About

Hidden above The Citadel, this playful cocktail bar turns a monster movie theme into something genuinely stylish. The room has a fun, slightly offbeat personality, but the drinks are serious, with a Japanese influence that gives the menu its own point of view. It works equally well for a casual night out or for people who like bars with a clear concept and real craft behind it. Service feels warm and personal, which keeps the whole place from becoming gimmicky. If you want a bar in Miami with imagination, character, and cocktails that stand on their own, this is an easy choice.

Curupira

Rosé de Cajá, Éther, Tropical

A bold, tropical riff on a classic Rosé de Cajá, inspired by Brazil's mythical forest guardians. It weaves together grassy notes of Açaí Cachaça and vibrant Amazonian botanicals of Canaïma Gin, balanced by guava-infused Amázzoni Luxxea, Mancino Vermouth, and Clement Rhum Agricole. A touch of Café cocoa bark adds earthy, chocolatey complexity.

Deathclaw

Cola botanicals, Desert citrus, Mojave sage, Patron 100

Inspired by Nuka-Cola Quantum from Fallout, built from clarified cola botanicals, desert citrus, and Mojave sage with Patron 100. This cocktail plays between the lines of cola & tonic creating lightly bittersweet and soft spice notes, with bright carbonation. Fun fact, this cocktail glows under UV light from the quinine, inspired by irradiated desert water after dark.
