    Aficionados truly lives up to its name. Recommended 100% came in for drink, and both the Whiskey and Wine selection and presentation were outstanding. The atmosphere is classy yet comfortable, and the service was genuinely excellent -- friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just looking for a refined drink experience, Aficionados is absolutely worth a visit.

    Cute little wine shop literally across from the JW Marriott Miami, better liquor selection than wine. Although I saw the 1973 Chateau Palmer and first growth 1995 Chateau Haut-Brion, impressive! We picked up a bottle of 2010 Grand Riserva Rioja bottle for a reasonable priced. Will be back when we in need of wine while in town. They offer cigars and coffee, as well as a restaurant next door too!

    UH OH!! this is a dangerous business to have soooo close by! this liquor (& cigar) store, a little hidden gem just off Brickell, has changed names and management several times but something tells me that this time things are different! the ownership/management are all so friendly, well-informed on their stock (and their craft) and so accommodating & helpful - they'll take the time to talk to you, make recommendations, even stock certain items if the demand is there and you request it. I'm thrilled that they are actually putting effort into making the business a success with their EXTREMELY knowledgeable staff, their tastings every other week (varying from wine to tequila to vodka), and promoting themselves with an email mailing list. not only do they have an surprisingly decent and varied selection of liquor, beer, and wine available in the store - surprisingly good considering the smaller size of the store - but they also have very reasonable prices as well as a good sized cigar selection (& cigarettes too). there is also outdoor seating, so should you wanna stay and hang out a while, you could....and I'll tell you (between the beverages, the cigars, and the staff), you just might want to!!

    Ask Isa to make you the Ingrid. BOMB.

    At this place, the evening always starts off like this and it couldn't be anymore simple. I walk by it with my boyfriend and say, "Hey, let's go in for one drink." He nods his head yes and we walk in. You know what we just did there? We fucking lied to ourselves. A straight up lie in every word. Why? Because you can't just have one drink here. It's damn near impossible and I'll explain to you why. First off, cocktails. They've got cocktails and they are good. Are they extremely fancy? Nope. But they'll get the job done nicely and you'll enjoy every sip. What's even better is that you won't be paying Brickell prices. Who can complain when you're getting quality ingredients and alcohol at a reasonable price? Serve me another, bartender. Secondly, the people who work here are just friendly and easy to get along with, from the owners to the staff. They want you to enjoy your drinks and your time at their bar. If you want to chat with them, they're all for it. If you want to watch a game or a show on the flatscreen TVs they have on the wall against the bar or by the couches, they'll accommodate you. And if you just want to chill outside/inside and talk with your friends, they'll make sure you're comfortable. It honestly feels like home. Alternatively, if you just want to buy your own liquor or beer and take it up to your place to enjoy, they'll be happy to recommend a bottle from their selection that's fairly priced. Don't drink alcohol you say? Well, they serve up a mean cup of coffee or espresso. Bottom line, if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere to get your drink on, be sure to stop by Aficionados. Who knows, maybe you'll lie to yourself, too, like I do every time. But oh does this lie taste so gooooooodddd.

    Cigar lounge, coffee shop + liquor store!

    Such a cool spot. A bar, a liquor store, a coffee shop and a cigar lounge. we didn't stay long, fiancé just wanted to grab a cigar. He found one that was $10 and is normally $20 in NY. He was excited about that. I was excited that they had a coffee selections. We were disappointed that he couldn't smoke his cigar in the lounge, that would've made it four stars for sure. I love the concept. Super cool. Although the fiancé did mention that the cigar was stale/old?

    So it's a Cigar Bar but you can't smoke the Cigar on the premises?

    Unfortunately no but we have tables outside where you can have a smoke and cocktail. Cheers

    Looking for an affordable, delicious Italian escape that won't wreck your pockets?…read more Piola might just be your spot. With 15+ types of pizza, plus favorites like chicken parmigiana, salmon, and a wide variety of pasta, gnocchi, and ravioli (the short rib ravioli looked very tempting ), there's plenty to explore. Most dishes fall between $19-$26, which honestly feels like a steal for the quality you're getting. We tried the cheese and pepperoni pizzas (served perfectly hot and absolutely delicious) and the garlic rolls were just as amazing. Already planning our next visit... especially after hearing about Gnocchi Night: all-you-can-eat gnocchi for $21 on the 29th of every month. Such a sweet deal! Definitely going back for that. Thank you Patricia from Piola Brickell and Christian from the Brickell wellness walks for organizing this day and reintroducing us to Piola !

It was a frozen concoction of fresh pineapple and strawberry juice with wine based liquor and it was divine. I usually stay away from frozen drinks out of fear of sugar concentrated juices, but the fresh juices made the drink such a delight. I was a happy camper knowing I had another one coming after my first one. They make wine based cocktails that aren't very far from the real deal, so it's a great way to find some favorite drinks without going down the liquor rabbit hole. I had the meatballs which came swimming in a tasty marinara with a side of crusty bread. The meatballs were seasoned just right and perfect to munch on with my drink and the red wine that came afterwards. I mopped up the sauce with the bread and have no regrets. The staff and management knew I was holding a book club meeting and gave us a beautiful partially enclosed space with a table to seat 10 people surrounded by shelves of wine that they sell. If you order a bottle and it's a red, they'll take it right off the shelf and open it for you. Sometimes they have a half off wine bottle promotion, so it's good to go and check out what they have going on! The manager Rebecca and her staff took great care of a rambunctious group of hungry and thirsty bookworms and made us feel very welcome. I can't wait to hold another meeting there as an excuse to return!

    Stay away from this venue. I was extremely disappointed with the employees at Sugar and Tea Room…read more This is likely why fewer classy, self-respecting patrons are attending compared to the past. Something in their management or operations has clearly changed. I used to visit these venues frequently, but one night I was abruptly escorted out with no explanation or reason given. I later learned from others that if you're not constantly purchasing drinks, they will single you out and ask you to leave. I'm not a big drinker--but had I been treated with respect, I would have gladly made full dinner nights out of it there. On previous visits, security staff would oddly sit next to me and ask if I was "okay," as if something was wrong, despite there being no issue. On another occasion, I was told to leave without any explanation whatsoever. I am a well-dressed, respectful, and well-groomed individual, and the only apparent reason for this treatment was that I wasn't repeatedly buying overpriced drinks or reserving a table. Staff constantly watch and patrol the venue, which creates an uncomfortable atmosphere and discourages guests from ordering at their own pace. This made me feel unwelcome and pressured rather than relaxed. Additionally, having worked closely with city code compliance in the past, I can say that the hallway connecting Sugar and Tea Room appears too narrow during their over-capacity weekend nights, creating a potential fire hazard in the event of an emergency. I'm not sure whether the city or fire department has been made aware of this. I am a reasonable and respectful person and would not have posted this review if management had simply provided an explanation or apology after I reached out privately. I received an initial response stating they would follow up, but no further communication ever came. Brickell now offers many better options, and I've been treated far better at other venues. Until I receive an apology and a genuine welcome back, I see no reason to remove this review or return.

Love how you can see Miami skyline from the floor to ceiling windows. Good spot for date night, girls night, or if you want to have a great night with a lounge vibe.
