Basement Miami at the basement of the Miami Beach Edition Hotel is a unique and trendy night club, lounge, and bar with an interactive lighting, and color changing lighting in their indoor ice skating rink and 4 lane bowling alley with the DJ providing the music in their state of the art sound system. This colorful and upbeat vibes lounge have a full bar and signature cocktails and they also serve delicious food by Michelin starred chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Service is good, they serve our food and drinks while bowling, so you are not interrupted when playing. Overall, a good experience and we had a great time! Check it out!
The staff on the day I visited made this place imo. From the security to the host for the bowling and the ice skating rink. Who knew an ice skating rink would be in miami, at first i thought it was going to a roller skating rink but was in for surprise to find out it was ice skating which honestly is not for beginners. Overall cools venue, very attractive venue to bring friends
I've been to The Edition many times but never to the basement. I was pleasantly surprised by this cute little nook tucked away downstairs with a great bar, bowling alley, and ice skating room. I went for a friends birthday and had a time. I didn't have any food there but she enjoyed her pizza. The bartender however threw me off a bit when I expressed my Aperol spritz was more Aperol than bubbles so he told me next time tell him in advance to ask for less Aperol. Without offering to fix it at all. I just asked for a little club soda added since he didn't initially. And didn't overtip since there's already gratuity included. Bringing my drink to $27 and change. At any rate overall I enjoyed and would go back.
I have been coming here for many years and during the pandemic, they closed down the nightclub portion of this bar, but they kept open the other side, which has a full bar, ice-skating rink, and several bowling lanes. We came after dinner and started with lemoncello shots which were light and sweet. We got a bowling lane for the six of us, everything about that was fun and delightful. The ice-skating area was uneven we heard from people who had just done it and it wasn't a easy experience so we chose to pass on that. We continued drinking margaritas, and they tasted top-notch. It's clean and the couches were comfortable. The bathroom had no line even though we were there on a Friday night, the staff was attentive, and it wasn't hard to order a drink. I love this place I will definitely be back again soon.
We went on a Thursday night around 8 pm for a drink! It was super empty but sooooo cute. The bowling lanes were lit up And the small Ice ring was cute as well. The bartender was really nice and made awesome cocktails and the DJ/security guard was Mixing awesome music! The ice skating ring is free from 8-9 !
The ambiance was incredible and the drinks were great. We had a great time with bowling and ice skating for a friends birthday. They limit you on the time to bowl and quickly have other parties lined up so you're not allowed there for too long, however, a good time isn't always a long time either.
Welcome to the Basement! This place was recommended as a cool spot to check out when you're tired of the usual Miami scene. I can only speak on the bowling and skating rink. In the weekends there is a huge area that turns into more of a nightclub for party goers as well. Seeing that Basement is located right in Edition hotel, you can expect this place to always be packed no matter when you go. When I arrived the skating rink was partially filled with guests. I managed to find an open lane in the bowling alley. It cost me about $25 to play. The other lanes were packed with groups of people who I assume where hotel guests. The wait staff comes by to check up on you and see if you want to place an order. Overall, very friendly and helpful. I had a fun time bowling here. I would love to come back. What I didn't realize is by the end of the night they turn on all the lights and it gives you more of a nightclub feeling. That sounds more fun than playing a regular game in the daytime. I should have waited and checked it out after hours. Oh well, there's always next time I guess.
This was part two of my sister's upcoming wedding celebration. After our sisters dinner, we had planned for everyone else to meet us at Basement at 8pm, where we had 2 bowling lanes reserved. Arriving to the place, and entering the beautiful hotel was great! We found the "Basement" easy enough, and were greeted immediately. As planned, the two lanes were ready for us, and we just had to go and get our shoes. When making the reservations, they asked for us to get drinks with our server and not at the bar. Well, half hour later, no server had appeared. After we went to the bar, she came and reminded us to place orders with her - Umm, sure, if you cared to come around and ask for our orders. After that, at least she became a bit more attentive and we didn't have to wait that long for drinks anymore. Note, drinks are expensive, about $18/ each, and 20% gratuity is included in each and every tab, regardless of how many people or how many things ordered. The bowling part was fun. Neon lights, well-kept lanes and lounge area. DJ playing music, making the game more fun and giving it that Lounge/ Club feel. 2 hours were done, and our reservation expired so it was time to pay. This is where I had another issue... First they brought check for the drinks. Had to wait until that was processed. Then they brought check for the bowling part but instead of charging the 2 hours, they did one hour at a time. This took longer than needed and was annoying. We all had to wait there until they finished (what usually is) a simple process and took time away from our fun. Thankfully, included in the reservation, they allowed us to do ice skating too, which is great for videos and lots of laughs. After this we went to the other side, where the actual lounge is. Same expensive drinks, same 20% included, but at least there was some good music to dance, and the place is also really nice. As a plus, this is a great place for those IG pictures... Lights, writings/ sayings on the walls, videos, will show everyone the fun you had. We had a good time, but based on service, prices, and the paying issue, I give it 3 stars.
It's a cute idea for a club; downstairs of a hotel on south beach. It's modern, clean, and hidden. Since I'm not a club person, I wouldn't be the best judge if it's a "popping" club or not. I can speak to the drinks being strong, the DJ Playing the most popular songs, and the crowd was mixed. I'm all about a vibe and this club had a good vibe. On one aid of the building, near the restrooms sat a full bowling alley. It was nicely lit, that DJ was playing a different mood, and it was a really cool chill spot. On the other side of the building sits the full night club with more of a crowd, more bartend Ed, and louder music. I would go again if I got an invite.
