We had such a great time at this rooftop pool. We came for a Pride event and it was so much fun! Everyone was vibing to the music, the dj was awesome. The service was good, it sucks that there is only 1 bar that accepts card. The 1 bar that accepts card was also kinda hidden and a mission to get in and out of. The other bar is cash only which was a bit annoying. The pool was nice! It looked very clean. To get to the rooftop you have to take an elevator which was a little old school. We were instructed to hold the button until we got to our floor, it was a bit slow. Other than those little hiccups, our experience was nice and it is a great spot to hang out with friends. The event was on a Sunday and lasted from 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm. They were pretty punctual for last call and everyone was heading out on time. If you are in the area, you should totally check this spot out. read more

Came up to the awesome rooftop pool after spending a nice day at the beach. We came right on time for happy hour and ordered the mango margarita and the regular margarita with chips and guac. The bartender was so awesome and super nice but she was of course working alone and doing SO much. For $8 you can get a margarita during happy hour M-F 3-7pm which is awesome. That said, the margies were pretty average and tasted like they were made out of a margarita mix. The guac was very onion forward so it was hard to enjoy but it's nice for a poolside snack for only $8. Other than that, great poolside bar, you can sunbathe, enjoy the sunset and soak up the breeze with a drink in your hand laying down and enjoying the vibes. read more

Decent happy hour... daily 3pm-8pm. Classic margaritas are 2 for $10. They're good but not spectacular. There is plenty of space to sit down and relax with your drink read more

Highbar - a patio with tables and umbrellas - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Amazing rooftop bar and hotel!! Booked 2 rooms for the night at the Dream South Beach. The rooftop bar was awesome. Heated pool, full bar, clean and beautiful, AMAZING STAFF!! The front desk was so helpful, friendly, and accommodating! The building had a brief AC outage during the overnight of our stay, and they volunteered to refund our resort fee without us asking for it. The front desk, valet, butlers, and hotel/food and beverage crew were top notch! We will return !! read more

Like my friend hosting our little get-together herself said, "You live and you learn". In my particular case, and given my experience with their lobby restaurant, I guess I needed special education. A couple of friends hosted their "Rooftops with Friends" series at this location partly based on the fact that their website showed also nighttime events happening. When we all get there 8pm or thereabouts we were practically the only people there. While it's great to have your own bartender in concept, it's not when you have to remind about your drink or food. While my mojito was semi-decent with the mint leaves and pour, it wasn't sugar cane stick authentic. You know it has to lose points for that. Since I was hungry after a full day of work, I ordered a burrito from the Naked Taco restaurant in their lobby..and waited. I had to remind the bartender to check on my order. My food was eventually brought out in the type of container I expect from a fonda in Hialeah or a roach coaches at one of my construction sites - definitely not South Beach and 18% automatic gratuity glam. To his credit, the bartender did say the automatic gratuity was included. Lesson learned.. read more

Stopped by before we grabbed food downstairs at Naked Taco. Incredible spot with rooftop bar/pools overlooking south beach. Service was painfully slow for a couple shots, but we were given a few more because of the wait. Will definitely circle back next time I'm in the area. read more

My sister and I visited the High Bar for happy hour on Thursday afternoon. The view here is great, nice pool, and fun music. We got the happy hour margaritas which were tasty and a good deal. The bartender was by herself but Erika did a great job getting us all drinks and food. The spicy guava jalapeno and lavender tequila margaritas were delicious! The pool attendant Justin also needs to be recognized for his great customer service and proactive work ethic. There was a part in the evening when not that many people were coming in to get towels from him, so he took it on himself to pour water for all the guests sitting at the cabanas and chairs, which was so thoughtful because alcohol and sun can cause some problems! But he was looking out for everyone! read more

Highbar - two people walking on a roof of a building - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Great happy hour Great setting Great service Great pool Tasty drinks Some of the best tacos I've had in my life read more

Food is excellent. Not impressed by service. It was only 4 costumers total and the waitress/bartender didn't pay attention to a lot of things read more

