June 19th, 2025 – Tonight, the doors open to one of the most anticipated arrivals in Miami’s luxury nightlife scene: Presidente Bar. Revered as one of Latin America’s most influential cocktail destinations, and a former top 25 honoree on The World’s 50 Best Bars, the Buenos Aires-born bar has officially planted its flag in Wynwood—bringing with it a theatrical sense of place, cinematic design, and cocktails that transcend mixology and step squarely into art.

Housed at 146 NW 28th Street, Presidente Bar Miami blends heritage and innovation in a space where every detail has been considered—down to the hand-finished barware imported directly from Argentina. The concept is the brainchild of creative director Sebastián “Seba” García, a global tastemaker who helped catapult the original location in Recoleta to international renown. Together with the legendary flair bartender Christian Delpech, the Miami flagship signals a new chapter for the institution—one grounded in storytelling, emotion, and world-class hospitality.

A Bar That Moves Like Theater

To call Presidente a bar would be reductive. It is a full-sensory performance that moves with tempo and texture—each moment carefully composed to draw guests deeper into the narrative.

Designed with a deliberate visual rhythm, the Wynwood location layers gilded details, sculptural lighting, and immersive art to create a space that feels both transportive and tactile. A sweeping mural by Argentine artist Martín Ron anchors the space, guiding the eye across unexpected transitions and visual storytelling cues. The venue seats 160 guests (90 standing), with two distinct areas: the grand 100-seat main room and the intimate speakeasy-style sanctuary, La Biblioteca.

Inside La Biblioteca: A Hidden Story Revealed

La Biblioteca Blends Old-World Glamour With Latin Spirit

Behind velvet drapery and concealed entryways lies La Biblioteca—a seductive, double-height room that channels the spirit of grand intellectual salons with a Latin American soul. Think mirrored floors, bespoke chandeliers, towering bookshelves, and a curated backbar collection so rare it reads like an anthology of the world’s finest spirits.

This is not a space one stumbles into. La Biblioteca doesn’t reveal herself easily. But for those who find their way in, it’s an immersive cocoon of luxury—designed for reflection, discovery, and long evenings spent tasting the exceptional.

At the helm are two titans of the cocktail world: Seba García, whose design-driven storytelling has become the bar’s signature, and Sir Christian Delpech, the 19-time world flair champion and veteran of the Las Vegas scene. Together, they bring complementary energies to the program—García with poetic, ingredient-forward storytelling, Delpech with theatrical mastery and precision.

The Cocktail Menu: Latin America by the Glass

Presidente’s cocktail list reads like a journey through the continent’s terroirs and traditions.

Signature drinks include:

  • Un Beso Más – A dark, contemplative blend of Woodford Rye, Cynar, Cocchi di Torino, and Tempus Fugit Cacao.

  • Patagonia Fix – Grey Goose meets St. Germain, fresh lime, mint, and wild berries in a crisp alpine expression.

  • Mezcalicus – Earthy and floral, with Vago Mezcal Espadín, Italicus, Bitter Bianco, and Verjus Blanc.

  • Mexpresso Martini – A reinvention of the espresso martini with Patrón Reposado and Borghetti.

  • Daiquiriña – A tropical, spicy riff made with Leblon cachaça and a guajillo–chile de árbol syrup.

For those seeking depth beyond cocktails, the drink menu also includes a highly curated selection of international wines, rare sakes like Senkin Modern “Muku” Junmai Daiginjo, and select craft beers.

Dining With Drama: A Menu Meant to Match

Immersive Design Meets Cocktail Artistry at Presidente Bar in Wynwood

Executive Chef Kevin Acosta helms the kitchen, delivering a globally inspired menu that balances Argentine tradition with South Florida’s seasonal bounty. Designed to be shared, the dishes weave luxury and comfort with just enough surprise to keep things interesting.

Highlights include:

  • Kale & Spinach Fritters with smoky curry and Greek yogurt

  • Crispy Causa with octopus and huancaína

  • Wagyu Sliders with crispy onions and secret sauce

  • Porcini Ravioli in truffle mushroom sauce

  • Patagonian Pink Risotto with beet purée and red shrimp

  • 14oz Ribeye with truffle focaccia soufflé and garlic confit

The raw bar is equally considered, with dishes like Ceviche Presidente—a refined mix of yellowfin tuna and Spanish octopus—and Tiradito Sureño with hamachi, avocado, and black quinoa. To close: a modern Piña Colada Pavlova or the decadent Flanbrûlée de Dulce de Leche.

A New Landmark for Miami Nights

Presidente Bar Miami isn’t a clone of its Buenos Aires predecessor—it’s a continuation of its story. A reimagined expression of Latin elegance, now infused with the bold pulse of Wynwood. The attention to detail, from the architecture to the aperitivos, invites a new standard for elevated nightlife in the city.
