SOUTH BEACH. The glitz and glamour of Miami is intoxicating, but sometimes locals and visitors want to relax in a place that is free of pretension. Escape the see-and-be-seen mentality at this casually elegant hangout, where late-night cocktails are all the rage. The mellow decor, friendly staff, lengthy drinks list and great music have made this a favorite among the more laid-back, South Beach regulars who are proud to say they are too cool to be trendy. As the name suggests, the entire bar is decked out in electric blue paint and decor. Hot DJs are often on hand, playing a mix of deep house and soul.
