MO Bar & Lounge

Neighborhood: Downtown/Overtown

500 Brickell Key Dr. Miami, FL 33131

Those who like their drinking set against a backdrop of panoramic views of Brickell and Biscayne Bay will love MO Bar, the relaxed but refined lobby bar at the Mandarin Oriental hotel. Opt for the 14-seat bar or sprawl out in the lounge, where you'll be entertained with Cuban jazz, Spanish guitar, or a fun swing-jazz piano performance — there's live music nearly every night of the week. Cocktails are decadent (think tableside-smoked old-fashioneds and the like), and bites range from sushi rolls to mini sliders, making MO ideal for an after-work drink (or two).
