    Creole Crab Dip

    My favorite Miami experience and easing my favorite dining experience of 2026 so far! The restaurant is well placed in downtown Miami right on the edge of Brickell. We were originally scheduled to sit outside but we're giving the opportunity to sit inside when asked. I will say our reservation was a bit on the late side on a weeknight so this probably isn't feasible on a weekend or a generally extremely popular night. The restaurant was gorgeous. It was a bit dark from my liking however and that typically ain't a problem for me. Our server was extremely sweet. Unfortunately this was about a week ago so her name has slipped my mind, but she is a red head who transferee from Canada to help open the restaurant. She was extremely knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. Every bite of food was great. The kitchen was running about 20 minute ticket tomes which was expected and did create a problem at all! I will without a doubt return on my next visit to Miami, Boston or Canada.

    It's super cute and has a nice aesthetic. They are very strict! You basically have to wear heels. I was planing on running back to the hotel across the street so my friend let me use her sandals in her bag but they called me back and told me not to go. So I sat back down and as I'm talking to my friends, security comes over and tells me to put my heels back on. I asked why and it I had to and he said yes, I was never intending on keeping the sandals on, but I was wondering why that was a rule, what if I had feet issues and wasn't able to wear heels? That' was crazy to me. But anyway: Steak Frites and Shrimp and Steak - Shared meals with my friend - Steak from the steak frites was good! Steak from the other meal i didnt try, but it had a cajun seasoning - this was a pretty solid meal. I dont know if i would have been as pleased with just the steak frites

    WHAT DRAKE SAID !!!! Food: Hamachi sashimi, soooo good. Would def recommend. Parker rolls were just ok, probably wouldn't order again. They left some sort of wrapper on our butter lol. I was thinking about getting the soy dijon salmon but we were eating outside and I couldn't bring myself to eat a hot plate of food in the 90° weather, so I had the noodle salad with ahi- was yummy but nothing to write home about. The servers are sooo sweet, and the ambiance inside and out is to die for!! Bathroom was a bit confusing for some reason, there was a man directing bathroom traffic idek lol. Had the peach bellini bc duh! Was gas. But one is PLENTY, two is an upset stomach waiting to happen lol- it is REALLY sweet! Also had the hand of god marg which was good, but the primary taste was honey du melon (the melon ball in there was doing a lot of heavy lifting i guess). The vibes are just so good and the drinks are strong! Will def come back to try a true main meal.

    Calamari and a peach Bellini

    Saturday Date Night at Catus Club Catus Club was definitely giving Saturday night OUT We came for date night and the place was packed, so do yourself a favor and MAKE A RESERVATION! Everyone was dressed to impress literally looked like it was everybody's birthday So yes, dress nice! We initially sat out on the balcony, which had a great vibe, but it was a little warm, so bae came through and got us a booth inside. Much better! Now let's talk about the Peach Bellini ... Literally EVERY girl in there seemed to be drinking one. One girl actually leaned over and told me I needed to get it, so obviously I had to listen I'd had them at their sister spot Joey's before, but these were SO good. Drake was definitely onto something when he put these on the map! Bae said it tasted like ice cream, and honestly... that was all the confirmation I needed. I had TWO. Bae kept it boring with his vodka sodas while we started with the calamari. For entrées, we had the blackened chicken with asparagus and mashed potatoes everything was really good. The DJ was on point too! The music had the place feeling lively without being so loud that we couldn't actually hear each other, which I appreciated for date night. They did hurry us along a little toward the end because people were waiting for tables, but honestly, it didn't take away from the overall experience. The atmosphere, drinks, food, and music were all giving, and I'd definitely come back. Catus Club is officially a date-night-approved spot. Just remember: reservation, cute outfit, and get the Peach Bellini!

