The Most Delectable Lounges in Miami

Randy's Restaurant and Lounge

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (35) • $

"Some of the best Haitian food I've ever had. Every time I visit Miami, I have to stop here. 10/10 Great service."

The Bar & Courtyard

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16) • $$$$

"Amazing cocktails. Beautiful view. Much less colder than the actual restaurant, and plenty of lighting. There are a variety of ages seen at this place, and the bartenders really know what they are doing. Tip: AVOID COMING HERE ON VALENTINE's DAY. Did just that, and service is much better, less crowded, and environment is less cliche."

No 3 Social

★★★★☆ 3.7 (363) • $$

"Came here on a Friday evening with a group of friends. This spot was still known as No. 3 Social a month ago. Considered a rooftop bar, although it was only about three stories high. Still very spacious and open. If you're looking for a chill and calmer scene, this is the spot. It is not crowded and the bartenders are accessible with minimal wait. Drinks are pretty solid.Check in on Yelp for 10% off on your bill!"

Saxony Bar

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (17)

"I had a blast here when I came with a group of friends a few weeks ago. The vibes are just 10/10. Great music, good drinks (a bit overpriced priced but it's in the Faena so what do you expect), and it has truly mastered the whole speakeasy vibe.Great for a girls night, or even a date night -- the spot is super intimate and cozy. I'd come back here 100%."

Gala Miami

★★★☆☆ 3 (6)

"Great vibes with an amazing DJ. Drinks were good and the men were hot!! The table service was always making sure you had drinks were having fun!"

Tea Room

★★★★☆ 3.8 (62)

"I absolutely love this place! I make sure to take all my friends here when they are in town or looking for a nice view of brickell. The atmosphere is lavish and definitely upscale. This is definitely a place you spot by for one or two cocktails to enjoy a nice view. They also play live music during the weekend so it justifies the cost. I have tried the food there once and absolutely loved it but can be costly. Put this on your bucket list. Ps: the tea room is more of a speakeasy and you'll need a reso to get in during the weekends. Definitely come during a weekday to have access to it without making a reso."

Zucca

★★★★☆ 4.2 (495) • $$$

"This is an elegant Italian restaurant located inside the renovated St Michael hotel in Coral Gables. The building is very pretty and historical. Inside, the restaurant the decor is classic and timeless. The service was impeccable. I tried their Miami spice lunch - APPETIZER - Tempura Prawn served over a black lentil salad, with burrata cream and crispy "Guanciale". This was a wonderful start to my meal. The huge prawn was very fresh, and the tempura batter was very light and crisp. MAIN - Sliced beef tenderloins with crispy polenta, parmigiano fondue and a black truffle sauce. Another marvelous dish, I especially adored their sauce.DESSERT - Homemade Italian Limoncello Tiramisu. To finish I tried their twist on a tiramisu, which was very light and a lemon flavour.All in all, this was a delightful visit, and I recommend."

MO Bar + Lounge

★★★★★ 4.6 (107) • $$

"First time at MO bar and lounge. They had a nice jazz band as advertised on a Saturday with classy indoor seating. Great service by Pamela and her supporting staff. Well made drinks and beer menu. I enjoyed their sushi rolls; very high quality and fresh sea food. Looking around I saw people equally dressed up and dressed a little casual, but I'd say perhaps they're going for a classier vibe. As it's a hotel, there is an eclectic crowd. Singles, families with kids, and couples old and young. Seemed like all were equally enjoying all the same with no awkwardness. I'd return and recommend."

LIV Nightclub

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (961) • $$$$

Spanglish Craft Cocktail Bar & Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (383) • $$

"All the happy hour drinks tasted the same, I wasn't a fan of any of them. I'd recommend just ordering a regular drink off the menu. The ceviche was delicious I loved it with the sweet potato crisps and it's a good portion for happy hour. I really didn't need anything else to snack on. This is a cool swanky place in midtown, I'd recommend if you want a more intimate setting."

Blue Martini

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (487)

"We came here on a whim for pre-dinner drinks waiting for our reservation and were not disappointed! The live music was really great. A live band playing everything from r&b to rock. Super fun!The drinks were strong and we were able to get a table pretty quickly. We ordered class cocktails like bulleit old fashioned and they have other fun cocktails as well to choose from. The jalepeno passion fruit was also tasty. There are lots of reserved tables for the booth area where you can go bottle service, but there are other areas to sit as well."

