MIAMI
THE BROKEN SHAKER
Can we please just move here? JUNE 6, 2016 / WRITTEN BY BON APPÉTIT
T
he bar that anchors the Freehand hostel continues to dominate the Miami cocktail scene. Handcrafted drinks inspired by herbs and ingredients grown in the garden will provide refreshing options you’ll crave in the heat. Decorated by Roman & Williams, this stylish
outdoor oasis (plus a tiny Hemingway-esque indoor bar) is one part Miami, one part Brooklyn, conjuring all the nostalgia of the city in its Deco prime. Whether you’re seeking a pre-dinner tiki drink or a post-meal ruckus, this hipster haven will always be perfectly crowded and buzzing with the 20s/30s set. Drinks here are reasonably priced, making it the laid-back alternative to the miniskirts-and-heels scene usually associated with SoBe. Maybe it’s the feel-good tunes, the flattering lighting, or the bartenders who make you feel like you’re at Cheers, but don’t be surprised if you lose track of time (or your drink quota) here. PRO TIP: If you’re a discerning drinker, make sure to ask for your cocktail “less sweet.” THE DETAILS: Cocktails start at 6 p.m. Wine, beer, and a daily punch are offered starting at 12 p.m.
