In the heart of Hialeah, behind a discreet façade, lies 9 Feet Under—a speakeasy that transports visitors to the clandestine elegance of the 1920s… but with a tropical spin. Even the entrance is part of the game: a hidden doorway that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a well-kept secret.
Once inside, the ambiance blends dark wood, dim lighting, and Art Deco details with nods to Caribbean culture. It’s the perfect mix between a private club from another era and Miami’s warm, vibrant spirit.
Cocktails That Tell Stories
The bar at 9 Feet Under is a show in itself. Here, bartenders don’t just prepare drinks—they tell their stories. Among the house favorites are the Rum Runner’s Whisper, with aged rum, pineapple, and spices, and The Gatsby in Havana, a tropical twist on the classic gin fizz. Every cocktail is meticulously presented, with vintage glassware and garnishes straight out of a movie scene.
For those seeking alcohol-free options, the menu also features mocktails crafted with the same dedication: tropical fruit infusions, fresh herbs, and artisanal tonics.

The Miami Touch That Makes It Unique
While the inspiration comes from the roaring twenties, one element sets 9 Feet Under apart from any other speakeasy: its local flavor. The menu features tropical ingredients like guava, passion fruit, and Cuban coffee, all woven into drinks that tell the story of the city.
