Downtown Miami is getting another cool bar.

Bar La Real, housed in the attic of an historic building built in 1917, comes to us Friday by way of White Feather Management, the team behind Wynwood’s ever popular El Patio and Mayami Latin.

The name is Spanish for peacock, short for pavo real.

The theme: Tropiglam. As in Little Havana meets South Beach.

“At Bar La Real we walk the line between elegant and extravagant in everything that we do,” says the venue’s art director Carlos “Beto” Perez Fleta.

Expect “an intricately designed” craft cocktail menu, with such offerings as drinks topped with caviar and cocktails infused with wasabi sake.

You can also order classics like an old fashioned, mojito and gin and tonic, grab a mocktail or partake in a hookah experience.

There’s a focus on music here, too; themed nights will run weekly, so brush up on your moves.

“Our mission has been the same from inception: to make Bar La Real a unique environment that can only be understood through having lived it,” says Nicolas Hoyos, CEO. “From music to mixology, every aspect of the experience is special and thoughtful in its execution.”
