Miami is known for the best clubs and parties, but nightlife is not just about that. There are other fun things to do in Miami at night other than clubs and here is my list (It might still involve drinking lol).
Clubs in Miami
Clubs in Miami are fantastic.
I have been to a Baoli Miami to the infamous E11even, and it was a good fun.
But getting blacked out and getting sh** faced is enough for one night if you are traveling to Miami, you want to do more than just clubbing and partying.
Not that I am saying we should stay in at night, but there are still cool things to do in Miami at night where you won’t need a bad hangover.
BTW, if you just want to do that, Living in Miami Beach has a good list of good clubs.
Private Night Cruise in Miami
This was one of the best things to do in Miami at night. You get to go on either a catamaran or a yacht.
If you want to do it cheap like me catamaran is a way to go.
They also provided un-limted wine when I went, but with covid I am not sure they will.
Living in Miami and I never once thought how beautiful the night lights were in Miami.
It felt like Hong Kong of America.
Book your Sunset Cruise on a catamaran
If you are more of a romantic person and have the budget to spend you can go on a yacht.

Hang Out in Wynwood at Night
Wynwood is a great place to spend a night because of many casual cocktail bars and I mean just bars.
My favourite is the Miami Mojito Company. It is a tiki bar and they ONLY serve mojito.
but not just a mojito, but with real sugar cane, so it is absolutely delicious.
There are many more bars where they have gourmet cocktails and where you can enjoy music.
I also loved El Patio and Gramp.
Left is Gramps where the DJ was in a Pecman and right is El-Patio where they give you fake cash as a voucher for drinks
There are literally new bars popping in Wynwood and I can’t even keep up with the Kardasians .

So the best way to find the bars in Wynwood would be to check out Time Out magazine.
They would give you pretty up-to-date information on bars.
Delano Hotel (or Any hotels on Collins Ave)
Did you know Miami has one of the most 5 star hotels in the world. And most of them are cluttered on Collins Ave.
The hotel lounges and bars have the best relaxing and loungey vibe.
When I lived in Miami for a year, this was what I used to do. Go around hotels and just enjoy some good cocktails.
Among all the hotels, in my opinion, the best was Delano hotel.
My next favourite was the Living Room at Faena hotel. It really screams luxury and even though it is luxury, people know how to have fun.

You will see people on every corner dancing. I know it is an Argentinian hotel, but it reminded me in Colombia where everybody just danced everywhere.
Broken Shaker is a hostel where you can Netflix drink and chill. Like these new hotel trends, Broken Shaker also utilize their lounge / check in area.
Every corner is a bar and a restaurant. Either you are staying there or not, I can assure you that you will meed some great new people.
But the best is probably the Edition hotel basement where they have an ice rink, a silent disco and bowling alley.
These are only few of the hotel bars that I enjoyed. There are few more where Eater 38 says the best hotel bars.
I think I agree with all of it except the Fountain Bleu, because I didn’t like Fountain Bleu. I am not sure, but it just felt like a busy market with no unique vibe.
Everglades Nighttime Airboat
One of the things we can do is to go on a airboat at nighttime.
Everglades was one of my highlight of the trip as you can see wild alligators and wild birds. But all the alligators were mostly sleeping and not moving much.
But if you go at nighttime you will see a lot of alligators actually swimming and moving.
They usually just run on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so I think you should check before you book.

Hang Out on Ocean Drive
Ocean Drive is probably the most famous road on South beach. It is not only where Versace lived and got shot, but also all the fun parties happen.
If you don’t like the noise, you can still enjoy the calm night on Ocean Drive with live music.
Oh, and don’t forget the beautiful beach during the day.
But there is also of course more than just beach and parties on Ocean Drive, so I made an extensive list on what to do on Ocean Drive.

Big Bus Miami Tour
OK. I am just putting this on the list as Big Bus is so popular for some reason.
I don’t like it but I almost do it in every city.
But I probably did it in New York like 10 times whenever my friends came. It is just a super easy way of showing people around in one day.
You know getting all the touristy thing done in one day, so after that you can enjoy the rest of the vacation like a local.
But there is a unique night big bus tour, so I put it on the list. If you are a Big Bus type of person check it out below.
