The Broken Shaker at the Freehand Hostel is a vibrant, tropical oasis serving creative cocktails in a cozy backyard beside the pool.
"So Broken Shaker is technically in Mid-Beach. But, it’s really not that far from South Beach, and if you’re looking for places to drink in the area it’s worth considering. The outdoor bar is immensely popular because it’s a beautiful space with poolside seating and a lush landscape. Broken Shaker also has one of the best cocktail menus in the city. If you’re coming on a weekend night, expect a crowd (and maybe even a line to get in). Still, it’s one of our favorite places to drink in Miami—when we can find an open seat." - ryan pfeffer
"Broken Shaker is a beloved cocktail bar known for its innovative cocktail program and laid-back, bohemian atmosphere. Despite a recent change in ownership, the bar will continue to operate as usual under Generator Hotel, which has committed to preserving and enhancing the brand's legacy." - Olee Fowler
"If you are having dinner at 27, walk out the back door for drinks at Broken Shaker, a cocktail bar we love for all the same reasons. You can stand and mingle in the outdoor space, or sit down by the pool and share a humongous punch bowl with five friends. Wherever you end up, there’s not a bad seat on the patio. The tropical space is full of palm trees, a pool you’re actually allowed to swim in, and a crowd who’re all acting like they’re on vacation, even the locals. This place just has that effect on you." - ryan pfeffer
"A Miami institution for cocktails, the Broken Shaker is ideal for a daytime first-date cocktail and maybe even a dip in the pool. The daily punch is a smart choice when browsing the menu in search of something to take the edge off and calm those first-date jitters." - Amber Love Bond
"While its drinks may be its main draw, this award-winning outdoor bar offers a menu of equally exciting dishes. After a long day of beach activities, indulge in the daily catch tacos or the spicy griot. And why stop the fun there? Sip on a refreshing cocktail or the featured punch of the day, and dip in the pool to keep the party going a bit longer." - Amber Love Bond
