I was in town for business, and decided I was finally ready to check out the legendary fountain blue Hotel in Miami Beach. After walking around the grounds for a time, I spotted this bar and decided I was ready for a drink. I was not exceptionally well dressed, but I was very pleased to be welcome to warmly by the staff when I sat down. I was given a cocktail menu and given all the time I needed to make a thoughtful decision. I was also pleased that the staff didn't hover once the drink was prepared. They were certainly attentive if needed, but they weren't interrupting my experience at the same time. This bar goes back to opening day for the hotel, and I'm very pleased that they've maintained the original chandelier and the overall feel of this bar. The drinks are expensive, but if you've been to Las Vegas or New York City the prices won't shock you that much. With a bar this well stocked I would be shocked if there's a drink they can't accommodate. I ordered a cucumber based item off the menu and found it to be absolutely delightful. This is the sort of experience that you only get to have a first time with once, so I'm hesitant to come back as it might spoil the memory I have of this place. That said I would definitely come back if given the chance. read more

This place sucks. We were waiting for a while to get drinks which is fine, it was busy. We were then approached at a table after purchasing drinks aggressively asking if we were going to order. Girl, chill. This is not a chill place. read more

Know up front that a service charge is automatically included on your tab. The servers don't tell you. The cocktails ($22) are great, they offer creative seasonal mixes, limited wine selection-domestic and imported and a nice liquor selection. I have wondered why late in the evening cocktails are served in plastic cups, while glassware is used earlier in the day. The ambiance is upscale, soaring ceiling, floor to ceiling windows and dim, moody lighting. read more

Not the best experience with the staff. Asked for a mid shelf tequila margarita, man gave me $50 teq without letting me know (and it wasn't good). Thats whatever, I'm on my way out, acting normal not even talking ,and a security comes screaming at me that i can't be in the property, mind you I have a wristband and the drink I just bought at the bar?? I think he seen it and he was embarrassed and walked away but dang! Bad vibe definitely not a place I'll be staying at in the future. read more

Beautiful, ornate bar in the lobby of the Fontainebleau Hotel. An excellent gathering spot for hotel guests and visitors alike. Plenty of comfortable seating, a great cocktail menu, and excellent service. The music gets a little more Clubby with a DJ later in the evening. Also a good spot to have a drink waiting for the nightclub LIV to open. read more

Girls Nite Out at Bleau Bar last nite was nice but not exciting. Nice crowd, mixed ages, great Hip Hop music, some Latin sounds, good drinks, beautiful remodeled spot to hang out. Service was great at first but when the next crew came on, the service slowed way down and we had to wait a long time for refills even though it was a slow night. We had Tito's with soda and lime, and Ciroc peach with red bull. Glad we revisited but not sure when we will be back. read more

I thought I was going to be WAY more impressed than I was. The "bleau" floor lights were very nice and appealing. We never made it to Liv but we did come here on Monday around 10pm as it was my birthday. It had a decent amount of people around the bar. We were served pretty fast. I went with a "pretty in pink" fast against my better judgement. Something in me told myself I wouldn't like the Prosecco and I was right. The server noticed I wasn't drinking my drink and they offered to make me another drink without Prosecco. This was nice however they put oregano in it. Very interesting. The atmosphere is very alluring and we had a good time all in all. Everywhere you go in Miami the drinks are expensive so I was not surprised. They also add a 20% service fee. I will definitely go back when in Miami! read more

This bar is located inside the fountain bleau resort. You can walk right in. Very open space with white marble floors and a very nice selection of spirits. We tried several different drinks and all of them hit the spot. The staff are very knowledgeable and attentive to your drink requests and questions. Anyone know the secret behind the bow tie desig? I found out from one of the bartenders. I say drop by have a drink or two or three and check it out read more

Wow, the Fontainebleau hotel is where the party and action is in Miami Beach. I couldn't believe how packed it was in here. The Bleau Bar is located right in the main lobby and overlooks the pool area. There were many bartenders working so the wait wasn't too bad for drinks. Cocktails were $16-18 range, but that's the going rate in Miami Beach. It's a great place to start/end your night. Make sure to Uber if you're not staying in the hotel. The lights and pumping music makes it an inviting space. If you're looking for draft beers and and of the best wings, head downstairs to Michael Mina's Pizza and Burger place. Michael Mina's Stripsteak is located to the left of the Bleau Bar. read more

