Watr at the 1 Rooftop

Watr at the 1 Rooftop sits on the eighteenth floor of 1 Hotel South Beach at 2341 Collins Avenue, and is the hotel's rooftop bar and restaurant, facing the Atlantic. The city's tourism bureau describes the property as a sustainability-inspired spot and treats it as the place to go in South Beach for a spirit-free drink. Opening hours are the practical detail worth knowing: 11am to midnight Sunday through Wednesday, to 1am on Thursday, and to 2am on Friday and Saturday, so the room stays usable long after the beach empties.

The alcohol-free drink documented here is the Sunburnt on South Beach, which mixes coconut water with mango, lime and mint and lengthens it with Fever-Tree ginger beer. It is a long drink rather than a stirred one, and the ginger beer gives it enough bite to hold up against the food. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, the city's official tourism body, lists the drink in its rooftop section and describes it as a light, tropical option that pairs with ocean breezes and sunset views, adding that the bureau considers the hotel the place to go in South Beach for a spirit-free drink. Only one named alcohol-free build is published, which is why this entry is graded as a real but modest programme rather than a serious one. AVIV, the Israeli restaurant from Michael Solomonov and Steve Cook, operates in the same building at street level and is listed separately. One practical note for a first visit: the bar is on the eighteenth floor of the hotel, so access is through the building rather than directly from Collins Avenue, and the hours below are the rooftop's own rather than the hotel's. The hotel switchboard is (305) 604-1000 and the venue posts as @watr.southbeach. Business status, hours and the drink specification were all re-checked on 2026-08-12: Google Places for the first two, and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau's own mocktail guide for the drink, which is the source quoted above.
