First time at MO bar and lounge. They had a nice jazz band as advertised on a Saturday with classy indoor seating. Great service by Pamela and her supporting staff. Well made drinks and beer menu. I enjoyed their sushi rolls; very high quality and fresh sea food. Looking around I saw people equally dressed up and dressed a little casual, but I'd say perhaps they're going for a classier vibe. As it's a hotel, there is an eclectic crowd. Singles, families with kids, and couples old and young. Seemed like all were equally enjoying all the same with no awkwardness. I'd return and recommend.

MO Bar is a hidden gem with spectacular views, excellent service, tasty snacks and an excellent tiramisu martini (seasonal). Be sure to visit while you still can!

The Mandarin Oriental lobby bar is fantastic. The drinks and staff were excellent. Bianca and Star, who waited on us, beautiful ladies w a willingness to make you feel welcome. On Saturday evenings, they have a live Latin jazz band. Fantástico! Will definitely be back when in Miami. Ladies, thank you for your smiles and helpfulness. Hugs for all

The MO Bar at Mandarin Oriental is a top tier cocktail bar. It's going to be a shame when they demolish the hotel to build a new one. Hopefully the new place has something like this. The vibe is upscale yet not austere. The bartenders are all very friendly and the drinks, though expensive, are worth it. On the weekend they frequently have live music which makes this a great spot to hang out. A gem.

Chocolate tart and raspberry lychee tart

If you're looking to have a good time, I highly recommend you visit Mo bar and lounge, which is located in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Brickell key. As soon as you walk into the hotel, you will be welcomed by the beautiful panoramic skyline of Miami and water views. You will be entertained by live music which includes swing jazz piano, contemporary pop, Spanish or Cuban jazz depending on which day and time you visit. The lounge offers a very comfortable, chic and luxurious feel. We ordered a few cocktails which were delicious and dessert to end the night. We ordered the chocolate tart and the raspberry lychee tart which were both delightful. Our server was not as attentive as I would like but nonetheless my friends and I had a wonderful time.

Live music, good drinks , great service and good ambiance. Had a couple of drinks before eating at La Mar and we very much enjoyed it this lounge. The live music was amazing and the drinks although expensive (expected) were pretty awesome. Complementary grapes and snacks are served. Try "his favorite" amazing drink !

The Brickell Key. It's sweet & doesn't even taste like alcohol!

You can definitely catch my full review on MO's Yelp page, but I wanted to leave this review here too since it is specific to the bar & lounge. I made my way down to MO Bar & Lounge after putting my luggage away and wow. Alex and Victor, you guys are nothing short of amazing, but especially Victor who made sure to make my birthday very special. He came to me with recommendations on how to make my stay worthwhile (places to visit, etc) & they also sent over a sweet bday dessert. The rest of the staff were great as well. You can tell they love their jobs and work super hard to provide impeccable service to all customers and guests. The bar made me not want to leave the hotel at all because I just felt like I had everything I needed. Good food, good drinks, plenty of laughs, and making new friends. I won't lie, I felt like I pretty much lived at the bar, lol. I even spent time at the bar on my birthday after having dinner at La Mar (which was splendid) & I was able to catch the pianist perform. He found out it was my birthday and dedicated a special song to me (and also sent over a birthday dessert). A song that was so beautiful & made me feel a few deep emotions (but happy emotions). I'll never forget that, thank you Francisco. I absolutely *love* the piano, so this made my heart incredibly happy! 200% recommended. These guys will take great care of you!

As always the MO Bar (and the rest of the Mandarin) is just perfection. I fell in love with my now-wife here, and we just celebrated our anniversary with our favorite cocktails including truffle blue cheese olives in the martini. Truly a wonderful place.

