Tucked inside the Meridian Hotel just steps from the beach in South of Fifth (Miami Beach’s quieter, more sophisticated southern tip), Minibar is a hidden cocktail lounge that locals have kept half to themselves for years. The Infatuation calls it one of South of Fifth’s best drinking options, especially for something casual. Daily happy hour runs 4–8 PM with $8 cocktails, beer, and wine, and the small courtyard seating provides just enough breathing room. It transitions into a vibrant late-night lounge as the evening builds, but retains an intimate energy that the massive Ocean Drive venues can’t replicate. Small name, big reputation among those who know.
