Absolutely the worse service for drinks and eats. Security folks at the entrance having people lift their shirts (woman included) above their belly is laughable. Meanwhile you could have a weapon in your back or ankle and never have it detected. Security folks are a joke and rude to customers. Waitress for our table during a slow time was horrible, meanwhile, you have three bartenders all on their cell phones while customers are waiting to be served. The automatic built-in tip only results in piss poor service because they don't have to truly work for their tips. I wouldn't go back to this hole if I were paid. read more

I do recommend but our server on the other hand was too much . He followed us outside and said he should have received more of a tip . We were generous as we both work in the service industry. Our drinks , food and hookah were good. Atmosphere was fun just a little slow due to it being a Sunday night read more

Clevelander - Watermelon mojitos and watermelon hookah - Sports Bars Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

Been to this place twice and had great experiences both times. Got bottle service along with hookah. The hostess was very nice to us and took care of us. Ambience is great. Music is loud and bumping, bright colors everywhere with the palm trees and the pool in the middle. They played house music and hip hop. Staple of Miami Beach. Highly recommended. read more

I was craving a piece of key lime pie and was happy to see they had a "famous" key lime pie on the menu. I took a seat at the bar and asked the bartender if they have key lime pie. She nodded yes, so I ordered a beer and a piece of key lime pie. As she was pouring the beer, she says, "We don't have key lime pie." I said are you sure, the menu outside says you do. She squished her forehead and shook her head, no key lime pie. I told her sorry, that's why I stopped and left her holding a poured beer as I walked out. read more

The ladies working the front desk Michelle and Victoria are awesome. Michelle allwed me to check out late so that i could attend a virtual business call on the day I checked out. Location is great, right acroas from beach and walking distance to everything. Hotel always smells good. read more

everything was pretty good the desk the employees everybody was on point on staff good job I will come back and stay again and again, and the front desk clerk Victoria was very awesome. She with a smile and every time we see her she had a smile on her face. She did a very awesome very much. And the food was very awesome. read more

The atmosphere was great, really fun vibe from the DJ and lights. The bouncers were super nice as we came in. But unfortunately on a slower evening the 2 bartenders took an excessively long time to get to me and my sister to get drinks. So much so that we were skipped over as new people kept coming and going from the bar. A man had even left the bar without a drink because they took so long to get to him. After getting our drinks, we sat at a high top table to dance and drink. Great music. But probably about 30 minutes in a server came over and was trying to rudely explain that we couldn't sit there unless we ordered through her. At this point we already had drinks and weren't ready for another. So we got up to dance next to the tables instead. We thought problem solved. But nope, then she came over and started dragging a table directly at us without even saying anything or asking us to politely move. Loved the overall vibe, but really thought the service could've been significantly better. read more

Victoria was an amazing host.... Definitely recommend this place especially seeing an amazing host like Victoria..... I will definitely be returning soon read more

Hands down I would definitely recommend this hotel. Two hotel attendees who were the ABSOLUTE BEST Krissy and Michelle. Krissy took great care of me and my 2 girls as we arrived at 1:30am on a late flight. Michelle welcomed us with strawberry daiquiris. And Krissy was so nice to us as we returned from our cruise 4 days later, she allowed us to keep out luggages there for 3hrs until it was time for us to head to the airport....Michelle & Krissy ARE THE BEST!...I will definitely stay at the Clevelander again.​ read more

We stayed at this hotel and also attempted to hang out at the bar/pool. The hotel room is small & cozy but it does the trick and was clean. The front desk hotel staff were so rude. They were very busy the day we came though so we tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. Now... the pool staff is just ridiculous. They all tell you a different story regarding the cover charge and where you can sit. Also they automatically charge you 20% tip on your bill so none of their servers try. Overall, wouldn't recommend. read more

My husband and I stayed at the clevander from Thursday to Monday and each time we came to enjoy the bar and food we were served by Renata. Ms.Renata is a jewel she always had a smile on her face and was very friendly. She even has us considering moving to Miami. If you keep people like Renata on your team it is a great asset to your establishment. She's attentive and makes sure that you are having a great day. I'm definitely going home satisfied because of her service. Thank you Clevander and big thanks to Renata read more

Bar review only. My friends and I came here on a busy Saturday night because most places were packed and the Clevelander had no line. We had to pay a $10/pp cover which seemed steep. I really enjoyed the open air bar right on Ocean Drive. There are 2 bars and a dance floor with a Dj that was playing music that was fun to dance to. The bartenders were not friendly and at one point the female was blatantly ignoring my friend even though she was not drunk and had done nothing wrong. We enjoyed their Famous Frozens, since they were a perfect refresher on a hot night. I had the Raging Bull which is New Amsterdam vodka blended with Red Bull. You can add a floater (shot) on top for an extra $2. I give them props for the drinks being strong. The Clevelander is not a bad place to stop in and hang out for a while, if you don't expect friendly service. read more

