakeasy vibe, just what we expected. The drinks were very good and the bartender was up for making whatever we wanted. That area doesn't have many of these bar options so think it's a great addition and a new fave for us if in the area and without the kids. read more

Mae's Room - Old fashioned - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami, Florida

I am here to say, Mae's Room is the cocktail bar that Coconut Grove needed. For years, we have loved to go out in the Grove for a day filled with frivolity and nights filled with delicious dinners or casual hangs. But if you wanted to grab a drink at a proper cocktail bar, you'd either have to post up at a nice restaurant bar, or hit the dives. While there is a time and a place for both, I am so happy that Mae's is in the mix. I went to Mae's Room on opening day which was November 18th. It's part of the Ariete Hospitality group that is now all over this corner of Main Highway and Fuller street so you know it's going to be good. If you have been around the Grove a lot, or frequent Scapegoat you will recognize Tom - the lovely English guy behind the bar who served me I kid you not the FROSTIEST martini I have had in 2025 (and trust me I have had a few this year). If you go out a lot in the area you will recognize some familiar and friendly faces behind the bar, too. It's a pretty small cocktail bar - about 15 ish bar seats and a few cocktail tables. They just opened, so they are figuring out how to have the demand for the space coexist with the vibes they are creating, but I trust that will work itself out. If you plan on going, you may have to wait if they are at capacity but the tini is worth it. It's the kind of spot that you can go to grab a drink solo, cozy up on a date, or yap with your girls over happy hour. While they don't have food, it is 2025 and people are brilliant so you can use the QR code on the menu and order Chuggie's from down the plaza and eat it at the bar. A martini and a fast food style burger and fries? Hello. Sign me up. I also enjoyed an espresso martini which was great. Cocktails are reasonably priced and they also have happy hour with $9 drinks. I shall be back, and if I have to wait good thing there are plenty of other spots you can walk to nearby to pass the time until I meet that frosty tini once again. read more

Ok so this place is definitely a cool spot! I came here with my friend and her cousin this past weekend and we had such a great time. When we got there the bouncer let us know there was a wait for walk-ins but that we could sit outside and even order drinks while we waited. Once it was our turn they called us inside and everyone was so nice to us. They led us to our seats right at the bar. The inside is such a nice vibe. Dark, intimate but blasting throwbacks that just make the vibe so fun. All the drinks we got tasted great so I don't think you could go wrong ordering anything here. My friends cousin even ordered a drink where you just kind of say what spirit you want and the bartender creates something. His drink blew us away so if you're adventurous and trusting go for this option! I heard they have a pretty good happy hour so I think next time I go I'll try to get in for that. I also heard that you could order chuggies so really what more reasons do you need to go. Burger, fries and a drink. Sign me up. read more

I love this little bar great to have date here or just to catch up with some friends it's classy and sexy at the same time! The bartender are very professional and polite they are all a powerhouse team they work well read more

Good vibe within. Great selection of liquors to choose from. Their cocktails are well crafted and their bartending staff were fantastic.

Was out in the coconut grove area with my main piece, trying to go to level 6 for a scenic view. Upon arrival, they turned us down due to a private diddy party, with a small man playing a flute in the lobby to lessen my woes. We decided to audible to a small venue called Mae's Room. When we got there, a handsome, yet stern, bouncer in a skully told us we had to wait 20 minutes to get in. Fine. But then our barback angel from above got us in no problem. Couple of tequilla espresso martinis later we were feeling like ourselves again. Place deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Will be back again. read more

Place is really cute, it's dark chill vibes inside. The Espresso Martini is amazing and so is the dirty Martini. It's perfect for a few drinks after dinner or happy hour. It's not a place you stay for a long time. read more

I'm rating this place great because it is a vibe, the drinks were great, and the people were nice to us. However I do have to make a side note. There is a person at the door. I am unsure if they do this because it gets too crazy? Which I can understand. The space is small and if you go in a large party there is no way for you to get the best service. However... to keep it professional I would have someone taking names down and checking seating. We got in because at the time the person outside was taking a break. So we walked in. There was plenty of seats. He stopped one of us and asked how many in our party (which was small) and said ok fine you may sit at the bar. The person was really nice but I saw some other yelp reviews that seemed the door person was questionable. This is just feedback if they want to keep a good crowd coming to this place. The cocktails are outstanding and as was the service. A bar I would definitely return to. It has a lot of potential... so much so I would even consider reservations to sit. read more

There are some serious leadership problems here. It's 9pm on Friday and the bouncer outside keeps seating people OUTSIDE to wait to go in, because they're at capacity, he then hands everyone menus telling them they can hang and order and sip outside. 35 mins and no one ever comes to take ANYONES order who is sitting outside! Nice!? The nastiest part is that we got here, a part of two, and were assured that we're next to go in. Another couple comes up around 10 min later, he tells them the same thing, they sit outside to wait... then they talk and then that couple is let in, inside, instead of us. Did he slide him a 100 to skip us? Idk. But it sucked HA They also only have ONE vodka, and a weird one no one would know. For a cocktail bar? Not the best read more

The vibes. The drinks. The service. Emma was the best. A girl's girl. Just what the Grove needed.

This place is such a vibe! Cozy, intimate, and cool with amazing cocktails and great energy (especially the extra dirty martinis). The service was attentive and welcoming. Everything felt thoughtful and elevated. Great for date night, girls night or just a cocktail. Easily one of my new favorite spots in Coconut Grove, can't wait to come back! read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a friend of mine and will be returning a lot. Awesome new speak easy in the grove, I've been waiting for a concept like this to open. Ambience, drinks and service are great. My only suggestion is change the music, it needs some light beats! read more

The same guy at the door told us it would a 3 to a 3.5 hour wait to come inside when there was NOBODY in line. I asked him how to put my name down and he showed a notepad with about 3 names on it. Don't waste your time. Rude and bad service read more

The servers are rude, the guy outside said it would be a 2.5hr wait yet there was nobody outside... the man showed me a paper with a couple of names and said it would be hours???? I dont understand the hype. Drinks I heard were mid and with this attitude i don't think they will make it far. read more

This was an awful experience. Terrible service, this isn't Hollywood, this is Coconut Grove where locals just want to be able to hang out. I will never go back. We arrived at 9pm and were told by the British door guy at the front that it would be a 2-3 hour wait, we came back after a wait and without explanation the guy shut the door in our faces, locked it and left many people outside confused. What's the point in being so rude? Nobody left happy, I really hope this place gets replaced asap. read more

so chic - totally worth the wait, which is usually shorter than the approximate. put your name down, walk around the neighborhood and then return for a delicious cocktail in a gorgeous atmosphere! read more