Visited the Mo Bar for their special happenings for the lunar new year. Even though the Mo Bar is always amazing, my expectations weren't high since Miami (particularly Brickell) isn't always the best with Asian traditions. But they really did a beautiful job making it festive! When we came in, they had a beautiful "wishing tree" and lanterns. My friends and I were able to write and hang our wishes on the tree. They also had a special musical duo playing beautifully on the violin and piano. The special food and drinks they had were worth checking out - the lamb dumplings were outstanding and our special lunar new year drinks had our crowd pulling out their phones to video the impressive dry ice dragon! Definitely will be back next year to celebrate lunar new year at the Mandarin!

Complimentary dessert
Grace S.

Five stars for sure! This is the definition of a resto-lounge! Went for a birthday meet up. The waiter immediately brought us a complimentary birthday dessert (before we ate, but that's okay!). The wait staff literally bend down on their knees to take your order! The drinks are beautiful to look and amazing to eat. Salmon roll and seaweed salad was my fave! They serve mainly appetizer type dishes but with a couple of them you can absolutely make a filling meal. On the weekends they have a live band that plays a great upbeat variety of tunes - including great reggae covers! If you are looking for a place where you can get up and dance (or watch others) this is a great spot. It is by no means a club but people do pop up and dance when they feel the vibe! The crowd was surprisingly local which we appreciated! Not too crowded, just right. A very nice clientele as well. Check out the video to see the scene/action!

Brickell Key cocktail
Adam B.

One of the great hotel bars in the U.S. It occupies an entire end of the Mandarin Oriental lobby and is surrounding by a sort of bamboo "fence" that defines the space. There are lots of tables and several seats at the bar itself. Many of the tables have nifty little knickknacks on them that look like sea urchins. The space benefits from the impossibly high ceilings with giant windows behind the bar that allow for a spectacular vista of downtown Miami and the bay. The servers are terrific and when you order a vodka tonic, it comes with an individual bottle of juniper-flavored tonic water. They also have a nice food menu and I became addicted to the spicy crunchy tuna roll. The specialty drinks are also expertly made and cover a huge variety of styles and ingredients.

Vodka Gimlet ... seriously delish
Denise D.

Ohhhh well !!!! Let me tell you the drinks here were FABULOUS ( and I say that with a singing tone ) the place is of course gorgeous and the service was amazing !! Our waitress was hysterical and friendly and attentive!! Along with our drinks we got some amazing happy hour food that I think I have dreams about LOL there was short rib sliders that were so tender and tasty we got some tacos that were also delicious and we got salmon hand roll and wow I'm not sure which I liked best but maybe for me the sliders or maybe it was my cocktail I'm not sure but it was a great time so don't miss out on the happy hour !!!

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.

The biggest thing for me was the overall energy and engagement from the staff. I'm naturally a pretty social and engaged person, especially when I'm sitting at a bar, and I made an effort to interact with the bartenders. I just didn't really feel that same engagement coming back. Nobody was necessarily rude or disrespectful--it just felt disconnected, and the energy was a little strange to me. I also didn't realize until I tried to pay that the bar doesn't accept cash. Maybe that was posted somewhere and I missed it, and once they told me, it wasn't a big deal. But little things like that, combined with the overall interaction, affected the experience. Another thing I didn't realize until receiving my check was that gratuity was already included. I wasn't verbally told about it, and I personally didn't see it disclosed anywhere beforehand. From my understanding, an automatic gratuity or service charge is required to be disclosed to the guest before the purchase, not something they should only discover when they receive the check. Maybe there was a notice somewhere that I missed, so I'm not saying there wasn't one, but I definitely wasn't aware of it. I think that's an important thing for guests to know upfront, especially because someone could easily add another tip without realizing gratuity was already included. Ironically, the one person I genuinely connected with and had a good conversation with was another guest at the bar, not a member of the staff. That interaction actually helped make my time there more enjoyable. For me, hospitality is about more than serving a drink. Especially when someone is clearly open, friendly, and trying to engage, that's an easy opportunity to create a connection and turn a first-time guest into someone who wants to come back. I felt like I gave plenty of opportunities for that interaction, but it just never really happened. I still had a good time because I can have a good time pretty much anywhere, and nothing happened that would make me say Lost Boys is a bad bar. It just didn't feel like the staff cared much about enhancing the experience beyond serving the drinks. So four stars because I respect what the place is and can see why it works as a neighborhood bar. It just didn't give me a reason to come back, and personally, I don't think I would.

