Panamericano Bar
Perched on the second floor of Mary Brickell Village, Panamericano Bar is a new cocktail destination in Miami that centers exclusively on spirits and flavors from the Americas. The concept flips the script on the usual European base spirits: here you'll find Peruvian vodka, Mexican gin, Caribbean rums, Central American agaves — a kind of pan-American spirit curation. The bar is built like a performance space: a T-shaped bar by Norwegian firm Behind Bars brings the bartenders and their techniques into clear view, making drink making part of the show. Inside, expect plush red curtains, velvet seating, dark tones, contrasted with herbal greens. The ambiance leans theatrical and immersive — bold, moody, and designed for slow, ritual drinking. Many cocktails come with ceremonial touches — blindfolded service, candlelit presentations, or narrative backstories that evoke cultures and ceremonies across the Americas. The menu features inventive concoctions like Taco Martini (tequila, sotol, tomato, etc.), From Argentina With Love, Barries & Samba, Cacao Ceremony, San Pedro Ceremony, and more. Guests say the space is dim, the cocktail descriptions are long and dense, and you might struggle to read them in low light — but that’s part of the vibe. The entry is discreet: hidden behind Novecento and requiring a buzzer to be admitted. In effect, Panamericano is a bar for cocktail enthusiasts who want narrative, surprise, and performance built into their drinks. It’s not about fast drinks — it’s about conversations, stories, rituals, and the sensory journey across the Americas.
