Restaurants Near Hotel Indigo Brickell

Question

We will be staying at Hotel Indigo for 2 nights pre cruise. Looking for two restaurants within walking distance. First night will be jet lagged so pizza ideal. Any recommendations would be welcome. Can eat anything really apart from Sushi. Thanks.

Answer

Hotel Indigo Brickell is centrally located in the Brickell neighborhood, which is very walkable with plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby. For a pre-cruise stay, you’ll want easy access, good atmosphere, and satisfying food. Here are two excellent choices within a short walk, one for pizza and another for a more varied menu.

Pizza / Casual Option (first night – jet lag friendly):

Drunken Dragon Pizza & Beer Garden – About a 10–12 minute walk from Hotel Indigo. Offers a wide variety of pizza options, both classic and creative, along with local craft beers. The casual, lively atmosphere makes it perfect for a low-key first night after traveling.
Lucali Miami – Roughly 15 minutes walking. Famous for its thin-crust pizzas, fresh ingredients, and relaxed vibe. A very local favorite for pizza lovers and ideal if you want a sit-down experience without fuss.

Second Night – more variety / upscale casual:

Komodo – About 12 minutes on foot. Southeast Asian fusion with some American and comfort food options, great cocktails, and an energetic atmosphere. Not sushi-centric, so plenty of options for non-sushi eaters.
Zuma Miami – Roughly 15 minutes walk. Contemporary Japanese dining, but with lots of non-sushi options, including robata-grilled meats, salads, and appetizers. Stylish ambiance for a nicer second night.
Baby Jane Brickell – Only a 7–8 minute walk. Creative American cuisine, comfort foods, and casual environment. Large plates, good cocktails, and perfect for relaxed dining without sushi focus.

Tips:

Both pizza spots are great for early evening meals if you’re tired from travel. Lucali may require a short wait if busy, but it’s worth it.
For the second night, any of the fusion or American options listed will give you a more “special night” without being overly formal.
All options are walkable, but if you prefer to limit walking after a long flight, a short rideshare is under 5 minutes for any of these.

With these choices, you can enjoy a relaxed first night with pizza, then explore a slightly more adventurous menu on your second night, all within easy distance from Hotel Indigo Brickell.
