Miami does not really close. The Katz runs a Black-owned kitchen and lounge in North Miami till 4am, Dukunoo fries in Wynwood till 3, and Dante's HiFi spins vinyl a few blocks over. Downtown, The Corner and Blackbird Ordinary pour till 5am, Mac's Club Deuce has been open 8am to 5am since 1926, and Club Space holds a 24-hour license, the Terrace is best once the sun is up.
Tap a gold pin and jump to the card below.
Edwine Mathurin's North Miami room turns from restaurant into lounge as the night goes, and on weekends it runs until four in the morning. Black-owned, Caribbean-leaning, and one of the few places in the county serving real food that late.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned, kitchen and lounge till 4am
Chef Tobias and Ricardo Young's Midtown restaurant and lounge, Black-owned and built for a long night. Hours shift with the calendar, so call before you drive over.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned, call ahead for late hours
Rum punch, oxtail and jerk in the middle of Wynwood with the kitchen still firing at three in the morning on weekends. The best late plate in the neighborhood, and it isn't close.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned, kitchen open till 3am Fri–Sat
Rich Medina directs the music, 8,500 records line the wall, and the sound system was built to be listened to rather than shouted over. Second Tuesdays are all-vinyl R&B. Go after midnight.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned vinyl listening bar, till 3am
The Beach location of the Little Haiti original, serving Haitian plates on Alton Road until one on Friday and Saturday. Black-owned, unhurried, and a real alternative to the Washington Avenue circuit.
Pip’s Tip Black-owned, the Beach outpost, till 1am
The bar keeps going after the kitchen slows, and on Friday and Saturday it runs to midnight. Not the latest room on this list, but the one with the most history under the floorboards.
Pip’s Tip Bar till midnight Fri–Sat
The 24-hour license means the Terrace is still going when the sun comes up over Biscayne, which is a Miami rite of passage. Floyd downstairs runs Friday through Sunday, eleven to five.
Pip’s Tip 24-hour license, the Terrace at sunrise
Brickell's neighborhood bar that happens to stay open until five every single night. Pool table, back patio, DJ in the corner, and no attitude at four in the morning.
Pip’s Tip 5am every night of the week
A downtown room built around a serious sound system, booking house, disco and soul for people who came to dance rather than be seen. Small enough that the DJ can tell how it's going.
Pip’s Tip Downtown, built around the sound system
Tucked under the Metromover tracks on Flagler with strong drinks and a crowd that actually lives downtown. Open until three Wednesday through Saturday, and never trying too hard.
Pip’s Tip Under the Metromover, till 3am
Open until five, right by Club Space, and it gives Tuesday nights to free live jazz. The bar where the industry people end up after everywhere else closes.
Pip’s Tip Till 5am, free jazz on Tuesdays
A world's-best-bars regular that still feels like a neighborhood joint, open from four in the afternoon to five in the morning every day. Great daiquiris, great burger, no velvet rope anywhere.
Pip’s Tip 5am daily, and a real happy hour
South Beach's oldest bar, open twenty-one hours a day since 1926, no kitchen, no pretense, neon in the window and a pool table in the back. Everybody in Miami ends up here eventually.
Pip’s Tip Open 8am to 5am since 1926
Tacos out front until three in the morning, and a hidden bar behind the fake porta-potty door for the people who know. The most reliable 2am food on the Beach.
Pip’s Tip Tacos till 3am, speakeasy behind the porta-potty
The 1935 Calle Ocho room where Billie Holiday sang, still running live Afro-Cuban in the back patio until three on weekends. Sunday brings Salsero Sunday with a free lesson before the floor fills.
Pip’s Tip Till 3am Fri–Sat; Salsero Sundays
Julio Cabrera's cantineros shake in rhythm with the live band, and by midnight the space between the tables has become a dance floor. One of the best bars in the world, and it feels like a party rather than a museum.
Pip’s Tip Cantineros and live Cuban music till 2am
Miami's underground institution since 1979, back open and still loud. Punk, metal, jazz jams on Mondays, and a back patio that has hosted four decades of things nobody planned.
Pip’s Tip Reopened 2025 after five years dark
An open-air bar under mango trees in Little Haiti with a food window, a DJ booth and no roof anywhere. The most pleasant place in Miami to lose three hours on a weeknight.
Pip’s Tip Open-air, under the trees
Cut your own cheese, pick your own bottle, take a folding chair on the grass and let the band play until three. There is no other bar in Miami quite like it.
Pip’s Tip Live band nightly, till 3am on weekends
Venezuelan arepas, cachapas and tequeños coming out of the kitchen until four in the morning on weekends. Next door to Lagniappe, which makes the whole block a plan rather than a stop.
Pip’s Tip Venezuelan plates until 4am
Edwine Mathurin's Black-owned kitchen and lounge in North Miami, plates and a room going till 4am.
Late plates with the family after the lounge. Members hear first.
Late-night is one chapter of Pip's Lifestyle, find the lounges, whiskey bars, jazz clubs and the Domino Club below.
