Room 55
Perched atop the Pelican Hotel on Ocean Drive, Room 55 is Miami Beach’s secret rooftop speakeasy, blending retro elegance and skyline escape. The entrance is discreet — you’d likely pass right by it unless you're in the know. Inside, the mood is intimate: plush seating, ambient lighting, vintage touches, and a mix of enclosed lounge and open terrace with sweeping views of the Atlantic and South Beach skyline. The cocktail program leans bold and imaginative, with signature drinks like Guavalajara, Red Moon Margarita, Silk and Sand, Jazz Aged, Golden Scarlet, and more. Classics get reinterpreted with flair — e.g. Miss Josephine, Clara Bow, Corn ’N’ Oil. The menu also includes mocktails and elevated food pairings (raw bar, tartare, charcuterie, seafood, etc.). By night, the terrace becomes a starlit haven — intimate yet energetic enough to host people who want to linger over drinks and views. Residents describe it as “vintage charm,” “hidden gem,” and “must-visit rooftop speakeasy.” The bar is part of the Pelican Hotel’s revitalization, intended to restore the glamour of Ocean Drive’s heyday. Room 55 also has a dual personality: by day the Pelican Café occupies part of the hotel front, while at night Room 55 steals the show as the rooftop bar and lounge. It’s a destination for cocktail lovers who prefer sophistication over spectacle — a place to sip slowly, talk quietly, and savor Miami Beach from above.
