SOUTH BEACH. Reminiscent of the sleek Rat Pack-inspired lounges that began popping up in Manhattan in the 1950s and '60s, this trendy hotel bar is decorated in a suave mix of cozy wood accents, live tropical plants, cabana-style chairs, and subdued lighting. The skilled bartenders have gained a fair margin of fame for their magnificent martinis, and the lounge itself is reputed to be home to "Miami's Best Happy Hour." Live entertainment is featured most nights, including a few cabaret-style shows from time to time.

DOWNTOWN. Overlooking prestigious Biscayne Bay, the Mandarin Hotel's M-Bar boasts what is billed as Miami's largest selection of martinis – with over 250 varieties on the menu, this claim may just be the gospel truth. The subdued decor in the cozy lounge offers an interesting contrast to the eccentric Mandarin lobby, and fresh-rolled sushi is available for those wanting a bite to eat. Once 5pm rolls around, it's not uncommon to find the bar crowded with everybody from lawyers and bankers to jetsetters and South Beach hipsters.

SOUTH BEACH. Incomparable people-watching is a mainstay at the Rose Bar where, appropriately enough, pink-tinted lighting lets guests view each other through the proverbial rose-colored glasses. This unique touch flatters the appearance-conscious clientele – not that anyone in the dewy-faced bunch needs it! Lounge music sets the groove as international beauties and Hollywood types sip Cosmopolitans and mingle. If hunger rears its head, a fashionable sushi bar sits next door.

SOUTH BEACH. Skybar's glamorous, welcoming spaces act as a magnet for the unabashedly chic and famous. From the gorgeous, dramatic Redroom, activity spills out the back door, into a lush garden, then to a poolside lounge, and finally to the beach itself. Accented with handcrafted lanterns, vibrant textiles, rich beading, tropical foliage and imported furniture, the lounge is designed to seduce – and it succeeds brilliantly. You'll quite possibly lose all sense of time and place.

SOUTH BEACH. Like the hotel itself, the Bar at the Setai Hotel caters to a well-heeled clientele who sip nothing but the best single malts and the finest wines. The stylish and ever-so-sophisticated space is modern and sleek, without being harsh or intimidating, thanks to the abundant use of natural materials like stone and wood. The long, low bar and cozy leather chairs are ideal for lingering over cocktails and with an atmosphere this rare, you never know who you might rub elbows with. The Setai also has an equally classy lounge that offers light meals and an impressive caviar menu, and a gorgeous outdoor bar that's perfect for afternoon lounging or an evening rendezvous.
