01Introduction
Miami has few bars where rock is the music on an ordinary night. Churchill's Pub in Little Haiti and Las Rosas in Allapattah are the two this guide lists as rock bars. The other five places are concert venues: they book rock, punk and metal shows among other music, so pick a specific show before going.
This guide covers 7 places across Miami and nearby Miami-Dade communities. Miami Beach is labelled in its own right, rather than described as a neighbourhood of the City of Miami. Each entry points to the official programme or the organiser's event listing. The former Gramps location in Wynwood is separated into history.

02Rock Bars: Little Haiti and Allapattah
Churchill's Pub
5501 NE 2nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33137 · Little Haiti
Churchill's Pub, established in 1979, describes itself as a dive bar and live music venue. It opens daily at 11:30am and stays open until 3am Monday to Thursday and 5am Friday to Sunday. Its programme has rock, punk and metal bands as well as indie rock, experimental music and open-mic events.
The official site links to ticketed shows; in late October 2026 these included punk and metal bills such as A Wilhelm Scream, Torche and Ho99o9. Other dates cover comedy, films and different kinds of music, so choose the individual show rather than assuming the entire week follows one style.
Programme and music information; official venue page.
Las Rosas
2898 NW 7th Avenue, Miami, FL 33127 · Allapattah
Las Rosas is a bar and live venue with alternative rock and heavier concert bills. Its current listings matter more than older accounts of its closure: the bar returned, and its 2026 programme again gave rock listeners a reason to visit Allapattah. Follow the venue's official social account and the named promoter's ticket page for the specific show.
The 10 October 2026 Limited Fanfare anniversary bill listed Palomino Blond, Smelter, Sunday Driver, Heavy Drag and The Personal Demons. A September bill brought together Eyehategod, Whores. and No/Más. These examples show the range from alternative guitar bands to heavier music without implying that every night is a metal night. Its own shows page was empty in late October, so check the social account for new dates.
03Concert Venues: Clubs, Theaters and a Brewery
These places host rock gigs but are not rock bars. Rock is one part of a wider programme, so check each one's listings and choose a show before going.
ZeyZey
353 NE 61st Street, Miami, FL · Little Haiti
ZeyZey is a multi-genre live club. Its calendar puts indie gigs, such as Peter Bjorn and John and Puma Blue, beside salsa, perreo, house, K-pop and hip-hop nights. Choose a live act from the calendar rather than turning up on a weekend night.

04History: Gramps in Wynwood Is Closed
Gramps (Wynwood)
Former address: 176 NW 24th Street, Miami
Gramps was a bar and live music venue in Wynwood; this location closed in January 2026. It is included here as history, not as somewhere to visit for a current show. Miami New Times reported the owner's closure announcement, and Axios subsequently confirmed the venue had closed. Older live-music guides that still direct you to this address should not be used as evidence of present operation.

05Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I look for punk or metal in Miami?
Start with Churchill's Pub and Las Rosas, the two rock bars in this guide. For touring punk and hardcore bands, check the ticketed shows at Lincoln's Beard. These recommendations refer to named programmes; they do not mean every event at these venues is punk or metal.
Are there rock options in Miami Beach?
Not a rock bar. The Fillmore and Miami Beach Bandshell include occasional rock acts in larger concert programmes. The Fillmore is in South Beach and the Bandshell is in North Beach. Use the linked event information and full address to choose between them.
Are all 7 places rock bars?
No. Churchill's Pub and Las Rosas are the rock bars. The other five are concert venues listed in their own section: a live club, a tribute-show venue, a theater, an open-air stage and a brewery. For those, use a live-act listing and check whether the music is performed by bands or played by DJs.
