The Hoxton

Ebony wooden floors, built-in book shelves with picture frames on the walls, and huge, striped couches that can fit an army of party-goers are not what you would expect to find at a Brickell lounge. Named after the hip street in London in the area of Charlotte, the Hoxton has a laid-back, "urban beach house" feel to it. This vibe is reflected in the design and ambiance of the bar, where small, white and light brown wooden tables topped white lamps, flowers, and tea light candles are found dotted along the lounge. Although the decor gets a lot of praise, their specialty is signature cocktails priced at $12 like the Eleven-11, Napolean Mandarin, peach liquer, and pineapple topped with champagne, or specialty beers like Milk Stout ($7). For dinner, the Hoxton serves English-inspired dishes like fish and chips, served with hand cut fries and tartar sauce ($14) and the New England clam bake with lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp, grilled corn, red potato, and lemon ($45). The music adds on to the whole beach vibe the Hoxton's got going on. With names like Cat Shell, Spam Allstars, and Sirens and Sealions hitting the stage, the Hoxton transports guests to a weekend getaway to the Hamptons without ever leaving the city.