We have made lemonade out of lemons!! Hotel is super old, super outdated and super sad in every way possible!! We decided to make the best out of our five night stay and make our room a cute boutique look while spending under $200... so worth it!!! It's a great reminder that when life gives you lemons (this hotel is a lemon) you can make delish lemonade! Check out our before and after photos below!! read more

Renata best bartended in Miami super friendly best drinks around and amazing to look at

Renata was such a QUEEN love her so much. Will definitely be coming back. She treated us like besties. Please go!!!

great central location right across from the beach. Michelle at reception was so welcoming and helpful

It's been a while since I've been at The Clevelander, and some things never change (in a good way.) You can always count on their being a great vibe, music playing, and drinks flowing here. My BF and I came for lunch on a Thursday afternoon around 4pm. Luckily, happy hour was underway (4-7pm) and included drinks and certain bites. I opted for a Miami Vice and he got an Electric Lemonade (both $7 on HH!) and we also got the calamari and (chicken) Street tacos. These were on the HH menu so $10 a piece and very delicious! As if that wasn't enough we ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich and BBQ Chicken Pizza. I was pretty impressed at how well the food was for a place infamous for being a hot spot. Oftentimes places will slack in one department, and focus on others, but that was not the place during our visit. Andrew was our server and from the moment we walked in he was pleasant, cheerful, and helped us pick drinks bc there were so many tempting options. We switched to a margarita pitcher after ($35 and a Thursday special) and were not disappointed. read more

Great vibes and if you get here, ask for Stephanie! She was awesome and gave us great recommendations. Food and drinks were delicious. You can't go wrong with a mega or a pitcher! read more

Mitchell is great. She is really helpful. Very organized and sweet. will visit again.

This place is probably one of the most notable places on Ocean Bar. It's a large outdoor eatery/outdoor club located in the heart of South Beach. I remember years back walking by this place and seeing a huge party going on, lots of people in the pool, music blasting--- and this was during the daytime! I made it a point of emphasis to come here on my most recent visit to Miami. The left side was for people who wanted to attend the club portion and the right side was patrons who wanted to eat. I had the perfect seat which wasn't exactly Street level, but still was able to people watch and enjoy the sights. The service was ok, the waitress wasn't very attentive and would disappear for long periods of time. The food was ok, and nothing spectacular, but that was fine. I didn't exactly come here and expect to be blown away by their food. We ordered a burger and fries and steak with potatoes and asparagus. Despite the food being average at best; I still had a great time, enjoyed the sights, the music, and overall atmosphere. I also forgot my credit card after I paid my bill here-- I called the next afternoon, they informed me they did have my card and I could retrieve from the front desk of the hotel-- disaster averted by locating my card while on vacation. In short, I believe if you're in the South Beach area, this is a must do on one evening during your stay. read more

This is the place to be if you're looking for a great, outdoor, Miami Beach party. Whether you're day drinking or partying at night, the Clevelander is centralized on the Miami Beach strip and is probably the best place to party without getting dressed up. Keep in mind, prices for drinks are overpriced and your bill can rack up pretty quickly. Customer service was pretty good for the most part. We only encountered one rude server. However the manager was incredibly sweet, immediately apologized and made up for the rude customer service by offering us free shots and made sure we were treated nicely the rest of our weekend. The hotel itself was not very impressive. It is an older hotel with not a lot to offer on the inside. The rooms are small but clean. If you're on the strip to party, then the rooms won't bother you because you'll be out and about and have the convenience of being in the middle of the action. Again, you're paying for location not for quality. read more

My service by Michelle and the rest of the staff was lovely. I always stay at clevelander when I'm on south beach. I like the atmospher, location and proximity to the beach. thanks Michelle and staff for everythin! C read more

You don't have to stay at the hotel to go to this bar. You can enter from the beach side. There is no charge to get in, but be advised. There is a 21% SURCHARGE! Don't go on a windy day, or a low temperature day. It just takes away from the experience. The 16oz drinks are $17, the 45oz drinks are $40, and if you add a floater, it's $2. You can have a sample of the drink you want. To me, the sample taste better than the main drink. I almost paid $40 altogether for a Miami Vice, & a Colado drink. They were very weak. Taste more like juice than anything. I was disappointed! read more

