Sky Bar at the Shore Club

From the same team who created Sky Bar in LA, this SoBe venue has indoor and outdoor spaces. We love the Garden Red Room, a tropically landscaped outdoor living room where you can lounge on floor cushions and sip Passionata cocktails by the light of the hurricane lamps with the night sky for a ceiling. Open until 2am, Sun–Wed; until 3am, Thurs–Sat. 7pm–5am
