Biltmore Bar

This is my new favorite bar to get a drink. The vibes here are amazing! So classy and upscale I love it. We stopped here on a Saturday night after getting dinner with my in-laws. They were raving about how much they enjoyed the Biltmore Bar when they were here a few weeks prior, so we all decided to go together. Despite it being a weekend, we got a table right as we walked in. All the seats at the bar also appeared to be available, but were all taken within a half hour after we showed up.They had live music that was wonderful. It just added to the ambiance. Our server came over pretty quickly and we ordered drinks. They have a huge drink selection and I think they are well priced despite it being The Biltmore. I got the Heartbreaker martini for $18 and it was so delicious! It was light and fruity, just what I was looking for. My husband got an espresso martini that was also delish. Our server left us to hang out but periodically checked on us. I just loved everything about this place. If you're looking for a refined, chill environment to enjoy a drink, definitely come here.

Really enjoyed this bar. Great cocktails, good service, and an old school ambiance. Will definitely come back for a pre or post dinner drink when in the Gables.

I hate to say this but this is the place where staff will serve you less if you are not dressed up in executive or formal or golfing attire than those who are. I went as Maid of Honor to stay over night for my best friend's wedding. I thought we were going directly to bed or hanging out at the hotel room so as a busy mom, I went directly with leggings and a Tshirt, fresh out shower, ready for bed. Lol. My group wanted to go to the bar for a bit. I had a MOH speech to deliver and my voice was soar, near getting a cold. The waiter had given my group a not so welcoming service though they were all drinking calmly but I told the waiter if I could please have some tea. Anything else wouldn't help me for tomorrow. He literally told me he doesn't have time to serve me tea. My bestfriend got upset at that point and told him, "could you just bring us some hot water and the tea bag and she'll literally do the rest herself, man?" He left to attend other parties and a while later he brought me hot water and lemons that I didn't even touch the lemons - having worked in the restaurant business before, with that attitude and "being too busy", you question his choice of not touching the lemons with dirty hands while grabbing them. I was charged for it by the way. LolThe ambience, live singing and food are nice though, I have been back to the Biltmore twice for different events as guest but though it is the Biltmore's hang out area, I haven't wanted to come back to the area that is very vain and made me feel like less of something with not serving me. What if I was pregnant and couldn't drink and just wanted tea? I've been in that position before. Please take this as learning lesson.. Please teach your staff to not reject a person by means of what they're ordering or how they're dressed. The Biltmore isn't cheap, we all know that, but it's also a hotel and we aren't strolling there by casualty. That night I was a tired mom preparing to take on a long day for my best friend. I had priorities. My party was drinking all kinds of drinks, one had even ordered his Macallan since he works for the Macallan brand. My bestfriend is a Product Owner at one of the most pioneering companies here in South Florida, the other a Marketing Specialist and wedding planner, with her husband an engineer visiting from NYC. It's just to explain we weren't a roudy young crowd. We're all young professionals and were trying to enjoy the bar, as you can see from my "water with lemon" picture. Lol.. I'm so shook the waiter said he didn't want to serve me. It was just very condescending of an experience that I was as if "annoying" to be served that won't bring me back. I go to events at the Biltmore invited for work but when asked if I want to go to the Bar, I tell them to why I don't.

Very fancy old school bar located in one of the most iconic hotels in Coral Gables. Go back in time or imagine you are in a bar in France or Spain. It's a bit pricey but worth it for a treat every once in a while.

Arrived at the Biltmore a bit before my dinner reservation on Wednesday evening so decided to have a cocktail first at the Biltmore Bar. Just tried one of the cocktails and enjoyed some of the snacks provided to our table.QualityThe drink I had was pretty standard, nothing where I feel like I would need to recommend it for the world. They are mostly slightly updated takes on your classic drinks. They also brought out some warm mixed nuts and wasabi peas, which were definitely heavy on the wasabi.QuantityBoth my girlfriend and I ordered a drink off the cocktail menu and they were of decent size. ValueAll the drinks on the menu were pretty pricey, so I wouldn't really see this as a place for more than one drink. AmbianceThe Biltmore Bar is located in the lower level of the Biltmore Hotel, right near the restaurants. It is done in the style of Old Hollywood, which is pretty cool because you can imagine the stars of the past vacationing at this hotel. I also feel that Miami is a very modern city and even its older historical sites have an 80s vibe to them. The Biltmore though is an institution and the Biltmore Bar seems to have that classic charm built in. The bar is darker and wood, with many mirrors giving it a deceivingly large feel. The walls have portraits of former film greats and the tables all have antique chairs around them. The music was classical and jazz, and they even had a piano in the corner, probably for special occasions. Unlike so many recent bars that are attempting to have a prohibition or speakeasy style, this place feels like it doesn't need to try to be that.CrowdIt was a very old crowd, and I am not exaggerating when I say almost every bit of conversation I overheard was about someone who had recently died. We were without question the youngest people there, by quite some years too. I would not expect this to be a place that every got too lively.ServiceAlmost as soon as we sat a waitress came over with a menu and snacks. Hard to complain about quick and friendly service.ParkingUnlike so many other places across Miami, the Biltmore has a huge parking lot, so no need to worry about hunting or paying for a spot. They have valet too if you really feel the need for it.ExtraThe Biltmore Bar effortlessly provides what so many other bars attempt to create, the stylish sophistication of eras long gone. Unfortunately the drinks are a bit pricey and the crowd is mostly folks from those eras long gone. I would not be surprised if I stopped back in next time I am at the hotel, but I do not see myself going out of my way to come by.

I have been to the Biltmore Hotel many times for different events. I had never been for a drink at the Biltmore bar until yesterday. The atmosphere is refined and feels very exclusive. Some might say a little stuffy. I ordered a Cosmopolitan and really enjoyed it. The service was cordial. I felt very relaxed being there. I was able to have a quiet and concentrated conversation with the people I was with. This is a great bar if you want to have a cozy 1 on 1 conversation. It did feel a little bit musty there. Otherwise I think it is a destination bar if you are in the area.

Perfect place to eat. The food were delicious and the service is very nice. Came here to celebrate my birthday and it was the right choice. The food were not expensive and the view at the pool and at the garden were amazing!! The birthday dessert there was very tasty. I would come here again and would highly recommend this place

You can get all kinds of food and drink in this ground floor place but it has something of a hobbit house about it, dark paneling, very comfortable chairs in which you could easily fall asleep, and soft lighting even in daytime. Very relaxingCrispy fresh, old school martini, but a lot of other choices, relaxed bar, nice to talk, less noice, just very goodThe Bar has a Piano player who will do requests, makes for a great evening or just pre dinner cocktails!

The Biltmore Hotel is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at... The service is great and the food was to die for... I had all my meals there for three days and I didn't want to go anywhere else...The hotel is suppose to be haunted, but I didn't experience anything crazy... The only thing that impressed me, was the huge pool... I would go back again and again... Next time I'll stay for the brunch....

What can I say about the Biltmore Bar located inside the Biltmore hotel in Coral Gables. It is amazing! My wife and I went to celebrate a recent anniversary and we had a great night there. They had a pianist playing for most of the evening and he sounded great. There is no cover and the cocktails are amazing. This place is very classy and I highly recommend you visit.
