Happened to be staying across the street and it was late so we wandered in. Ordered the fish nachos, a Cuban sandwich, lentil soup and pork sandwich. All were excellent! Manager chatted with us a bit and he was super friendly as was our server. I would definitely recommend if you're in the area and want a good but casual meal. They also have live music some nights. read more

This place is perfect! Walking distance from our hotel and the live music was a great addition. Appreciate the hospitality from our server to the conversations shared with the manager and bartender that night. If you happen to be in the neighborhood YOU HAVE to stop and check out the Rum Room! Delicious drinks, appetizers and food. Crispy calamari , Yukon fries and steak was 12/10! Highly recommend saving room for dessert and you cannot pass on the rum shots. read more

Came here on a Saturday night and it was my favorite spot since coming to south beach. John and Christian vibes were super high and gave us 10/10 service. Best happy hour in south beach and whoever they have performing is absolutely incredible. An amazing hidden gem in a neighborhood of overpriced mediocrity. read more

We love the Rum Room! Come after The Bass or the botanical gardens. Great happy hour and very nice staff. read more

Conveniently located on the grounds of the Miami Convention Center. Good food and great service. The manager John was super kind. He gave me a container of fresh cut fruit when I mentioned to him that I was staying in a nearby hotel and I preferred to find fresh fruit rather to having dessert. read more

Rum Room - Mojito - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Well, I waited WAYYYY too long to visit this place I had driven by numerous times. We wanted a place to sit outside, have good drinks, good food and nice music - Rum Room literally checked off all the boxes. 100%. John greeted us on arrival. Such an incredibly nice Manager. Then we ordered some custom drinks/apps with Sebastian and Christian. These guys CRUSH it with smiles and service! Made it such a nice vibe. Then the live music started at 6pm, this woman sang a mix of Latin and American songs with her guitar. Again - what a vibe. We will definitely be back, those Yuca Fries and Old Cuban drinks are calling us! read more

Rum Room - Rum Room Miami Beach - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

What a little gem! I had no idea that this old building had been restored and turned into a restaurant until we walked past it the other day. The interior is beautiful - dark, clubby and luxurious! They did a great job with the renovation. We started with beers ($3.50 during HH) and mojitos ($7 during HH). We also sampled the smoked fish nachos, the yuca fries and the corn and seafood empanada. On top of fantastic HH pricing, the food and the drinks were excellent! The service was great as well. This is a real find and I will definitely put this on the regular rotation! read more

Cute little restaurant we found to go to on our way to a concert at the Fillmore. Part  of Miami Spice and had a great prix fixe menu to choose from for $45 that included app, entree, dessert. The service was excellent. They had a great craft cocktail menu and tasty original drinks... Our food all tasted great and everything was seasoned perfectly... The only complaint I had, which is a pretty big deal to me if I'm eating a steak, was the temperature of my steak...I'm surprised it wasn't for the chef, tbh... I requested my steak to be medium rare and received it well done.. I did advise the waitress and received an apology and just ate it. Again, it was beautifully seasoned and we were needing to get to our concert. read more

I want to share yet another delicious and wonderful time was had by all at the Rum room - my brother JC and I returned and this time we took a dear friend Gladys - from the moment we entered we were greeted as family - of course Chef Jean and Daniella were there. What a wonderful concept not only is the food and entertainment amazing but for my brother and I agree there is no money that can pay for making each and everyone of their clients all feel like family - a true gem in the beach!! Don't forget to try the snapper escabeché and the cream cheese guava bread pudding! Delicious!! Ambience, laid-back, and comfortable. I feel as if I were in my Florida room at home. read more

Our servers (Sebastian and Christian) were super friendly and attentive! Loved the atmosphere, music, and food. This is a great spot especially if you're tired of the touristy spots on south beach! read more

Food and service were both good. It was conveniently located by the convention center.

A very bad experience overall with food and service that resulted in receiving a 50% discount on our bill, but it was still about $200 and they automatically included a 20% tip, which was not optional. seven of us came with a reservation, and were agreed by Talia, who seemed to be in a huge hurry and already annoyed at something else that was going on in the restaurant. Our appetizers never came and we waited about an hour for our food. sandwich was dry, the truffle fries had no truffle on them, and the service was frantic and not very helpful. After we had finished our meal, I asked them to cancel our appetizer order, at which point they promptly brought out regular french fries instead of truffle fries again. Then I asked to speak to the manager, and they said that our waitress was the manager, clearly not true They offered us a free round of drinks but we left. All seven of us agreed that the other 8 reviews must have been written by friends of the staff. read more

Wow! So impressed with this place! Definitely a great addition to the Miami Beach area. It's away from the craziness of the beach, has a parking garage right in front ($10 with validation), and best of all has incredible food, drinks, and wonderful service. The bartender Anton was amazing he made us off menu drinks to our liking and they were all incredible! Let him make you a fun drink, you'll love his creations. The service was fantastic, the waiter, the manager, the food runners, the chef were all so kind and helpful. Now let's talk about the main event the food. We truly loved everything we tried. Here's what we got: - Maduro Bread - such a unique flavor combination, loved the butter - Wild Fish Crudo - fresh and a great sauce - Caribbean Caesar Salad - don't sleep on this one this is a GOOD Caesar - Pan con bistec - this is not your typical pan con bistec it's a gourmet version with high quality beef. Delicious. - Corn - this was like a corn off the cob that was amazing. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Such a hidden gem! My favorite cocktail during my weekend in Miami Beach was from Rum Room, but I can't remember what it was called as the mixologist told us it was new to the menu. It was made with Mezcal and had a smoked Tajin rim. The fish dip nachos were delicious and great to share as was the Caribbean Caesar salad. Our table of 5 shared a bunch of different plates and loved it all. Plus the entire staff was friendly. read more

