Louie’s at Palm House
Included In
Take a walk down the Miami Beach boardwalk—all the way from 1st Street to Haulover Inlet—and you’ll see plenty of bars and restaurants. But 99.9% of them exist exclusively for tourists who don’t know any better. That’s why Louie’s, a tiki hut situation in the back of a Mid-Beach hotel, is so valuable. This Cuban concept is one of the only local-friendly options a mere 15 yards from the sand.

The window of opportunity to grab a delicious sandwich from Louie’s is small. On paper, which is to say Instagram, they’re open Fridays from 6-11pm, and Saturday through Sunday starting at noon. But they also close a lot for private events. So double-check their Instagram before you decide to come here.
The menu is mostly things between bread. They make a very meaty cuban sandwich that’s one of Miami’s best, and creamy shrimp croquetas worth ordering. There’s a full bar, too. This is a great place to take a little break from walking down the boardwalk, or just to remind yourself the beach isn’t only for tourists.
