Watr at the 1 Rooftop, Rooftop bar and Japanese restaurant in Miami Beach, United States.
Watr at the 1 Rooftop is a rooftop bar and Japanese restaurant on the 18th floor in Miami Beach with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The menu features sushi rolls, charred octopus, and inventive cocktails served in an open-air setting overlooking the water.
The restaurant opened as part of the 1 Hotel South Beach development, which transformed a section of Collins Avenue into a luxury oceanfront retreat. This development established itself through a commitment to sustainable and eco-conscious hospitality practices.
The name Watr references water and the ocean setting just beyond the terrace. The menu blends Japanese culinary heritage with Peruvian influences, and the drink selection showcases regional spirits and sake alongside cocktails that draw inspiration from tropical fruits grown nearby.
The space is open to the sky, so weather conditions can change throughout the evening and appropriate layering helps with comfort. Making a reservation in advance is wise, especially for weekend evenings, to ensure you can get a table at your preferred time.
Chef Richard Bernaola rotates the menu regularly to work with fresh seasonal ingredients, meaning visitors discover something different each time they return. This approach lets him combine the best local produce with imported Japanese specialties throughout the year.
