    Cool little space, indoor and outdoor seating options but you got to go to bar for drinks. Great music and cute wallpaper!

    This bar is awesome chill!! A nice, fun vibe and a nice break from crazy, busy South-beach bars. The bartenders are so nice, the DJ is awesome, drinks are great! Indoor available, a bit small but great vibes and music is perfect for dancing and there's a relaxing outdoor seating, perfect to enjoy a drink and have a conversation. Right next to Meridian Hotel and open till 2am!

    This is a fun bar with an upscale atmosphere. It's not very big inside and doesn't have more than a handful of bar stools. It's connected to a hotel, and we sat in the courtyard area, which had plenty of tables and chairs and beautiful greenery. It was the perfect spot for a digestif, and although the drinks were on par with the prices of Miami Beach, the quality and alcohol content was appropriate. The bartender was friendly, helpful, and immediately assisted us with our drink order. I would come back here.

    Bottom line: Minibar is a great little hideout to have a drink or two. Cool bar atmosphere, good drink selections, and our bartender was helpful as well as a great mixologist. Definitely worth checking out. The Deets: Chris M. told me when I came down to Miami Beach to visit that he has been wanting to try this bar for a long time, so we went to Minibar for an early drink or two before dinner one night. They have had a few press write ups which are located on their website so it appears to be a popular little place. One of their items they are known for is serving the drinks with the mini bottles one may find in a minibar, connecting into their name of course. Located within/beside the Urbanica Hotel complex, look for it just past the hotel main entrance as you walk a little bit farther down Meridian Ave. They have a few outside seats but going inside, it is just as its name may suggest...a small dark but inviting bar, well decorated but still keeping that casual feel. You can tell it's a laid back type of place. My pics probably show it best instead of my description. Once inside, scanning the QR code reveals their menu. We were here for drinks so I have no insight on their food offerings. The cocktail list looks great with plenty of drink types to choose from. The bartender was great in answering any questions and making us feel welcome. My friend got the Beach In Mexico cocktail (Abosolo Whiskey Mini, Housemade Orgeat, Nixta, Fresh Lime Juice) while I inquired about mocktail selections...the bartender recommended/made for me a mocktail version of their Mini Bramble (which included Fresh Lemon, Fresh Orange, Muddle Blackberry and Raspberry, Rosemary, without the Bombay Bramble Mini this time). Our drinks were both excellent, we enjoyed them so much we decided on one more before heading out to walk to dinner. I can see as the night goes on that this place would get a bit lively. The atmosphere can suit both quiet times and a bit more bustle/noise as the evening progresses. I am glad we stopped in to try out Minibar in South Beach and recommend you stop by if you get the chance in the Miami area.

    Exhausted with heading down to the main strip, I was looking for a more intimate experience for a quiet date night with my husband and this place gave me everything I wanted. Even though the bar was full, the bartender noticed us and pointed us to the menu as soon as we walked in. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I asked the bartender to give me something with chocolate flavor. She asked a few follow up questions and went to work. In the end, she created a coffee & chocolate flavored martini that was so delicious I couldn't put it down. It's a dark, intimate spot with a DJ playing chill music. It was perfect for a date night.

    Minibar is a small bar in South Beach, mostly frequented by locals. They have nice cocktails, good music & ambiance. They have outdoor seating, which is ideal for our warm miami winters :)

    Cool hidden spot in south of fifth (Miami Beach) a place where locals and tourist can gather. Small off the beaten path. Nice drinks, very chill vibe. Nice and dark. A good place to go solo or with friends. They also offer breakfast in the morning. This is essentially two areas with the same name, under the same hotel.

    This place was so cute! We loved that this bar was on the property of our hotel where we were staying. The vibe in there was so dark and broody which was such a change of pace from the other bars we had been going to in South Beach. The prices were a little high but that's South Beach/Miami for you. We made it a point to stop in every night for at least one for a nightcap to end our evening.

    Such a cozy, intimate cocktail bar! Stopped in before I got dinner across the street, and the cocktails were great.