Over under has become a favorite spot for me…read more Most Wednesdays, you'll find my bestie and I here for karaoke usually after enough tequila to convince ourselves we sound significantly better than we do. (Also, they do $3 shots) But somewhere along the way, it stopped being just our karaoke spot. It's the place you can walk into on a completely random night, grab a burger and a pile of those heavenly, crispy, perfect, always-fresh fries, catch the oyster special, have a drink at the bar and somehow end up staying much longer than you planned. Nothing about it tries too hard. And maybe that's exactly why everyone loves it. It's a little divey, a little chaotic, always familiar, and somehow it never misses. At this point, we don't really ask "Should we go to Over Under?" We just end up at Over Under.

Like any Miami-ite, I'm always looking to soak up all the cultural accoutrements the Magic City has…read moreto offer: food trucks, eating halls, sports events, car meet-ups, that one art museum in downtown I forget its name. Anywayssss, when I caught the winds that there was a new sound bar in downtown, I NEEDED to be there. The concept of the sound bar is some type of Asian thing, I don't really know. But where in Asia there might be a few monks sitting around in silence listening to gongs or whatever, Miami goes BIG! Finding parking in downtown Miami on a Saturday is virtually impossible unless you bribe a valet servant with cash. So that's what I did. My ladyfriend and I arrived early to the sound bar, and there was already a hearty swarm of brodents and thots lined up to get in. Some crack head outside was shouting about IPA's. I told the door servant that I knew the DJ or something like that, and he let us right in. Once inside, the bar has that edgy big city, small hallway type of vibe. You could barely stand around in there, let alone get to the bar to order a drink. The mix of flapping gums and mixologists concocting cocktails made for a cacophonous distraction from the actual "music" we were there to "listen" to. My ladyfriend and I ducked out across the street to Black Market Miami Bar where the game was on and you could actually order a drink that didn't cost $50+. After a few libations, we headed back to Miami Sound Machine Bar (they need to put 'Miami' in every bar's name down here in case you forget where you are). There was a weird looking guy playing depressing vinyls with singing in different languages. I was more in the mood for something upbeat and groovy like salsa or merengue that I could dance to with my girls. Although I did hear the 12" Andrew Weatherall remix of Happy Mondays "Hallelujah" at some point, a staple at the Haçienda nightclub in Manchester - an institution that shook the music world and changed club culture forever. The head servant at the bar looked like Nirvana (yes, one man looking like a whole band). He was jaded and rude. I don't blame him! As the night wore on, the crowd got larger and more deplorable, and the room got smaller and smaller. I got stuck in an awkward conversation waiting to use the bathroom. I don't think sound bars are for me. Pros: The bar across the street had really fair drink prices, and the servants are polite and efficient. Cons: the ratchet yuppies that inhabit Miami's nightlife, always on the prowl to ruin a subculture with their tackiness.

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.

I don't drink alcohol anymore, but my friends were able to get attention pretty quickly from the bartenders. There was a section there where I felt like I was being packed like sardines, but once we moved we were in comfortable spot. My feet started killing me since I wore heels the whole night, so to my delight, I found out there was an area to sit, and that pretty much saved my feet from falling off. The rooftop is such a vibe.

It was thee perfect spot for photos, and we took advantage of it and had our mini photoshoot there on the spot. I was rather surprised that this place started to shut down by 2 am, I had the impression that FL goes until 5 in the morning, but it was no big deal since we were starting to wind our evening down anyways.
