clevelander

We visited Clevelander and ESPN Studios during my recent stay in Miami. It was great! The first night we arrived late about 3am. They let us enter free and we were able to enjoy drinks and good music before they closed at 5am. The next day we went for happy hour and we had half price drinks and apps. The music was great and the people were really nice.

My husband and I stopped for drinks. It cost an arm and a leg for very mild margaritas. Everybody was already drunk in the afternoon. My husband was groped by a drunk lady, and she tried French kissing me. Cool place for debauchery if that's your thing. Music is non stop. It's a party 24/7. Guys are very friendly, so if you are a lady and want to party, please go with someone who can keep an eye on you. We saw a few guys being way too friendly with girls who had a bit too much to drink, to the point of crossing a line with someone who is not capable of consenting to that kind of attention. Wouldn't necessarily rush back here.

The location of this art deco hotel is awesome. Steps from the beach and boardwalk trail, surrounded by restaurants and cocktails and the room was adequate (I mean how much time do you really want to spend in the room, but keep reading). The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. And now for what could be the bad news. ..they play dance music until 4 or 5 in the morning. Do not reserve a pool view room or you will be hearing the beat of the bass all night long. Perhaps the non-pool-view rooms are quieter but I can't speak to that. Bottom line. ..if you want to be in the middle of the party, this place is for you. If not, try for an out of the way room.

We had a day before our cruise and decided on the South Beach experience, stopping at several outdoor cafes for snacks and drinks. This was our first stop. Our waitress, Casey, was fun and friendly. Service was very good overall We both had drinks - I had a mojito and a strawberry daiquiri- both were tasty . For an extra $2, you could get an extra shot of booze in your drink. Honestly, it must have been pretty weak vodka, because Icouldn't taste the difference. After 3 drinks in about 45 minutes, you'd think a little person like me would be feeling a bit loopy- but it wasn't happening!We had the mixed appetizer plate and it was great. Too much for 2 women. 4 stars because we weren't there to get drunk- just to sit out in the sun by the pool and relax. Mission accomplished!

Had a great time partying here for the Groove Cruise pre party. Awesome outdoor spot right on Ocean Ave

We stopped at the Clevelander late night for a few drinks. The atmosphere is great if you're looking more for a "club" scene outdoors. The music was good (DJ played hip-hop/pop) and the place was packed with many people dancing. Drinks weren't bad either! Had a great time here.

My friends and I went to Miami for a bachelor party and we made the Clevelander our main stop. You can grab a cigar, grab a drink and just watch people dance. There is so much going on that it is hard to focus. You can go there early in the morning and stay late...either way, this place is a much visit!

The Clevelander was recommended by a friend who hadn't been there in a while, so I was skeptical. However, I had visitors from out of town who "wanted to do South Beach," after the Usher concert. We got into the open air bar after the kitchen had closed at 10 p.m., so we headed to the bar. Drinks averaged $10-$12 per cocktail, but they didn't pour skimpy. The DJ started strong, then faded into house and went back to R&B/hip hop. By 2 a.m., the floor was packed with all types of people! We stayed until 3 a.m. and left happy. The Clevelander still has it.

Sure, they have TV's everywhere, but this place is trying to be more like a club than a sports bar. The techno style music is extremely loud and people get in the way of all the tv's. One really good thing to write about: the crab legs. Oh my goodness, they were divine. I got 3 large sets of legs and the were only $15.

Definitely a place to check out late at night, great people watching place and great music! We stayed until 4am so unlike us but it was that much fun.

Fun! Fun! Fun! A great night club! Stopped by two nights out of the six that we were in South Beach!

The Clevelander is very cool. The entertainment is very South Beach. Prices are high, but it is to be expected in the heart of South Beach. It is full of energy and exciting. The service was great and the drinks were strong. We had a great time.

Sunset here is gorgeous! Grab a cocktail and enjoy the atmosphere. I found as a single women it to still be very warm and inviting to mingle!

This bar is very unique and fun! was dead when I visited but it was 4am and everyone had already left. I didn't drink, just checked it out and liked the music and atmosphere. the inside was cool too and then lighting was very creative.

This place offers good quality entertainment , however I found it a bit expensive as they generally are very colorful drinks but nothing out of the ordinary. The location is second to none and is always full of people having fun. The tourists (like us) are always amazed by the outdoor environment. I think it is in the wrong category though...
