The Atrium in the Carnival Magic was the first bar I walked into. Mostly because it is right near…read morethe customer service desk, and I wanted to turn in my voucher for the free bottle of water. I stayed for a more adult beverage. Carnival's Atrium Bar and Lounge is multilevel. You can only enjoy a drink on the first level, but you can enjoy the music and live events on different ones. I came here many times to enjoy the live music which was fairly eclectic. Depending on the day I heard Classical music, Island music, Hispanic music, etc. Wonderful bar, great bar tenders. Truly a great place to have a drink and unwind, especially if you just got upset and were complaining at nearby customer service.

Incredible Vibe & Top-Tier Safety! We came here yesterday to…read morewatch the Argentina World Cup match, and it was hands down the absolute best time! The atmosphere was completely electric, with a massive crowd packed in to watch the game. What really stood out to us was how safe the environment felt. As two women attending completely alone in the middle of such a huge, high-energy crowd, we felt entirely comfortable and secure the whole time. On top of the amazing energy, everything was exceptionally well-managed. The staff was hustling non-stop, working constantly to keep the entire place super clean and the lines moving efficiently. Plus, everything was very reasonably priced, which is a rare find for a major game-day watch spot. Fantastic vibes, great prices, hardworking staff, and a safe environment--we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We will definitely be back for the next big game!

They also do events here sometimes so be mindful it's mostly outside with no breeze so wear sunblock/hats if it's a daytime event!

Miami Sound Bar is one of those hidden gems that you almost want to keep to yourself. The vibe is…read morelow key and relaxed, making it a perfect place to start the night before heading out somewhere else. The music is always on point, and you can tell they really care about the sound and the atmosphere they create. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy the music while still being able to talk and hang out. The drinks are great, and the whole space has a cool, laid back energy that keeps us coming back. It's easily become one of our favorite spots to begin a night out in Miami. If you're looking for a chill place with great music, good drinks, and a unique atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out.

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.

All the bartenders are fun and really make the cocktail experience an interesting one. I came with some friends to Casa Tiki to enjoy the Love Island watch party they were hosting. It was such a fun evening, everyone really enjoyed it. Casa Tiki had everyone interacting with one another and bonding over the show. They even had a twerk battle, it was a party! This place feels like it's Christmas in a tiki hut. There's a pool table right when you walk in, if you come later in the evening you have more of a chance to acquire the table. There's street parking available for anyone coming to check this spot out.

If you grew up in a Latin household - something about old school salsa / cumbia / merengue music…read moretakes you back to a place that is nostalgic and healing all at once. That's what I experienced when I visited Hoy Como Ayer on Friday night. The set up on stage is giving vintage havana of yester-year, and there was a DJ who was great. There are some couches on the side, but make no mistake when you walk in you are here to dance. There are high tops circling the dance floor but it's wide open for you to get your groove on. When I arrived around 9 I told myself I was only going to stay until before midnight - well joke's on me because the music got me and I was there until 2 am. Signs of a good DJ, good Vibes, and a good night. The cocktail menu has classics, and while I started with a gimlet I switched to gin and tonic for most of the night. There is also an outside patio if you want to chill and not be in the dance floor. As someone who loves the dance floor, I never went outside, but my friends told me it was cute. While I looooove a good night out dancing to perreo, these old school vibes keep our OG Miami and Latin culture alive, and that's something I loved about my visit to Hoy Como Ayer. The DJ - el Gran Cucu and the live timbalero El Gato were amazing. The only thing better than old school salsa, is listening to old school salsa with live percussion. Grab your fave dancing shoes, text your girls, and take yourselves for a night out in Little Havana!

There was already a crowd outside waiting for the next seating, and once inside, the intimate setup immediately stood out. With only about a dozen tables, a tiny bar, and the rest of the room dedicated to the stage, it feels exclusive without being pretentious. We sat at the VIP table tucked off to the side. At first, I wondered if the view would be limited, but it ended up being one of the coolest seats in the house. Watching the performers through the side curtains gave everything a romantic, vintage feel, while looking out across the room made it feel like you were hosting the evening. A special shout-out to our server, Arlene. She was hilarious, quick-witted, attentive, and timed everything perfectly. She even brought dessert out at just the right moment so we could enjoy it while finishing the show without feeling rushed. The only disappointment was that the grill was down that evening, so most of the beef entrées weren't available. Thankfully, I had planned on ordering the salmon anyway, and it was cooked perfectly. Just know that if you're coming specifically for a steak, you may want to confirm availability first. The passion fruit cheesecake was much sweeter than I expected, but still delicious. And then there's the jazz. Miami doesn't have nearly enough places like this. The musicians were talented, and the atmosphere alone is worth the visit. If you're a serious jazz fan, you may wish there was a little more improvisation and a little less sticking to the standard arrangements. The vocalist was good, but none of the performances were particularly unforgettable. Still, that's not really why you come here. You come for an intimate room, live jazz, attentive service, great ambiance, and a memorable night out. Armstrong Jazz House absolutely delivers on that. I'll definitely be back.

Another thing that took their 5 stars was the alcohol options. It is all fermented alcohol and no name brands. We shared steak bites, truffle fries, and the chicken tostones. All the food was delicious. The service was also amazing. I forgot to add it smelled like caca in there.

Picture this - you walk into a tropical oasis and have the option of cocktails from Jaguar sun, wine selections from Bad Seed - a new wine bar pop up from Karina and the folks at Niu Wine -, rotating food from some of Miami's most loved chefs and last but not least - MUSIC! You'd think these folks just took your best friends magical back yard and created the most fun party in their house, but instead its at Understory and you can enjoy this oasis weekly on Thursday's and Fridays. I went for the first time last Thursday where I got to try a rum punch but with Mezcal that was delish. Then I moved on to a selection of delish wines and pizza by Flour and Weirdoughs. To say the vibe is impeccable is an understatement. I happily stayed until they closed at midnight, passing the time hanging out with friends and listening to the most fire playlist. They also have live jazz that starts at 9, which you can't really hear from the wine bar area since the space is so large, and DJs later in the evening as well as Friday. You can enjoy free entry before 8:30 pm. The best way to stay up to date on their weekly pop ups is to follow them on IG at @Understorymia. Can't wait to return!
