    I've been to this place many times and it's been always a fun place to go either with family or friends. The inside area is nice with a lot of TVs to watch games and there's a very long bar; also a big area as a restaurant. The outdoors area it's very nice, very spacious and you have a view to the skyscrapers and to the Miami River to watch the many boats and yachts passing by. The staff is polite, the food is good and the atmosphere is great. They gave some days of specials. There's valet parking only cash.

    I came with hundreds of fellow Mets fans for some tailgating before another disastrous baseball game. I grabbed a seat at the bar which is stocked with coat hangers and outlets for device charging. There was a special on several beverages, but I went with the $5 Nutrls, one pineapple and one orange. and maybe a few beers as well. For food, I ordered the loaded guacamole with chopped thick slab bacon, black beans, corn, pico, cotija cheese, lime wedge, and a side of tortilla chips. The ingredients were all layered on top before I mixed everything into the avocado. The flavor was amazing. Each bite of the bacon mixed in was manna from heaven. Thankfully, I walked so I did not have to deal with paying for parking or searching for a space. Alexis was so sweet and engaging too. If I'm back in Miami, I will definitely return.

    We showed up around 9pm and were seated outside right away. My friend and I were starving and honestly cared more about eating than the view, so we were happy to take the first two-top available near the hostess stand. We were greeted by Maya, who was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I ordered the mahi sliders with fried Brussels sprouts, and my friend had the steak melt. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot exactly when we needed it. We also ended the night with dessert, which was the perfect finish to the meal. Between the quick seating, great food, and Maya's excellent service, we had such a great experience. Definitely a solid spot for a fun night out, casual dinner, or drinks with friends. We'll definitely be back!

    Great spot to watch sports events and enjoy good food. Came tonight for World Cup Watch party for USA game. Happy hour ends at 7pm but there were no Game Day Specials for any matches. On Wednesday Bottles of wine under $100 is half off. Food- Am So Burger - Big & Juicy and Brussel Sprouts for the win! Server Capree was the best

    I love this place... They're deviled eggs are the best I've ever had. They have candied bacon on them. The staff is friendly and it's got a cool location where the yachts float by.

    Food here is actually good for a bar. The outdoor bar is the best vibe overlooking the river. It's spacious as well. They have some fun drinks as well including towers of espresso martinis.

    American Social is one of my go-to spots and the perfect place to sit outside by the water. It definitely gives sports bar vibes, but a classier version. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but the outdoor area is my favorite, especially when the weather is nice. I usually order the truffle melt sandwich, but this time I tried the steak fried rice and it was amazing. So flavorful and a great switch up. The service overall was great. The only small hiccup was with the coffee. We ordered hot coffee and it was forgotten at first, and when it finally came out it was cold, which was a little disappointing. That aside, this is still a place I'll always come back to. It's great for food, drinks, and watching games, and the atmosphere by the water really makes it worth it.

    I ordered the Chicken B.L.A.T. Sandwich without the mustard and for drinks, me and my friend ordered the Guava Glow Mojito as our cocktail. The Chicken B.L.A.T. Sandwich was tasty, and it came with SO many fries! For the price, it wasn't bad at all. My only critique was the bacon was listed as jalapeño bacon, but it just tasted like regular bacon. The drink was unfortunately the disappointment of the night. It did not taste like guava at all or a mojito, and was also pretty strong. Our overall experience was fine, but I would pass on the cocktail for sure.

    I came for brunch with my sister, kids, and niece and nephew! Brunch was really good! I had the fruity pebbles chicken and waffles. It was definitely good! I was stuffed in a good way! Every one enjoyed their food as well. The waiter Leonardo was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive and well rounded individual. He tended to our needs with no hesitation!!! The ambiance of the restaurant was great! The patio area near water was relaxing and nice to see all the yachts and boats pass by. Will definitely visit again

    A girlfriend and I had a great night stopping by American Social for some happy hour cocktails after deciding to spend the night in Brickell this evening. The evening was clear, and a great time was had. Our server was a blonde woman that was super knowledgeable about drinks when we questioned and the restaurant mission and culture. She was quick to get our appetizer and drinks out and make us feel right at home. We ordered the goat cheese croquettes and the spinach and artichoke dip. Both were served hot and tasted fantastic. The dip never disappoints here. It always has a ton of chips accompany it as well which is appreciated. I ordered the Smoke Signals and Spicy Guava Rita. They were both super flavorful and tasted fresh and without generic sour mix.

