Drinks
Miami Sound Bar
New. Downtown was missing a place like this. Dark, inconspicuous — no sign outside — narrow, “a tight squeeze,” said one Infatuation reviewer.
“Audiophiles will experience listening to a collection of vinyl records played on a timeless high-fidelity system, assembled in the U.K. and customized in Japan,” reads the official story. “A place to sip on carefully crafted cocktails inspired by the sound-obsessed bars of Tokyo.”
“We want to provide a relaxed social music experience that is an alternative to clubs for hi-fi lovers, and newbies too,” said DJ Edwin, who spent his life collecting vinyl, and curated a perfect eclectic evening. Miami Sound Bar was designed by Edo Kobayashi in collaboration with Baja Restaurant Group.
About the drinks?
We opted for the Living on a jet plane, pear-infused bourbon, aperol, amaro nonino, and lemon. Delicious.
Atmosphere
Cozy, cosmopolitan. Attracts an eclectic crowd, mostly mid-thirties, app developers, a few creative lawyers, I chatted briefly with a copyright one, and artists enjoying juicy grants. The drinks aren’t expensive for what they are but not overly accessible for your typical starving artist. To secure a sitting spot on the velvety benches against the walls a reservation is required, which has a $25 minimum — more or less one drink.
