Editorial Review for The Clevelander – by Lesley Abravanel

In Short
There's never a dull moment at this essential South Beach hot spot, which is part of the Clevelander Hotel. A cast of visiting characters and spring breakers can't stay away from the outdoor-deco glory and the ultra-potent rum runners. Colorful bartenders, an outdoor cafe, a swimming pool and an indoor sports bar make this place an energetic playpen for Miami barflies and tanned tourists alike.

Insider Tips

When to Go

During the day, it's a casual spot to cool down after hitting the beach; late night, it's a low-key lounge to cool down after hitting South Beach dance clubs.

Parking

Valet parking is never cheap in South Beach and metered parking is tough to come by at night. Consider one of the many parking garages off Washington Avenue.

Used to be a regular but the cover thing made me mad they alway said " no cover, never had one never will" but guess what they have one during peak season for guys. I do like the place it's fun the pool on Saturdays is great, with the hot body contest. Happy hour has good deals probably one of the best on the beach. It is usually overcrowded and over priced at nights. But if you are looking for a place to watch sports, hang out with buddys by the pool, or pick up some drunk spring breakers it's a good time.

Pros: pool, happy hour

Cons: there is a cover, can get overcrowded

This was the first bar my friend and I went to and we definitely stayed awhile! The crowd is a nice blend of people who range in age from 20s to late 30s. Drinks were good- even the strawberry margarita which at most places is pretty awful. Come here w/ friends and expect to make some new ones !! Reminds me of my favorite bar from college, except that this one is a bit more mature and outdoors :)

Pros: fun crowd, large, outdoors, tables, no wait to get in

Cons: smallish dance floor