    Had a nice experience at Cactus Club! The atmosphere was beautiful and made it a great spot to enjoy a meal and drinks with friends. I ordered the sashimi sampler and yellowtail, and both were fresh and flavorful. I also tried the Bellini, which was refreshing but a little too sweet for my liking. I personally prefer my cocktails a little less sweet. Overall, the food was good, the atmosphere was great, and it's definitely a nice spot to relax and enjoy some time with friends. I'd come back and try something different from the drink menu!

    This was my second time at Cactus Club, and unfortunately, I'm still not sure how I feel about it. My first visit was for a quick lunch, and everything went smoothly. My second visit was during the World Cup, so I understand the restaurant was extremely busy. However, service was very slow--it took about 45 minutes for my food to come out. My server was friendly at first, but her friendliness seemed to taper off toward the end. She may have simply been overwhelmed and tired. Overall, twice is enough for me and I don't think I'd return. The food was decent but nothing particularly memorable. If you do decide to go, I highly suggest trying the frozen Peach Bellini.

    Lovedddd this place. Of course had to get the famous peach belinis and they were so good, I could definitely put those away but they are very pricey. If you do go, GET THE TRUFFLE BREAD. i dream about that damn bread, it was so hot and soft and practically melted in your mouth. I got the miso and although it was good it wasn't as flavorful as i wished. My friend got the steak frites with a kale salad and I don't even like kale but it was SOO GOOD. Definitely will be ordering that the next time I go. Her portion was also huge. The inside is also so beautiful and they even have little blankets to throw on yourself outside. Will definitely come again!

    From the moment we walked in, everything was top-tier, the ambiance, the service, and the drinks! The peach bellini was absolutely amazing (seriously, so good!). The food did not disappoint either. I ordered the salmon, and my boo had the blackened chicken. Both dishes were flavorful and perfectly prepared. We were celebrating a birthday, but this is definitely a spot I'd recommend for any occasion. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious food. We'll definitely be back!

    Miso Sea bass 10/10

    I had a great experience. From the service to the food everything was 10/10. The vibe is very inviting and dark. Perfect for a date night or girls not out.

    Creole chicken

    I visited Cactus Club Cafe Miami on September 10, my birthday, and unfortunately, the experience left me feeling unwelcome and disappointed. I came alone, which was already a big step for me, because I wanted to do something special for myself. I told the bartender it was my birthday and asked whether they offered a dessert to celebrate. When it was brought out, there was no warmth or effort to make the moment feel special. The bartender simply said, "I wish I had a singing voice." I understand that singing is not part of anyone's job, but good hospitality is about reading the room. A kind acknowledgment or a simple "Happy birthday" would have meant a lot. The most upsetting part happened when I paid. I tapped my card but wasn't sure the payment had gone through, so I left my card beside the reader. While I was speaking with someone at the bar, the bartender removed the reader without confirming whether the transaction was complete. Because the reader was gone, I reasonably assumed my payment had processed. As I was leaving, the bartender ran outside after me for payment, creating the embarrassing impression that I had attempted to walk out on my bill. Better attention and communication could have prevented that entire situation. The creole chicken was good--about a 7.8/10--and I enjoyed the music and ambiance. However, the hibiscus mocktail was a 1/10, and the customer service was a 0/10. The bartenders seemed inattentive, dismissive, and lacking in basic hospitality. The atmosphere felt very superficial, as though you only receive attentive service if you appear important. What should have been a special birthday experience was instead uncomfortable and embarrassing. Unfortunately, I would not return.

    Lunch service at Cactus Club Club is definitely a good idea! I would come back for dinner but because I work in the area, it is easy to do a walk in during my lunch hour. This was my first time trying their spicy bolognese and it was spicy but not too overbearing. I love the crunch they add to it which is a unique but satisfying touch. I didn't order any cocktails but I promise to come back and try. The bread service with the truffle butter!? Holy moly. I had to stop myself from eating all of it but I did have 2 pieces lol and enjoyed every bite.