Severely conflicted in leaving this review as I've always been a big fan of Basement. They get some of the best bookings and have a very unique space. But there are several downsides and last weekend was just too much. The club, like any establishment surely, can and will close as soon as it dies out - so while you see "open until 5a" it's really more like 3am. This isn't Better Days! Well given the lack of communication and professionalism, my girlfriend and I were sold a drink at 3:20am and promptly kicked out of the venue 10 minutes later with a near full drink in hand. Upon voicing our complaint to "James" and the bouncers, we were then heckled, and I was physically pushed out of the space. Even when we were on the sidewalk (public space in this case), the bouncer continued to push and entice me to fight saying "what are you going to do tough guy;" even though he was not threatened once. Three other bouncers stood watching, "James," who works for the club first tells me to come back another time. Then when I tell him I'm a long time patron, tells me to never come back. Sgt Lester, a cop that works that beat, walks by and isn't much help - also seemingly confused by whether the sidewalk was public property or not. Needless to say: Basement, you just have to not be complete a-holes and if you're going to close down early, don't sell people drinks right before. Also, serve some damn tap water, it's the law. I love you but we need a break.
Basement is a cool spot to check out when you want to do something different other than the usual while in Miami or if it's raining. It's located in the basement of the beautiful Edition hotel. It's a lounge/club that has a bowling alley with 4 lanes and bar along with a small skating rink. It's very girly and cute with the rainbow lights and cute quotes which is great for pictures. To bowl, you must reserve a lane in advance for $50 an hour which seems like a lot but not if you split it with the people in your group. With two people, we played at least 5-6 games. The drinks were somewhat pricey and the fries we ate were pretty good. We did not get a chance to skate and we came around 8pm so the club hours had not started yet so I can only review the bowling area. I would highly recommend checking it out.
Lawdy dawdy..we likes to party... is the theme for The Basement! Oh yea, it's a fun place and a very "Miami" and "South Beach" to go to. Located inside The beautiful all white themed The Edition Hotel on 29 the and Collins. Side note (must stay there one day). A left turn at the lobby and down the elevator you will find The Basement. When you come out the elevator to the left is the night club which is 21 and over. To the right is the Ice Skating ring and 4 lane Bowling Alley and a bar strategically placed in between. There are also sofa lounges on both sides of the room. The lights are dim and it has a night club feel to it. The ice skating rink and bowling is all ages till 8pm then you must be 21 and over. I celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday here and it was the best choice to do so. We had more or less 25 people in our party. I had 1 hour of bowling followed by 1 hour of ice skating. The vibe was great and we even danced to some of the music playing in the background. Some of the bowling balls are little risqué but not xrated. Neon lights stand out in the background of the alley and also the skating ring. The ice skating ring is small compared to a full size one but it's lighting is super cool and even has a circular lounge chair in the middle of the ring. Only complaint would be that the ice is choppy and uneven not well maintained making it hard to skate. Still a great time though. I was able to bring in my own cake and balloons for the party but I did order 10 pizzas that were gourmet thin flatbread style with prosciutto, margarrite and truffles. All 3 were great! For some reason all the kids raved about the French fries, I guess they were good but I didn't get to try. Also ordered the chicken fingers that were complemented by the adults as well. I do have to say that the alcoholic drinks were high quality and fantastic but very pricey. Typical South Beach more or less $20 per drink. Worth it if you can afford it, they do their job. ;) The hostess were great with me. Karoline Is amazing and super kind and also our main hostess with the blonde hair and glasses I feel so bad I don't remember her name, she was patient with our party and professional. Tips are included so pay attention. A fun, cool place to go clubbing and go ice skating or bowling afterwards in your party attire a little tipsy! Parking valet is $25 and there is street parking in the surrounding area.
Now this is what I think of when I think of Miami, and specifically when I think of South Beach. Picture it, you pull up to the swanky SOBE hotel (in this case it's The Edition), walk up the stairs and entire the hotel lobby which is adorned with modern fixtures (think a mixture of wood, silver/metal and white), lush plants, and people who don't give you the time of day. As you enter the hotel you make your way to the back where you'll walk down a flight of stairs and be taken to a place like no other. The sounds of hip hop music begins to fill your ears. And then it all begins- the party. Let me say that it takes a lot for me to want to go out and really get loose anymore. I know, I'm old. A few friends of mine talked me into coming to Basement for Peach Fuzz which happens pretty much every last Friday of the month. It's a monthly 90's hip hop themed party playing those classics you used to jam to in middle and high school. Ah the memories. The fun we had their man was off the charts. It's got such amazing energy. Maybe it's the music? It brings everyone to a happier place. They're playing Ja Rule and Ashanti, Missy, Tupac- you name it and everyone is just jamming; dancing and of course rapping along with the music. In true Miami fashion the drinks will run you $20. They don't tell you that there is already a gratuity built in. I don't go here that often so I guess it doesn't bother me plus I kind of expect it when you're in Miami. But I will say if you still tip your waitress there she'll be your best friend. You'll need her to be your girl when it gets packed. I know it's not the cool thing, but get there early. I know, no one likes to be the first guy or girl at the party, but this party fills up and it fills up pretty quickly and who wants to wait in line? And once the people pile in it gets pretty warm. AKA you're going to sweat like crazy. Basement has a cool sitting area outside of the club, some video games and a photo booth- I love a photo booth. This thing will email photos and .gifs of your antics. On a separate side of the room is where the bowling alley and ice skating rink is. We didn't venture, maybe next time. I was too busy dancing the night away.

