The Fish House

The Fish House is the only place in Miami where pirates and jazz collide. The dining room decor of this Sunset seafood spot includes a buccaneer corralling a shark, a giant gold seahorse, and more trophy fish than your Uncle Troy’s man cave. But The Fish House has a secret: an area called BackRoom, where they host live music Wednesday through Saturday. Wednesday is jazz night—our favorite. Thursday is all about the blues, and Fridays and Saturdays are a mix of local artists and DJs. BackRoom is separated from the rest of Fish House, and it feels like stepping into a nautical Mardi Gras afterparty, with purple and green beads strung on a lamppost, glass chandeliers, and dozens of giant bubbles hanging from the ceiling. There’s a $5-$7 cover charge, and it’s better to call and reserve a table than take your chances at the door. It’s a great spot to eat some shrimp and enjoy sea bass while jamming to jazz bass.
