    Amazing local bar but looks very fancy because the double fireplace and the beautiful bar. My favorite place to watch UFC fights - the always show the pay per view fights there. The also have what I think is the best burger in Miami !

    Great new cigar lounge and cocktail bar in downtown Miami. Attended the public grand opening on May 5 and was treated to cognac and a great E.P. Carrillo Pledge cigar. Nice comfortable seating areas, TV for sporting events, great bar that also serves food from Michael Beltran's Brasserie Laurel next door (good burger).

    Great new bar and cigar lounge for the area. Very swanky inside. Ultra-low lights and dark woods, leathers, and tones. The bar has an impressive selection of cocktails and spirits. The walk-in humidor is stuffed with cigars for all tastes and preferences. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They will keep your ashtrays empty and your glasses full. This is definitely the place to come and hang out in if you are in the area.

    Very elegant cigar lounge. It feels hidden and private. It's dark inside and it's smaller than I was expecting but it's perfect. It has a large bar and a good layout. I felt like the cigar selection was small, it's in the same area as the members only lockers. But it must be an excellent place because one of their members is Shaq! They have an outdoor seating area outside and the outdoors is nice looking.

    Nice upscale cigar lounge in Downtown Miami. I lived in this area back in 2001-3 and not has it changed. Good selection of cigars and an amazing liquor selection to accompany it. Loved the seating options inside and outside. Recommend!!

    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.

    Oooooo I'm the first to review and I WISH it could've been 5 stars! 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.

Showed us to the bar and got our seats wiped down. The kitchen wasn't serving hot food since we came after 10pm, so we opted for hummus which was soo good! Our drinks were great, and my bf got a cigar which was a great experience. The man who was in that area, was knowledgeable and helped him choose the right one.

The bartenders here are artist. The menu appears like a vintage book with history about each drink. But listen honey when I tell you these cocktails are Amaze! Just try anything or ask.to be surprised. Remy was our server and he is freaking awesome and has skills. He helped us choose our cocktails cause everything was sounding like a vibe. The food options sound delish and the sliders and pizza seemed to be a hit as we saw that mostly. We were here for drinks though and we stuck to it. Only down fall for us is that we aren't cigar smokers, so the room was filled with it as we didn't know its a cigar lounge as well, but to each his own. Come drink eat and ber merry!

The mojito is also phenomenal, I love the fancy ice they add to the cocktail. It makes it 10x better. Parking can be a bit complicated. There is street parking and a lot or parking garage close by.

    Still one of my favorite bars in Downtown Miami. Good happy hour and the cocktails are amazing!…read moreThey recently added new concoctions to the menu just in time for the busy holiday season. Make sure to check them out. Drinks are not watered down but always well-balanced and potent. My go-to is their Old Fashioned, of course, but I have a new favorite called Urban Cowboy. It's made with Maple Bacon Infused Maker's Mark, vanilla cinnamon syrup, bitters and cedar smoke. So good! I also recently tried the Red Flag made with Cazadores Blanco, lime, agave, strawberry-infused Aperol, and topped with bubbles. So refreshing and tasty. You cant go wrong with any of their cocktails. The mixologist knows what they're doing and as a matter of fact, this place has won several competitions during SOBEWFF. It gets packed late at night, especially Friday and Saturday so get there at a decent hour so you grab a table or space by the bar. Will keep coming back!

The music is always on point, and you can tell they really care about the sound and the atmosphere they create. It's the kind of place where you can actually enjoy the music while still being able to talk and hang out. The drinks are great, and the whole space has a cool, laid back energy that keeps us coming back. It's easily become one of our favorite spots to begin a night out in Miami. If you're looking for a chill place with great music, good drinks, and a unique atmosphere, this place is definitely worth checking out.

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.