Once upon a time bowling alleys and ice rinks were places where pubescent teens would have their parents drop them off for a couple of hours of good, clean, fun. My how times have changed. Basement is a whimsical playground for adults - with copious amounts of booze. Playing arcade, skating the rink, or hitting the lanes while lit will definitely exceed your fondest childhood memories. While we didn't partake in any of these activities we definitely hit the club in the Basement. It is a small venue and gets very packed by midnight. As with every fresh new venue on the beach the talent level here is HIGH. Also, I am not sure if it is the official "entertainment" but there was a dude dressed as Pikachu pouring shots into everyone's mouths and a blow-up male sex doll making his way through the room. Definitely an "only in Miami" moment. We had an amazing time and after significant damage to my wallet we ubered our way outta there. Luckily we somehow avoided a cover charge so I felt a teeny bit better. Overall this is a great place to have a good time. The door policy is not obnoxious like some other places (Yes I'm looking at you LIV) so it's a great stress free place to go rock it out even last minute. read more
This is such a cute spot in Miami!!! I found out about this using yelp. I'm so glad we went. This isn't like your regular club either, there's an ice skating rink, a bowling alley and a pool table AND a separate area to turn up and drink and dance!! It was so cute and such a cool vibe. I loved it. We went on Saturday night. Although, I suspect that most people there that night were tourists. Basement doesn't close until 5:00 a.m. either. Plenty of places to sit and cuddle up with your boo, or a night out with your girls. The DJ was pretty good too. At first he was playing a lot of early 2000s like Jarule and Ashanti, Nelly, and 50 cent,and then he worked his way to playing more recent Hip Hop & Pop like Drake, DJ Khaled, and Kodak Black. read more
Located in the Edition hotel, Basement has a well stocked bar, a small 4 lane bowling alley, ice skating rink, video games and a club. We came here on a Thursday night at around 11:30 and I was lucky enough to score parking just a few spaces away from the entrance to the hotel; Otherwise, as patrons of nearby bars and restaurants like Broken Shaker can attest, finding parking in this area can be difficult. Upon entering the hotel, one simply turns left and walks past the elevators where you'll find a staircase that leads down to "Basement" (though there is no signage for the correct staircase - you just have to follow the crowd noise). To the left is the club/arcade games, to the right is the bar/bowling alley/skating rink. On the weeknight we came the rink and alleys were open, but the club/arcade was closed. We ordered a beer from the bar, and asked about rates to use the ice rink as that's really why we came here (lucky, too, as all 4 bowling lanes were occupied and looked busy). It was $25 per 1/2 hour to use the ice rink, including skate rental. With 2 of us skating, each of us getting a beer and the included 20% gratuity, the bill came to $68. We went to the counter to get our skates and sign the waiver, then put our shoes in the provided lockers. The first set of skates I was given had a blade that was bent fairly badly on one of them, so I had to get a replacement. I'm sure the attendant probably put the bent one back on the shelf. There were 2 other couples on the ice as we entered the rink, but there was plenty of space for all of us. The ice sheet isn't huge, but it's big enough for several people and there are grab rails on all sides for newbies to hold onto. There's also a round pillar toward one side with a cushioned seat all the way around it, so people can sit if they wish. The ice really wasn't groomed well, especially around the back side of the pillar where the ice surface was particularly rough. My partner is a beginner, but after a few minutes he was skating like a pro, and since we were the only 2 on the ice when our 1/2 hour was up, the staff peered in to ask if everything was OK, then let us continue skating. It should be noted that, even though the room is filled with a sheet of ice it's not really cold inside and we were both comfortable (in fact, my partner was sweating after skating around for a while). The arcade and club were dark and the doors were locked on the Thursday night we were here, but we plan to return to try this place again when everything at Basement is operational. read more

