Whiskey Blue in the W Fort Lauderdale Hotel is arguably the most stunning lounge in Broward County.

Segafredo L'Originale

1040 Lincoln Road
Miami Beach, FL 33139
(305) 673-0047

Segafredo L'Originale is literally the first Segafredo to come to Florida. The original really holds strong with a packed house indoors and outdoors on nearly any night - even in Miami's summer off season. This is always a hot spot for singles and Valentine's Day is no exception. On paper, it reads to be a cafe with light fare and an extensive cocktail list. The dress code bar is set high to South Beach chic and it has a lounge atmosphere with great local DJs at the turntables every night.
