Red Phone Booth — Restaurant in Miami

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Masterclass in Mixology: Tony at Red Phone Booth, Miami

Step through the hidden entrance of the Red Phone Booth in Miami and prepare to be transported—not just by the speakeasy ambiance or the smooth jazz whispering through cigar smoke—but by the hands of a true alchemist: Tony.

Tony isn’t just a bartender. He’s a storyteller, a craftsman, and an artist behind the bar. Watching him work is like witnessing a live jazz solo—smooth, intuitive, and entirely unforgettable. With an encyclopedic knowledge of spirits and an instinctive feel for flavor balance, Tony crafts cocktails that are equal parts bold, nuanced, and transcendent.

Ask for the classics and he’ll deliver them with an elegance that would make Hemingway raise a glass. But where Tony really shines is in the bespoke. Tell him your mood, a favorite flavor, a memory—and he’ll distill it into a glass. One moment you’re sipping a smoky mezcal blend kissed with blood orange and thyme; the next, you’re savoring a bourbon creation so perfectly layered it could be mistaken for a symphony.

Tony’s hospitality is effortless yet intentional. He doesn’t just serve drinks—he curates experiences. He remembers your name, your palate, your story. And somehow, in the low-lit haze of leather booths and whispered secrets, he makes every guest feel like a VIP.

If you’re in Miami and serious about cocktails, Tony at Red Phone Booth isn’t optional. He’s the secret ingredient that transforms a night out into an unforgettable journey.

Pro tip: Sit at the bar, ditch the menu, and say, “Tony, surprise me.” You’ll...

I don't know where to begin, so I'll say this - if you're looking for an upscale place to smoke cigars in Brickell, look no further.

I heard about this place thru the grapevine, and decided to give it a shot. Couple things out the gate: 1) they have a dress code and 2) yes, you have to use that big red phone booth outside to enter. I haven't used a rotary phone in decades, and I'm not a member (yet.) But I was able to snag a door code from someone, and once they (finally) opened the door, it was all love.

The space is immaculate; leather chairs are everywhere and there are multiple nooks if you want a private setting. The bar is fully stocked; if they don't have it here I'd say skip it. The staff is super friendly and gave me a tour and pointed me in the direction of things to check out. The upstairs is reserved for members, but the host did me a solid and allowed me to check it out since I'm solo. Pro tip - this is the only area with TVs. So if that's your goal, hit Empire which is down the street. All I needed was a cigar, so I was good.

The humidor isn't the biggest; a tad smaller than Empire. But the staff and drink options make up for that. I snagged a Davidoff and proceeded to enjoy myself.

Highly recommend if you're...

Don’t call my cell phone. Call the phone booth! That’s the only way you’ll get into this speakeasy in Brickell Miami. @rpbbrickell is a hidden gem in a bustling city and not easy to find but once you figured it out, get ready for a good night out. It’s a chill place serving well crafted cocktails and lite bites but also has a dedicated cigar lounge for the aficionados. The cocktails we tried were very good and we loved the dark lit space. It fit the speakeasy mood. To enter, you need to literally find the Red Phone Booth and dial the number. My tip is get the code from a member or apply for a membership.