    Spicy tuna

    MY NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT!!!! Cactus club was such a vibe!! Their peach bellinis are so good, it's actually worth the hype and genuinely my new favorite drink. If I could, i would drink these all day! The pull apart bread with truffle butter was also so delicious, I couldn't believe that butter and bread could taste so good. Their spicy tuna had a nice kick but was not too spicy, it was perfect!! The bolognese was also so tasty! You can also never go wrong with truffle fries. Our server was super awesome and helpful with recommending different dishes and we loved it all! Overall I had such a good time and I can't wait to go back!

    HONESTLY, maybe one of the best food I've had in my life it fed me and my girlfriend $180 with tip the ribs is probably the biggest steal in the whole entire menu and everything was high quality even the bread it's amazing inside great place for date nights or celebratory nights and the peach drink OMG actually blew me away for it only for costing 180 ribeye was great soft but tender and packed with flavor and the mashed potatoes were delicious too

I think they fit Miami well, and are slight twists in classic drink options. Our bartender was awesome. She was super knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations as we decided what to order, and you can tell she really put effort into making sure the drinks were good. The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all. They were definitely good, but the very small size for almost $20 a drink was kind of outrageous.

    Oooooo I'm the first to review and I WISH it could've been 5 stars! No pressure !! :(…read more With such an amazing and innovative decor, dazzling bar and great vibes, my sibling, husband and I knew this was the place to be to enjoy ourselves with some drinks! The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

The biggest thing for me was the overall energy and engagement from the staff. I'm naturally a pretty social and engaged person, especially when I'm sitting at a bar, and I made an effort to interact with the bartenders. I just didn't really feel that same engagement coming back. Nobody was necessarily rude or disrespectful--it just felt disconnected, and the energy was a little strange to me. I also didn't realize until I tried to pay that the bar doesn't accept cash. Maybe that was posted somewhere and I missed it, and once they told me, it wasn't a big deal. But little things like that, combined with the overall interaction, affected the experience. Another thing I didn't realize until receiving my check was that gratuity was already included. I wasn't verbally told about it, and I personally didn't see it disclosed anywhere beforehand. From my understanding, an automatic gratuity or service charge is required to be disclosed to the guest before the purchase, not something they should only discover when they receive the check. Maybe there was a notice somewhere that I missed, so I'm not saying there wasn't one, but I definitely wasn't aware of it. I think that's an important thing for guests to know upfront, especially because someone could easily add another tip without realizing gratuity was already included. Ironically, the one person I genuinely connected with and had a good conversation with was another guest at the bar, not a member of the staff. That interaction actually helped make my time there more enjoyable. For me, hospitality is about more than serving a drink. Especially when someone is clearly open, friendly, and trying to engage, that's an easy opportunity to create a connection and turn a first-time guest into someone who wants to come back. I felt like I gave plenty of opportunities for that interaction, but it just never really happened. I still had a good time because I can have a good time pretty much anywhere, and nothing happened that would make me say Lost Boys is a bad bar. It just didn't feel like the staff cared much about enhancing the experience beyond serving the drinks. So four stars because I respect what the place is and can see why it works as a neighborhood bar. It just didn't give me a reason to come back, and personally, I don't think I would.

    If you're looking for a place where the password gets you in, the cocktails keep you there, and the…read morecigars convince you to stay longer than planned, The Red Phone Booth is it. The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

    I love a cool speakeasy thats suktry and sexy. Place definitely has grown vibes…read more You can go through the black door or do the coolest thing and go thru the actual red Phone booth (choose this option and have your phone ready) The place is flowing with cocktail ambiance. The bartenders here are artist. The menu appears like a vintage book with history about each drink. But listen honey when I tell you these cocktails are Amaze! Just try anything or ask.to be surprised. Remy was our server and he is freaking awesome and has skills. He helped us choose our cocktails cause everything was sounding like a vibe. The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!

