Featured Bars and Clubs

Cafeina

This bar and lounge, the Wynwood Café District's first, is an oasis. The venue includes a spacious outdoor area with couches under glowstick-lit tree branches, a goth-like candlelit interior, an art gallery, and an upstairs lounge.

Seven Seas

Sports and the sea collide at this sunken ship of a locals bar. Pirate paraphernalia and random sports equipment litter the walls and ceilings giving off a friendly hole in the wall atmosphere.

Wall Lounge

The entrance to Wall Lounge is located right outside the garden at the W Hotel on South Beach. Design elements include light shows on the walls, frosted glass doors in the bathrooms, and high ceilings.

O'Malley's Ocean Pub
101 N. Ocean Drive Hollywood, FL 33020
954-920-4062
http://www.omalleysoceanpub.com Founded after the Great Miami Hurricane of 1926 by some guy referred to only as O'Malley, this outdoor tiki hut behind the Ramada offers a great alternative to indoor sports bars. Sitting arm-in-arm with Hollywood Beach, O'Malley's boasts an ocean breeze, an old-Florida feel, and a friendly staff that knows they live in paradise. Besides, there's great people-watching, including the beach-bum oddballs walking by on the boardwalk. The palm-frond roof is covered with sports flags from most of the Florida universities and professional teams. But because the bar is wall-less, the sports memorabilia all stay on the roof. Instead of a wall littered in banners and jerseys, you get a view of the beach. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>
O'Malley's Sports Bar & Grill

Oak Tavern
35 NE 40th St. Miami, FL 33137
786-391-1818
http://www.oaktavernmiami.com Oak Tavern's wooden tables are worn -- their faded chocolate surfaces fashioned out of reclaimed lumber, their corners burnt with the logo of a majestic oak. Outside, a courtyard envelops the eponymous tree. Inside, the smell of fresh buttermilk biscuits, flaky orbs of dough with brittle crusts and puffed centers, wafts across the dining room. David Bracha is the chef and restaurateur behind these biscuits, as well as the acclaimed Brickell restaurant the River Seafood & Oyster Bar. For his first venture in the Design District, Bracha has enlisted Oahu-born Curtis Rhodes as his chef de cuisine. The 34-year-old, who has a background in Hawaiian regional cuisine, was previously a chef at the River. At Oak Tavern, the duo has developed a style of American cooking that combines Brickell's pristine fish, such as snapper crudo with lemon, dill, and minced olives, with heartier, homespun eats: house-cured charcuterie, grilled meats, and wood-oven-baked pizzas. The resulting cuisine bespeaks refinement and rusticity. Its finesse traces to a seasoned restaurateur and talented chef. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>

Ocean Lounge
524 Ocean Drive Miami Beach, FL 33139
305-531-0101
http://www.casanovasuitesmiami.com Located inside and atop (yes, there's a rooftop bar) the Casanova Suites hotel, this lounge offers a fine view of the Atlantic. The lobby-level drinking area includes a long bar, tables, and leather couches awash in a neon glow. Music plays through house speakers courtesy of a DJ. Open format and techno are favored, though reggae sometimes rules the night. Upstairs, the sound of ocean waves lapping against the shore makes great music too.

Ocean Mist Pub

Ocean Prime
19501 Biscayne Blvd. Aventura, FL 33180
305-931-5400
http://www.ocean-prime.com Ocean Prime is another notch on the upscale chain restaurant concept, with locations in various Southern cities and part of a larger portfolio of similar restaurants all over the country owned by the same group. As such, you'll be handing over several Andrew Jacksons to dine inside a mall on very safe cuisine that utilizes fresh and premium ingredients, but that would never be mistaken for chef-driven fare from a cutting-edge eatery. The menu goes as basic as a turkey club sandwich ($11) and Caesar salad ($9) and tops at fanciness with truffled deviled eggs ($11). In between, there are classic steakhouse and seafood dishes such as a seven-ounce petite filet mignon ($33) and blackened snapper served with wilted spinach and jalapeño-corn tartar sauce ($35). Sides include very unexciting wild rice pilaf with dried cranberries and almonds ($9) and candied yams -- actually served with marshmallows the way your aunt might do it for thanksgiving ($9). Décor likewise seeks to embody classy-upscale without treading into trendiness. The oversized, circular, orange cloth chandeliers; white tablecloths; and ambient blue lighting offer an elegant anomaly in a busy mall, but you never quite forget where you are.

