    What a gem of a bar in downtown Miami! We were looking for a rooftop bar and found this place online. We came on a Saturday afternoon, and they were pretty empty - easy to find outdoor seating to enjoy looking out over downtown Miami and the water. It was cool outside and we didn't come prepared for swim, but they have a pool outside as well to take a dip during your visit. Definitely would want to take advantage of next time! They have a wonderful happy hour here! I believe it's daily from 4-7pm, and they do $7 specialty cocktails (which is up to 50% off), beer, and wine. Jack Knife was a great fruity drink. Delicious food options as well. Loved the decor and the relaxed vibe you get outside. Overall, a wonderful place to spend an afternoon enjoying good cocktails and food, a nice view, and potential dip in the pool.

    Decided to check out Night Swim for a stop in our girls night. The rooftop bar was fairly empty but they had all the vibes. The music playlist was amazing and made for a great night. It was a bit chilly out, so we sat at the bar. The servers are great and attentive. I ordered the Skinny Dips with a French 75. I loved loved the dips for a healthy late night snack. I did not love my French 75, it was just okay. I really enjoyed the feel of the bar and would definitely return in the warmer months to really enjoy the pool area. I would recommend checking it out if you are looking for a new spot.

    I stumbled on this cool little bar when I was exploring our hotel. A rooftop bar that has daily happy hour drinks and food. We just had drinks, and they were all nicely balanced. The bartenders were awesome, full of smiles and patience. They explained the drinks and made them with flair. We will be back again tomorrow

    You wouldn't expect too much from a hotel bar but night swim was a great place to go prior to our Kaseya center show. Luckily we were staying at the hotel as well but it's walking distance from the arena and it makes parking/getting there way easier. Lucky for us there was a happy hour from 4-7PM that we attended. It wasn't busy in the beginning at all, but as time went on, business picked up (nothing too crazy though). I loved getting to try some drinks and snacks. Both were great. I did love the espresso martini as it was crafted well and reasonably priced. Next time I go I want to swim in the pool. It only goes around 4 ft deep. And there's outdoor/indoor seating for rain or shine. The music was okay. It would be better if they had a live dj all night.

    This was my first time coming here, but absolutely not my last. A friend of mine, Meso, DJs the once monthly party called slow burn here and it was so fun that we stayed for almost 4 hours. The venue itself is inside the citizen, hotel all the way on the top floor and overlooks, beautiful Biscayne Bay and the Miami Heat Arena. They even have a partnership with the heat and if you are affiliated, you can let them know and they'll give you a wristband that entitles you to half off your food and drinks. As soon as you are into retro chic atmosphere with the bar beautifully open air in front of you and two double doors leading to a rooftop pool that overlooks the city scape and gives dazzling lights at night. The food and drinks are even a little bit low for the area, at about $14 per drink, I also tried the truffle grilled cheese, which was a little dry for me, I would recommend more butter. There is lots of seating and none of it is reserved so even my large group of almost 10 were able to hang out together. Additionally, they gave away raffle tickets to the first 50 people to enter and someone in our group one of free $50 bar tab ! It was a great and unexpected little gift. The music was so good, a mix of hip-hop and eclectic future beats, Reggaeton, and more. The place was not too packed, but just full enough to give the party a fun atmosphere. I will be back for the next slow burn!! Can't wait

    This bar is a must go to if you planning to go to a Heat game or concert at the Kaseya Center. It's right across from the stadium so it's great if you want to catch a drink before the event. I went with my friend before a heat game and they had a great happy hour menu. The rooftop not only had a great view of the stadium but also of the city. The drinks were really good & so was the service. I will definitely be coming here more often now that I found it. Fun fact: If you show them that you are attending a Heat game you'll be able to get an additional discount on your tab.

    Amazing choice of a Katherine Bernhardt wallpaper for the space. Pure Miami experience that is definitely crowded for Art week.

