Step up a few stairs, walk through the main entrance doors and beyond the sofas in the foyer is the entrance which looks more like an entrance to an office. The door gives way to slightly dim warm lighting, which creates an intimate and relaxing atmosphere. I sat at the bar with my husband and heard the bartender, Phillip taking repeated orders of old fashioned and espresso martini. I saw a table polishing glasses and glasses of wines and then came the surprise - their selections! Their selections were smaller than expected but thoughtfully chosen. We asked Phillip for his recommendations, along the lines of red & bold. He gladly pointed us to a wine that was not on the menu. It seems they offer a menu selection and off-menu/rotating selection from unique wine regions. We had a red blend from China (yes that's correct, it surprised me equally). But then I realized, I haven't had wines from most of the regions they offer and the curiosity sets in. Looking forward to explore the menu and off-menu selection. Perfect bar for date night or post dinner drinks and for all the wine explorers out there.

I've come here quite a few times and often recommend it when meeting friends or colleagues, and for a while, it never failed me. Three visits ago, we had a larger group and noticed an extra item was added to the bill. 2 visits ago, while I should've learned my lesson to check the bill before paying, we had ANOTHER extra item added to the bill. While I do take accountability for not checking, our groups were large, so there wasn't much flexibility in doing that in the moment. While we were frustrated it happened twice in a row, our most recent visit really left a bad taste in my mouth. After paying the bill, we were asked by management to leave as it was a Saturday night, and they needed to seat others. If we were made aware that we would be on a time crunch BEFORE we were seated, I could've made a conscious to either stick around knowing I would get ushered out, or I would have chosen a completely different spot. As paying customers who are tipping for a nice service, it's really sad to see how customers are actually treated. As an extremely loyal customer to this place, I'm going to be taking a break as it's sadly been really disappointing me the last couple of times

I love wine and I love Magie wine bar…read more What a gem of a place that embraces the neighborhood, has an incredible wine selection, and the perfect vibes for any occasion. I've been visiting a lot recently, and even joined their wine club which offers two curated wines a month. Locally owned and operated, I feel really good supporting a place that the owners put so much effort into to offer such a gem of a spot for locals. I've tried a lot of wines here, and I'm always amazed at finding something new to me that I enjoy. If you haven't been, it's the perfect place for a date, a girls night, or a day for yourself. They also have good snacks and charcuterie for you to munch on while you drink vino. Don't know much about wine? No problem. Their team will point you in the right direction and they have something for everyone. This is an approachable wine bar- they want you to enjoy the wine as much as they do and I love that about Magie. This spot has a nice indoor space and a beautiful outdoor area. They also have a sister location in the Grove.

There is a parking lot right on the side of the building, but if that lot is full, there is also street parking, and parking across the street in a lot behind the Citadel. The service here was great! All of the staff were very nice and welcoming. The set up of the lounge is also very cozy. There is plenty of space for people to sit whether you're on a date or with a small group, but seating is first come first serve, so if you're coming with a group it's better to get there earlier in the evening so you have a space comfortable enough for the size of your group. There is also indoor and outdoor seating which is nice. There are many wines to choose from and they also have a decent menu with light bites. We opted for the Dino nuggets and caviar which were a hit, the fried olives and some meats and cheeses with some cornishons, fig jam and a sliced baguette. Overall this place has a great vibe to it and I heard they host events every so often. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a nice space to chill with some friends and enjoy a nice spot in Miami.

The vibe outside was amazing such a great atmosphere for a night out with friends. Their wine selection is solid! We shared a bottle of Moscato, and I also had a Cabernet Sauvignon. For food, we got a charcuterie board with brie, baguette, olives, and salami, and everything was delicious. Such a simple but perfect pairing with the wine. Only small downside was that inside could definitely use better air conditioning because it got pretty warm. But overall, the vibes, wine, and food made for a great night. Will definitely be back!

They have a limited menu but the food was flavorful. Very cool casual chill spot with a friendly atmosphere and live music in front.

The atmosphere was lively, fun, and bustling. The bartenders were very friendly, and I found out one of them is the owner's son, which added a nice personal touch. I loved that the owner/chef was preparing many of the dishes right in front of guests in the center of the bar area -- such a cool experience to watch. The rosé on happy hour was excellent, and I happened to come on $1 oyster Wednesday night, which was an unexpected bonus. The oysters were small but fresh and delicious. I also had the mini ahi tacos and the mussels. The mussels were amazing, especially with the creamy sauce -- and the baguette was perfect for soaking up every last bit. The mini tacos were also a great choice, with three generous portions for happy hour. The crowd was friendly and seemed to be mostly locals, which gave it a welcoming neighborhood feel. I even met a few people while I was there, which made the night even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

The ambiance is effortlessly elegant, with chic décor that adds to the sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. The drinks are where this place truly shines. I had the Mt.

Whether you're stopping by for a casual drink or looking for a classy spot to unwind, the St. Regis Bar won't disappoint.

This is how I found "Got Wine". They have a foldable sign out on Collins, since the actual restaurant is tucked away on 26th Street and closer to the bay walk. When I stopped in around 8pm, I was the only patron as I'm guessing it's more of a daytime spot to grab some sips and bites after the beach. The interior is dimly lit, and the high top tanks are rounded by wine dispensing machines . I forgot to ask, but believe they have bottles for sale as well. I will say this, the sign on Collins is good marketing because the restaurant is tucked away. Service was casually attentive, with my waiter making great recommendations. I do wish they had some desserts or dessert wine. That would have made the 5th star. I enjoyed their "Encubierto" white wine blend from Argentina. It was light, chilled, slight citrusy yet tart. It's perfect for early evening or after a long walk and paired well with the chicken Milanese (breaded chicken) I ordered. It was lightly breaded and well done, with a generous portion especially for a tapas spot. It was accompanied with a mixed green house salad that had a large variety of baby tomatoes (one of my favorite condiments). I also enjoyed their teriyaki chicken skewers served with a tangier l, richer sauce.
