Mini Bar is a laid-back cocktail bar that’s perfect for a casual date. Located in the Urbanica Hotel, it attracts a local crowd with its small, unpretentious vibe and affordable, well-crafted drinks. With a friendly atmosphere and a solid Happy Hour from 5-9pm, it’s a great spot for a relaxed, enjoyable evening without the crowds and high prices of typical South Beach bars. We recommend trying the South Beach Z Pack or the Pucker Up - they're served in Minibar's signature tiny liquor bottles just like the ones found in hotel minibars.
