Pioneering Wynwood hospitality and entertainment powerhouse, R House, is currently celebrating its 10 years in business with freshly revamped dinner and cocktail menus, a fully remodeled look from the inside out, and elevated production facilities for premier entertainment. Now, always looking forward and seeking ways to keep things fresh, R House has rolled out a new zero-proof beverage program and chef’s tasting experiences.

Of course, the restaurant is most popularly known for its famous weekly drag brunches, where bottomless mimosas and sangria are avidly consumed by carefree revelers week after week. Following the surge in the zero-alcohol market in the food and beverage industry, R House is introducing not only a zero-proof craft cocktails menu throughout the week but also exciting new bottomless zero-alcohol mimosa and mocktail brunch packages and bottle service options at Drag Brunch. The package will cost $60 per person and will include the fabulous R House drag show extravaganza, one of R House’s ever-popular set food menus, and bottomless zero-proof cocktails that will not disappoint. This initiative prioritizes inclusivity, ensuring everyone – whether sober, pregnant, between the ages of 18 and 20, or simply the designated driver – can enjoy the vibrant R House party experience alongside those who drink alcohol.

The zero-proof cocktail menu consists of non-alcoholic spins on classic creations. The margarita selection includes the refreshing Blanco Margarita (a la carte price $14), made with Almave Blanco, fresh lime, agave nectar, and orange bitters and the Smoky Mango Margarita (a la carte price $14), which consists of Little Saints St Ember, palo santo, ginger, cardamom, lion’s mane mushroom, lime, mango, and bee pollen; blending smoky and fruity notes with a touch of earthy undertones this is truly a transportive, distinctive drink. For a sophisticated take on the Negroni, the No-Groni (a la carte price $15) is a perfect option, featuring Bare Vodka, Martini & Rossi Vibrante, and Martini & Rossi Floreale – balancing bitterness and botanical flavors to perfection.

The Pathfinder Old Fashioned (a la carte price $16) offers a robust and aromatic interpretation of the classic cocktail, with Pathfinder Hemp & Root Spirit, brown sugar, aromatic bitters, and orange peel delivering depth and warmth in every sip. Sober guests seeking to celebrate birthdays and big milestones were previously excluded from bottle service parades, and can now participate in the festivities with all the spectacle and flair they deserve. R House’s zero-alcohol spirits bottle service options are complete with a full staff parade and sparklers. Zero-proof spirits available for bottle service include Almave Blanco and Ambar Tequila ($180 per bottle), Little Saints St Ember Lion’s Mane ($170 per bottle), Bare Rum Blanco and Gin ($160 per bottle), and Pathfinder Hemp & Root Spirit ($205 per bottle).

“The exponential growth of the sober and sober curious movement is creating a real demand for non-alcoholic beverages even in Miami, a city known for its nightlife and parties. We have noticed a big shift in demand, in particular at our bottomless drag brunches,” states co-owner Owen Bale. “At R House, inclusivity is a priority and we realized there was an audience we were not catering to. We are proud to now offer a vast variety of zero-alcohol spirits and zero-proof cocktails that allow guests to be part of the R House party without being just your average overpriced juice on ice.”

Chef/co-owner Rocco Carulli has always described his Latin-inspired menu as “his love letter to Miami” — reflecting the vivacious flavors of the 305. Chef Rocco has curated three different tasting menus, now available for everyone’s dining pleasure.  

• Option #1 ($60 per person++) includes all of the following starters: Coffee-Braised Short Rib Arepas with pico de gallo, crispy onions, and cilantro crema; Lobster Croquetas; and Empanadas filled with spinach, kale, and Spanish goat cheese. Followed by the second course, entree options include the Brazilian Roasted Chicken with spicy coconut sauce or the Carne Asada served with red tomatillo sauce, chimichurri, and molho à campanha. Either entree is served with a side of Maduros and Roasted Chipotle Cauliflower with chimichurri and the experience wraps up with a Chef’s Dessert Selection.

• Option #2 ($75 per person++) offers everything in Option #1 with the addition of both entrees.

• Option #3 ($95 per person++) includes the previously mentioned starters – Coffee-braised Short Rib Arepas, Lobster Croquetas, and Empanadas. The second course includes the option of either Tuna Tartare with tostada chips, avocado, jalapeño crema, and sweet chili or Shrimp Al Ajillo - sizzling garlic shrimp with chili oil, lemon, and parsley. Main entrees featured include Brazilian Roasted Chicken and Carne Asada served with Maduros, Roasted Chipotle Cauliflower, and Chimichurri Fingerling Potatoes. For dessert, a Chef’s Dessert Selection.

Beverage pairings are also available and perfectly complement the tasting menus. The Classic Beverage Pairing ($45 per person++) features a choice of Mojito Coqueto (Bacardi Superior and Haven Coconut Rum, coconut water, freshly squeezed lime, and mint, all topped with toasted coconut or the El Sancho Margarita (Don Fulano Blanco Tequila and El Silencio Mezcal with torched pineapple, Thai chili, and a hint of freshly grated cinnamon) followed by a glass of house-selected  Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Cocktail Pairing ($45 per person++) is a rotating cocktail experience featuring R House award-winning cocktails such as the Mojito Coqueto, El Sancho Margarita, and the Bourbon Berry (Old Forester Bourbon with a burst of blueberry boba pearls, accompanied by fresh strawberries, blackberries, and a squeeze of lemon). The same pairing must be selected for the whole table. Alternative pairings and bottle service options are available.