Basement is located in the bottom floor of the Ritz Carlton Edition. When you valet your car which is $35, you enter the lobby and make a left. I have to say the lobby is gorgeous. The decor is palm trees with white decor and the aroma is superb. So we made our way downstairs, which then we were greeted by a bouncer who checked out ID. IDK if it's free all night but we did arrive at around 11:00pm. When you enter right in front of you is like sliding glass doors with curtains, which you can't enter. So you have to either go right or left. At this time it looked like the left was popping more so we walked that way. The left side is a bowling alley, a bar, and the ice skating rink. We got our first set of drinks which ended up being $65 for 3 drinks. We did ice skating which we got for free but it's normally $25 per person. The skates were damp and had a horrible odor to them. The ice rink is small the size of a living room and the ice was chopped up pretty hard which made it difficult to skate. After a while, we went to the right hand side which was a pool table, a tiny bar, and a room to the actual club. We sat outside of the club room talking for about an hour until the club got full. It was cool and all but the music wasn't up to par. He DJ played an arrange of music but didn't know how to mix it well or to let the track play for a bit before the next track. read more

It was very nice. I will say they are not stingy with the alcohol but still don't think it's worth the price. I took my own drink in and they didn't bother me with it. Not that many lanes to bowl but the people was very friendly. We didn't ice skate but we did stop by the club which was also nice. The food was very good. I really enjoyed their truffle fries. read more

