What to tip in Miami
| Service | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sit-down restaurants | 18–20% | CHECK YOUR BILL: Many Miami restaurants auto-add 18–20% gratuity. Look for “service charge” or “gratuity” on the receipt. |
| Bars & nightclubs | $2–3 per drink | Miami’s nightlife is premium-priced. Tip $2–3 for cocktails, $1–2 for beers. |
| Taxis & rideshare | 15–20% | Uber/Lyft is widely used. Miami taxis can be expensive due to traffic. |
| Hotel housekeeping | $3–5/night | Miami Beach hotels often have high nightly rates; housekeeping tips are still expected. |
| Beach services | $5–10 | If someone sets up chairs/umbrellas for you on the beach, tip $5–10. |
| Food trucks & Cuban cafes | Not required | Ventanitas (walk-up coffee windows) don’t expect tips. Tip jar: $1 is nice. |
| Stadium food & drinks | Not required | Hard Rock Stadium concessions do not require tips. |
