The Hoxton in Brickell Has Closed

The Hoxton Miami has closed. Just this year, the lounge was recognized for having the best cocktails in Miami New Times' Best Of issue, but well crafted drinks and a lively atmosphere apparently couldn't keep the two-level lounge/club alive. See also: Best Cocktails - The Hoxton...