    You need to go here on a Sunday. No ifs, ands, or buts. It's Happy Hour all day and that's what matters the most. Your drinks will be cheaper, and the crowd will be milder, and the pool will be emptier. For $20 after automatic gratuity, it's almost a bizarro world in Miami to have paid that for two drinks and an ambience of ease and calm. It feels extremely weird for such a place to not have a larger following, but it's a wonderful stop along the night for bar-hopping. I'd suggest it being the last one or the first one as the desire to swim (with free provided towels) will overcome you and tempt you to become soaked, which is only convenient if this is your last or first bar. While all that jazz is great and all, I do appreciate the Katherine Bernhardt wallpaper/vinyl adoring the entrance to the rooftop bar. If it's not her, it's a great imitation and and if it's a bootleg, I appreciate it even more. Its playful nature and tropical imagery are a great representation of what Miami is expected to be, only to be rightfully so--this place is a jungle with predators lurking about waiting to pounce on the prey strewn about (aka restaurants and bars that will overcharge the hell out of you and make your visit feel like it was the wrong pit stop along the way). But Night Swim isn't that. It's evoking much more of what the mural and Bernhardt's work does: playfulness and joy. There was no better way to describe the rooftop bar other than a thrill and a pleasure. While I was not expecting Night Swim to be literal, I left with the longing of coming back again ready to drench myself into the night on a Sunday before, during, and after a few rounds of booze. Anyway, that's enough. Catch me here again during Basel week when South Beach is filled, but I desire something a lot better and calmer.

    The ambiance is very modern and comfortable with an amazing view of downtown and the Kaseya center. I was staying at the CitizenM for a concert and thought it would be perfect to go to the pool and grab some drinks before the concert. I was immediately greeted by the bartenders/servers and placed my drink order. They failed to tell me that 20% tip was already included in the bill, so i ended up tipping twice and i was not happy about that not being disclosed when i was handed the check. I believe in tipping for great service and was let down about that. The rest of the servers were attentive and friendly. Happy hour is from 4pm-7pm but be sure to double check if your drink is considered "happy hour" special. If you are seeing an event at the Kaseya center, you are eligible for 25% off your total bill, which i found out through the bar's website and not in person.

    My husband and I went at 430pm to check it out before our dinner reservation. It's located on the 11th floor of the CitizenM building. The decor is really cute, it has this outdoors tropical vibe. The bar is very interesting, it makes me think that it's like an outdoor structure instead of it just looking like that. It had an outdoor area with a pool, unfortunately we couldn't be there because they were hosting a private event. There was a runway on the small pool and seats on the side of the pool so I think they were going to host like a swim week fashion show. Anyways, the indoors has the tropical feel with a huge flamingo on the wall and flamingos here and there as decor. There's another outdoors area that we went to and it feels like a balcony. It's facing the American Airlines Arena and you can see the Ferris wheel to your right and you can see the ocean in front of you. We were there as a huge cruise ship was doing a very intricate turn, incredible view. It was very breezy and it was great. I really enjoyed the view. The balcony felt more chill. The bartender that took care of us was super nice and helpful. I don't drink alcohol so she offered to make me a mocktail. She made me a non-alcoholic mojito. Really cute presentation and very tropical looking. My only complaint was that it was 1/4 drink and 3/4 ice. It pricey and BEWARE they include a 20% tip on the tap without even mentioning it.

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!

Once you step inside, you're transported back to the Prohibition era with a moody atmosphere, intimate setting, and all the character you'd hope to find in a true speakeasy experience. The cocktails are unquestionably the star of the show. Thoughtfully crafted, well-balanced, and presented with attention to detail, each drink feels like part of the experience rather than just something to sip on. Add in a live DJ, great music, and an energetic crowd, and the result is a place with incredible vibes from start to finish. Whether you're looking for a unique date night, a nightcap, or a spot to impress friends from out of town, 9 Feet Under delivers. Joe, at the door, was very welcoming. Fabricio, the mixologist, was a true craftsman. We'll definitely be back.

My own birthday was celebrated there on karaoke night, and it was one of the most amazing and unforgettable nights. We also celebrated my niece's graduation on karaoke night, and it was another incredible evening filled with friends, family, laughter, and great memories. Seeing an employee post something so negative about an event that so many of us genuinely enjoy is disappointing. From the outside looking in, it seems like there's been a big shift in whoever is running these events. I recently attended both karaoke night and ladies' night, and the atmosphere was completely different from what many of us have come to love. FYI, karaoke night *brings people together*. I can't think of a single time we've gone and not had a great night. That's why this post doesn't reflect what 9 Feet Under has always represented to so many of us. If you work there and karaoke night is that terrible *for you*, maybe it's worth asking yourself why that is. Or perhaps this isn't the right environment for you. But please don't portray an event that has created so many positive memories for so many people as something negative, because that's simply not the experience the rest of us have had. Now you've lost customers!!

The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF.

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 place is usually busier whenever I come on the weekends but it's still a vibe during the week as well. The bartenders stated that during the week, they switch up whether the inside or outside is open. Although, on the weekends but the inside and outside patio are open. When this is going on, there are 2 different genres of music playing. It's funny because when you're inside and then walk outside, it's like you're walking into another dimension because of the change in music. I love it though! If you're in the Brickell area, you've got to check them out!