The highest of bars, and funnily enough, a mistake to find myself in. While trying to venture and meet friends at Naked Taco, I headed a few steps (and an elevator) in the wrong direction. Might have been the best detour ever, as the hour hit right before the influx of EDM crazies prowling the streets. And a low-key quaint view to boot. Wish I could have stayed longer. read more

Once you get to the roof there is a guy with a list verifying if you are a hotel guest or just going to the bar, if you are not a hotel guest, you are not allow to go to the pool side of the roof. So basically you are allow to use the bar or a couple of tables by the bar but no the area around the pool. read more

Epitome of Miami. Breathtaking views. Pool top bar. Infinity pool. White errrraythang. Posh men and women lining the rooftop. Overpriced drinks. Pool hunnies. Comfy (and almost always taken) pool beds. Techno beats. Nighttime neon. Epitome of Miami. read more

Highbar - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

The bar is pretty old but it has a beautiful view looking out the beach just behind Versace's house. They have a small pool and chairs around. Happy hour has very cheap drinks. If you're looking for a spot to catch a quick sunset without the cost this is your place . read more

We recently went to a Halloween party at Highbar, which is in the Dream Hotel in South Beach and we had an amazing time. It's a rooftop bar/lounge with a pool, oh so very Miami! Contrary to its name, Highbar is not that high... it's probably on the 5th floor if I'm not mistaken but the views are still great. All those art deco buildings aren't really that high anyway and nothing really obstructs your view. The drinks are a little on the pricier side... but comparable to most South Beach bars. The free tapas were great and not just because they were free; they have great mini burger sliders. The venue is beautiful , kudos to the party organizer! read more

I pretty much lived here while staying at Dream hotel. With your stay you receive beach towels, chairs/couch access anytime. Famous and Ana assisted me each time, always greeting me with a smile and taking care of me by setting up the space to lay out, and bringing around flavored water to help stay cool. I loved the pool size, the music and squeaking clean bathroom. A perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun! They have HH everyday, 2 for 1 specials on their cocktails. They weren't anything spectacular, but decent. read more

Wow! Where can I even begin.. First and Foremost the Team at the Dream Hotel & Highbar are the most top notch, hard working and professional team I have ever met. Most importantly Mary! We hosted a Beauty & Fashion event and this team made my vision a reality. Thank you so much Famous and Marion were fantastic. All of the staff moved tons of furniture and finished set up and breakdown quickly and effectively. The DJ area is so cool, unique and really tied everything up for our desired event "look". Perfect location to host any party or event especially with this staff. Thank you again for making my event so special. I NEED to give a special recognition to Mary that stayed late to show me property from the beginning, answered all my calls and text messages with questions, managed multiple tasks at a time and just overall AMAZING! You are lucky to have someone like that on your team. Thank you again! We would love to share our pictures of our fashion show and deck layout. Thank you, M Clique Team read more

I consider myself a happy hour hunter, I accidentally found this place while looking for a pool bar. Usually, you don't find both at the same spot. BOGO specials, the naked taco is downstairs, and you can order from the bar. Thankfully, the bartenders know how to make a margarita with a smile. I'll definitely recommend High Bar to my friends, drinks are good and service is great. Usually when the tip is included, service sucks, that is not the case here. Serve me a cocktail with a smile and I'm good to go. read more

There is something about being up high that makes everything look better Highbar is a sleek rooftop bar/pool/lounge with lots of nooks and crannies to hide in and a great view of South Beach below It's decorated smartly with lots of whites and wood, relaxing, not obnoxious read more

There isn't much wrong with a rooftop poolside bar, especially when it's only a short flight of stairs from my hotel room. What docked stars for me was the price (all signature cocktails were $13, basic Tangueray and tonic was $11) vs the quality. While my signature cocktail was tasty, it didn't pack much of a punch. Womp. I expect high prices in South Beach, but there just wasn't anything alluring enough about this place to make me want to come back. They do a 2 for 1 deal for "happy hour" (it actually runs much later than that) so you'll get your money's worth then, although when the sun goes down so does the primary reason for hanging out here. read more

