Horrible service, worse bourbon drink I ever tasted and we tried to kindly tell the bartender and they simply did not give a shit! Response was "oh sorry buddy". Granted it was last call this was unacceptable. Right after we got our night cap a big guy came over and corralled us away from the bar before we even got our drink in our hand. He said you can drink it but at a couch, bar is closed. Extremely tacky. Walk three buildings down to a different hotel for your nightcap. My guess is lack of service as they add the tip of 20% to your bill for you. It's a trend this part of the strip, add tip and give lousy service.... Find a spot further down south and bet you will be happy. This was not my first time here it was my 3rd and last. Le Cote outside by the pool is not like this inside establishment. Managers should be ashamed to have a bartender with a bad attitude. We are not any young bar bopping 20 year old. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

After experiencing the nightclub LIV, I actually had more fun at the Lobby bar of Fontainebleau. The music at the lobby bar is loud enough so that you can pick up the beat and I am not suggesting that everybody was dancing at the lobby bar...but there certainly were some people dancing and a lot of people kind of moving around to the beat. Good enough for me to avoid the high entrance fee at LIV. This bar is incredibly cool, with tranquil shades of blue light coming out of everywhere! Even the floors project shades of soft white light. The drinks are not cheap, but welcome to Miami. You will meet lots of interesting people there, that's for sure! Not only did I meet a really cute girl there, but I experienced some of the most interesting people watching I have ever seen in a Miami bar... and that's saying a lot. I think the highlight of the night was this really dorky looking guy who appeared to be making out with two beautiful women at the bar. It demanded further inquiry, so I went over to take a closer look. Both women had their hands on his legs and at first glance the three of them appeared to be in need of a room, but when I got close enough to hear what was actually going on...it was drama city. Apparently the woman on his left was his sister in law...who was playing games with the poor guy. She was trying to make her sister...the girl on the right (who was this guy's wife), jealous. It worked. The whole thing blew up about the time I came over and introduced myself and complimented the poor guy on his game... both women immediately took their hands off of him and started insulting each other. Wow! He then explained that he was going to be sleeping on the couch tonight and then the two women stormed off. I felt kind of bad actually, but all I did was give a compliment. It kind of reminds me why I am no longer married. They say "Your not complete until your married, but once your married your finished"! Anyway, back to the lobby bar. Lots of comfortable seating everywhere...the white chairs and couches in the perimeter of the bar are quite inviting. All in all I think this a great nightspot to enjoy some adult beverages and good music at a level where you can still have a conversation, meet some interesting people and enjoy the fascinating human zoo we call nightlife here in Miami. Highly recommended! read more

The bar is beautiful and they make the best michelada north of the border. The reason they get 5 stars is because my phone was dying and I asked for the bartender to please charge my phone, she asked me for my ID, seemed strange, she handed me a phone charger I used at my table while I had my drink 3% to 40% in 10 mins the fastest charge I have ever had. Such a nice touch 5 stars all the way read more

Bleau Bar - Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

BEST BLOODY MARY EVER! Post a busy business/pleasure trip the ladies and I met up for brunch and came to the Fontainebleau for brunch (forgot the name of the restaurant) anyhoo, our wait was 20-30 minutes so we moozied on over to the Bleau Bar for a cocktail.. I can say that this Miai trip was filled with Mojitos (yuck) Wine and Bloody Mary's.. Bleau Bar makes the best that I have ever had and it should be for $13. The bartender gave us extra olives so it was fine... Anyhoo, LOVE this place! TRY the cocktails here! read more

As soon as you walk in the hotel you are automatically drawn to this blue illuminated circular bar. Whether you sit and lounge or stand by the bar and have a drink customer service never seems to disappoint. My friend and I coming from the Lila Nikole Swimsuit show at the Eden Rock decided to grab a few cocktails at the Bleau. The bartender with a welcoming smile asks "What are you ladies having?" we decided to leave it up to his expertise, he brought back these two AMAZING martinis, one with raspberry and champagne the second was an apricot or peach martini with cinnamon sugar, both were absolutely delicious. I am not one to finish a drink, I guzzled the entire glass and was left feigning for more! Skip out on LIV and hang at the Bleau its way cooler anyway! read more

Fun place to people-watch if you're on an expense account.

