Ray's Hometown Bar

"How to get in touch: Email them here. 27 is perfect for someone who wants to throw a big house party but doesn’t want to deal with the aftermath. The Miami Beach restaurant sits inside a literal house with a large patio. It has an event space upstairs called the eagle room and shares a pool with the neighboring Freehand Hotel. You could buy out the restaurant and have a wedding ceremony, reception, dinner, and dance party all in the same property. Or you can book them individually. The patio starts at $3,000 and can seat up to 40 guests. And the eagle room can fit up to 85 people, standing." - virginia otazo

"27 is located within a Miami Beach hostel, so when the tourists come, it fills up fast with people in wide-brimmed hats talking loudly about their recent trip to Tulum. And there's something special about dining here when it's a little quieter. It feels like you're house-sitting for someone much cooler than you. The cocktails and food at this Miami Beach classic still deliver. The menu is inspired by quintessential Miami dishes like daily catch ceviche, griot, and Jamaican oxtail lasagna. It’s a good spot to reunite with, especially now that you won’t have to overhear a conversation about the transformative powers of a Tulum jungle rave." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

"This eclectic, multi-room restaurant is a favorite among locals, known for its assorted menu and laid-back vibe. Serving a Miami Spice $60 dinner Wednesday through Friday, dishes include a daily catch ceviche, roasted baby carrots, lasagna with Jamaican oxtail, seafood risotto, and kimchi fried rice." - Alona Martinez

"South Beach ends at 24th Street. 27 is located on 27th Street. But if you’re looking for a reliably excellent dining option in Miami Beach, don’t let a geographic technicality keep you from this classic. 27 is the antithesis of the kind of sceney South Beach spots that force-feed you pyrotechnics and house music to convince you you’re having fun. The restaurant, which is located in an old house, is effortlessly cool and the food is a thoughtful nod to Miami culture. There are rotating dishes like griot and pikliz, local fish cooked a few different ways, and pulpo a la huancaina. When you’re done eating, walk out the back door for drinks at Broken Shaker, 27’s outdoor cocktail bar we love for all the same reasons. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"27 Restaurant, located next to Broken Shaker, is also included in the recent sale to Generator Hotel. The restaurant will continue its operations with the same dedication to quality and service under the new ownership." - Olee Fowler
