1-800-Lucky

A 10,000-square-foot Asian food hall with indoor and outdoor seating in Wynwood. Seven vendors offer pan-Asian dishes from dumplings to bánh mì in an open dining room that also includes two full bars and a karaoke lounge.

Alba

At this ultra trendy club, floor-to-ceiling windows afford a sweeping view of the Atlantic, and orange decor provides a warm setting for sipping cocktails and lounging with friends. Club music sometimes gives way to rock and Latin, depending on the night. The lounge stages special events, and holds semiprivate parties for birthdays and holidays. It’s […]

American Social

American Social (or AmSo, as it’s been affectionately nicknamed) has proven itself a formidable addition to the nightlife scene for young professionals in Fort Lauderdale, especially in the heart of the tenuous Las Olas strip. By day a trendy lunch spot for the working crowd, at night this craft-beer-centric spot transforms into a full-blown bar, […]

The Anderson

The building that houses the Anderson has been a bar for far longer than most of us have been alive. Restaurateur Ken Lyon has given the space new life by revitalizing the beloved Magnum Lounge with jazz nights and a menu of classic dishes like a “square” burger and steak frites. Outside, a lush garden […]

B Bar at the Betsy Hotel

Nestled in the basement of the Betsy Hotel, B Bar seems out of place on a strip known for cheesy bars and pushy hostesses selling the catch of the day. B Bar could easily be located in midtown Miami or, even better, Manhattan. It oozes Wynwood and Lower East Side cool, so it’s easy to […]

B.E.D. Miami

This self-explanatory supper/dance club oozes silky seduction with a dreamy decor featuring king-size beds garnished with snow-white drapes. Nightly house music and hip-hop affairs attract a jet-set crowd. This is one hard place to get a seat: Beds take up waaay more room than tables. And then there’s B.E.D.’s reservation system. There are exactly two […]

Baby Jane

Late-night noodles, cocktails, and lively vibes are in store at Baby Jane. At this Asian-inspired Brickell hotspot, you’re welcome to sip cocktails and hang until the wee hours. Adorned by a bright neon light that says, “I’ll have what she’s having,” the intimate space is outfitted with booths that line the sides of the bar, […]

Ball & Chain

Sitting above a green-and-white-striped awning, the neon sign for the “World Famous Ball & Chain Bar and Lounge” illuminates SW Eighth Street much as it did nearly 80 years ago. Founded in 1935, Ball & Chain was a jazz palace where the likes of Billie Holiday and Count Basie jammed until the sun came up. […]
