THE ESSENTIAL MIAMI BARS EVERY VISITOR SHOULD CHECK OUT

The best bar you’ll find in an outhouse: Don’t think for a second the people who run the Bodega taco stop are trying to keep this bar a secret. On weekends the line to get in can stretch all the way down 16th St. It’s best described as secret-themed, where the only entrances are behind an outhouse door near the taco dining area, or another door that looks like the entrance to a walk-in freezer. The fun of discovering a two-level speakeasy behind a taco shop carries into the bar itself, where locals and tourists pack the place almost every night of the week. It’s the kind of bar you hope to find when you say, “I want to go where the locals go,” a spot enough off the beaten path that it weeds out the worst of the tourists, but still sexy enough to warrant a visit. And if you want to get to know people who call South Beach home, and aren’t into dive bars, this is your best bet.
