stillpartyin Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Hey Miami, coming down last week of September. Havent been down for year and a half. I'd appreciate if someone could name some good restaurants that become cool lounges/clubs at night. Last time we were down we hit Rumi and Opium. Are those still good? Money isnt really a concern.. just looking for a place where we can eat and then hang out afterward. Also, what other non-Crobar type of clubs are hot now? We're staying at the Shore Club so of course we'll hit Mynt.. What else?Big NY thanks in advance!Stillpartyin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickamikaze Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 I don't think Mynt will be reopened yet - closed for remodeling. Darn what shame.Go to Nerve, Luna, Life, Space34, LimeBar, Opium/ Prive, Jazid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erickamikaze Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 They just bought the old Level building and are calling the new club "Mansion" well thats the rumors. Opium will still be open when you are here.The girls in the pcitures below are from Prive last Sat. They were NICE:tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 What do they know. Opium is open for the forseeable future. BTW, check out La Factoria, attached to Opium, it's a fantastic restaurant at a reasonable price. I know money isn't a concern, but still, you can save some money for drinks and such later on.

I second this opinion. This is my fave restaurant on SOBE. Reasonable priced, fabulous food, great atmosphere and great service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babbo Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 check out The Shore club as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macboy Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Dining:You're at the Shore Club, so you might as well go downstairs and eat at Nobu. Then hang out at Skybar for a couple of drinks before heading out. I mean, you're already there, you might as well make use of it. I heard Ago (also inside Shore) got so-so reviews. Bond St. is next door at Townhouse. Talula recently opened across the street from Nerve. Rumi on Lincoln. Factoria, then Shoji just down the street from it are also great bets.

The owner's name is "Esi" (like a-c but "a" is very short), ask him or his brother "Ali" for 20% discount card (forever) for food and drinks.La Factoria is good place to hang out (after 11:00 PM) from Thursday to Sunday.I live right across the street.

La Piaggia is on the opposite side of Nikki Beach, on South Pointe. Food is good but very pricey....french cuisine....blah!...oh! and I left out a small detail ..you can't get in unless you are invited cuz it's private.

francismhwhite Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 If money isnt an issue and you want a real classy place then you have to spend one night at the Delano Hotel. Eat at the Blue Door then lounge out at the Rose Bar. Real nice atmosphere real unique. For reservations:(305)674-6400 (305)672-2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaminice Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Also, do not forget "Casa Tua" and "Barton G". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickamikaze Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 try Burger King on Alton and Miami subs on Washington ave.But in all seriousness, Next Cafe on Lincoln Rd. is a great place. Huge portions for reasonable. great for a relaxing lunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillpartyin Posted September 16 Author Report Share Posted September 16 i'm confused.. is the restaurant attached to Opium called Prive or Factoria? also, can you get right into the club at Opium from dinner or are they completely seperate...we're looking for places where we can have dinner and then hang out afterward.. We're staying at the Shore Club and i know they might have some pull for us, but you know how it can be when 5 guys try to get into places without knowing somebody.and oh, i made a mistake.. we're going down end of October, not September.. thanks everyone for the suggestions.

I have been dying to go to Touch.....On Sunday nights, Van Dyks has a live brazilian Jazz band that is incredible for a slightly different feel.

CrzyC Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 La Factoria is separate from Opiumbut somehow the owners/managers are connected. I cant remember how but I'm sure Pod can fill us in on this one. Entrees range from $10-30 and there is a yummy steak sandwich for only $8. Drinks are strong and reasonable. They serve allkinds of food...salad, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, steak..all yummy.You can sit outside and judge when you want to get in line for Opium based on the crowd. Lots of fun and I guarantee you go back a 2nd time.If you get a waiter named Dimitri, tell him Carisa and Manny from LA sent you. But just make sure he understands what you order...make him repeat it back to you. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pod Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Oh we had a blast watching the schleps go into Opium that Saturday...they had some singles party in Privé, and the type of people going in were just plain funny. Nexxt is fun, but damn the portions are huge!I take it you are Carisa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not from LA (I live in Boca) but every time my friend Manny (from LA) comes in town we eat there at least twice. I have yet to go to Opium but I love to watch the crowd gather and see the attitudes grow. LOLI was at La Factoria when The Hilton Sisters were at Opium, that crowd was ridiculous. LOLLooking forward to meeting you at Nerve on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaminice Posted September 16 Report Share Posted September 16 Originally posted by CrzyC La Factoria is separate from Opiumbut somehow the owners/managers are connected. Nope, La Factoria owners have nothing to do with Opium/Prive owners.PS: See my previous post in this topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opium has its own restaurant at second floor (next by Prive room).The restaurant called "La Factoria" is on street level and next by the Opium/Prive complex.The only way for 5 guys (w/o knowing anybody at the door) to get in Opium/Prive complex is to go earlier (around 11ish) and have a table.Or you call Opium to make a dinner reservation for 5 people.PS: If you are staying in Shore Club you can also have dinner at Nobu and afterwards hang out at Skybar.
