A Music-Focused Bar
Dante’s HiFi
Dante’s HiFi isn’t your typical bar—it’s Miami’s first all-vinyl listening bar. Located on the outer ridge of Wynwood, this off-the-beaten-path destination features a wall lined with thousands of vinyl records from the personal collection of music director DJ Rich Medina.
Inspired by the high-fidelity listening rooms of Japan, Dante’s HiFi creates an atmosphere where music takes center stage.

The dimly lit space offers expertly crafted cocktails to complement the sonic experience.

Wine & Casual Vibes
Lagniappe
If there’s one bar that captures the spirit of Miami’s creative community, it’s Lagniappe. This award-winning wine bar and jazz club has been a Midtown/Wynwood favorite since 2012, earning recognition as one of the top wine bars in America by Wine Enthusiast.
The magic of Lagniappe lies in its self-service approach and enchanting outdoor space. Upon arrival, you select your wine or craft beer from fridges and racks displaying over 200 bottles from small, organic, biodynamic, and raw wine producers. You can also hand-select meats and cheeses for a custom charcuterie board. After paying at the counter, you venture into the lush, expansive backyard garden strung with twinkling lights.
The outdoor space is a mismatched collection of chairs and tables that creates an intimate, eclectic atmosphere. Live music happens every night at 9pm, featuring some of Miami’s finest musicians and, occasionally, Grammy-winning artists performing jazz, making the garden feel like an old New Orleans jazz parlor.
The simple grilled menu includes classics like churrasco, fresh fish, and organic chicken, but most guests come for the wine, cheese, and the magical ambiance. Be warned: this is Miami’s worst-kept secret, so arrive before 8pm if you want to secure a table in the coveted outdoor garden.
