Gramps

"This Wynwood cocktail bar might advertise its "Cold Beer" and "Air Conditioning," but its cocktails are nothing to be ignored. Its laid-back atmosphere and strong — yet balanced — drinks make it the perfect spot to begin or end the night." - Olee Fowler

"At this point, Wynwood is absolutely filthy with awful clubs and lounges. And as those places multiply, Gramps becomes all the more important of an oasis. Come here for great cocktails, a crowd you won’t hate, and a perfectly South Florida aesthetic that feels like a mash-up between Key West, South Beach, and the Everglades. The DJs here are fantastic, and Gramps hosts the occasional live show too. If nothing else, the weekly drag night (every Thursday at 9pm) is going to inspire you to tear that dance floor to shreds." - mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer

"With good pizza, a shaded outdoor patio, and half-off drinks during Happy Hour, Gramps is one of Wynwood’s most popular hangouts. It's also one of the best bars in Miami and has an incredible drag show every Thursday called Double Stubble. Their multi-faceted space also hosts film screenings, stand-up shows, and heavy metal concerts. There's really nothing else quite like Gramps in this city. " - isabel maza

"People love to ask what you’d bring with you if you were trapped on a desert island and sure, a lighter and a cell phone would be nice. But if we could bring one bar with us, it’d be Gramps. No other bar in Miami is as versatile. A week at this Wynwood spot includes karaoke, pizza, live music, killer DJs, and the best drag show in town every Thursday night. Add to that the best cocktails in Wynwood, a very good Happy Hour, and Pizza Tropical’s fantastic NY-style pizza in the back, and we’d happily spend a few years alone with Gramps on an island. " - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino

"Gramps is a time capsule full of everything that made Wynwood exciting before developers tore it to shreds: lots of color, culture, and booze. Inside you’ll find sneaky good cocktails, cold beer, and just the right amount of kitsch. And outside, there’s a tropical kaleidoscope of palm trees and paint, where fantastic DJs, drag performers, and live music take turns sharing the stage. You can spend a lot of time at Gramps without getting bored, and when you get hungry, they also serve excellent pizza in the backyard. Their drag night happens every Thursday, and is always a blast. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
