Jaguar Sun

Typically, a bar set under public transportation tracks isn't known for destination dining, but Jaguar Sun recently notched itself a Michelin Bib Gourmand and doubles as one of Miami’s best bars. The drinks stand on their own, headlined by the Green Ghoul with tequila, mezcal, poblano, cucumber, and lime and the $10 martini happy hour. The small space makes for an inviting place to spend a few hours under the Metromover, thanks in large part to a lively, friendly staff, and crowd of devoted regulars who also make it one of Miami’s top spots to dine alone.

Miami may have no more devoted group of solo diners than the ones who belly up to the bar at Jaguar Sun. Each one seems to know bar master Wil Thompson like they’re old friends, where orders of the cacio y pepe or famous Parker House rolls are brought out without anyone even having to peruse a menu. The cozy, convivial atmosphere is complemented by fantastic fresh pastas and a full raw bar. But the reason people stick around beyond dinner is the cocktails. You’ll feel the urge to down multiple Green Ghouls—made with tequila, mezcal, poblano, cucumber, and lime—and get so caught up in the flavors you’ll barely realize you’re halfway to a hangover.