    Like any Miami-ite, I'm always looking to soak up all the cultural accoutrements the Magic City has…read moreto offer: food trucks, eating halls, sports events, car meet-ups, that one art museum in downtown I forget its name. Anywayssss, when I caught the winds that there was a new sound bar in downtown, I NEEDED to be there. The concept of the sound bar is some type of Asian thing, I don't really know. But where in Asia there might be a few monks sitting around in silence listening to gongs or whatever, Miami goes BIG! Finding parking in downtown Miami on a Saturday is virtually impossible unless you bribe a valet servant with cash. So that's what I did. My ladyfriend and I arrived early to the sound bar, and there was already a hearty swarm of brodents and thots lined up to get in. Some crack head outside was shouting about IPA's. I told the door servant that I knew the DJ or something like that, and he let us right in. Once inside, the bar has that edgy big city, small hallway type of vibe. You could barely stand around in there, let alone get to the bar to order a drink. The mix of flapping gums and mixologists concocting cocktails made for a cacophonous distraction from the actual "music" we were there to "listen" to. My ladyfriend and I ducked out across the street to Black Market Miami Bar where the game was on and you could actually order a drink that didn't cost $50+. After a few libations, we headed back to Miami Sound Machine Bar (they need to put 'Miami' in every bar's name down here in case you forget where you are). There was a weird looking guy playing depressing vinyls with singing in different languages. I was more in the mood for something upbeat and groovy like salsa or merengue that I could dance to with my girls. Although I did hear the 12" Andrew Weatherall remix of Happy Mondays "Hallelujah" at some point, a staple at the Haçienda nightclub in Manchester - an institution that shook the music world and changed club culture forever. The head servant at the bar looked like Nirvana (yes, one man looking like a whole band). He was jaded and rude. I don't blame him! As the night wore on, the crowd got larger and more deplorable, and the room got smaller and smaller. I got stuck in an awkward conversation waiting to use the bathroom. I don't think sound bars are for me. Pros: The bar across the street had really fair drink prices, and the servants are polite and efficient. Cons: the ratchet yuppies that inhabit Miami's nightlife, always on the prowl to ruin a subculture with their tackiness.

    Solid vibes at Miami Sound Bar. We were downtown Miami…read morelast night with a an extra hour so I suggested we stop over to this spot. We got there as it opened. I know it normally books up most nights so I figured if we got early we could snag a couple spots. My plan worked. We had a very nice bartender who got things going. We both got a creative drink from there menu. The DJ arrived the same time as us so he was just getting set. We were there long enough to hear him blend in about 5+ songs. I was digging how he was shaping the set from some chill song to some that had some pep. It was just long enough to know that next time we are done this way I think we will check out the Sound bar again.

    Rosa Sky is a beautiful rooftop venue. After our group got turned down from another place a few…read moreblocks down, we went here, which was the original plan. The bouncers outside were nice to us, and the line to get in was not too bad. There is only one elevator going up, but it's just a short ride up. Once we got up, the music is loud, the lights are going, it's dark, and it's packed. All great signs of a solid and popular spot. I don't drink alcohol anymore, but my friends were able to get attention pretty quickly from the bartenders. There was a section there where I felt like I was being packed like sardines, but once we moved we were in comfortable spot. My feet started killing me since I wore heels the whole night, so to my delight, I found out there was an area to sit, and that pretty much saved my feet from falling off. The rooftop is such a vibe. We were able to get a section with a table by the balcony railing and see the downtown area in all it's glory with the lights and the Brickell sign in the background. It was thee perfect spot for photos, and we took advantage of it and had our mini photoshoot there on the spot. I was rather surprised that this place started to shut down by 2 am, I had the impression that FL goes until 5 in the morning, but it was no big deal since we were starting to wind our evening down anyways. I am thankful we got to experience going here, it truly made our night special for our bride to be.

The Mule is a standout, and the White Cloud (gin, sake, lime, and yuzu foam) was lovely. For food, the buffalo chicken empanadas were tasty. I'd skip the pork bao buns, as the meat was overcooked, but our server easily swapped them for the hamachi crudo, which was fantastic. ​Service was very pleasant, and the music set a great vibe at the perfect volume. Overall, it is a great rooftop spot that I would recommend.
