Great cocktails, from classics to their specialty menu, anything you order is great. If you like beer, chose a different place. While do have some beer, the selections is small. It is a cocktail bar, and a good one. Very difficult to find places like this in Miami that only cater to mixology, are not inside a restaurant and opens late. Great place for pre-party, after dinner drinks, after party drink. They open at 5 and close at 3 am. Cozy place too with friendly bar tenders. read more

Loved the vibes of this bar! Inside is small and cozy. We sat in the booth seats by the windows with lots of pillows. The music was was really good too! Definitely was pulling in people from the street. Came for the happy hour and stayed for the quality drinks! The happy hour is until 8pm, even on a Friday! There are a small selection of cocktails for $10 each. The drinks were strong and delicious. I recommend the Russian spring punch. read more

The moment I walked into The Scape Goat I thought - oh this is my kinda place. Speakeasy vibe, strong cocktail menu, great tunes. But this place has one big problem ... The cocktails are terrible. I ordered an Old Fashioned and a French 75. Two cocktails I've had dozens of times. And they were just wrong. Get some new bartenders and turn this place around. read more

Came here around noon to pregame before Nikki beach. Ordered drinks with the guys and the bartender hooked us up with groomsman shots. I highly recommend this place. read more

The Scape Goat - Tiny but mighty cute bar! Amazing drinks and amazing playlist! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is a cozy bar in the South Beach area that we happened into on a Friday night. First impressions were mixed. The bar was excessively loud. My friend and I found it difficult to hear each other talk, and it took a while for the bartenders to finally get around to us. Eventually we were able to order our first round of drinks, which were pretty good. Nothing amazing, but satisfying enough to go for round two. However, this time around I got their signature "Hickory Smoked" cocktail. This is essentially an old fashioned that has the glass smoked beforehand, which costs $2.50 extra. Not worth it. It gave us a pretty good laugh though when we saw it on our receipt. If a tight, loud atmosphere is your type of thing, you may actually enjoy it here. As for me, I'll probably look elsewhere next time I'm in the area. read more

The Scape Goat - A "Hickory Smoked" cocktail on our recipt. It's an Old Fashioned with $2.50 of smoking! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Very small bar at the south end with great vibes. 3 tables (4 seats each), bar seating (9 seats), 2 corner couches by the door (5 seats each). Great drinks, great music, great vibes. I had the banana boat (pictured) and my girlfriend had the Little Window (also very good, like an expresso martini). Our bartender was Clinton and he was fantastic; Super prompt and friendly! The Banana Boat was easily the best banana-flavored cocktail I've ever had. I will 100% be back here next time I'm in Miami, it was such a good time and the bartenders were great too. They light the cinnamon on fire as they dust it on top of the Banana Boat so it was nice to know they go the extra mile for everyone. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a cool late-night spot for drinks in Miami Beach. I should mention the Banana boat was a special the night I went, but if it's ever available it's a must-have if you like banana. read more

Excellent spot to stop by and have a drink either before or after your night out. Always cool people here always good conversations. I hate that they took away the outdoor seating but I know that's not up to the business but the city. This spot will always be on my local bar hop list. read more

Loved this bar - Asked for a dealers choice / gin and alcohol forward and thought he read my diary. It was perfection and I wanted seconds. We stopped by for a nightcap but I was hooked and will definitely be back. There was a spacious outdoor seating setup - it was the perfect place to end a night read more

We loved this place. It gave me the San Francisco home feel with the dark moody ness it offers up. As much as we loved the atmosphere we loved the drinks even more. It's been a minute since I had a good whisky sour and this one hit that spot. I also got one of their espresso shots and it did not let me down. The service here is great as well. All around a great place to stop at and have a drink. read more

The drinks and service are amazing. Highly recommend!! The happy hour is great too, but their specialty cocktails are where it's at!

