If you're looking for a place where the password gets you in, the cocktails keep you there, and the…read morecigars convince you to stay longer than planned, The Red Phone Booth is it. The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

Place definitely has grown vibes…read more You can go through the black door or do the coolest thing and go thru the actual red Phone booth (choose this option and have your phone ready) The place is flowing with cocktail ambiance. The bartenders here are artist. The menu appears like a vintage book with history about each drink. But listen honey when I tell you these cocktails are Amaze! Just try anything or ask.to be surprised. Remy was our server and he is freaking awesome and has skills. He helped us choose our cocktails cause everything was sounding like a vibe. The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!

The engaged and friendly employees are what cemented me coming again. Starting with the gentleman manning the line out front he was so friendly. Some lady made a snide comment about something I had on and he made a very nice comment which started the moment off amazing. Then the front door man two tea room was super friendly. There was a little bit of a wait, but he wasn't rude about it . Once and we ordered a drink at the bar from the Bartender as soon as the Bartender notice us there he grabbed a drink order made our drinks quickly. It really was a seamless inviting experience and the music was amazing. Can't wait to get a chance to come back !

The fact that all the music is played on vinyl gave the whole night such a cool throwback feel and made the experience feel really unique. The music selection was on point all night long, and the aesthetic of the space was everything intimate, stylish, and perfect for vibing with friends. If you love good music, great energy, and a spot that feels a little tucked away from the usual Wynwood scene, this place is a must. Definitely will be back!

I came here around 6:30pm on a Wednesday. It was nearly empty except for a few folks at the bar…read more The bartender was a little distracted and disappeared into the back room for stretches of time, but he was friendly and efficient when preparing the drinks. I was grateful the bar area had an outlet close by so I was able to charge my phone while drinking. The bar had chairs with full backs which were much comfier than typical bar stools. They had happy hour specials until 8pm including $8 cocktails. As expected from the name, the Que Fresco was light, citrusy, and refreshing. The Stepchild was an unexpected gem. It was succulent and juicy. I am not usually a fan of honey in drinks but in this one it was subtle and tasty. They had a food menu as well including a vegan ham empanada that I would love to go back to try.

I came to Miami in search of an alchemy shop, hoping to discover some rare ingredient capable of…read morecuring my dreadful allergies. Instead, I stumbled upon Koana Tiki Bar--a hidden little chamber of tropical enchantment tucked away from the ordinary world. As Miami's only tiki bar, Koana is surprisingly well themed. It is a smaller establishment, which explains why reservations are required, but the intimate setting only adds to the charm. Once inside, the outside world seems to disappear beneath warm lighting, exotic décor, and the unmistakable feeling that something mysterious is being prepared behind the bar. The food is available, but Koana truly shines through its drink menu. The team has clearly done its research and assembled some serious heavy hitters. My companions and I visit whenever we're in Miami, and we've sampled nearly every drink on the menu. I have yet to encounter a bad one. They are fairly priced for Miami, though their strength should not be underestimated. These are not casual refreshments--they are potent little potions disguised as tropical cocktails. The staff is always kind, attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. They're happy to explain the drinks and guide you toward something that suits your taste, whether you seek something sweet, sour, smoky, fruity, or powerful enough to summon your ancestors. During my visit, I combined several ingredients from the menu into a highly experimental concoction. After one sip, my allergies vanished completely. After the second, I could smell colors. By the third, I was convinced the palm trees were speaking to me in ancient tongues. I have no idea what was in that drink, but my sinuses were clear, my spirit was elevated, and I briefly achieved enlightenment beneath a decorative tiki mask. Reservations are essential, the drinks are strong, and the bar is small--but Koana is absolutely worth seeking out. Just be certain you're prepared for whatever spirits may answer when you raise your glass.

Can't recall ever reviewing staff and patrons, but ya kinda have to in the case of Kaona. That's…read morebecause the guests here are almost as engaged in the operation as the staff. Guess the insight here is Kaona draws folks who so totally want to be there and participate in the nightly celebrations that it becomes contagious, spreading from table to table with smiles, laughter, and cameras. Oh yeah, and did I mention the cocktails? I feel the term 'artisan' is so overused nowadays that I avoid using it, so can we just go with the Bill & Ted description that Kaona's tiki drinks are "Most Excellent!" Will non Gen-Xers get that last reference???

It's located in the heart of Brickell close to Brickell City Centre and next to Talkin' Tacos. I've passed it many times and never been before. Our comedy show was at 9pm so we got there early and you enter a bar area with a small dance floor and DJ booth. The door guy told us to wait next to the doors by DJ booth. They opened the doors a little after 9pm and let us in. There's this whole other room in the back with tons of seating, a stage and bar area. Some of the decor felt a bit outdated, but it was still a cool vibe nonetheless. The space is so big and has so much potential for improvement, We snagged seating in the middle area. There were several cozy couples seating in front of the stage but 2nd row, we didn't want to get picked on the entire night. Lol. The two main hosts of the comedy show looked like they worked at Blackbird Ordinary as they had staff jackets on. They were in our opinion, the FUNNIEST!!! Everyone also got free shots with their tickets. Nice bonus! Lemondrop shots!!! Whew, it's been a hot minute since I did shots. Ha. After they started the show, they introduced several local or out of towner comedians and honestly, it was a good diverse crew of comedians. I wish we got a list of the comedians as I would like to check out their social media pages or follow them. Overall, we had such a good time and laughed so hard our faces hurt. This comedy show was like a hidden gem. Glad we found them and would love to come back and check out other comedians.

All the food we ordered was great my favorite was the meatball pizza with ricotta and the chicken wings were great too! Pizza was very crispy and the sauce was amazing. Chicken wings were soooo good with the sweet and spicy sauce they toss them in. For drinks they had a limited time menu and I had one called "The Miami Monk" and it was this creamy coconut cocktail with rum and it was only $10 and for the price it was so worth it. Service was great our server was very friendly and he was really attentive and was asking us our feedback on the food and drinks, and it's things like that, that make the experience all that much better! Ambiance was nice it was a tiny little hole in the wall playing some good music, but it was empty when we went, which personally for me I really enjoy opposed to it being super packed lol, I would recommend this place all day every day!