This is probably the best bar for customers looking for great and friendly service in a beautiful atmosphere. The only bar I go to when I am in Miami Beach. If you want 5 star service and great drinks ask for Bianca. Highly recommended! read more

Beautiful people everywhere --- great drinks and fabulous decor. A lot of people on Yelp criticize the prices here --- but you get what you pay for in life. I could understand being critical of the drink prices if the Fontainebleau looked like a hotel badly in need of a remodel. That particular hotel looks amazing and people always flock to it --- celebs and Average Joe's alike --- because of its history and the pricey renovation it went through a while ago. If you consider the appearance and sheer size of the hotel --- I would not expect a drink to be budget-friendly. Drink prices are commensurate with room prices and meal prices in the restaurants. You're paying for more than just a cocktail at the Bleau Bar --- you're paying for an actual experience. For people who just want a cheap cocktail to drink minus all of the bells and whistles --- it's a good idea to find a different bar in Miami Beach. read more

The place is very nice, elegant, lit up with blue lights that make the place look hip(sleek). The bartenders are very fast at taking your orders & giving your drinks. Although we sat down & there was two waitress we didn't have anybody asking if we needed help, its almost as we weren't there, I did complain about her considering I was there for over 30 minutes because she was very attentive with the people next to us which really bothered me. I do recommend this place though because I am sure that wont be the case with everyone. read more

At this expensive bar I would expect a top notch bartender. Ordered a martini and I see her shaking it. A proper martini is ALWAYS stirred not shaken, unless requested by James Bond. Instead my martini was overly diluted with chips of ice in it. Of course this inept service resulted in a $23 charge!! 2 stars for having the glass chilled. read more

Crap. Took forever to get service and just as long to get the drink made and when the drink came the order was wrong. When I said it was wrong she looked at me like I should just accept it. You could see that the waitresses are more content gossiping to each other than doing what a real high end bar waitress does. read more

One of the best people-watching spots in Miami Beach. Yes, you'll pay $17 for a vodka tonic. However, there is a great in-house dj and the bar itself is beautifully decorated. More often than not, a very notable figure will drop by before heading into Liv. The lounge furnishing is incredibly comfortable and allows you to just sit back and appreciate the beauty of the Fountainbleau hotel. I'll be back. read more

Some friends twisted my arm and got me to drive alllllll the way to the beach for some Saturday night fun. After waiting 853,467 hours in line to valet my vehicle and pay way to much money for it, I was finally able to get down and enjoy the Bleau Bar and all it's ambience. It's beautiful, there really is no place nicer in Miami. Yeah, the drinks are expensive and yes, there is always a crowd, not really ever empty, but I guess that's what you're paying for. If you have a chance, you can even walk outside and enjoy the Fontainbleau resort as a whole while you're enjoying your Bleau Bar drinks. We did, walked all the way out to the cabanas and enjoyed the nice weather. And, if you're hungry, there are always restaurant options around. Great place to visit. If you don't know where it is, just look for the chandeliers and the colorful lights. read more

This place is a lobby bar and is a good place to go and be seen. It is right outside of "Liv" so it can also be an excellent place to people watch. Bar staff is smart and efficient. Only negative is some folks just sit there to kill time and take up space without ordering. It is a typical lobby bar otherwise, but I like it! Parking is expensive. read more

Lovely atmosphere. The raspberry martini was phenomenal! The drinks are roughly $14 a piece but worth it.

Great lounge type bar. Beautiful people young and old. Real chill spot. Little pricey but it is Miami Beach.

Beautiful Bar, in a beautiful Hotel! This is a fun place to meet people from all over the world. It is obviously the place to go in Miami.

Lousy selection of good drinks (bourbons - about none) then expect less than 2 ounces. People watching, yes, but you can do that anywhere in this area. The Goldfinger thing (it was filmed here) is a long time ago and the renovation didn't seem to help. My vote - skip it. read more

Hector was cool and provided some cool info on Lincoln Road. The bar is in the main lobby and gets cranking at night around 11pm. Great start before going to LIV. read more

I must admit the place is very nice but the drinks are ridiculously expensive..37 w tax/tip for 2 drinks. Plus I do not want to be surrounded by teenie boppers in high heels which they cannot even walk in & dresses that look like they can fit my 3 year old cousin. Oh & the geezers thinking that they're going to land a supermodel with their Ed Hardy get-up. =) read more

Holy shnikes... $20 a drink??? And then $150 cover for any guy to get into either club. Normally i'd say 1 star since I'm not impressed by clubs and lounges like I used to be, but b/c there was just so many beautiful ladies around I've promoted it to 3 stars... Yeah i'm married, but I ain't dead... it's a look don't touch policy. read more

Food is pretty good, prices are decent, drinks are actually great. It's your traditional food. Staff is friendly. It's a good for a group or to grab a bite. There isn't any music but the games were playing. The environment is pretty good. No senior complaints. read more

ONE WORD: PARTIDO!!!! When you first walk in this hotel this is the first thing you see!!! Me and my girls went here first before we went into LIV on Sunday!!! This bar was awesome, the bartender was cute and they made us awesome drinks!!! There is music playing and beautiful people walking around drinking and lounging... We got some free drink passes and a booth and we had lots of fun there before we went inside the club! I mean it gets kinda packed fast tho but I liked it. The drinks were high tho. I think one shot of Partido Silver was $18 and for Anejo she said $63 lol... CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY other than that i have nothing but good things to say about this place! We were their on Labor Day Weekend.... cya for MLK weekend Bleau Bar and please have some Partido Tequila Thanks inAdvance read more

Three blue cheese stuffed olives in my Vodka martini while I was starving is all it took for me to fall in love with this place. I tried also some of the other concoctions throughout the weekend, and they were all made with love and care by the beautiful female bartenders. This is a great place to hang and chill out and mingle with the people in the neighborhood. I like the hotel lobby here. read more

Great place to people watch. Drinks are VERY expensive, but thats just the way it is at Fontainebleau.

