Cafe La Trova

Miami, Florida

Julio Cabrera — one of the world's great bartenders — built a cantina on Calle Ocho that channels 1950s Havana with live music, mojitos made the old way, and a daiquiri program that will ruin you for lesser versions. The dining room serves serious Cuban food, but the real magic happens at the bar, where the cantineros perform with the showmanship of a lost era.

Insider tip

Sit at the bar and order a daiquiri. The classic, no fruit, no blender. Watch them make it. That's the show.

Joe's Stone Crab

Open since 1913 and still the most essential meal in Miami. The stone crabs arrive cracked, chilled, and served with Joe's legendary mustard sauce that no one has successfully replicated in over a century. The line is absurd and reservations are only for dinner, but that's because everyone in this city knows: this is the real thing.

Ariete

Ariete

Chef Michael Beltran cooks the food of his Cuban-American childhood through a fine-dining lens, and every plate feels like a love letter to the city. The croqueta prep is a masterclass. The oxtail with bone marrow is obscenely good. Coconut Grove needed a restaurant this serious, and Ariete delivered.

The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller

Thomas Keller took over the dining room of a 1930s members-only beach club in Surfside, and the result is transportive. The room is all terrazzo floors, arched windows, and ocean light. The food is classic American-French — roast chicken, Dover sole, pristine salads — executed with the precision you'd expect from the man behind The French Laundry.

DrinkNE Portland · Portland, Oregon

Too Soon

A small, intentional cocktail bar on NE 28th Avenue — Earl Ninsom's most recent project, with the kind of seasonal menu and Asian-leaning drinks that make Portland's bar scene feel like its own distinct thing. The room is intimate and warm, the menu rotates with what's growing, and the bartenders will happily build you something off-script if you tell them your mood.

DrinkLoHi · Denver, Colorado

Williams & Graham

Behind a bookcase in what appears to be an old-timey bookshop lies one of the best cocktail bars in the country. That's not an exaggeration — it's been on every important bar list since it opened. The drinks are meticulous, the room is dark and handsome, and the bartenders have the kind of quiet confidence that comes from knowing they're working at the top of their game.
