After the Show in Miami, Seven Second Stops
A Miami theatre night is really two nights. Seven places to go once the curtain falls, from a ninth-floor bar to a market hall with several kitchens.
Monday 🩰 Cross the boulevard first
The Ziff Ballet Opera House at 1300 Biscayne Boulevard, 4.8 from 15 reviews, ends the show with the boulevard in front of you. Leave by the street doors rather than the garage and let the walk decide the next stop. The night is not over when the lights come up.
Tuesday 🍸 A bar on the ninth floor
Yamashiro on the ninth floor of the Gale Hotel at 159 Northeast 6th Street, 4.8 from 2,496 reviews, gives a post-show drink a view. Order something short, stay for one round, and take the skyline in before the night thins out.
Wednesday 🌴 A terrace after dark
Tomorrowland at 1368 North Miami Avenue, 4.5 from 280 reviews, is a room built for the hours after a curtain. A cocktail, a plate from the late kitchen, and no reason to move on quickly. Weeknights are the version worth having.
Thursday 🍣 A sushi counter
Uchi at 252 Northwest 25th Street is the stop for a night that deserves one proper course. Japanese cooking with a non-traditional accent, sushi and a seasonal omakase. Look at the menu before you commit to the full tasting.
Friday 🎧 Loud, then louder
Higher Ground at 2217 Northwest Miami Court, 3.9 from 17 reviews, is a bar for a second wind. Drinks at the bar, a courtyard to stand in, and a room that does not ask you to leave early. The rating is not the reason to be here.
Saturday 🏮 Several kitchens, one address
1-800-Lucky at 143 Northwest 23rd Street, 4.5 from 3,873 reviews, puts several counters and a bar in one place. Order from two of them and share what arrives. Nobody in the group has to agree on a cuisine.
Sunday 🦪 Raw bar at the water
Monty's on South Bayshore Drive, 4.6, ends the week with oysters and a marina view. Sit outside, order a dozen, and let the evening finish slowly. Sunday in Miami is best near the water.