Friends and I were visiting Miami and stumbled across The Clevelander the last night we were in town. It was a Wednesday night and while there was a good number of people out and about, several other establishments nearby were closing up and we were in the mood for some fun. There wasn't a cover here and it looked like a poppin' spot, so we went with it. After having our ID's checked, we went straight to the bar and ordered a round of drinks. Two beers and two liquor drinks plus tip ended us around seventy bucks. I was caught off guard at first and then I remembered where I was. We decided to grab a small hightop table near the dance floor and got lost in good conversation and great music. It didn't take long before we were all on the dance floor. We never got in the pool, but it was still a site to see and definitely set the mood. We stuck around for about an hour or two before adventuring off to other spots. I definitely glad that we checked it out and I would go back as long as that was the mood I was in. Pro tip - I hear the happy hour is where it's at! If you're in the area, definitely look that up. Have fun!! read more

This review is for the bar and not for the hotel. I was here on a weeknight. It wasn't terribly packed, although there was no games on. I was always curious about the bar (and hotel) since ESPN's Highly Questionable is aired out of the hotel - one of the reasons you see the ESPN Studios screen. They have mutliple bars outside along with a stage to dance and a pool. The bartenders were pretty nice and ended up giving me and my buddy a free daiquiri near the end of the night. All in all, I'd probably come back here maybe if I'm back in Miami and there's a major game. There's also an indoor bar and rooftop bar worth mentioning, even though I haven't been to either. read more

I did a google search of adults only hotels in South Beach and the Clevelander came up. I went through the whole website, read everything about it and thought this may work for us. I paid $463 for a Rockstar Suite for our anniversary. When we arrived all the streets around the hotel were closed and they had no valet. We sclepped our luggage down 10th to Ocean Avenue to checkin. We paid $60 for parking in a garage around the corner. When we checked in we were charged an addl $10 that was apparently left off when I originally booked the room. Ok. Our room was over the pool. I did not request this. Nowhere on the website did it say that music plays constantly at ridiculous volumes all night. Thank God for AirPods and white noise machines because otherwise we would be rocking and crying ourselves to sleep all night. We decided to humor ourselves and go to the on-site bar and paid $19 a piece for watered down margaritas that were supposed to be doubles. All in all horrible experience. There were several light bulbs out, flashing lights, a popping sound from the TV every time we changed the channel, and no fridge in the room. There weren't even plastic cups for water. Unless you like continuous loud music and zero amenities, I strongly discourage this hotel. read more

Trust if you stay here, you don't need to go far for anything else!! Stayed October month end and the service was amazing all around, love the entire layout and apart from the ambiance nothing beats the location. Drinks was smooth didn't get to try the food due to being on the go. Location is everything!! read more

stayed here late may of 2021 for a bachelorette - overall, the rooms were small but the location of the hotel is prime! it was near everything we wanted to experience (swizzle, versace villa, palace, hyde, the beach) we thought there would be "pool parties" but the pool was filthy and trash was always floating in it and never cleaned the bar was fun though and the food was your average bar food. definitely stay here if you want to be in a central location of miami beach but i wouldn't come here to drink, there's definitely more fun bars/pool bars in the area read more

Such a great bar/club. Room to just sit and drink or dance! My boyfriend and I went here after walking on the strip and we just followed the music I was free but he paid $10 (which is standard) The pina colada's are amazing!!! I had two and i added a floater (extra shot) with each He had a cucumber drink and something else i can't remember but i know he liked both! We kept the cups as souvenirs considering each drink was about $15 each Had a great time with great music!!! read more

Great place by the beach to grab drinks. We have not tried the food here but have been here twice now for drinks alone. They have a great bar setup which at night has a dj and they have sound drink specials especially for Miami Beach. $25 pitchers, great deal based on the area. Service overall was good as well! They tend to get busy, get there early to grab a table. read more

This is one of the main attraction in Miami. Their outdoor pool bar with loud music draws attention to all pedestrians that walk up and down ocean drive. Food is pretty good here and so is their cocktails. Good spot for those who like to dance. If you plan on staying at this hotel plan on no sleep. Since they crank the music from 11a-5a. But they do have their sisters hotel. Essex House & Stiles. And complimentary breakfast. Miami vice frozen - so good Chicken tacos - good Cobb salads - too salty , too much blue cheese Chicken tenders - ok Burger - good read more

Reasons why we hated our stay on the first night: -the rooms were tiny as shit -NO FRIDGE -A "display" TV aka they were just for show and didn't work -Toddler beds -no drawers (wtf?) -bathroom doors make it visible enough to see the person -nowhere to store suitcases besides the floor I guess I forgot to read the fine print that says that we need to bring our own mini fridge & drawers read more
