Brickell’s getting a golden-hour glow as
@sunkissedbrickell opens its doors, blending Miami coastal cuisine, live music, and late-night energy into one immersive experience.
Founded by longtime hospitality veteran and 1st-generation Cuban-American
@itsreallydavid , Sunkissed is deeply rooted in Miami’s culture, history, and sense of place. After 15 years in the industry—including The Anderson and the nationally acclaimed Minibar—Cedeño says the concept was born from a desire to give back to the city that shaped him.
“Miami changed my life and I want to give something back to the community… and tell the story of this great city by showcasing all the beautiful things about it,” he shares. The name itself captures that intention, evoking “the perfect sunset… when the sky is orange and you know it’s going to be a good night.”
The menu, led by
@jlebron13 , is a refined yet soulful expression of Miami coastal cuisine, highlighting local seafood through Caribbean, American, Latin, and Southern influences. Standout dishes include Crab Stuffed Flounder with Curry Beurre Blanc, Swordfish Milanese with nori tartar sauce, and a decadent Lobster Toast served over lobster bisque.
The cocktail program mirrors that sense of place, with drinks inspired by Miami’s past—alongside Cedeño’s signature namesake cocktail made with papaya, Aperol, and mezcal.
Open Wednesday through Saturday, Sunkissed transitions seamlessly from dinner and live bands to a late-night lounge with DJs.
“I want people to feel at home and welcomed,” Cedeño says. “My goal is to create an impactful memory every time someone comes to Sunkissed.”

![Brickell has no shortage of shiny new openings, but @SunkissedBrickell is a bar that actually feels like Miami. Loud in the best way, full of color, layered with culture, and buzzing well past dinner hours. From the moment you walk in, the room hums. There is live music setting the tempo, art that nods to the city’s soul, and a crowd that looks ready to stay awhile. It is sun drenched energy after dark, bottled up and poured generously.At the heart of Sunkissed is @ItsReallyDavid Cedeño, the force behind Minibar. Cuban American and Miami born, Cedeño set out to create a bar that reflects the city he loves, not just visually, but emotionally. It shows. In the kitchen, he teamed up with chef Jimmy LeBron of Broken Shaker fame, and together they leaned hard into local seafood and bold flavors. This is bar food with serious ambition[link in bio for details]](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6735181750721916471552_0_7fd041c4ee2c7c38f95379e21e1b51fc.jpg?o=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&h=f945fc101ba493705abb45a7d8d5ad3a)