Really nice rooftop setting. The drinks are much better than what you'd find on ocean drive. They tend to get REALLY busy during the day, but at night not so much. Not a bad spot if you want kick back and relax. read more

Very unpleasant experience: Do not go if you're not staying at the hotel****** After I was fully unpacked and laying someone (the manager), came over to me and asked for my room number since I didn't have one he asked me to leave... when I asked if we could spend money on alcohol to stay being one of the only places with a rooftop pool and he said no.... then I said I was upset and said I'd write a bad review he then proceeded to say go ahead we'll have less people coming here that don't belong. read more

This would be paradise if they had more chairs and umbrellas available and, if they insist on charging so much for drinks, they would at least make them bigger, colder and in something nicer than a small disposable plastic cup. Otherwise, the pool is glorious in the Miami heat, the rooftop views are incredible, the drinks are delicious (try the Lust!), and I love that they put towels out for you... very nice. If you're staying at the Dream Hotel in South Beach, don't let this little escape go to waste! read more

It's getting to the point where I don't see a difference between Club A and Club B or Bar A and Bar B in South Beach. It's not that I don't mind a uniformity for all the establishments, but I just don't see much of a distinction. Here's the checklist: A) Loud music. Ironically, from a business standpoint, I actually know why the music is as loud as it is. The answer is rather simple, there is something in human physiology that causes us to consume more food and/or alcohol when the music is loud. Is that a bad thing? Well, not for businesses who overcharge for their drinks (see further down on the checklist). I'm not looking for awkward silence, but you shouldn't need to have to shout at the person next to you to talk to them. B) Infinity pool. Just like opinions, everyone seems to have one. They look cool, but for the most part, that's about it. They are just pools. Squared, circular, whatever shape you want them to be, they are still just pools. C) Mono-color. Highbar is mostly white. Other clubs are mostly black, or red, or blue, or some color. I'm not saying that the mono-color is bad. I think white is probably the best choice of all the colors, but it just feels cookie cutter after a bit. D) Illusion of exclusivity. Oooh. A private elevator that can only be accessed via a hidden doorway. Meh. E) Overpriced drinks. This is a staple of South Beach. You really can't go anywhere (on South Beach) without paying higher prices for mediocre options. I do recognize that if a bar or club wants to keep a certain clientele out, they need to keep their prices higher so that the clientele they don't want won't be able to have a good time. Fortunately, the bartenders were quick and friendly. I can't speak for every night, but my experience with them was positive. Bottom Line: Not a bad spot, just nothing new. I would just avoid it on rainy days since there is no roof! read more

My friend and I came here on a Wednesday after it had just been raining, so we were pretty much the only ones there, but that was to be expected. I loved the decor- so clean and classy. We ordered a cocktail each and enjoyed the beach view as the sun came out. Man do those drinks pack a punch. It was also happy hour so they were verrry cheap (for Miami). We only stayed for a little bit, dipping our feet in the pool, but now I really want to come back on a Friday or Saturday and experience it with a crowd. read more

Highbar - A southern tea cocktail - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

We went during the day. So you need to pay 10$ to get in- even ladies - then you have nowhere to sit- literally every single Spot - where nobody is sitting has a reserved sign. You either have to pay 300$ for bottle service or stand in the pool. Nobody told us that - I don't mind not having a fancy seat but by paying entrance fee I expected to sit my butt down somewhere. Not a nice view - way to hyped up. We came back later in the night - died down. The entrance is nice though. read more

I had the best time because of Isaiah the pool attendant he was so attentive always coming by asking if I needed anything even allowed me to use his charger so I wouldn't have to go back to my room and grab it absolutely amazing would recommend to anyone! read more

We stopped in for drinks a few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon.,....Kind of dated....boutiquey joint.....went up top to the pool and bar.....same thing- though it could be fun with the right mix of people.....Drinks were fine, though they ran out of some hard liquor and that was a slight limitation. I would give them shot again- read more

