Sweet Liberty

Miami, Florida

The best cocktail bar on the beach, and it's not particularly close. John Lermayer built a bar that's serious about its craft without being remotely pretentious — the drinks are perfectly balanced, the crowd is mixed, and the energy is pure South Beach without the bottle-service nonsense. It's won every award that matters and still feels like your neighborhood spot.

Insider tip

The Miami Vice — half pina colada, half strawberry daiquiri, all frozen, zero irony. Trust the process.

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
EatCoconut Grove

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.

DrinkCapitol Hill · Seattle, Washington

Glasswing

A cocktail bar that feels like someone's immaculate apartment — blush tones, low light, plants everywhere, and a menu of drinks so pretty you'll photograph them before tasting them. But the beauty isn't hollow. The cocktails are technically sharp and balanced, the bartenders are warm, and the small-plates menu holds its own. It's Capitol Hill at its most polished without losing its soul.

DrinkSoMa · San Francisco, California

The Interval at Long Now

A bar and café inside the headquarters of the Long Now Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to long-term thinking. The space houses a prototype of a 10,000-year clock, a library curated to last centuries, and a cocktail menu that's more thoughtful than most philosophy departments. It's the most intellectually stimulating place to drink in San Francisco, possibly anywhere.