    SUCH A COOL SPOT! My best friend got married (AHHHHH!) a few weeks ago and she had her rehearsal dinner here. After the dinner, we hung out and enjoyed the fully stocked bar. I got the mahi mahi sliders and their specialty mezcal drink, both were expertly crafted. Seriously, some of the best sliders I've had in a min. There was only one bartender on the floor when we got there but Emely Seijais (Sei!) made sure to take AMAZING care of us. Definitely a great spot for dinner, to hang with friends and have a memorable night also it's right by the water and the sunset view is unmatched

    Easter brunch at American Social 8/10 Charlie was our server and he was awesome! Super nice and very very attentive. He made sure we felt comfortable with him from the jump and kept up conversations with us all throughout!! 10/10 Food & drinks - We had a white sangria & espresso martini's and they were DELICIOUS! One of the best Sangria's i've ever had... 10/10 In terms of flavor, the dip was good but sort of watery so I would give it a 6/10 just because of consistency. For food we had the turkey club 8/10, AMSO burger 7/10, pimento cheese polenta 6/10, & CTC french toast 8/10. Parking - Valet for $18 (cash only) or Street Parking PBP (tricky because theres never really any available parking). Overall, we will definitely be returning! The ambiance was good, music was good, and service was great!

    Great place! The manager Amber and the bartender Jules were great, and accomodated us for the long wait on drinks and food. The food was delicious. The inside was not crowded which made the experience more enjoyable. Would definitely return.

    The Lasseter is one of (I think) two bars within Julia & Henry's, the new food hall in Miami…read more There are a ton of options that look great. I think they fit Miami well, and are slight twists in classic drink options. Our bartender was awesome. She was super knowledgeable and helpful in making recommendations as we decided what to order, and you can tell she really put effort into making sure the drinks were good. The drinks were really good! My only complaint is the price. Of course handcrafted cocktails are expensive, especially in Miami, but wow. The drinks were really small, and had so much ice that they ended up being not very many sips at all. They were definitely good, but the very small size for almost $20 a drink was kind of outrageous.

No pressure !! :(…read more With such an amazing and innovative decor, dazzling bar and great vibes, my sibling, husband and I knew this was the place to be to enjoy ourselves with some drinks! The bar was lit, poppin' and vibrant. We were waiting by the end of the counter where they checked out other patrons near the sitting area. We were overlooked many times... I locked eyes with one of the bartender and she completely looked away from me.. several times :( took about 15 minutes and we reached our arms out and flagged bartender Reilly. Her greeting and attention was genuine so I was happy to get her. Unfortunately, she got busy and we got the initial lady that ignored us. She was not kind, not attentive and didn't really want to help us - she was very fake. With that being said, we had to remind her of our drinks after 20 minutes of placing the order, in which she responded with an attitude "it's being made. We're busy" -_- -_- :( the attitude was not needed. We watched others that came in before us being served. :( I was completely annoyed and upset. She didn't even bring the drinks to us like the other bartenders were doing, she made us get it. Poor service from this one bartender while the others were happy and servicing their patrons. After our first drinks, I noticed she spoke to her colleague and he came over and asked if we wanted to close out.. . Wtf kicking us out? We said no and he opened a tab. When she noticed we were ordering more, she was a bit more attentive. So wrong. Luckily, the drinks were delicious. Perfect. We did end up coming back to the Lasseter and got a gentleman bartender that was so kind and attentive and made our drinks even better! The attention to detail and love he made in my drinks, so that is why I decided to make make this a 3 stars rather than two. He saved this place. The toilet sitting area is very warm, not very air conditioned properly so expect to be a little warm especially after a couple of sips. It's also the walkway to an actual big restrooms for the whole building. The drinks are VERY pricy but the setting is perfect and makes up for it. Unfortunately, the service was not up to par. Disney priced drinks without the Disney customer service. Do I want to come back? Yes. Am I going to be picky with the vibes coming from the bartender and chose who to go to? Also yes. Hopefully, I can increase the rating.

