The Sylvester is a Midtown Miami cocktail bar opened in April 2019 by Florida natives Ben Potts and Brian Nasajon, the duo behind Beaker & Gray. Set in the former Bardot space at 3456 N Miami Ave, it pairs vintage Miami décor — colorful retro wallpaper and repurposed antique furniture — with a craft cocktail program built on locally sourced ingredients, reopening in 2021 with a refreshed Florida-themed menu. Its alcohol-free offerings live in a dedicated menu section headed "No Hangovers," featuring built-to-order zero-proof cocktails alongside Heineken 0.0. Current named NA drinks include the Dama Verde (Aplos Ease, Ritual Zero Proof Gin, honeydew, matcha, clarified), the Venetian Pathway (Pathfinder Hemp & Root, raspberry cordial, soda), and the Sex Panther V.26 (Seedlip Grove, vanilla, passion fruit, mint). DJs play Thursday through Saturday.

“The Sylvester gets it: Sometimes you just want a good drink without the aftermath. Their "No Hangovers" section makes it clear that mocktails are welcome here.”— Geoffrey Anderson, Dish MiamiDish Miami, 2025 →
