There are margaritas, and then there are Oh! Mexico margaritas. This South Beach Mexican restaurant, with three locations on Española Way, Ocean Drive, and Lincoln Road, has plenty of variations on the drink theme. Whatever your margarita jones, this place has got the cure, with a range of tequilas and mezcals to choose from and tons of flavor profiles. Kiwi, jalapeño, watermelon, and cucumber all promise refreshing and surprising moments. Order yours on the rocks, frozen, large, or smaller. And Oh! Mexico also turns its margaritas into popsicles, the perfect way to brave a blazing beach.

The main tools you need for an awesome martini: an ice-cold glass and quality booze. And established South of Fifth steakhouse Prime 112 knows how to get the job done right. Known for serving celebrity clientele, the bartenders can stir (or shake, if you fancy yourself a James Bond type) one mean martini. Whether you're into vodka or gin, blue cheese-stuffed olives or a twist, or maybe something a little sweeter like a lychee martini, Prime 112 whips this cocktail up exactly to your specifications, serves them super cold, and, mercifully, filled to the brim.

Miami Beach's Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company has killer drinks and sets a vibe with DJs and live music. But best of all? It serves up the best of the best bar food. That's thanks to a menu by James Beard-winning chef Michelle Bernstein, who packed it with filling and fantastic fare, like her famous fried chicken, cauliflower nachos, and a tuna crudo that's absolutely melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The neon sign asking you to "pursue happiness"? These folks know that happiness is a full late-night belly. The entire menu is served every day until 4:30 a.m., so you'll barely have to leave the dance floor to get in that late-night bite.

Much more than a simple café, Paradis was one of the most beloved places in Miami and a crucial gathering spot for local activists and advocacy organizations. The food was comforting yet sophisticated, the wine was well-curated, and the books were radical and insightful. It's perhaps that last bit that resulted in a Fox News-incited harassment campaign against the restaurant, which led to them locking their social media. It was one of many reasons, along with family issues among the collective ownership, that Paradis closed its doors. It will be deeply mourned and sorely missed.

Miami's popular modern Asian restaurant, Kyu, officially reopened in Wynwood with a fully renovated dining area and its classic roasted cauliflower. In 2022, when Wynwood lost Kyu, the strip along NW 25th Street wasn't quite the same. First opened in 2016, the pan-Asian, wood-fired restaurant led by executive chef and Eleven Madison Park alum Christopher Arellanes shuttered for more than two years after storms caused severe damage. After extensive updates, Kyu is back, and fans of its famous roasted cauliflower and beef short ribs can finally rejoice, feast, and heave a sigh of relief.
