More honorable to light $300 on fire, than to hand it over to these incompetent posers.

by metroselu

Alright boys and girls - he's how to create your own B.E.D. adventure at home, and probably retain your pride in doing so.

(1) Pick up a few futons, the more indecipherable body fluid stains on them the better.

(2) Pick up a few big pilos and some flowy material, hang it from the cieling.

(3) Buy some mojito mix ( yes, MIX), and throw in some mint leaves. Don't worry about mashing up the leaves. The patrons won't know the difference - its not like we're in south florida, 90 miles from Cuba.

(4) Order in some Chili's appetizers. Make sure you set them out so that when you eat them, they're cold.

(5) Hire in a few scantilly clad strippers to serve you. Make sure they're not overly attentive or entirely interested in serving you.

(6) Pull out approximately $300 from your wallet and light it on fire.

You'll probably get more satisfaction following these steps than giving 1 cent of your cash to the incompetent posers at B.E.D. Take your cash, and move on.... this place $ucks.

• Pros: This restaurant is good kindle. What a great place to tear down and start over.
• Cons: Too many...not patient enough to write them here.

Great Local Spot on the Beach - New Owners and Scene

by alexander12345

I went to BED this past Saturday after reading numerous articles on the new owners and there concepts. WOW, the new ownership (local guys from Miami Beach I think) really have made some great changes.

They must have removed a few beds and added an ultra VIP booth area that is raised up above the other BED?s. The service was perfect and the new tapas food menu was enticing. I especially enjoyed the tuna tartar and lamb chops!! After dinner my girlfriend and all her friends watched as VH1 filmed the local Miami scene inside!

I would recommend coming in for dinner before the nightlife part of the evening begins, this way you guarantee yourself entrance into what becomes a very popular local night club once again!! GREAT TIME!! BED?s Back!!!

• Pros: Local Scene, New Owners & Menu, Fun Scene

A Great Night

by rlmignosa

Went there for dinner to check it out. My group was a bit older (40ish)....Had a great meal...tapas...very well prepared and presented by really nice looking girls that were actually friendly and really good at what they do. Decided to stay and watch the evening build and build and build. We danced and drank the night away. Best night in South Beach.

• Pros: Food and Music

Shady

by funtimesnc

Went to B.E.D. during spring break. First off there is a $20 cover charge to get in. Then the drinks are mad expensive. All the guys inside were really shady (not that there were too many because they don't let them in). Not to mention a couple getting it on in the back, they were kicked out but it was nasty. The dancing was okay but wasn't worth the crazy cover.

• Pros: plenty of places to sit or lay down
• Cons: cover charge of 20 bucks, shady guys

WORSE BAR IN SOUTH BEACH

by jvu

B.E.D. was so ridiculous that i have made a point to come back from my vacation in south beach and write my first review on citysearch. i don't understand what all the hype is about. the drinks are too expensive, the bouncers are snobby and rude, the d.j. sucked, and the place in general was not hoppin. to top it off, they have false advertisement. LADIES LISTEN UP. their whole "ladies get free dinner after 10pm on monday nights" is NOT TRUE. as advertised, we called ahead to put our names on the guest list and got there 30 minutes early (i guess they need this false advertisement to just get people to come out). the bouncer showed up 30 minutes late...so we were waiting an hour. then, he starts letting in only his friends, 5'10" blondes, and groups that were willing to pay $250 for a bottle - $250 for a bottle like absolute! he also totally ignored everyone asking about the reservations and ladies night. when we finally got in, the place was TINY with a typical bar scene from any bar you could go to, except half the people there had sticks up their @sses. we had a great time the rest of our stay in south beach at mansion, cameo, and prive where we were treated like real people. we even got to party V.I.P. style with some NFL players in town for memorial day weekend. so, if you're a 5'10" model, have $250 to throw away on a crappy bottle, and just want to sit on your bum in an oversized bed all night, go to B.E.D. but if you're a gal wanting to have fun, dance, and meet new people, i suggest avoiding this place at all costs.

