Find outdoor dining in Miami Beach, compare patios and rooftop bars, and check estimated sun hours before heading out. Sun estimates use the sun's position, available venue sun hours and local weather where available. Guest sun reports are separate observations, not a guarantee of sunshine at a particular table. Coverage is a selection of listed places, not every restaurant in the city. Browse free, or share a group poll to choose where to meet.
Winter sun in Miami Beach: patios & rooftops
Best time for winter sun in Miami Beach
Mild, dry winter days make Miami Beach's beach bars and oceanfront patios a classic escape from the cold north.
Find the patio that keeps the sun
Low winter sun can leave patios in building shade before sunset. Compare estimated sun hours for listed Miami Beach patios and rooftop bars using available venue hours and local weather. Guest reports are separate observations; forecasts do not guarantee a sunny table. Check today's weather and outdoor service with the venue.

Sun forecasts, with limits made clear
Compare estimated sun hours for 33 listed spots in Miami Beach. Calculations and venue-provided hours help with planning, but buildings, umbrellas and a table's position can change actual conditions.
Ratings where available
Check available Google and Sun Map guest ratings alongside venue details. Missing ratings do not imply a place has been reviewed.
Live reports from locals
Guest reports describe conditions someone observed at a venue. Where available, compare these with the forecast; a report is not a promise about your table.
2 rooftops, filtered your way
Browse available rooftop, waterfront and shade categories. Details depend on the tags and sun hours recorded for each venue.

Pick a few venues and share a free after-work poll by message, email or any chat. Friends vote without an account or app. Check drink offers, opening hours and reservations directly with the venue; the poll does not book a table.
