Right in the bohemian heart of Coconut Grove, Miami, Mae’s Room is a small, dark, and ultra-discreet bar that has become one of the city’s best-kept nightlife secrets. What makes it stand out is its unexpected dynamic: guests walk in with takeout bags from the next-door burger joint, and suddenly find themselves pairing casual street bites with elegant, brutally cold cocktails.

The new foodie-nightlife ritual locals already claimed

Next to Mae’s Room sits Chuggie’s, famous for its irresistible scent of french fries and Cuban-style fritas. That aroma sneaks into the bar’s entrance like an informal invite to bring your food inside.

At Mae’s Room, the ritual is simple and now iconic:

  • Grab your fritas, nuggets, or fries to-go
  • Walk into the small bar right next door
  • Order an impressively cold martini
  • Enjoy your street food with serious cocktail elegance
