5 Best Bars in Coconut Grove

The Taurus

Address: 3540 Main Hwy c103, Miami, FL 33133

A long-standing favorite, The Taurus is located in a quintessentially Coconut Grove location inside an old Florida bungalow. Sit on the porch watching the passersby on this main stretch of Coconut Grove, or get cozy in the lush backyard outfitted with big fans, making it comfortable to sit outside year-round. Now, under the helm of a James Beard-nominated chef, the food is surprisingly flavor forward and ingredient-driven for a bar. 

Go here if: A chill hang with laid-back vibes, good for a date night or a group outing. 

Our favorite drink: Get the Moose Juice 2.0 as a nod to the area’s passion for partying South Florida style. 

Monty’s Raw Bar 

Address: 2550 S Bayshore Dr, Miami, FL 33133

A Coconut Grove icon, every local knows Monty’s, and everyone has a story about a night at this bayside marina hangout with big tropical vibes. This outdoor restaurant is one of the only places in town where you can chill, overlooking the boats docked just a few feet away, while sitting under a tiki hut, listening to reggae. Yes, there should be more places like this, but we’re grateful to have Monty’s in it for the long haul. 

Go here if: You want a mood pick-me-up. The tropical setting makes it a go-to for a pleasant outing amongst family or friends. 

Our favorite drink: Get the Rum Runner for a sweet, fruity treat with a surprising amount of rum packed in it. 

Greenstreet Cafe

Address: 3468 Main Hwy, Miami, FL 33133

Greenstreet’s crowd will always attract your attention on a stroll through Coconut Grove because it’s always full of people having a good time over drinks and a meal. It also sits on a prime corner for seeing and being seen. For more than thirty years, Greenstreet has been holding it down in Coconut Grove, providing boozy brunches and after work hangs. 

Go here if: Casual enough for a regular pop in, but energetic enough to make for a must-visit, this neighborhood bistro serves up a chic European bar vibe. 

Our favorite drink: The frosé is the perfect thing to cool you down when you’re sitting on the corner, hanging out in Greenstreet’s lounge seating for a few hours. 

Vinos In The Grove

Address: 2889 McFarlane Rd, Miami, FL 33133

Lately, it feels like Miami’s wine scene is booming, so a list of bars in lively Coconut Grove wouldn’t be complete without a mention of their local wine bar. Vinos In The Grove is located in the Hotel Arya. Happy hour occurs most days of the week, with live music on Thursdays, setting a romantic scene. Pair your wine with a cheese board and some cured meats, and you have the makings of a perfect night out in Coconut Grove.

Address: 3413 Main Hwy, Miami, FL 33133