Bleau Bar - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

It's a lobby bar in a hotel. Need I say more? Seriously, it's just a lobby bar, where you wait to meet up with people before you head elsewhere. And I guess it kind of doubles as a nightclub in the evening, with its pink and blue lights. In any case, it's a lobby bar in a pricey hotel, so the drinks are going to be way overpriced, and hopefully they are good. In my case, I ordered a Dirty Grey Goose Martini and it was delicious. They aren't hard to make, but when you experienced plenty of similarly priced terrible ones in Asia, you do appreciate when the bartender can do it right. This place (and the hotel in general) is a great place for people watching. It's worth a stop by if your staying in the hotel or eating in one of the many hotel's restaurants. That is, if you're willing to pay $20 for a drink read more

The Bleau Bar located within Fountainbleau is a neat spot that can get extremely crowded especially during nights that LIV is popping.

Expensive after hour bar with lots of atmosphere in the slow area of town. Not much to see her but was worth the trip.

Bleau Bar finds a way to become more trashy every time I'm there. If it's not somebody passing out in a chair needing an ambulance it's somebody with a small ego trying to start a fight. Bottom line is that this an out of date bar that will continue to go down hill. If you desire class stick with the Surf Club because the Fountainbleau is low class and trying to live off of nostalgia! read more

I love this place I want to go back Gorgeous beautiful people & great drinks love it! Service is always good. Fun & friendly

I'm a huge fan of the Fontainebleu and the Bleau Bar is one reason why. The bartenders are incredibly sociable, engaging, awesome mixology skills and the music is on point. It's a great spot to socialize, network and feel sexy for your night out or just a chill night. The only downfall are the drink prices and can get super crowded. read more

Dear Bleau Bar, You are sophisticated and hip, attracting a lively crowd from all over the hotel. Located right in the middle, its the first thing you see when walking into the Hotel. One barely even notice the entrance to LIV on your right, as you enter the Lobby. Your bar is blue from head to toe, and I like that! Personally, the color blue has always been my favorite, and of course it matches well with the name of your Hotel (which translates to Blue Fountain). There's always something going on here and there's always people to watch. When I was here last Saturday there was a charity event of some sort and we saw a lot of celebrities, including Russell Simmons, who walked right past us. So keep your eyes peeled because you never know who you'll get to see while enjoying your libations at the Bleau Bar! You ROCK Bleau Bar. No matter how crowded the entrance to LIV gets or how ridiculous the bouncers are being, I know you're actually giving them a run for their money. And this is the BEST place to meet your friends if you're actually going to LIV, as we did, or dining at any of the hotel's restaurants. See you 'round, Sabrina* read more

This is an expensive place to lounge, but it is spacious and has nice seating... To paraphrase Macklemore from his hit, "Thrift Shop"... I hit South Beach Miami and they stop in Fountainbleau They be like, "Oh, that Bleau Bar scene - that's hella tight." I'm like, "Yo - that's $10 for a Bottled Water." Plastic Bottle Voss 16.9 ounce edition, let's do some simple addition ten dollars for a bottle of water - that's just some ignorant bitch (shit) I call that getting swindled and pimped (shit) I call that getting tricked by a business That water's not hella dough, plus they charge 18% on top as a service fee And having the same Voss as Walmart for $1.44 in this bar is a hella don't Peep game, come take a look through my telescope Trying to get girls from a brand? Man you hella won't Man you hella won't ...oh, by the way, if you only want water, sometimes they have a free cold water dispenser with cups at the end of the bar near the window, and at worst, walk down towards the Spa and there's a free water fountain... And if you think the water is expensive, you should order some alcohol. I think it's $20 for a beer and $30 for wine. But if you don't care about money, and want a place to lounge it's a nice spot. They are honest here 'tho, a friend of mine left his credit card and open tab, and the next day they had the card held at the concierge for him secure and safe for him to pick up without incident. read more

NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN!!!! I am a regular at this bar, i bring clients here regularly from work and i have witnessed several women being assaulted at and around the bar. When reported to security they informed the girls that hotel guests can "do whatever they want". Last night i was assaulted when a man approached me and kissed me on the face (someone i don't know, who saw me, thought i was attractive and grabbed me and kissed me). I had to push this man away and ask the bartender multiple times to grab security. This has happened to me the week before this and the bartender did nothing. Told me that they have to see an assault themselves to report something... which makes no sense considering there are cameras all over the lounge. Security was useless and blamed me, allowing the man back into the bar where he continued to assault 3 other women. Several men witnessed this as well and tried to report him to security and they were useless. read more

If you get a thrill from going to famous places in the USA and also like to go to swanky and hip bars then you will love the Bleau Bar at the world famous Fontainebleu Hotel in Miami. The hotel is considered a national architectural landmark. It's fun to be in the lobby bar with the blue floor and pink column in the middle of the bar. It's a comfortable lounge. Drinks are fun, moderately priced and taste good. Service is prompt and courteous. The leather couches are so comfortable. I'll come back when I visit Miami again. Worth a trip for a nice before or after dinner drink. read more

This bar is beautiful, with plenty of soft seating along the perimeter.

This is my third time staying at the Fontainebleau hotel and it is a special place. When one stays at the Fontainebleau, one must experience the bleau bar! It's spectacular! Especially at night. We arrived early for check in and decided to start celebrating early! Our server, Angelica, was as friendly as she could be. We discussed wines and drinks. Most importantly, she had been to places I have frequented in my travels like the Buena Vista and the famous door in New Orleans. She is a wonderful bartender. The drinks are very good. Recommend you visit the Bleau Bar at night. Spectacular!!! It's a must in Miami Beach!! Angelica works from opening till 5pm. Ask for her! Will be back. read more

The Bleau Bar is the lobby bar inside the main entrance of the Fountainbleau Hotel, and is really the first thing one sees when entering this place. The first time I'd come to the Fountainbleau post-renovation, I didn't know how I felt about this bar. I mean, you walk into the lobby of this iconic hotel that's been around since the 1950s and see the brass-framed entrance doors and windows, the grand chandeliers overhead, the black and white "bowtie" floor tiles and one can sense that you've just stepped into a special place. Then you look directly ahead and see this modern and in some ways almost futuristic looking lobby bar called the "Bleau Bar" all lit up with colored LED lighting, and it's a complete contrast to the rest of the more traditional and tastefully appointed lobby. Then you order a drink, and the price makes many a SOBE bars' prices look reasonable. That being said, I've been to this bar a few handfuls of times, mostly to meet up with groups of people for dinner at one of the restaurants in the Fountainbleau complex, but more often to come here for a post-dinner drink and to watch "the show". "The Show", of course, is the incredible people watching that starts at about 11:15 as the doors to LIV at the far end of the lobby are about to open. You see the groups of guys who think they're the stuff that every woman must dream about, they walk up to the entrance of LIV all cocky, and are promptly turned away by the doormen because they have no women in their group; You see the very young women who are wearing about 5 layers of makeup and the shortest skirts known to man (sans panties, of course), but who would actually look much more attractive if they'd peel off about 1/2 the makeup. In short, they're dressed and made up in a way that screams "Some guy with an expensive car and bags of cash is gonna take me home tonight and treat me like the pig I'm made up to look like." Then, of course, there are the mother/daughter duos where the mom and daughter are both dressed and made up the same, so the daughter can move in for the kill first, and mom gets all the "spoils" who get turned away by her whelp. In the end, though I still have mixed feelings about the bar, and despise being charged $20 for a mixed drink (though it's generally a strong pour) and may only give the bar itself 3 stars, the people watching and entertainment value when LIV is opening gets a strong 5. Averaged out, we'll give 'er 4 stars overall... read more

Complete and utter luxury in this grand lobby bar. It wouldn't be far-fetched to feel like Miami's celebrity mainstays from the 1940s might easily be waiting for you with a Manhattan in hand. The opulence from the gaudy gold that surrounds you, the light that pours in from the floor to ceiling windows that highlights the pool just beyond and the casual lounging going on immediately transports you to some kind of vacation. Living just a few blocks south of the Fountainbleau, having a drink here, and certainly dropping a decent dime to do so, had me instantly feeling like I was on a weekend furlough. Around me, corporate Midwesterners showed off their lobster tans, Miami playboys seduced equally attractive women, older gentlemen with a yacht likely parked across the street sipped scotch and the commonality between all: visible giddiness. read more
