New Offerings Feature Cocktails Inspired by the Lounge and Bar’s Vibrant Outdoor Ambiance
The Deck at Island Gardens, Miami’s premier waterfront lounge and bar, has announced a new cocktail menu inspired by its lush outdoor ambiance and the venue’s reputation being in a bustling mega-yacht marina destination. Carefully crafted by the restaurant’s mixologists, the new cocktail menu boasts exciting and delicious new flavors that transport guests to yachting destinations around the globe with every sip. Just in time for spring, the new cocktails ($19 each) are created with fresh, tropical ingredients with floral notes to mimic the season.

So come and enjoy breathtaking Miami skyline views from our bar while sipping on a craft cocktail that captures the essence of waterfront dining and lifestyle – all amongst the most beautiful yachts in Miami!”
