Café La Trova:
For both locals and travelers, finding a place to drink in Miami isn't the hard part - narrowing down the vast number of options to the best ones is the challenge. With a bar scene unlike any other, Magic City is officially home to two of the 50 Best Bars in North America, according to hundreds of beverage experts from The World's 50 Best.
Although The 50 Best Bars have been ranking cocktail bars since 2009, the list of the 50 Best Bars in North America debuted last year to shine a light on more beverage establishments.
It has even received a second recognition in the form of the Roku Industry Icon prize, awarded to founder Julio Cabrera in honor of his work bringing Cuban bartender style to the city.
Part bar, part restaurant, and part music venue, it's like taking a time machine to 20th-century Cuba through delicious craft cocktails and classic décor. It's the famous home of "La Chancleta," a classic mix of cachaça, ginger honey syrup, and lime juice served in a wooden sandal. You can also try a Hemingway Special (rum, maraschino, grapefruit, and lime juice), a Hotel Nacional (pineapple rum, apricot liqueur, pineapple and lime juice), and a simple criollo mojito (rum, lime, sugar, mint, and sparkling water).