Portrayed as an upscale Cuban food vibe place but it's not more than a few tables with very limited options for food. The drinks were ok but this place is more to come get a drink, converse, and get out. With all the choices around this place for me would be more of a straight bar than anything else. It's quaint. You can stop by if no other choices but 3 stars here is just right. read more

This was the best restaurant we have visited this trip to Miami. It was a historic site ,and it was a really cool place . Had a great history. The staff was friendly ,and our server was the best. When I spilled water on my sister she was so kind and the whole staff came over to assist. . Her service was perfect, she kept the water and food coming. The food was fantastic. We tried the prawns and the steak , both were wonderful. We highly recommend this place if you are in Miami. The ambience was warm and inviting. Oh and get the empanadas, they are to die for and the sauces the bomb! read more

Eliu Escobar and team, thank you so much for the phenomenal dining experience you provided to me and my team this past weekend. Everything from the atmosphere and the food to the expediate service only helped to elevate an already amazing meal. You were so welcoming and warm to all of us and not only was this so appreciated, but we were also honored to be the first private party to be seated in your new private dining room. The aesthetic beauty was only eclipsed by how artistic the dishes themselves looked! I can't even fathom how this very same structure used to be the 2nd oldest municipal building in Miami Beach. The renovations were so elegantly done that I honestly felt like I was eating at a good friend's palatial estate on a Sunday evening... the short rib was cooked and seasoned to perfection! The chef,, is an artist. The service from your servers was out of this world. You've truly created a first-class establishment. Bravo! read more

A few days ago, I went to eat at the restaurant, and the service was terrible. The waitress serving me barely came to the table, and I needed salt and ketchup. When I went to the restroom, I saw my waitress in a room eating. Honestly, it's very disrespectful. I will never go back horrible place and horrible service. read more

Had a wonderful dinner experience at Rum Room on a rainy Saturday night. We were immediately greeted upon entering the restaurant by the bar staff and the General Manager Mitch. They made sure that we were comfortably seated and told us a little bit about the restaurant before we were then attended by our server. In case you are not aware, the Chef behind the Rum Room is Chef Samantha Cruz, who recently won the Food Network cooking competition show, "Beachside Brawl". Fresh off her win, where she represented the 305 to the fullest, Chef Cruz has put together a delicious menu that highlights all of her influences growing up in Miami. From the fish dip nachos to the fish done in a paella style with couscous, Chef Cruz hits it out of the park with her carefully crafted dishes. Our server told us that her menu was years in the making, and you can really tell that she put a lot of thought into the menu. Some other standout items were the croquetas, the pan con bistec and the chimichurri steak. And, of course, not to be left out, the menu also consists of mouth watering desserts, including the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and the espresso tres leches, that are just as tasty as they look. All the dishes are designed to be perfectly paired with the rum based cocktails that are curated by a team of mixologists that nailed all of the drinks that they prepared for us, including a Caipirinha, a Rum Room Negroni, and The Old Cuban, which is a refreshing rum drink that is made with Prosecco. And to make the evening extra special, Chef Cruz took time out her busy evening to meet me and my wife and take photos with us. She was very welcoming and made us feel like we had known her for years. Chef Cruz, Mitch, and The Rum Room staff, thank you for making our Saturday night special. We will definitely be back and highly recommend to everyone stop by your restaurant to have a meal and some cocktails. read more

The Rum Room has such an incredible vibe. There's such a unique decor and design to the atmosphere. I loved their chimichurri skirt steak and the shrimp and papaya salad but it was the pineapple upside down cake that made my day. I've never had a pineapple upside down cake as fantastic as this one. I make it a habit to jot down places with great dessert and I'll definitely be back here for more, often. read more

Rum Room is a hidden gem in SoBe. Don't let the MB Convention Center location scare you away. The vintage building is beautiful, the service exceptional, drinks are delicious and food is A+. I loved every part of the experience and they had the best selection of rums vs every other local bar. Honestly the cocktails and ham croquettes are better than Cafe La Trova in Calle Ocho and to me that's the best Cuban food in Miami. It's nice to not have to leave Miami Beach for good Latin food. Highly recommend. read more

We had our first experience at RUM ROOM last evening and WOW!!! Housed in a historical Miami Beach site, the space is warm, intimate, and yet possesses a funky vibe. Live guitar music augmented the ambience. The staff was welcoming, attentive, and shared their love of the menu. Mitch Doren, the GM, greeted us enthusiastically. A Latin/Caribbean inspired menu is carefully crafted and creatively inspired. Samantha Cruz, the executive chef, took time from the kitchen to chat. Her extraordinary culinary background shines at Rum Room. We started with GARBONGO - a chickpea stew with chorizo and sautéed kale, topped with a golden warm bread with herbs and sea salt. The flavors are a perfect blend and the dish is comforting. We followed that with CONCH FRITTERS prepared perfectly with Keys conch and corn batter, and served a crispy golden brown alongside creole mayo. We finished with PAN CON BISTEC - a pressed sandwich of chimichurri steak, provolone, malanga strips, and candied onions. This sandwich is exotic in composition and exquisitely savory to the palate. We have a pineapple upside-down rum cake waiting in the fridge for a later time. RUM ROOM deserves your visit. We certainly will return soon. CHEERS! read more

If you live in South Beach, you're always thinking to yourself "wouldn't it be great if I could just find a cool neighborhood restaurant where I can go and have a nice dinner and not be charged $78 for a cocktail." THIS IS IT!! Rum Room has excellent food. Excellent service. Excellent ambiance. It won't break the bank. Many yelpers beat me to the punch in calling this place a "hidden gem" but that's exactly what it is. if you're a South Beachian - make the Rum Room your neighborhood joint. read more