    Went to happy hour at Minibar on Monday evening. Good drinks at cheap prices at this tiny cocktail bar. Quality: Hard to complain about a $7 Margarita. They have a margarita bar during happy hour that allows guests to mix and match the components they want with small up-charges. With house tequila, sugar, jalapenos, mango, and spicy rim, my drink came to $8.50, which is still a tremendous deal for a very tasty drink. Quantity: Stiff drinks even during happy hour. Value: $17-$18 for Cocktails. $7 Happy Hour specials. Ambiance: Minibar is a small cocktail lounge located in The Meridian Hotel. The entrance is a few steps up front the outdoor patio at the center of the hotel. Several tables sit outside, which was a bit quieter than inside. The inside area is pretty tight, with the bar taking up most of the area. A single high-top and a few stools could be found, but it really was a standing room space. A DJ was set up in the corner and played tracks all over the place, not really sure what the theme was. Crowd: Decent crowd on Monday evening. Lots of hotel guests congregated in the space. Service: Excellent bartender, who quickly put multiple drinks together. Parking: Limited street parking.

    Awesome drinks, great music, and the best service. If you are on Miami Beach, you need to check MiniBar out. It's definitely a great time.

You know how some restaurants blast music so loud you end up yelling at the table? Not here. The music was at the perfect level where we could actually talk and enjoy each other. Any time I needed something, someone was right there to help. No chasing servers down, no attitude, just genuinely great service. Now the food. 20 out of 10. Honestly, everything was delicious. Not a single miss. The drinks though? 100 out of 10. Dangerous in the best way. Our waitress, I wish I remembered her name, was incredible. Every recommendation she made was spot on, and we loved everything she suggested. I would absolutely recommend this place, but part of me wants to keep it a secret because the vibe is just that good. If you're looking for amazing food, great drinks, and an overall great experience, this is it.

When we arrived we were greeted and promptly seated inside at the back wall in a booth. There was another couple to our left and one or two others across the room at other tables. The couple in the corner who was seat next to us proceeded to talk extremely loud and had several FaceTime calls with their children as if they were in a private location and not a restaurant. Our entire meal consisted of listening to them in the phone and talking so loud to each other and their server we could hear every word! This rude and annoying behavior overshadowed the meal and left us very frustrated and annoyed. If you are going to require certain attire (although several guest came in while we were there who had on shorts and flip flops) and charge very high prices, you should have a cell phone policy in place and redirect guest to step outside or leave if they feel the need to FT their family for 20-30 min. We spent well over $200 on a meal for two and it was one of the worst dining experiences we have ever had. The enjoyed the food we ordered except for the French onion soup which I sent back. The Burrata Caprese was fresh but could have used a few more tomatoes and my husband really enjoyed his steak. I chose not to order anything once my soup was returned because we wanted to leave as soon as possible. Over all the service was good and most of the food was too. Unfortunately, there are those who'd have no regard for their environment and those around them which makes others experience negative! The manager and severs were aware of what they were doing too as they walked by a few times and looked at them. But failed to intervene and for that they get two stars.

    Opened in early 2020 right before the pandemic hit. The place weirdly enough just claimed the title…read moreof America's highest grossing independent restaurant (idk how I feel about that). We asked to sit downstairs where the DJ starts around 11PM. The energy was great with incredibly comfortable and spacious seating. There was a 2 hour limit at the table, but we moved to the bar after our meal. Loved the caviar potato as an appetizer, and the beef tenderloin literally melted in my mouth. The downstairs scene gets pretty loud just an FYI. Service was top notch. Seems pretty trendy and mainstream, but definitely worth it.

    Mila is undeniably gorgeous and absolutely the place to be seen for dinner -- but as a brunch…read moredestination, it left me longing for the Setai. Let's start with the good, because credit where it's due: the food is genuinely excellent, particularly the fish and seafood, which were the clear stars of the spread. And our server, while I'll get to a quibble shortly, was fun, warm, and thoroughly professional. Now the rest. Brunch should feel like a leisurely indulgence, not a contact sport. The meat station had a queue of 20+ people at peak -- I came for great food, not a deli ticket. The space is crowded and genuinely hard to navigate. Champagne required actively hunting down a server, whereas the Setai simply leaves a bottle at your table and lets you breathe. Coffee is $7 a cup -- at a brunch of this price point, charging for coffee feels a little cheeky. Then there was the pacing. Well before our two hours were up, our (otherwise lovely) server began the gentle wrap-up and produced the bill -- which is a curious energy for a "linger and enjoy" brunch. And we were charged an extra 2% as a "large party" of seven... at a buffet. Where we served ourselves. I'm still working out the math on that one. If you want a beautiful setting, live music, better drinks, attentive service, and zero queues, the Setai brunch wins -- every single time. Mila, save it for the nightlife.