JOEY Aventura

★★★★☆ 4.4 (287)

"I was disappointed by my latest visit to Joey. While the food was still really good, the portions have gotten smaller. I ordered the Chilean sea bass and for $49, I could barely even distinguish the tiny piece of fish from the vegetables. Even the vegetables were lacking. I left hungry. To add insult to injury, my friend and I were celebrating both our birthdays, with mine being the most recent. I am the one who made the reservation, I am the one who indicated birthday on the reservation, I am the one who ordered the dessert and I am the one who told the waitress we were celebrating birthdays plural. She brings the dessert with happy birthday written and plops it down right in front of my friend. Mind you this was a shared dessert and she should have asked (not assumed) who was celebrating the birthday or put it in the center at least. What a slap on the face and way to go for making me feel completely left out on my own birthday."

Queen Miami Beach

★★★★☆ 3.7 (181) • $$$$

"I recently dined at Queen and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance and decor were top notch, creating a perfect setting for a special evening. The service was impeccable, attentive without being intrusive.The food truly stood out. The ribeye was excellent, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. However, the smoked potatoes nearly stole the show with their unique smokiness and amazing flavor. They were a delightful surprise and a must-try. The lobster was also succulent and fantastic, rounding out a memorable meal.While Queen is on the pricey side, with our meal for two coming in around $300, it was worth every penny. I highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning."

WunderBar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (44) • $$

"Great rum drinks! Nice ambiance! Bar tenders try to make you have fun!I love this spot It's my oasis in SoBe!! Come in! Grab a drink! Support local"

Bar Central

★★★★☆ 4.2 (31) • $$$

"Poolside bar at SLS Hotel on Miami Beach. Lounge and table seating was pretty busy in the heat of the day. No one was in or poolside but many were eating and drinking outdoors in swimwear. In the hotel lobby we received complimentary frozen Caipirinha's the Brazilian classic with Cachaca, fresh lime, sugar. Jose Andres' prepares meals and snacks poolside here. It's hot in June, it was nicer in the beautiful air-conditioned restaurant."

Delilah

★★★★☆ 3.8 (86)

"Wow!! Truly surprised this is not at least a four to five on Yelp. I came in on a Tuesday and was blown away. Delilah is a little tucked away, almost with a speakeasy type door, and those who know, know. A well dressed doorman opens the door and you're greeted with a friendly host that sends you up. Just walking down the corridor and up the stairs, you can already feel this place will be nice. True enough, you enter an extremely elegant, loungey 1920s type of vibe with a beautiful bar backdrop. Many of the seats are cozy couches and we were setup with one of the best in the house! Moody lighting. A great place to dress up and enjoy the surroundings. The cherry on top was a talented singer, Nicole, and jazz band that were outstanding. The music matched the theme, it really all came together. As per the food, I thought they had a great miami spice menu. The ceviche came with a nice presentation and flavors, the chicken tenders with fun dips, my scallop main was cooked and seasoned perfectly and ended with a refreshing sorbet selection. Even the side asparagus was really juicy and with a lot of flavor!Drinks were well crafted with a great wine menu. This is an easy revisit and recommend, even in off miami spice season. I think with the vibe, ambiance, food, superb service, etc. it's totally worth the upgraded price. Hope you check it out and enjoy! Just a heads up, $25 valet. No validation."

Bolivar Restaurant Bar Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (2597) • $$

"Great divey restaurant. Doubles as a club at night. I can particularly recommend the Colombian chorizo that comes with the Bandeja Paisa, which also included an excellent skirt steak. Also recommended is the Arepa de maiz blanco with marinated chicken. Had it all with Cervesa Aguila which is an excellent beer."

Mynt Lounge

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (162)

Savage Labs

★★★★★ 4.7 (22)

"First time here. Greeted by an exceptionally friendly and qualified host (far better than most I come across). She walked us in, explained the concept warmly, and offered to help with seating or the menu. A true all star. Keep her! Wish had her name to share. Tables were a bit cramped, but they make the best of the space. Nicely mixed drinks. Beautiful live acts, a lot of talent, all in what feels like a very homey environment. I'd return and recommend! I've vibe, decor, as well as eclectic crowd."

