What began in 2012 as a pop-up has evolved into a Miami Beach institution, now entering a fresh chapter under new ownership. This courtyard bar at the Freehand Hotel, with its twinkling lights and lush tropical surroundings, recently transitioned from Bar Lab founders Gabe Orta and Elad Zvi to New York's Authentic Hospitality group (who also happen to Ray’s Hometown Bar next door). While the ownership has changed, the commitment to topnotch drinks persists , albeit with a revamped menu focusing on straightforward tropical cocktails. The space maintains its signature indoor-outdoor layout with vintage furnishings and lush greenery that made it a welcome alternative to the area's typical hotel bars over a decade ago.