The atmosphere is relaxed dope. Mac Miller or Talib is playing, its dark, laid back, and the drinks are on point. Like a lounge that you don't want to tell people about, because then the lines get outrageous and it's not what it was. read more

The Scape Goat - Drink and the bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Probably my favorite place we visited while in Miami. In a quieter part of town, this is a great starting point for the night. They have amazing drinks and David, the bartender made our trip with his friendly, upbeat personality and a list of incredible recommendations. This bar uses the coffee from the Window next door to make a couple of their drinks and so we found an incredible spot for a cafecito as well! We will be back :) read more

Best hidden gem South of 5th! For those of you who love a good dark hotel bar in a vintage art deco hotel, this is it minus the hotel. It's cozy, dark, great music, friendly bar tenders, and an assortment of characters coming in and out. The drinks are on point, and mostly Florida/American spirits. Try a smoked cocktail OR ask the bartender to make you something special. They always have a weekly spiked lemonade as well. Also, it's open late - till 4AM. read more

I lived in Miami for 4 1/2 years and have never stumbled upon an industry gem that compares to Scape Goat! Vickie our bartender was beyond words amazing and my "Smoked Old Fashioned" was to die for! I love the intimate atmosphere and personalized service - I can see why the Miami New Times voted them "Best South Beach Bar" for 2018; I will be back without a doubt! If you're looking for a relaxed vibe and rustic, yet classy atmosphere (far away from, but still close enough to the hustle and bustle of South Beach) then Scape Goat is for you. They're open every day from 5pm - 5am, so you can essentially stop in anytime that is convenient. I can't wait to try their affiliate bar "Taurus" in Coconut Grove. Parking: We went to Scape Goat pretty late at night, so street parking was readily available. Crowd: A lot of locals and industry professionals read more

The Scape Goat - Smoked Old Fashioned - $14; the flames were well worth the price! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

If you've been to any of the Ark Hospitality concepts before, then you may likely agree with this statement: The Scape Goat is the bastard love child between Taurus and Ariete. While I did not get any food during my visit, I did partake in my fair share of cocktail drinking. I tried a few things on their menu: The Bee's Knees and the Smashed were both strong and tasty. I usually like to try 1 or 2 cocktails from a bar's regular menu before switching to my go-to Old Fashioned. While the first two cocktails were delicious, their old fashioned won my heart. Whatever bourbon they used (I forgot to ask) was delicious. Shoutout to the lovely, Gardenia, and the two other bartenders working who kept the drinks flowing and provided some great conversation the whole night. If I lived in Miami, this is the bar I'd hang out at on the regular. From the drinks, to the atmosphere, to the staff, I loved every bit of my visit at The Scape Goat. read more

Awesome environment and service with amazing cocktails. #IYKYK you will not be disappointed!

Went in with some visitors from out of town. We just wanted a few shots of a specific tequila. The bartender came over to the table and RIPPED us off. He said he didn't have the tequila and gave us a different one. 4 shots cost us over $120. I didn't make a scene because was with a group. Never going back in there. Ghetto read more

Amazing little gem where the locals go. Drinks are made perfectly. We aren't locals because we come down yearly (this time) for a month, but I've always felt welcomed in here. Bartenders are GREAT! It's worth the find if you're visiting and of course it's in the fabulous SOFI area of South Beach. read more

DONT GO DURING COVID19. This place says that it's open on multiple websites and when we got there it was closed up and locked. There is not even a sign anywhere letting you know they are closed and even the door says open 5pm to 5am. There website also states they are open. Just disappointed in this and wish they would have notified their customers somehow someway that they aren't open. Additionally the address brought us to a bar about a block away so not sure why the address isn't up to date either. read more

Very cute bar! Felt very New York. Drinks were awesome and the staff was friendly. Definitely would recommend.

Go ask Alex for a dealer's choice. He made us the most amazing cocktails. We're from Chicago and came for one cocktail- now we're closing the place and we want to come back. This place is incredible because of the talented and creative bartenders. Bougie b's from Chicago in terms of cocktails... the real deal is here. read more

Haven't been been to the Goat in a long time Since the Girl Bartenders S&G. The Vibe has gone down hill There is no more fun factor. Also please be careful the new bartender thought he would try to charge us for 2 extra drinks when he didn't even pour them. Bobby please take note it wasn't a cool way to end the night. read more

Small, cozy, dimly lit bar with very good cocktails. Nice bartenders made good recommendations. Great stop before dinner at Stubborn Seed.

If you hope to just get a drink and be treated like a normal human, DO NOT GO TO THIS PLACE! We walked in and were treated like assholes... the brown bartender thinks he's gods gift! Not sure if they think the place should be full of 'locals' or what but news flash, it's south beach... didn't even stay long enough to be overcharged! Zero stars read more

Cool little bar with dark woods, smoky mirrors & a definite art deco vibe. Decent selection (not a lot of aged rums) & nice bartenders although the crowd the night i was there seemed pretty young & raucous. would go back for the interior alone! read more

Great local hangout. Small little bar that serves some pretty awesome tasting craft cocktails. We're staying just around the corner and needed an after dinner drinks so this was it.