• Pros: none
• Cons: EVERYTHING

TRUST SLEEPY'S F**K BED!!!!!

by ezeyez

I'm a reservations manager for one of the trendiest restaurants in NYC and never before I have I been subjected to such disgusting customer service! I tried to patronize this "HOT" spot while vacationing in Sth Beach. Got dressed to the nines...popped all the gold and platimum cards in the wallet...jumped in the convertible and headed over to MATTRESS for a night of fun only to be met by MANNY AND HIS 2 lill ball sucking kunty dwarfs. He works on Washington because you would never cut it on 14th Street...he wouldn't even be able to cut it on 27th Street where NY CLUBS go to DIE...maybe he can run the door at Bungalow 8 when Amy Sacco leaves it to the bums! This is exactly why you guys are being RUN OUT of NY...you've forgotten the 1st rule in this business...BEING HOSPITABLE...is Hospitality! Don't worry I burned rubber and went back to the Delano ordered a bottle of Krug and drank until my heart was content...guess my money is only good in Sth Fla from May 25th - May 28th!

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Go to Mynt or Prive instead

THIS PLACE STINKS!!

by drsusanl

i went here for dinner and this place is horrible. it's difficult to get a reservation and then when you get there, everyone from the bouncer to the host to the waitress is rude and snobby. you also have to share your bed with strangers unless you're a big group and you're forced to order an entree a person with an 18% mandatory tip for bad service. we ordered tap water and our waitress brought some special bottle of water and said it was tap water so we could serve ourselves. then when the bill came we were charged $8 for the water! we tried to complain but the waitress said that we already drank the water and there was nothing that could be done about it. the manager didn't care either. the employees there act like they are the greatest thing in the world when they work in the service industry but provide horrible service. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!

• Pros: NONE!
• Cons: EVERYTHING!

Terrible door and club policy

by denver_c5

It was a Monday night, still early around 11:00 PM, just wanted to find a good place to hang out with a group of 5 (3 guys, 2 girls). Door was ridiculous. Had a terrible attitude. Asked for a table, took a credit card and ID, then made us wait for about 10 minutes. Finally let us in and it was DEAD. Waitress said we had to order 2 bottles. Since no one was there, we insisted on 1 bottle for now and we'd think about a second. She said she would be right back. Came back with door man, and he yelled at us to leave immediately. We abided and went to Tantra. Spent $1,100. Go to Tantra. Sure they make you buy two bottles, but at least it is packed with an awesome crowd.

• Pros: Midget bouncers
• Cons: They're tools

It's still trendy and still more fun with a few close friends than alone.

In Short
Enjoy beverages, entertainment and dining on 17 king-size, cushy mattresses. Get it? That's what B.E.D. stands for, and just as the name implies, all three get equal billing. For dining, choose from a changing menu of specials like beef tenderloin, duck breast with pistachio pesto couscous, Asian spiced yellowtail snapper, or pan-seared Chilean sea bass. Mingling and dancing take the place of the traditional dining experience, so adjust expectations accordingly.

Ok, is expensive but read on...

by arosteguisuzette

After reading the previous ratings, I thought I was crazy to try this place. However, the food was superb (had the duck), and the concept of eating on a bed was simply great. The service was fast and were seated promptly (maybe the manager read past reviews?? lol). Anyway, our waitress was nice and unpretentious (they ere even wearing, GASP! sneakers, jeans and tank tops! Not the usual bimbo attire you see only in Miami). We stayed in bed and it was great being able to take off my heels from hell and lay down, sipping my drink, while watching people dance. We danced on the bed as well. There are two seatings, one at 8:30 pm, which is the perfect one if you go on a date, and the 10:30 pm if you want to stay clubbing there. Prices per entree range from $32-$38.

• Pros: Yummy Food, Relaxing Atmosphere, Different Concept
• Cons: Parking, A little Pricey
