Presidente

It is always a good rule to avoid any bar or restaurant in Miami with a doorman and a velvet rope. Presidente makes us rethink this guideline, with a dark, sexy, modern atmosphere that still feels surprisingly relaxed. The music is just the right level of loud without making you scream, and drinks are creative, Italian/Argentine creations like the Negroni Presidente with hibiscus-infused Bombay Sapphire, house vermouth, and Campari. It’s what landed the Buenos Aires original on the list of World’s 50 Best Bars.

Pro tip: Be nice to the staff, and they just might invite you back to the secret Bibliotecha. The one phrase you know in Spanish finally comes in handy.