Went to The Scape Goat for happy hour on a Saturday evening. Tried three cocktails, their Old Fashioned, Lightning Lemonade, and a Smoky Mezcal mixture they created for us. Quality Decided to visit The Scape Goat for a round of drinks before heading to dinner nearby. I was excited to see it was happy hour, so we started with cocktails from that menu. I went with the classic Old Fashioned. Nothing crazy, but just a solid pour with the perfect amount of extras to add some fun to the whiskey. My girlfriend selected the Lightning Lemonade, which mixed vodka with lemon juice, lavender, and assorted other goodies. They then tossed in some rosemary and lit in on fire. For me it was too heavy on the lavender, but my girlfriend loved it. Based on the success of the first set, we decided to get a second round. This time, my girlfriend requested something with mezcal and a smoky flavor. They absolutely delivered in this Smoky Mezcal mixture, that once again utilized lavender. This one I enjoyed, as the lavender was just a background element, and the tasty mezcal was the star. This is a place you can definitely trust going off menu. Quantity I had no issues with the drink sizes or the liquor pours. Expect a stiff drink and a fun one as well. Value During happy hour they had selected beers, wines, and cocktails for discounted prices. The cocktails we ordered off the happy hour menu were $8, but even the specialty order was only $12. Solid deals regardless of where you are at in Miami, but especially so on Miami Beach. Ambiance The Scape Goat is located on Miami Beach in the SOFI area. It is a blink and you miss it spot that I only knew about because I loved the previous tenant. However, upon learning this new collaboration came from the owners of Taurus and Ariete, it became a must try. The space is very small and very dark. The walls and ceilings are black and the windows are tinted as well. Even with the sun still out it had a dimly lit and intimate aura. When you enter they have a small bar on the right, some high tops on the left, and two small couches near the windows in the front. We settled into the comfortable couch and enjoyed our drinks listening to some great indie rock songs. Throughout our stay folks from the neighborhood stuck their heads in to say hellos before heading on their way. Crowd It is a small bar, but there was a good crowd hanging out. There were three small groups and then some individuals at the bar. One group looked like they had just come from a day at the beach, and most of the other guests looked like locals who live at the beach. Despite being a cocktail bar, it does not get more casual in style than this place. Service The bartenders are excellent. After trying out some drinks on the happy hour menu, we asked if they could come up with a some sort of smokey mezcal cocktail, a style my girlfriend loves. Without even missing a beat, one of the bartenders grabbed a bottle and got to work. She managed to not only craft a drink around the request, but to thrown in some lavender, the piece of the first cocktail my girlfriend enjoyed the most. It was both creative and delicious, a testament to the great staff here. Parking Parking was a huge headache on Saturday evening. With construction on two nearby lots and competition between the beach crowd and the dinner crowd, it took us forever to finally find a spot. Probably the biggest deterrent to visiting during weekend happy hour. Extra The Scape Goat is just a solid cocktail bar. It clearly has gotten the approval of the locals, and it makes sense when you have high quality bartenders pouring up tasty drinks. Plus you never complain about daily happy hours. I look forward to a return visit soon. read more

The knowledge of bartenders it's unfortunately poor. For the future reference- If your bartenders don't know how to make particular cocktail- apologize in front of clients and offer something similar. But NEVER argue with clients!!!!! When bartender was trying to tell me this is how supposed to be and I'm drinking this cocktail 10years around the world and I know how supposed to be. I even didn't wanna finish this shitty drink. I paid and tipped to bartender and wanna escape ASAP. I'd never write bad review, if manager was not arguing with me. read more

Rich makes the best drinks in town!!!!! Not only was he a great bartender but he was very nice. I didn't know what drink to order but he surprised me with a delicious drink I think it's called the "The Doherty" as I didn't like many options. It was fabulous! Cheers! read more

This place is just awesome!!! It's away from craziness of ocean drive and has a great vibe! The place is pretty small and has limited seating so it's difficult to get a spot sometimes. The drinks are great!!! We had a server (a guy) who explained drinks to us and gave great recommendations. Drinks were coming out pretty quickly even though the place was full of customers. I'm not sure if they serve food or not, but next door is a pizza place and you get get a slice there. read more
