The Anderson

Miami


The Anderson is a great neighborhood bar with a dimly lit interior sprinkled with red couches, animal-print fabrics, wild wallpaper and a glittering jukebox. Head to the back patio for more of a tropical-themed setting where you can dip your toes in the sand (never mind the absent oceanfront).

Come on Thursdays for live music (jazz, blues and rockabilly) or on Friday and Saturday nights for DJs.
