by JENNIFER N. on A great hang out spot!!! Walking in, you'll feel that classic 1920-1930's jazzy kind of feelin'. Live band performances. I came here with a friend whom I haven't seen in a long time and we had a great time just having drinks. The bartenders are very informative and appreciates his customers. The place is small, intimate and dark. Dark like romantic candlelight dark, not too dark where no one can see each others face. If you don't like the music or noise you can also sit outside where they have chairs and tables so you can people watch while have a good conversation. Ambiance is incredible here. I would even come by myself and just sit and think! :) Their restroom's faucet is so beautiful. It's a swan and I haven't seen that artistic before. http://www.rateclubs.com/bi... One thing I want to come back to try is their breakfast! It sounded so good as I'm reading their menu. I will be back to update you on that! :)
by Edgar C. on This is part deux of the March 11th experience at South Beach Cinema.... After what began as a normal Monday the evening progressed to involve a early movie preview of the Fast & Furious IV and meeting Vin Diesel & Michelle Rodriguez although not in that order. They extended invites to those 21 & over in attendance and of course my bud and I headed out to the Fountainbleu Hotel. So with such a purpose to visit you might say that my experience was a bit unusual and not the typical (hence an extra star from the 3 otherwise). So enough about my night and onto the review. For those who wouldn't have expected it, yes this is a "hottie club" and lots of "synthetic" abounds beyond clothing and attitude but also including body parts. Typical yes, welcome to Miami Beach. From a completely aesthetic point of view the place oozes with sultriness and lots of purple and red just like the Vegas strip as they too want you to spend big. If you don't have money to spend take a walk on the beach instead, because here it'll cost you just to sit. Tables require 3 bottles (about $900) and a 3 story-high glass encased party booth with a panoramic view of the place should run you $2,500 on the weekends according to a bouncer I met. Lots of pencil thin hostesses in black sequin gowns on the night I was there as well as lots of outta towners looking for fun. In fact, both my bud and I got "picked up" by two of them and that just doesn't happen to locals, by locals much in Miami.