I love this bar! Some interesting characters, like a woman offering me money to talk to her friends, so I guess you can get a job here. jk On the serious side, they make some amazing lychee martinis. A great place to hang out with friends, also nice to have Liv nearby in case you want to dance the night away. read more

I have experienced better! Great place to see a vibrant crowd. However, the drinks and service level could be better. One of those places that is riding the wave! Yup, and the live DJ was kick ass! read more

This bar is phenomenal! Fabulous atmosphere, beautiful people and talented bartenders! I came here for a bachelorette party and let me just say, the bar actually outshined the club in both service and ambiance! Marissa is a bartender here and she is THE best! She makes delicious cocktails and is just the sweetest person you will ever meet! Customer service here is amazing, you will not be disappointed! Even though the bar was packed on a Friday night at 11:00pm she got us our orders so quickly and not a single detail overlooked! I was very impressed! read more

Great open space design. Awesome vibe and totally enjoyable. Why are you reading this - you should already be there toasting something!

Don't waste your time going in Liv the music is better here.

3rd time at the bar and the ambiance is amazing drinks are made to perfection and bartender Christian never ceases to amaze. The monitors and the cranberry vodka were just right . Worth the money! read more

Great staff with friendly attitudes. Upscale and classy ambiance at the hotel. Spa is amazing which provides massages and facials. 5+ pools and a hot jacuzzi. We got a suite in the Tresor Tower with a waterfront view. The room was clean and had a full kitchen. Timely room service and good cleanliness. read more

Great looking bar but the service is really slow and the prices are just insane. Unless you have a nice fat expense account, you will feel like a complete chump when your bill comes (tip included!!) read more

The Bleau Bar is one of the classier places to go to. I have been there on more than several occasions and each time the people and atmosphere were lively and great. I highly recommend to others looking for a nice evening out. read more

Closing at midnight. Only play at hotel. Unbelievable. This is what I get at this property?

I love this swanky lounge and they have very friendly waitresses who look great and thats par for the course in South Beach but they are actually attentive and personable unlike most South Beach hangouts. This place caters obviously to the super rich, not going to lie do not come here expecting anything to be cheap. Yes its over priced but you pay for the ambience and the vibe of the place, whoever decorated this place deserves a medal because its amazing. Every time I go here thou, some cougars are always hitting on me I like the attention and plays into my vanity but geez come on but overall its pretty classy place unlike most South Beach hangouts where every two seconds a girl is asking you to buy them drinks. This is one my favorite South Beach hangouts thou. I will be back when I come back to Miami Beach in the winter. I am back in Ohio for the summer. read more

Hands down, BEST LYCHEE MARTINI EVER. My friends and I decided to stop by here and grab a drink while we were waiting for our luggage to be brought to our rooms. The decor is very chic and trendy and I love the backlights from the bar and floor. Im not a martini drinker/cocktail drinker (Im a beer girl), but because my friend had sad this place made the best lychee martinis, I had to try it. Plus the cool lighting and comfortable chairs and atmosphere definitely made me more inclined to order a cocktail. The drink comes out freshly made tasting like real lychee with a plump lychee toothpicked into it. Taste is awesome, not artifically sweetened like most places and the alcohol is not overpowering like I'm drinking rubbing alcohol. That doesnt mean this drink isnt strong though, because you will feel it. And the best part? Picking up the lychee in the martini after its soaked in your glass and popping it into your mouth. Downside is that one of these will set you back $17, but totally worth it just to try! If youre ever at the fountainebleu you should come here to have a drink and just hang out. My friends and I had like 3 of these each because they were that good and we couldn't venture into trying something else. Too bad I live in California, because I have not had a lychee martini as good as Bleu Bar's since then. read more

Great place to go to see some beautiful people. Hot chicks everywhere on the weekends. Great place to have a cocktail before LIV.

Had a great experience at Bleau thanks to our awesome cocktail waitress Erika, who was so attentive to our group and made sure we well taken care of. Thanks for the great service. We will be back for sure and ask for her. read more

Not sure what the hype is about. It is located in the Fountainbleau conveniently steps from Liv - so people are generally dressed their best. But, the expense of the drink compared to the quality of the drink leaves much to be desired. It's even hard to get the attention of the bartender to get you a drink, and when you do, they throw it together, eagerly grabbing your credit card. Basically, the drinks there are as good as a 12 year old can make them...they stink :( Oh well, they are trying to capitalize on people getting their buzz on before hitting Liv. read more
