MO Bar & Lounge

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. Visit from 5 to 7 p.m. daily for "Social Hour," when select mixed drinks and wines are priced at $11 and draft beers are $5, making it ideal for an after-work drink (or two).
