Upside is bringing a little more late-night energy to Wynwood with a cocktail destination built around music, design, and a room that changes with the hour. Located on NW 28th Street, the space moves from daytime drinks to DJ sets, late-night performances, and cultural pop-ups tied to the moments Miami actually cares about.
Miami Guide Take
Upside is Wynwood’s new music-driven cocktail lounge combining elevated drinks, shareable dishes from Chef Pablo Lamon, DJ programming, and late-night events at 59 NW 28th St.
The bar program leans elevated without feeling too serious, with signature cocktails designed for long nights and a rotating calendar of music programming. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Pablo Lamon, a Top Chef Season 16 alum, serving shareable plates like Lobster Nuggets, Manchego Croquettes, Braised Short Rib, and Truffle Grilled Cheese — the kind of menu built for a table that plans on staying awhile.
Expect spirit collaborations, game day watch parties, DJ takeovers, and art and fashion activations that fit right into Wynwood’s creative rhythm. Come early for cocktails. Stay when the speakers turn up.
Best For:
Late-night drinks, group hangs, date nights that need a little energy, and anyone who thinks dinner should probably end with a DJ set.