A little difficult to find, as its at the bottom of a hotel! Once you find it prepare to be mind blown! It has a bowling alley, bar, and mini ice skating rink! Super neat night out other than your typical night club! read more

In theory, this place should be an amazing club. It's located in a swanky hotel, has a cool name, is relatively low-key, has an ICE RINK?!, and a BOWLING ALLEY??? However, when I arrived - it was pretty empty and it was clear that anyone stopping by was just stopping by for the Instagram photo opp. Admittedly, I also snapped a few photos to post about this "cool club with the ice rink and bowling alley" but I didn't partake in either very expensive activity, dance, or even get a drink. I wanted to love Basement... but it fell way short of the very high expectations I had. read more

The basement has a very chill vibe and there seem to be a good mix of locals and tourists. The bouncers and bartenders were all friendly and definitely more relaxed than other Miami spots. There is a bowling alley on one side with a bar and the lounge on the other side. What I really enjoyed here was the great music that they played all night. There was a good mix of old school hip hop and current music, the dj was great at transitions going from Lauren Hill to Justin Bieber all in a seamless manner. The only thing they did not play was Spanish music which was surprising this being Miami. Prices here are around $16 a drink and 20% gratuity is automatically included which seems to be the standard thing here. read more

Basement is like an upscale version of Rec Room, which is my perennial favorite for great music, laid-back club scene and an usually cool and eclectic mix of people. The addition of the bowling alley is fun, though the idea of trying to arrange a lane on a weekend evening gives me a bit of anxiety. The Edition reflects the concerted effort that has been underway in Miami (particularly Miami Beach) over the past couple of years to maximize the hotel experience both for visitors and locals. It reminds me of what happened in NYC back in the day with Dream, Standard, Gansevoort, etc. It's a model in which everyone wins and which is able to attract a much cooler, more sophisticated and less cheesy crowd. I'm all for it! read more
We had a blast here . The actual hotel that basement is in is very nice and quite loved it . We went straight to the ice skating since they closed at 12 and we wanted to try it and get the whole skating experience. Oh boyyyy was i in for a treat hahaha . The skating was not as easy as i imagined. I had never skated on actual ice like this so To me it was harder than going to the arena to skate . To add to that it had been more than 6 years since the last time i had ice skated ...you can only imagine hahaha none the less i loved that i tried it and had a blast trying not to fall hahahaha the guy thAt was working on the ice skating part was super nice as well as The bartender on that side by the bowling section. The music there was also nicer that the one on the actual club part . After a few drinks we went to the club part . We had a blast the only reason it doesn't get 5 starts for me is the music . I wish the club part had newer tunes . A blend will be nice hahaha read more

This is a pretty cool place. I went with a friend on a Monday to take advantage of the free bowling and ice skating but came too late to do both. We skated but it was difficult because the ice wasn't smooth. I wish it was a roller skating rink instead. There weren't a lot of people there and there are only two bowling lanes.. other than ice skating and bowling there was nothing to do but drink. Maybe the dance floor populates on the weekend. read more

This is a club like no other... a little nuts in some ways, but all the best ways! There is bowling, ice skating and the actual club section. Love the dancers and the "spanking guy". This is a must experience type of place, especially if you are sick of the average mundane club scene. I look forward to spending many weekends here! Definitely recommend... if you're cool enough ;0) read more

Basement Miami is always a great time. One of my favorite clubs down in south beach! Love going during peach fuzz , last Friday of every month ! Little pricey on the drinks... but again you are at the beach so it's expected ! They also have bowling and ice skating for reasonable prices considering you're at a high-end hotel, they also have a pool table that you can play for 1$ which is pretty cool! read more

Pretty sweet place! Great venue, I've never seen a place with an ice rink, bowling alley, dance club and arcade! Plenty to do. Although the place wasn't entirely packed on a Saturday night. Would come here for a laid back night, not exactly somewhere I see myself getting crazy. read more