The biggest thing for me was the overall energy and engagement from the staff. I'm naturally a pretty social and engaged person, especially when I'm sitting at a bar, and I made an effort to interact with the bartenders. I just didn't really feel that same engagement coming back. Nobody was necessarily rude or disrespectful--it just felt disconnected, and the energy was a little strange to me. I also didn't realize until I tried to pay that the bar doesn't accept cash. Maybe that was posted somewhere and I missed it, and once they told me, it wasn't a big deal. But little things like that, combined with the overall interaction, affected the experience. Another thing I didn't realize until receiving my check was that gratuity was already included. I wasn't verbally told about it, and I personally didn't see it disclosed anywhere beforehand. From my understanding, an automatic gratuity or service charge is required to be disclosed to the guest before the purchase, not something they should only discover when they receive the check. Maybe there was a notice somewhere that I missed, so I'm not saying there wasn't one, but I definitely wasn't aware of it. I think that's an important thing for guests to know upfront, especially because someone could easily add another tip without realizing gratuity was already included. Ironically, the one person I genuinely connected with and had a good conversation with was another guest at the bar, not a member of the staff. That interaction actually helped make my time there more enjoyable. For me, hospitality is about more than serving a drink. Especially when someone is clearly open, friendly, and trying to engage, that's an easy opportunity to create a connection and turn a first-time guest into someone who wants to come back. I felt like I gave plenty of opportunities for that interaction, but it just never really happened. I still had a good time because I can have a good time pretty much anywhere, and nothing happened that would make me say Lost Boys is a bad bar. It just didn't feel like the staff cared much about enhancing the experience beyond serving the drinks. So four stars because I respect what the place is and can see why it works as a neighborhood bar. It just didn't give me a reason to come back, and personally, I don't think I would.

The speakeasy atmosphere is outstanding--walking through the iconic red phone booth feels like stepping into another era, only with much better bourbon. Victoria was an absolute rockstar. She took some fantastic photos of our group (which is no small feat after a couple of perfectly made Manhattans), anticipated everything we needed, and somehow managed to make us feel like regulars on our first visit. Speaking of Manhattans... they're exactly the way we like them: balanced, boozy, and dangerously easy to order "just one more." Pair that with a great cigar, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both upscale and relaxed, and you've got one of the best spots in Miami to unwind. We came for a drink. We stayed for the cigars. We left wondering if we should install a red phone booth at home. We'll definitely be back--and hopefully Victoria will still be there to remind us that "one more Manhattan" is always a questionable life decision.

    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.

    Solid vibes at Miami Sound Bar. We were downtown Miami…read morelast night with a an extra hour so I suggested we stop over to this spot. We got there as it opened. I know it normally books up most nights so I figured if we got early we could snag a couple spots. My plan worked. We had a very nice bartender who got things going. We both got a creative drink from there menu. The DJ arrived the same time as us so he was just getting set. We were there long enough to hear him blend in about 5+ songs. I was digging how he was shaping the set from some chill song to some that had some pep. It was just long enough to know that next time we are done this way I think we will check out the Sound bar again.

    Rosa Sky is a beautiful rooftop venue. After our group got turned down from another place a few…read moreblocks down, we went here, which was the original plan. The bouncers outside were nice to us, and the line to get in was not too bad. There is only one elevator going up, but it's just a short ride up. Once we got up, the music is loud, the lights are going, it's dark, and it's packed. All great signs of a solid and popular spot. I don't drink alcohol anymore, but my friends were able to get attention pretty quickly from the bartenders. There was a section there where I felt like I was being packed like sardines, but once we moved we were in comfortable spot. My feet started killing me since I wore heels the whole night, so to my delight, I found out there was an area to sit, and that pretty much saved my feet from falling off. The rooftop is such a vibe. We were able to get a section with a table by the balcony railing and see the downtown area in all it's glory with the lights and the Brickell sign in the background. It was thee perfect spot for photos, and we took advantage of it and had our mini photoshoot there on the spot. I was rather surprised that this place started to shut down by 2 am, I had the impression that FL goes until 5 in the morning, but it was no big deal since we were starting to wind our evening down anyways. I am thankful we got to experience going here, it truly made our night special for our bride to be.

The Mule is a standout, and the White Cloud (gin, sake, lime, and yuzu foam) was lovely. For food, the buffalo chicken empanadas were tasty. I'd skip the pork bao buns, as the meat was overcooked, but our server easily swapped them for the hamachi crudo, which was fantastic. ​Service was very pleasant, and the music set a great vibe at the perfect volume. Overall, it is a great rooftop spot that I would recommend.
