This may not be the first-ever rooftop bar in Miami, but it has the added advantage of a unique, eye-catching building and a west-facing patio offering unique and exquisite views of the city. The pink walls and butterflies outside and the hanging plants that make up the décor give the bar a very photogenic feel. The sunsets are divine here, but when paired with Greek wines and a comfy bed, it turns into the rooftop bar experience of a lifetime.
