Hopping from bar to bar might be ideal for some people’s idea of a fun night out, but for those who want it all in one place, there’s the restaurant lounge. For a single place to dine, cozy up at the bar for a drink and enjoy the music in a lounge, check out this trio that reside in sultry Miami Beach:
1826
Named for its location on iconic Collins Avenue, anyone who remembers the name of the restaurant will never forget where to find it. The dining room within 1826 (check out the machine-gun lamp shade) is headed by Michelin-star Chef Danny Grant, who put together a menu of fresh vegetable dishes, steaks, lamb, short rib and fish. Smaller dishes are also served in the lounge upstairs, where the music will get you in the mood to start the night, and the bar is where you’ll find handmade cocktails with farm-fresh ingredients. 1826 Collins Ave., 305.763.8860
