Thanks

Answer

Great question! South Beach (SoBe) has some fun spots where you can combine dinner + live music — especially Latin or jazz. Here are a few suggestions, plus things to be aware of:

Mango’s Tropical Café – This is probably your best bet in South Beach for lively Latin music: salsa, bachata, and big-show energy. There are dinner + show nights, with live band performances, dancers, and a full Latin-fusion menu. Mango’s offers a “Sip, Savor & Salsa” package with beginner salsa / bachata lessons, appetizers, mojitos, and live music. The restaurant itself is very South Beach — bright, theatrical, very tourist-friendly.
Faena Hotel — The Living Room / Saxony Bar – For a more upscale, elegant night, the Faena has live music in its “Living Room” (nightly) and more late-night performances in its Saxony Bar. The vibe here leans more sophisticated — you can dine, sip cocktails, and enjoy jazz or lounge-style sets.

A Few Caveats

Some of the classic “jazz supper clubs” in South Beach (like Van Dyke Café) have closed or changed over time. That means the live jazz restaurant scene in SoBe is more limited than in past decades.
Jazid — which used to be a go-to for live jazz, Latin fusion, and funk — has also permanently closed.
Because things change quickly (especially in Miami nightlife), it's a good idea to call ahead or check the venue’s schedule for live music on your night. Some nights are more “show + dinner,” others might just be DJ or lighter music.

Bottom Line

If you want a festive, Latin-music-and-dance night for your final evening — Mango’s Tropical Café is your top pick. If you prefer a more refined, lounge-jazz evening, the Faena’s Living Room or Saxony Bar would be a lovely choice.
