🍸Welcome to Dirty Martini Social

Hi, and welcome to The Dirty Martini Social — we’re so glad you found us.

This isn’t just a blog. It’s the beginning of something bigger. We're building a real community for women in Miami — a space that feels equal parts laid-back and intentional, fun and thoughtful, stylish and unfiltered. Whether you're a Magic City native or new to the 305, this club is for you.

We’re here to create more than just events (though ours are pretty great). We're curating moments, conversations, and recommendations that actually feel like you. From dinner parties and book clubs to neighborhood gems and can’t-miss cocktail spots — this is your go-to space for all things social, with substance.

Our goals are simple:

  • To build authentic community among women — locals and transplants alike.

  • To recommend only the places and people we’d share with our inner circle.

  • To host gatherings that reflect real-life interests — not just what’s trending.

And what better way to kick things off than with a proper drink?

Top 10 Spots for a Dirty Martini in Miami & Fort Lauderdale

We’ve sipped, stirred, and taste-tested — here are our top picks for where to get a standout dirty martini (plus some great ambiance to match):

1. Bayshore ClubCoconut Grove

With an unbeatable view of the marina, a crowd that’s equal parts family-friendly and lively, and martinis that are both strong and refreshing — this spot delivers a full experience. Come for sunset, stay for round two.

2. Sunny's SteakhouseLittle River

An underrated gem with a serious martini game. From classic dirtys to creative twists, their variety is top-tier, and every pour is high quality.

3. Monterrey BarMiami Beach

Step into a Gatsby-era dream. This art-deco gem has a strong martini menu and even stronger vibes. It’s luxe without the pretense.

4. Pastis MiamiWynwood

Their mini dirty martini is a must — perfectly dirty with a citrusy lime kick. Bonus points for the Paris-meets-Miami aesthetic.

5. Barcelona Wine BarWynwood

Yes, it's a wine bar — but don’t skip the martini. It’s surprisingly delicious, refreshingly cheap, and pairs perfectly with tapas.

6. Apothecary 330 – A Cocktail BarFt. Lauderdale

A speakeasy hidden behind a pizza place. Their dirty martini is crisp and refreshing, and the quirky, cozy decor makes it a perfect low-key nightcap spot.

7. KaoriBrickell

Their drinks are serious business, and the martini is no exception. It’s bold, balanced, and the energy of the room makes every sip feel like a main character moment.

8. Caffe AbbracciCoral Gables

Old-school glamour meets modern charm under a stained-glass ceiling. The martinis? Smooth, well-portioned, and elegant—just like the space.

9. Le JardinierDesign District

A chic French spot with heavy-handed pours (in the best way). Ideal for when you're dressed up and feeling a little fancy.

10. Brothers KeeperMiami Beach

A gritty dive bar feel with a martini that could rival a white-tablecloth joint. Lowkey, cool, and no-frills — but the drinks? Impressive.
