River Lounge
At the Epic Hotel: 270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami; 305.424.5226

Sometimes it's all about the view, whether it's the window seat of an airplane, a front-and-center spot at a finer gentleman's club, or a back-row slot at the company team-building meeting. For a place whose view lets you see...everything, hit River Lounge at the Epic Hotel. A two level
Epic hotel has been upping the ante in Miami nightlife, and this is the clincher. A stunning high ceilinged, atrium-type space with 30-foot bay windows overlooking the river and Brickell's beautiful towers, deep espresso wooden floors, huge neutral-hued columns, and loungey sets of small tables and chairs on the first floor, with zebra-print carpeting and modern leather couches in the upstairs loft space. Patio seating is also an option. The drink menu is awesome: modern, fruity twists on classics like the Manhattan, as well as inventive stuff.
The brainchild of Sunset Entertainment Group’s dynamic duo Chris Breed and Michael Gruber, it’s no doubt that River Lounge will be one of Miami’s A-list favorites. Open Wednesday through Saturday. Please call to check on special events.
