Van Dyke Café

Says...

While the Van Dyke pulls in a cafe-society crowd of locals with its vast menu, it also boasts terrific live jazz in its upstairs venue. Downstairs and outside in the evenings, you'll see the usual crowd: hipsters with purebred dogs lapping water under the cafe tables; families with strollers; gorgeous twenty-somethings gathered for a pre- or post- partying bite. But upstairs is a completely different arena. A speakeasy-like ambience reigns, complete with rich fabrics, upholstered seating, and a beautiful oak bar. Sophisticated older couples often gather to enjoy the soothing stylings of quartets and vocalists, all the while nursing cocktails and nibbling on baked brie or prosciutto and melon. An intimate escape from SoBe's crush and the city's neon-and-pastel gloss.
