Best happy hour with the most stunning views of Miami River. Enjoy a mojito or beer while admiring the skyline of Miami downtown and the occasional million dollar boat traveling down the river. The outdoor space is beautiful and elegant and sometimes you'll get to see the bridges opening up so large ships can go through.
