Swan Upstairs

Went Saturday night for a birthday celebration. It was about 15 of us and when the reservation was made, they said no minimum purchase for a table. 2 of us arrived at 10:30pm and they told us to please sit at the downstairs bar to wait for the upstairs part to open at 11pm. Then it was extended until 11:30pm. When our whole party of 15 arrived at their velvet rope area, they told us that guys had to pay and ladies were free, which was different to what was told to us when the reservation was made. We ended up buying a $700 gin bottle so we can all get in without making the rest of the party pay (that's tacky). I gave it 3 stars because the music was great. But zero stars for the contradictory information and also it felt uncomfortably packed by 1am. Could barely make it out, without bumping into everyone around me.Drinks at the bad downstairs were also good but $20 each which is normal for that are I guess.

Damn, I think my feet are still on fire from dancing for what felt like days at Bar Bevy this weekend.What a freaking amazing spot. My friends and I ended up here by accident after a SOBEWFF event at jungle plaza. So happy for this turn of events. What started as a night cap at the bar downstairs at Swan ended up as a late night dance sesh at Bar Bevy. What is a group of folks to do when you hear old school hip hop blasting? Consider us moths with these tunes as our flame.The space itself is swanky, with what looks like a few areas to enjoy table service. We opted for dancing by the bar. I didn't order any fancy drinks, but enjoyed my tequila sodas.I would totally recommend Bar Bevy for dancing in the design district for a night well spent. While it's gorgeous inside, it definitely gives me more loungey than over the top club level vibes (aka you don't need to go above and beyond to dress up for this spot other than being your fabulous miami self).

I had plans with some girlfriends to do happy hour here on a Friday. I wanted to see a happy hour menu, but I couldn't find one. Website? No. Yelp? No. Insta? Nope. So I called the restaurant and a young girl named Caro answered the phone. I asked her about the happy hour menu and she said it was until 8. I asked her if a manager or anyone can email me a menu and she said no. I asked what was on it, and she said "oh, lots of different things." I said "Ok, can you be specific? Can you tell me one or two items on the menu and their prices? She said "ugh oh my god, hold on a second...." and put me on hold. She never came back on the line. I waited 20 minutes and even tried calling back and she never picked up again! Oh but when my friend called from a different number, she was all of a sudden able to pick up the phone. haWant to hear the most frustrating part? When I finally got to the place and see the menu... all the items are $8! So, she was rude, unhelpful, and clueless to top it off! I told a manager as soon as we walked in and he was nice enough to get us a round on the house. However, you would think he would tell the staff to make sure we had a good time since we started off on a bad note. Nope, the rest of the night consisted of wondering where the waitress was and if we would be able to find her and order before happy hour was over. I even walked up to the bar to order a drink because she was gone for so long. We had to ask a busboy to call her in order to get our bill. Whenever she did show up, she never apologized or said anything about why she wasn't around. Oh, I have to mention the place was empty. If there was 10 of us in there that was too much. Basically this place has potential, its in a nice area and the decor is to die for. But service is a joke and I would be embarrassed to bring anyone here.

After having dinner near by, we were told that the place to be for a night cap and some dancing would be Bar bevy. We arrived a little before they opened, so we enjoyed some drinks downstairs at swan. After 11 PM, we made our way up to Bar bevy. Obviously, it was pretty empty at that time but they were playing great music. We decided to get a bottle and enjoy the night way. It was fun and a great way to wrap up the night!Only downside is trying to make your way out- down the stairs, in heels, after a night of drinking.

Nice ambiance with great cocktails! Bartenders know their craft and it shows on the drinks. All very well balanced. Lots of place for sitting down. Great for cocktails after work or with a date!

Oh bar bevy, I was so excited to spend a girls night with you! But you could not have been more disappointing... The bad service at Bar Bevy began even before we got there. We called earlier that day to ask about the happy hour menu what it included and what the price range was, we did this because there was no happy hour menu to be found on their website. The person who picked up the phone, named Caro, was so exasperated with the call that she literally said "oh my God!!, when we asked and proceeded to place us on hold and never come back. We called again and of course no one picked up the phone from that point on. We had to call from another number in order to get someone to answer. Still, we decided to give the place a shot. Upon arrival we spoke to the manager about our prior experience and were given a round of drinks on the house. Much appreciated and we thought things would start to look up. We could not have been more wrong! Lets just say that the service was non existent, once we placed our first order our waitress disappeared. ANY time we wanted service from that point forward either we had to wave her down or ask a busboy to get her for us, mind you, she was at the bar in front of us the entire time. We ordered an app that never came and when we called her to tell her not to bring it anymore all she said was, OK. At one point we had to get up and go to the bar to place a drink order because she not once came to check on us and we got tired of having to call her over. To get the bill I had to walk up to her and ask her for it or we would have never left. A new group of ppl came and sat across from us and after waiting for about 20 min. of no service, we also watched as they decided to go up to the bar and place a drink order for themselves. The service here is not bad, they would first have to provide service in order for it to be bad ... its non existent.

Bar Bevy (along with the companion restaurant Swan) is the quintessential place to see and be seen. It's the kind of place where you could spot a celebrity at any time, and beautiful and well-heeled people at all times. It's also a well-decorated and opulent setting, with an Arabian theme that extends all the way to having a desert pavilion setup. Somehow, it felt to me like it ends up less than the sum of its parts. There are a lot of bars with a lot of heart and soul in Miami (Lagniappe, Ball & Chain, Gramp's, J Wakefield, etc.). I'm not sure Bevy is up at that level, although it is new and may yet develop a vibe that's more memorable than its current impress-the-jet-set aura.Happy hour lasts until 8 and, somewhat unusually for Miami, applies on Saturday as well. That's probably the best time to check it out and see if you enjoy the atmosphere.

I Paid $135 cover charge to get kicked out an hour later for absolutley no reason. Then the manager got in our face and said my friend was "too drunk". My friend who was married minding his own business dancing with his wife...Why would he take the time to "talk to us outside" instead of just telling someone who's actually "too drunk" to leave. Because they felt like the need to justify stealing $135 from us and refused to refund.It's sad that the real reason we got kicked out was due to the line at the door waiting to get in. They kicked us out for business profits after seeing us spend $285+Drinks are $25 each, the 3 of us had 2 each. Do not spend your money, or waste your time here.

After having okayish dinner, paid roughly 500$ for two people, bouncer asked 50$ entrance fee. not worth it...

Fun spot to get pleasurable drinks! Regardless of the buzzy atmosphere everything was pleasant. The servers and bartenders were able to keep up and be attentive. The music was enjoyable as there was a wide variety and the volume wasn't overpowering. The place was nicely decorated with space to drink and dance!
