STK South Beach

STK’s tag line is “Not your daddy’s steakhouse,” and it’s true. If traditional old steak houses share attributes with traditional old red wines (dark and heavy, with strong notes of leather, oak, and tobacco), STK is like a spritzer: cool and bubbly, a frivolous sip not to be taken seriously. With a DJ spinning oldies […]

Story Nightclub

Where did the Heat team celebrate their 2013 championship — and rack up a $100K tab, no less? Meet Story. That parable should say it all about this 27,000 square foot South Beach dance club’s prestige factor. Story is all about getting impressive names on-stage, from Avicii to Luciano to Seth Troxler. And here, people […]

Stripsteak by Michael Mina

Michelin-starred, San Francisco-based restaurateur Michael Mina knows Miami. His Bourbon Steak in Aventura and Michael Mina 74 at the Fontainebleau are hits. So the Egyptian-born Mina was tapped to take over a massive space inside the Fontainebleau to launch the second outpost of Stripsteak. (The original is in Las Vegas.) With its caramel-colored leatherette booths […]

Stubborn Seed

Jeremy Ford – the Florida-born, smooth-scalped winner of the 13th season of Bravo’s reality cooking show Top Chef in 2016 – presents gorgeous dishes the likes of which Miami has rarely seen. Though Ford offers an à la carte menu that’s ever-changing, the best way to experience Stubborn Seed is through its six- or nine-course […]

Sultan Mediterranean Cuisine

Loud blaring house music accompanies your hummus at this storefront Mediterranean restaurant/pizza shop. What makes this restaurant so popular (and it’s always busy), is the close proximity to all the expensive hotels and lounges on this northern strip of South Beach, and the fact that it’s nearly always open. It’s the cheapest place to get […]

Sushi Deli

Located inside a little Japanese market (that’s nearly impossible to see from the road), this place has a Japanese-trained veteran sushi chef who turns out a limited selection of what insiders consider among Miami’s top sushi. Some is extremely hard-to-find traditional Japanese stuff, like the Battera — Osaka-style sushi, for which rice is loaded into […]

Sushi Garage

Husband and wife Jonas and Alexandra Millan like to joke they were forced to open Sushi Garage so they’d have a place to eat Japanese food in Miami Beach that’s neither too expensive nor too experimental. Searching for a simple California roll? Sushi Garage does the staple justice. They offer both mock crab and king […]

Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company

In 2016, restaurateur David Martinez, Blackbird Ordinary‘s Dan Binkiewicz, and world-class bartender John Lermayer opened a Miami Beach bar meant to be a hangout where locals could gather for proper cocktails and a killer menu created by chef Michelle Bernstein. This neighborhood joint – adorned with a pink neon sign that urges patrons to “pursue […]

Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery

The management team behind the much-missed Employees Only Miami is behind this intimate space, which pays homage to the beloved spirit of the Caribbean: rum. To wit: Swizzle stocks about 150 varieties of rum meant for sipping or playing the starring role in cocktails. You’ll find classics (such as a rum manhattan) along with imaginative […]