Ocean's Ten
960 Ocean Drive Miami Beach, FL 33139
305-604-1999
http://www.oceanstensobe.com At this tourist-oriented Ocean Drive restaurant, the food can be pricey, except for the breakfast specials, which cost as low as $4.75. Notable dishes include the king lobster tail ($58.95 for one pound) - which is steamed and served with garlic, sage mashed potatoes, drawn butter, and seasonal fresh vegetables - and the Buffalo wings ($9.95), featuring crisply fried chicken tossed in a traditional spicy wing sauce and served with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. Also noteworthy are the sizzling fajitas ($19.95), which come with char-grilled chicken, beef, or shrimp; sizzling onions; and green peppers. They are served with fresh guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheddar-jack cheese, and flour tortillas. The restaurant provides exceptional entertainment: At any given moment, there is either a DJ, a live band, a magician, or sports playing on television. Moreover, sidewalk seating affords amusing people-watching. The décor is modern and clean, with tables laid out squarely. Ocean's Ten caters to tourists, but locals will enjoy the breakfast deals and variety of entertainment. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>
The Octopus Garden
1942 Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood, FL 33020
954-924-2525
http://www.octopusgarden.com Small in size but big in spirit, the Octopus Garden is an eclectic watering hole in Hollywood's downtown district. A giant octopus is displayed high above the bar like an X on a treasure map. The sounds of live music and '90s hits pour out onto the street. Inside this low- lit venue, maroon-colored walls are littered with neon signs and rock 'n' roll memorabilia. A stage in the back acts as a home to nightly musical acts and karaoke stars. An attentive bartender hangs behind the tiny marble bar in the front, never leaving a dry glass in the house. Tipsy patrons migrate between the indoor and outdoor areas of the bar, enticing passersby to take part in a little locals-only debauchery. The Octopus Garden adds a bit of old neighborhood charm to the newer restaurants and bars amid the downtown strip. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>
Off the Hookah
300 SW First Ave. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
954-761-8686
http://oth.offthehookahfl.com Off the Hookah is Las Olas Riverfront’s dance club, hookah lounge, and waterfront dining wrapped up in one sexy, Egyptian-themed venue. Vegas-style flair bartenders serve the drinks, belly dancers arouse the onlookers, and the Mediterranean and sushi menu tantalizes the taste buds. There are cabana beds throughout the venue; thus, you can ask someone to go to bed without having to go home. Or ask a cutie to munch on the Mediterranean platter and share a banana/honey-flavored hookah (not hooker, wiseguy!). Also, there are drink specials during happy hour, ladies’ night, and college night to keep the party going. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>

On the Rocks Sports Bar
217 71st St. Miami Beach, FL 33141
305-864-2444
As the name implies, you don't have to be a baller to afford a drink at this loveable dive. In fact, at three cocktails or domestic beers for $5, you could probably panhandle enough money to buy a drink here in the same amount of time it takes to drink one. In addition to those on a tight budget, the bar also attracts frugal young hipsters looking to throw back a few without turning their pockets inside out. The back of the saloon houses two electronic gambling machines and a pool table, in case you finish a couple of your drinks and one of your hands frees up. Doors open at 8 a.m. for those who like a little bourbon with their eggs. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>

http://www.facebook.com/originalfatcats For those seeking a grittier alternative to the suits and heels scene on Las Olas Boulevard, Fat Cat's is a downtown Fort Lauderdale mainstay featuring dark, Americana-littered walls, an eclectic program of local live music, and a formidable selection of cheap beer. Active types dance and sing along an inch from the stage, while the sullen sit in the shadows watching, drinking, and loving every minute of it. Shoot a game of pool, groove to the live reggae on Wednesday nights, or hang out on the front patio for some great people-watching. Read more about this Miami bar or club >>