The hotels is in a great location in south beach. The pool has great views with chill vibes and bartenders. I highly recommend the ceviche at the pool read more

Definitely come here during happy hour. The drinks are BOGO and from what I could tell, weren't watered down like some happy hour specials tend to be. Otherwise, I don't think it's worth it. The pool itself is nice and it's always super to sit by the pool in the sun with a cocktail. I'd return just for that. The problem, though, was the bartending staff. They were SO awkward. Like some of the most awkward people I've ever encountered working at a bar. I walked up to them and they ignored me once and just stared the next time...what? When I ordered, I got a funny look and no one moved to make my drink or ask for payment...so uncomfortable. C'mon, man, I was just trying to do some reading poolside with a cocktail? Why does it have to be so weird? The short of it: happy hour deals are good, drinks aren't anything spectacular, bartenders are awkward. read more

It's a nice place if you are staying at the hotel but if not then it's $100 to use the pool. With that being said, the $100 fee to use the pool is no where mentioned on the website and when confronting the manager about it, saying, "I think you should put this on your website so people don't get blindsided," he was being rude and disgusting to my gf and I. It wasn't as much of a big deal whenever we were told that we needed to pay money to use the pool, however, I was dissatisfied with the lack of leadership and business skills the manager had taking in feedback to potential customers. This shows poor management skills, poor customer service, poor professionalism, and honestly, should not be the manager of that pool. read more

Came in a Monday evening. 5 stars because of happy hour prices. 2x1 = $13?for 2 sex on the beach! Can't beat that on south beach! Nice ambiance. bartender is alright. on weekends it gets more fun. come here if u want a relaxed night w cheap drinks read more

I'm writing this review because High Bar recently changed their management and their new policy is: the rooftop pool and sitting area is no longer open to the public even if they are willing to spend money on food and drinks. I hope this new management gets aquatinted with the words "lost business." High bar was a gem to many locals like myself. Always low key and free of the pretentiousness of the south beach party zombies. In fact, so low key that it's practically empty on Friday night during happy hour. Saturday's are not that different. So it makes you wonder what the hell this new management is thinking. read more

Awful! Ruined our 4th of July!!! We went up at 9am to claim a seat, had a great time until 4:30 then they kicked us out telling us our space was "reserved" for someone paying for bottle service! Had they said that at 9 when the entire pool area was open we would have chosen another space! When they kicked us out it wAs too late, everything was taken! Up there at 9am to not even have a place for fireworks! And the food is awful! read more

I'd come back for the view. We came at the end but it was a nice rooftop with a pool and DJ. Sexy and very South Beach.

The sleek 70's inspired rooftop lounge Highbar, flanked by the historic Versace Mansion, features a custom infinity pool with incredible views of the Atlantic. By day the rooftop space is the perfect place to lay in a chaise lounge chair, soak up the sun, and cool down in the pool. At sunset, the lounge transforms into a unique refuge for nightlife revelers featuring bottle service and private cabanas, perfect for a night of drinking under the stars. read more

Highbar - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Rooftop bar with pool. You can also order some eats from "naked taco" downstairs. Service is extremely attentive and the tacos are delicious. It's probably the best taco in Miami. I guess there's not so much of a view because it's not on a high rise building but it's still fine because it's really close to the beach. read more

You know, it's a great spot. Fun layout of pools and lounges. Great views. The scene was kind of dead the night I went, but I'm an early bird so that's my fault. read more

Roof top bar with pool. Okay for visitors, you don't have to stay at the hotel to utilize this place. Decent drinks and lovely view of the ocean. Wish we had stayed at the hotel, nicer then our spot across the street. read more

Cute rooftop bar but pretty empty, small and drink are over priced for the size cup they give you.

Drinks $12/ each in plastic cup. Waitress completely ignored us. Ordered one drink and couldn't get her for another. Finally saw her, and she ran over with the check said its time for her to go home so we needed to cash out. Automatic gratuity/tip included (good thing because she wouldn't have got one otherwise). Only thing going for this place is that it's awfully nice up top here. read more
