Bonsai Bar @ 107 Steak & Bar carves two hours out of a weekend to teach you the gentle precision of bonsai in the lively setting of Element Miami Doral Hotel at 3285 NW 107th Ave, Doral, FL. The class runs in a working steakhouse where the scent of grilled steak and citrus cocktails hums behind a row of communal tables spread with soil bins, shears, and glazed ceramic pots. For travelers who want something hands-on in an urban Florida afternoon, this is a rare blend of craft and nightlife.
The workshop centers on picking a tree—often a South Florida–adaptable species such as ficus—learning pruning, wiring basics, and planting in a compact ceramic vessel you take home. Instructors provide tools: a soil bin, shears, and a chopstick for fine work, and the ticket includes two hours of guided instruction plus long-term support through the Tree-iage program. The format is beginner-friendly: no prior experience required, and classes are ticketed per person so each student completes their own tree.
What makes Bonsai Bar stand out in Doral is where it happens. Set inside 107 Steak and Bar at the Element Miami Doral Hotel, the event pairs craft horticulture with approachable dining; you can arrive early, order a meal, and return to your table to shape roots and foliage. It’s a social workshop that fits Florida’s indoor-outdoor culture—light from large windows, fans humming, palms and hotel landscaping visible beyond the glass. The scene feels urban and intimate rather than museum-quiet, making it a great evening option for couples, friends, or visitors staying nearby.
Expect a two-hour session that moves at a measured pace: check-in, tree pick, pot selection, demonstration, hands-on styling, and a wrap-up on aftercare. Practical takeaways include basic pruning techniques, potting mixes for humid climates, and weekly care routines tailored to South Florida light. Bring a camera for close-up shots of root work and pot detail, and plan to arrive 15 minutes early to get checked in and choose your tree.
Bonsai Bar’s mix of hospitality and horticulture gives visitors a tactile souvenir that grows with them—an entry point into a centuries-old craft adapted to modern city life. Whether you’re staying in Doral for business or passing through Miami, this two-hour workshop is a refreshing pause that leaves you with a living memento and a new skill.