Crab Du Jour - Miami

★★★★☆ 3.5 (128) • $$

Bay Club

★★★★☆ 4 (59) • $$

"Great karaoke spot. The social distancing was a bit off considering there was a lot of back and forth to request songs and perform but other than that, it is a fun location. Good craft cocktails, the service was a bit slow given the number of ppl."

Santé Cocktail Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.3 (36) • $$

"My fave place to visit when I want to stay inside doral. The drinks and food are good. I like going up the stairs into the DJ room when I want to just vibe with my friends."

Dante's HiFi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (128)

"I'm always seeking out new types of bars and Dante's Hifi really hit their mark by combining great music with great drinks.I'm glad my friend and I made a reservation because there were lots of people standing and vibing to the music without space to sit. My friend and I were in a corner on the sofa vibing and dancing without the pressure of being in the middle of the action. We were also able to move to the front and watch the DJ work the mixing boards and also soak in the beautiful wall of vinyls posing as a backdrop for the bar. The music was a mix of oldies like Stevie Wonder and ambient instrumental house music. It was a chill and wholesome vibe.The service was friendly and our waitress checked in frequently to see if we wanted more drinks throughout the night. We ordered a total of three drinks: Freddie Freeloader, Strange Fruit, and Electric Feel. I liked the Freddie Freeloader and Strange Fruit over the Electric Feel (I've had better Mezcal and Prickly Pear mixes). For the price, vibe, and service, Dante's is a gem in Miami's saturated bar scene. If you're gonna spend almost $20 dollars on a cocktail, it better be worth it. Dante's is definitely worth it."

Viva Brazil Signature

★★★★☆ 3.6 (113)

Bar Collins at Loews Miami

★★★★☆ 4 (88) • $$

Lique Miami

★★★★☆ 3.5 (450)

Grails Miami - Restaurant & Sports Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (632) • $$

"Fun to watch the Olympic games! The wings were good and our server was knowledgeable and friendly! Lots of TVs and they had a ton of enthusiasm to hype the event. Would definitely come for all sporting event with 2-4 friends"

Victory Restaurant & Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.7 (397) • $$$

"My boyfriend and I came here from out of town. I made our reservation through open table a week early. Table reservations are supposed to be 90 min if you're a party of two but they let us stay a little longer because it wasn't super busy. Our goal was to get mimosa drunk and vibe to some good music. And we did just that lol We got bottomless mimosas $40 per person. The champagne kept coming. The brunch menu doesn't have a lot of options but I would say it's as many choices as a typical brunch menu and the food was really good! We got French toast, eggs, tater tots, and catfish + grits. The tater tots were our fave. Everything was very tasty. The DJ was a little vibeeeee. He had a really good mix and my boyfriend and I (who have very different taste in music lol) really enjoyed every single song. We were very lit. It's November so I'm assuming most people there were local because nobody was really that hype with us. So if it's not "tourist" season be ready to bring your own "turn up" like we did lol Of course every brunch place is decked out in flowers. The best place to take pics is on the flower wall right outside. Really great staff and overall a wonderful time. 100% recommend coming here."

Blade

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (118) • $$$

"Came here for a lunch on a whim. They do not take reservations purely Walkens. And for lunch apparently blade is combined with the other restaurant Vida. You are allowed to order from either menu as two separate kitchens will make the dishes and will be served to you at your table.The best part about this meal was our waiter, named Belford. He was absolutely honest and incredibly funny. His hospitality and service is really setting the bar high for us not only for this restaurant, but also future meals as well as the hotel property overall. Everything we ordered was super fresh and tasty, as well as hot. No complaints whatsoever from me. The best part had to be the desert as it was super creative and it's a great infusion of multiple Asian classic flavors. Please note the pictures of the flower or lotus, and the entire thing was edible.Note that for all of the Miami beach hotels, there is a service charge of 20% already included in your bill. If you choose to add additional gratuity you can. If I am ever back here in Miami, I would definitely stop here again. The freshness of the seafood and sushi alone make it a viable competitor even to its neighbors."

