Helmed by acclaimed Miami bartender Valentino Longo, this Italian aperitivo bar in the Elser Hotel downtown opened with authentic Italian cocktails and a selection of pizzas that even nonna would approve of.

Wall Lounge

The entrance to Wall Lounge is located right outside the garden at the W Hotel on South Beach. Design elements include light shows on the walls, frosted glass doors in the bathrooms, and high ceilings. There’s not much of a dance floor, but it’s called a lounge for a reason. It is so small it […]

Whiskey Joe’s

We don’t get out to Key Biscayne often enough. Any of us. So make a trek to Whiskey Joe’s, which feels like a little piece of island bliss — it is technically on an island, anyway.. Sip a frozen mojito, a pi

The Wilder

The Wilder is Fort Lauderdale’s answer to the lack of destination drinking for a higher-class clientele. Think of it as a social club for a truly sophisticated imbibing experience. South Florida hospitality veteran David Cardaci and his wife, Vanessa, used their travels as inspiration for the unique watering hole. Three distinct spaces offer unique experiences, […]
