Arlo Wynwood brings a playful, curated energy to Wynwood's Arts District with two elevated drinking destinations. The rooftop pool deck (ART Wynwood) features a 76-foot heated pool, resort-style cabanas with ceiling fans, sunset DJ sessions, queer pool parties, and poolside service with panoramic views over the Wynwood skyline and Miami skyline. Day passes available for non-guests ($25-$50). On the third-floor courtyard, Higher Ground is an indoor-outdoor urban park bar with a drink program by the award-winning Bar Lab Hospitality Group (the team behind Broken Shaker). Time Out Miami includes Arlo Wynwood in its curated best rooftop bars guide. Official WP REST API confirms pool hours, bar hours, day-pass pricing, cabana features including ceiling fans and shade, and the full food/drink program. This fills a key Wynwood gap in the Miami corpus.

Source confidence
official
Official source exists, community signal still worth checking.
Hours confidence
source-backed
Official WP REST API pool hours: daily 7:30am-7:30pm (sunset). Pool bar: Sun-Thu 12pm-7pm, Fri-Sat 12pm-8pm. Lucky Hour daily 4pm-7pm. Sunset Sips Mon-Fri 5pm-7pm at ART Wynwood. Evening hours end at sunset (7:30pm) — not a late-night venue.
Weather caveat
source-backed
Rooftop pool deck is open-air with cabanas offering ceiling fans and partial shade cover. Official source confirms cabanas with ceiling fans for heat mitigation and poolside food/drink service, but no permanent storm cover is documented. Higher Ground's 3rd-floor courtyard setting beneath the hotel may offer partial wind shelter. Cabanas provide a viable escape from direct sun during Miami summer afternoons, but hurricane-season closure risk remains unconfirmed.