Bar Kaiju

★★★★★ 4.9 (40)

"Okay so you know I love speakeasies. I was unprepared to experience one just 5 minutes from my airbnb! My friend and I took a break from Carnival life to experience something unique... and slightly nerdy. We drove to The Citadel food hall's parking lot, and no spoilers, but I saw the speakeasy entrance almost immediately, not even knowing what I was looking for. You'll know it when you see it :). It was a red color with lots of cool kaiju stuff, and you could overlook the entire food hall (and see and hear the DJ crankin'). The bar had space, since we got there not long after 7:00 -- that's when they open!I had two very unique cocktails. My first one was the Sinsimito AKA "The Savage", which had Patron, Tepache, Amaro and spiced corn foam. Let me tell you -- that corn foam was DELICIOUS!!! The second one was definitely dessert -- it had mini french toast crunch cereal pieces on top of the ice, and there was biscotti-flavored liqueur in it, among other things. It was called the Taotie. It was deeeeeeeliicious!! On top of the taste, I loved how passionately the bartenders talked about the cocktails and the ingredients that went into each one after they provided them. The overall vibe was great, and I cannot wait to return this place when I'm in Miami again."

Hyde Beach

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (183) • $$$

Living Room at the W

★★★★☆ 3.8 (54)

"Incredibly relaxing and fun all wrapped into one. Managers, servers and guests all felt like family within minutes. They had a great menu, great drinks and of course a dj. For a little spot at the W, they hit the mark for whatever your vibe is."

Wilde on the Porch

★★★★☆ 3.8 (128)

"Great vibe and feel to this place!We came here looking for a quick bite to eat and so glad we stumbled on this place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Not to mention.....the food was on point. Honorable mention goes out to the lemon pepper and honey hot wings. Also, the ribeye was cooked to perfection.If you're looking for a late night spot, off the typical South Beach Stroll.....this is it! The menu has a great selection of food, mixed drinks and lots of hookah options. Wilde on the Porch was the first place we chose on a whim and was a great choice. For a large group of 8 famished patrons, starving in the we hours of the night.....Wilde on the Porch fit the bill. When back in Miami we will definitely be back. Thank you from a very full couple."

Wet Willie's

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1172) • $$

"Our waitress Sarah was the best! She asked us do we like strong, sweet or in between and gave some samples on a few recommendations. She spoke with a feeling that made me feel at home so I asked her is she from NY and but of course she was and we had a time a good time that is! I ordered the fish and French fries which came with a side of coleslaw and tarter sauce with a twist, it was so good and I had some left over the next day and after warming it up it was still crunchy and good. Most food after being refrigerated and reheated doesn't keep the consistency of the flavor or texture. The coleslaw was good too. The spinach and artichoke dip was good and had a spicy kick to it. The mozzarella balls were good but nothing to brag about. Wet Willie's is has a beach come as you are type of vibe, with your ID of course. This is not the place to come dressed fancy, treat this like a beach Applebees attire lol. I've been coming here since I was 21 and I've seen it at its highlights when there's a crowd waiting to get in but I don't remember the food being good like it is now. I'm glad to know this place is still standing after all these years and especially after Covid."

SAAM at SLS Brickell

★★★★☆ 3.8 (18)

"Presidential..number 1600!This was supposed to be an Elite event - the best part of Yelp and not just because of the food. Those are the fun evenings where people here my legend of the Miami Lakes Cowfield, we nametag the newbie and in general have an awesome time. However, it was interrupted by a thing that shall not be named.However, we have an awesome CM and great south Florida business community that sent me an Elite Perk, almost a solo Elite event for Happy Hour and I had the chance to enjoy the week at least for a couple of hours.Tucked away and up a cool spiral staircase from the SLS Brickell lobby, SAAM lounge has a very sultry and rich vibe with comfy leather couches, live jazz and a romantic nook or two. My waitress showed me the Happy Hour menu for my complimentary cocktails and recommended their "Herby Old Fashioned". Infused with CBD, the smooth blend of TimCup Whiskey, Rosemary and Angostrura this was the perfect way to unwind from the news and the week in general.Being affiliated with Fi'lia, the bar bites menu was Italian (my favorite type but you knew that!) Juicy meatballs, a Diavola marinara sauce and creamy mozzarella - as well as fried mozzarella balls - were my favorite.Being Friday, I could definitely use another drink and went for their mango rum. However, I was informed they were out of mango...but not rum. My waitress saved me with a couple of rum cocktails mixed with fresh muddled berries, guava syrup and a lime (for Vitamin C :)"
