Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery

Why we ranked it a top bar:

Editorial rating: 8.4/10
Price: $$$
Best for: rum devotees, intimate speakeasy dates, South Beach without the nonsense
Best night: late evening

The Miami Beach Swizzle is a rum temple hiding in plain sight. The report emphasizes historical mural work, museum-like walls, classic and contemporary rum drinks, snug seating, and a speakeasy-dark feel.

It is for two or four, not twenty. The room seals itself against Collins Avenue and lets rum conduct the evening. Outside may be South Beach; inside is a darker map.
