305-532-1525 | | | | | Description: SOUTH BEACH. Ensconced in a former Art Deco theater, this club is as vast and conspicuous as its name. Boasting typical SoBe panache, it's dressed with grand arches, chandeliers, sweeping staircases, Venetian mirrors and ornate fireplaces, is awash in glamour, and observes a velvet-rope policy, so come dressed to impress. Inside, four dance floors thump with music across three levels, and nine bars handle thirsty patrons. Lounges and VIP areas also find plenty of traffic. Moreover, celebrities are common, the level of sociability is enormously high, and top DJs definitely spin to please.

305-531-5535 | | | | | Description: SOUTH BEACH. Regarded by many locals as South Beach's hottest dance club, Opium Garden gives trend-setters the chance to party inside or out. First, however, you'll have to posture a bit to get past the club's discriminating velvet rope, which remains fairly taut during Miami's peak season. It's then that a who's-who of starlets, music industry moguls and pro athletes (entourage in tow) gain access with a nod to the doorman and accompanying swagger. Chinese lanterns and golden Buddha statues showcase the club's Zen bent, and sensuous sound, lighting and fog set a dreamlike scene for beautiful people intent on partying till dawn.

Once you step off the sci-fi-inspired elevator and into designer Andrew Kostas's brainchild, you'll discover a spectacularly chic setting that includes a water wall, a groovy bubble wall (it is the O² Lounge, after all), and lots of metallic silver and blue tones. Indeed, this is where Coconut Grove's young and trendy go to cool their heels, see and be seen, and even shake their moneymakers after 11pm, when the Lounge's energetic DJ gets the dance party fired up. Matching the sleek, Eastern decor is the innovative menu, which features a variety of sushi and Pacific Rim dishes.

You can't miss this place right on the water, where crowds bustle, music blares and tropical drinks are flowing. Enter the jungle-like atmosphere and you'll be amazed at the mural all over the building, which was painted by seven Haitian artists over a period of nine years. There's plenty of live music in the evenings; the cover varies according to the artist. Tasty Latin cuisine is served inside and outside, and there's a small dance floor. The spacious bi-level building accommodates big crowds, and the reggae and salsa music, along with scantily clad dancers, adds an exotic flair.
