6.6Friend Score / 10#17 of 20 Bars & Nightlife in Miami
Known forCruise Control cocktailcreative cocktailshappy hour specials
A retro-eclectic cocktail bar sitting between Wynwood and the Design District, with creative drinks made from carefully selected spirits and a quirky old-Florida aesthetic. Order the Cruise Control — reviewers single it out by name, especially during happy hour (5–6 PM, drinks from $8, rising a dollar each hour until 8 PM). There's a pool table up front and a live DJ, so the vibe shifts from relaxed early-evening hang to full party-lounge as the night goes on. The pool table can be hard to get to when it gets busy.
