Checked out a speakeasy bar hidden in the back of a restaurant, and I really loved the concept --…read moreit's a fun idea and definitely caught my attention. I was especially excited because during Christmas time it was decorated as a Grinch-themed bar, which was super cute and festive. The drinks were very pretty and well-presented, but flavor-wise they just didn't really do it for me. The music also kind of threw me off -- it was much more vulgar than I expected, which I know fits a younger Miami vibe, but it felt like a bit much for my taste and didn't match the holiday theme I was excited for. The bartender seemed a little uninterested, and I wasn't a fan of the cocktails being pre-made, which took away from the experience for me. Overall, I love the idea and creativity behind the space, but it just didn't fully land for me. Glad I tried it, just not somewhere I'd rush back to.

Decor was 10/10. This place decor matches the themes for every season. Every drink on the menu was…read moreseasonal and fit for the Christmas season. I truly enjoyed the shots it was nothing I've ever tasted and I went looking for the bottle in stores. It truly can be paired up to make a great old fashioned. I wasn't a fan of the marshmallow and iced chocolate drink. I didn't taste any liquor I was disappointed however, when I shared my feedback with the bartender I didn't enjoy it he made the drink elephant in the room which was wayy better. For a spot where the drinks are full price I expect to be truly impressed from the cocktail options.

The only issue I have here is with the Wi-Fi and cellular reception. On Verizon you can count on not having any reception and the Wi-Fi does not work properly, I was there for over an hour trying to get it to work but had to leave because getting drunk without reception far from home is never a good idea. I'm not sure about how safe it is, but hopefully pretty safe since it's a small space. They keep the bathrooms stocked and clean, mostly.

Basement is located inside The Edition hotel in Miami Beach. It's in the ground floor. It had been nearly a decade since I had been here and I'm glad to see it's alive and well. There's a bowling alley and an ice skating rink. I believe their nightclub is now closed? The bartender was super kind and helpful. Drink special cocktails were good and well priced. The other drinks were also good just a bit more expensive. The ice skating is not for everyone but definitely a fun addition if you dare to try! Definitely a fun vibe with good tunes playing. Would definitely come back again!

My wife and I had a great time at "Sip & Salsa" class party at Mango Tropicana! It was…read morewell-organized with reserved tables in a separate upstairs lounge w/ our placards on table, and it was nice to know we don't have to keep eye out or keep looking for tables like regular clubs since we don't really drink. Alex our instructor was fun, engaging, and an intelligent instructor that broke the dances down for even beginners to follow easily. We first had bachata lesson at 8pm, followed by complimentary mojito and Cuban bites, then wrapped up with salsa lesson at 9:20pm. I wished salsa lesson was a full hour, followed by more fun salsa dancing with instructor dancing alongside (you know, cuz regular student folks won't keep dancing salsa on their own without pros' boosting presence) because afterwards everyone pretty much stopped dancing salsa after the last song after lesson ended. Then it was regular club time. Good vibe and we had fun. The wristband we got allowed free entry to the club downstairs so we could enjoy the cabaret performance and backstage live music band a bit too. Overall I would recommend Alex and Salsa Mia without any reservation for anyone with an open mind looking to have a good dancing time! Try it - don't be scared as there's no need to be! Gracias Alex!

I loved the setting - Mango Cafe is a vibrant and fun place - the class takes place in a side room on the second floor. We had 15-20 people, and the space was starting to get tight, but bearable. Appetizers were tasty, and enough for a couple of helpings. For the free drink, they accommodated the request for a virgin mojito. Includes a wristband for Mango Cafe entry after 10:00p (they close at 5:00a). Highly recommend the class, it's a great value.

My sisters and I sat at the bar since seating is kind of limited and received service and drinks from Domingo.

I would definitely come back:)

On first glance I thought it was smaller than I expected it to be. It has two floors with a bunch of space but at the same time didn't feel huge for being all it's talked up to be. The lighting system and sound system is amazing though and so are the variety of bars they have which I counted four different ones throughout. They offer a bunch of different artists everyday it's open with big name headliners there quite frequently. I thought the whole vibe was electric but I don't know if I would go back and instead I'd prefer to just check out a club elsewhere. It's especially hard to find parking since it's in the fountaineblue so keep that in mind. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you should see it once in your life but I wouldn't say it requires a repeat visit personally

Still open Wednesday through Friday and completely grad student run, this waterfront bar has a more laidback feel than other swanky places on the key, with the benefit of $5 local crafts. While the tide was too high to walk out on the beach, the sunset was incredible and we were able to secure a table on a busy Friday night for four overlooking the water. This bar also serves food in a cafeteria style like kitchen, that is open as long as the bar is (til 10pm I believe). It's a fantastic place to bring newcomers to Miami if they love the beach, brews, and something a little more low key than a south beach/brickell experience!
