Miami doesn't need much of an excuse to turn the volume up, but World Cup 2026 is giving her a very good reason. With seven matches scheduled at Miami Stadium in Miami Gardens — including a quarter-final and the bronze medal match — the city is officially the place to be this summer. And if you're staying with us at Clinton Hotel South Beach, you're already perfectly positioned: right on Washington Avenue, steps from the sand, and surrounded by some of the most exciting dining on the island.
Between the pre-game rituals, the post-match replays, and the nights that refuse to end, here's where to eat and drink during the most electric summer South Beach has ever seen.
Limonada Bar + Brunch — The One Right Next Door
Limonada is literally next to us, no Uber needed, no planning required. This all-day brunch spot and sports bar is built for exactly this kind of summer: big screens, cold drinks, American and Mexican comfort food, daily happy hour, live DJs, and drinking games that somehow make a match even more fun to watch. Come down in your jersey, grab a table and let the day unfold.

Bella — Southern Italian Soul on 21st Street
A few blocks north, tucked inside the reimagined Liberty Park Hotel, Bella is Chef Eyal Shani's first Italian concept, and it's already one of the most talked-about restaurants in Miami Beach. Think handmade pasta with genuine intention, vibrant vegetable dishes, Mediterranean-inspired seafood, and a sun-drenched courtyard draped in bougainvillea that makes every dinner feel like a special occasion. It's the kind of place you go when the match was extraordinary and you want the meal to match the moment.
Serena Rooftop — Mexican Flavors Above the South Beach Skyline
Perched atop Moxy South Beach just a short walk from Clinton, Serena brings the spirit of Oaxaca and Mexico City up to the rooftop. Handmade masa tortillas, vibrant tostadas, Latin-inspired cocktails, and sunset views that are frankly unfair to the rest of Miami. Whether you're toasting a win or processing a loss, there's no better place to do it than under open sky with a mezcal in hand.

The Drexel — Wood-Fired Coastal Italian on Española Way
A short ride from Washington Avenue, The Drexel sits on the charming stretch of Española Way and serves Coastal Italian cooking that earns every compliment it gets. The menu is built around fire and season: padellinos with whipped ricotta and truffle honey, hand-rolled pastas, grilled fish, and a charcoal-roasted prime ribeye worth planning your evening around. The cocktail list is equally serious. Order the Caviar Martini and you'll understand why the room always stays full. Perfect for an unhurried dinner when the match adrenaline finally starts to settle.

Orange Blossom — An All-Day Escape on Washington Avenue
Also just steps from the hotel, Orange Blossom brings a warm, all-day energy to Washington Avenue with a menu that moves comfortably from morning through night. Approachable, thoughtfully prepared, and grounded in seasonal ingredients, it's the kind of neighborhood spot that feels effortless on a slow match-day morning or a lazy afternoon between games. Ideal for those moments when simplicity and quality go hand in hand.
Stay for the Matches, Live for the Moments After
World Cup 2026 in Miami is one of those summers you'll talk about for years, and the meals in between the matches are part of the story too. The long table, the shared plate, the cocktail that becomes three, the strangers who become friends over a last-minute goal. At Clinton Hotel South Beach, you're already at the center of it all. Book your stay, come hungry, and let South Beach take care of the rest.
