Once the only worthy bar option in Wynwood after dark, Cafeina was one of the first true upscale hideaways to set-up a permanent base in Miami's hottest art neighborhood. While some hate gentrification, Cafeina embraced it and even promoted it via endless of reality TV stars and red carpet art parties at its sprawling compound of lounge, gallery-space and tapas-style restaurant that's been a hotspot sine opening in 2010. Today, owner Ivette Naranjo creates a modern-version of a Habana cocktail scene with grand parlor lined in oriental rugs, alcoves arranged in leather couches and moody bar with baroque chandeliers looming from above.

A staircase joins a mezzanine level additional seating and reprieve from the frenetic bar action of most weekends with tapas-style menu available with appetizers like Kobe sliders, crab cakes and truffled beef carpaccio. DJs roll a club mix of vintage rock and modern dance anthems that can get hot and heavy on weekends. Outside, a sprawling terrace is arranged in rattan sofas and covered cabanas connecting to a gallery annex that hosts rotating exhibits by local and international artists.

Tips

Checkout the online calendar for even listings and art openings open to the public in addition to weekend events and guest DJs.
