The Regent Cocktail Club

Inside the Gale Hotel on Collins Avenue lurks the Regent Cocktail Club, a nod to 1940s-era speakeasies amid the tourist crush of Miami Beach. This place has accomplished what every neo-bar in town has sought to do for the past five years: make the past hip again. The scene is set with dim lights, antiqued furniture, old-timey champagne glasses, and a comprehensive cocktail menu courtesy of the good folks at Bar Lab — which tells you that, like the environs, the drinks are classic affairs meant to be savored.
