SL Miami

Worse experience of my life occurred there last night! I wont recommend to anyone. I live in Miami so I’m able to compare. Bouncer was very friendly. The Boss however immediately evaluated us out from head to toe to then state that we were not allowed to enter because location has reached full capacity. Mind you it was just me (female) and lady friend. Well turns out the following group behind us and others entered with no problem. Not even our promoter could do much about the issue.

Beats any night i’ve been to in NY, cant beat the Miami heat, cool surf shop inspired bar trapped between 2 pools…

Horrible place. REALLY small inside I thought I was going to die. My friend got me in for free but I didn’t want him to run a mission, so me and 5 friends (4 females and one male) tried to get in.
I asked how much general admission was. And he said ONLY bottle service and even then it would be an HOUR wait time. He had NO idea I had a friend who worked there. Just then some blonde little tart came outside. The one that’s «SUPER IMPORTANT» and she let in a bunch of her friends NO problem. I was in shock. I had enough and called my friend and he let me inside. I had the BIGGEST smile on my face as I walked past the power-​mad doorman and the blonde skinny chick with a clipboard. It’s so funny how much POWER they get from that tiny velvet rope.
This place isn’t that nice. It’s next to a hotel and it doesn’t have that South Beach vibe. The way they acted was as if Jay-​Z and Jesus were partying inside. I go inside and… it’s a HOLE in the wall. It’s VERY small. I know for a fact that some reviews here are from people that work there, so… BEWARE!!! There’s a nice bar down the street or a few blocks away is Lincoln Road or Rec Room. MUCH better.
I just wonder… how do tourists get in? I was next to this couple from New Jersey and they said they’d been waiting for 45 mins! to get inside. And it got me thinking… if you don’t have «the hook-​up» and don’t want to spend $ 200 dollars on a bottle they paid $ 20 for wholesale… how do you get in? I asked them to come with me but they declined and went somewhere else. I recommended ANYWHERE on Lincoln Road or Foxhole (BEST MUSIC in MIAMI!).
I don’t work for them or ANY Club for that matter. Beware some of these reviewers.
Try instead:
Rec Room
FoxHole
Lincoln Road– (more chilling than a club).

It’s scene-​y and sexy so it automatically gets four stars. Unfair advantage, I know. The ultra-​small space makes the entire club feel like a private party (with about 283 people you’ve never met). No need to remember the drinks or service; you’re here to remember your friends dancing with you around the polished, elevated loft bar and that great feeling when you realize none of the stress from the week really mattered. Note: SL is remarkably free of the annoying (yet oh so entertaining) underage trainwrecks you might find at some of my other small, secene-​y, sexy clubs (yes, I’m talking about you, Mokai).

Great parties!!!

This club is tiny, especially the dance floor. People were pushing and shoving each other to get by. I was extremely concerned about getting burned by other people’s cigarettes. The music was okay, the DJ was not fantastic. Getting a drink from the bar was impossible because it was so crowded. I’m just glad I did not have to pay to enter.

I went to check out this place w/​a friend that had a couple of bottles one Friday night. We went in through the back so there was no waiting and no cheesy doormen like the usual places in Sobe. I gotta admit though… man! This place is pretty small even by South Beach standards. The people were friendly, the bathroom was clean, only one bar but the pp working at the bar had their A-​game on. I wasn’t too into the DJ that night bc he went from hip-​hop to edm and that just turned me off a bit but eventually after a few bottle of champagne and a few tequila shots, the vibe was great. I’m glad we had a table as it gets pretty crowded. The best part of it was that just about every person there was good looking and so lots of eye candy. I give it ⁴⁄₅ stars bc people smoke in there and for a nonsmoker like me its such a draaaaaag!

This club is JUST what Miami needs. It’s not really a «club» but more of a lounge. I have been to the one in NYC several times and the interior looks very similar to the one in NYC. I loved the layout as you can see the entire club from wherever you are standing which is awesome. The bar is VERY small and can really only fit like 6 people standing across but the bartenders managed with the little space that they were given. The DJ was fantastic and you really can feel like you are in NYC. No douche-​y doormen or people in the club with sunglasses on! Whew! Thank the Lord someone has answered my prayers. Definitely show up at exactly midnight or you will have a hard time getting in. This lounge is the size of a closet so I presume it fills up rather quickly especially if a lot of people have reserved bottle service in advance. I am so happy that a great lounge exists in Miami now!
