Broken Shaker Miami Beach

Broken Shaker is the cocktail bar tucked into the courtyard of Freehand Miami at 2727 Indian Creek Drive in Mid Beach, pouring garden-driven drinks around the pool from 5 PM nightly. It started as a 2012 pop-up built by Gabriel Orta and Elad Zvi of Bar Lab, became a permanent fixture, and went on to win the James Beard Award for Outstanding Bar Program and rank on the World’s 50 Best Bars list.

The cocktails

The bar program runs on house-made syrups, infusions, and herbs grown in an on-site garden rather than a fixed printed list of classics. Drinks change with what is fresh, but the style stays consistent: bright, tropical, and produce-forward. A signature example is the Little Miss Sunshine, built with Florida kaffir lime and lemongrass from the bar’s own herb garden, Thai basil, St-Germain, and vodka. Expect seasonal riffs and rotating specials alongside a short list of standards.

The setting

The room is really a garden and pool deck, not an indoor bar. Seating spreads across the patio, around the pool, and under string lights and a disco ball in the planted courtyard of Freehand Miami. It is open-air and conversation-friendly, closer to a backyard party than a nightclub, which is why it pulls in both hotel guests and locals.

Hours, happy hour, and reservations

Broken Shaker is open Sunday through Thursday from 5:00 PM to 12:00 AM and Friday and Saturday from 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, with last call about 15 minutes before close. The La Piscina happy hour runs daily from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM with discounted poolside bites and drinks, and the full food menu is served from 5:00 PM to 11:45 PM. Reservations are requested and can be booked at brokenshaker.com; walk-ins are welcome when there is space. For more Miami Beach cocktail spots, see our best bars in Miami Beach guide.
