Bar Kaiju

Miami, US

Nestled in a lofty industrial second-floor nook with a bird’s eye view of the Citadel food hall below, sitting at Bar Kaiju feels like finding one of the city’s most dynamic, secret clubhouses and is the perfect place for cocktail drinkers looking for something a little off-the-beaten path. Bar Kaiju is dedicated to the monsters of famous Asian cinema, and the independent cocktail bar goes all-in on the theme. Electric red lights cast a glow on the collages of movie monster posters that line the back bar, and the seriously playful cocktail menu, where each drink is inspired by a famous beast, is modelled after a deck of trading cards. Cocktails span a spectrum of light and refreshing to brooding and boozy. In a world full of carbon copy speakeasy-style bars, Bar Kaiju is a welcome breath of fresh air.
