Dual curving staircases flank the DJ booth which overlooks the main floor. And that floor stays very crowded most of the time as LIV is one of the most popular clubs in all of Miami Beach.

For those seeking an ultra-VIP evening, LIV’s six private skyboxes feature European bottle service, a mini-bar and banquettes with secured purse drawers for the ladies.

An oversize gold sofa with room for 32 serves as the club’s centerpiece, and its gold and black patterned walls, lacquered bar, Cappellini stools and copper mesh ceiling provide the flash and glam. But the real key to Wall’s success is its operators—Opium Group, along with Nicola Siervo and Karim Masri, who between them have given us such premier South Beach venues as Joia, Mynt, Hotel Astor, Quattro, and most recently, Mokai.

Wall Lounge is located in the W South Beach Hotel at 2201 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, 33139. Phone: 305.938.3131.

With inspiration drawn from 18th century European opulence, the club’s décor exudes a chic decadence yet sports a few modern twists, such as graffiti art scrawled on the walls, French electro-punk ambiance and a gorgeous staff dressed in military styled uniforms.

Approaching the velvet ropes at Louis isn’t for the faint of heart, so dress you best, put your best foot forward, and maybe, just maybe the rope gods will smile upon you for a brief moment.

Louis’ main competition comes from the nearby Wall Lounge at the W South Beach hotel, which, of course, the Opium Group also has a hand in.

Louis is located on the entry level of the Gansevoort South Hotel at 2325 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, 33139. Phone: 305.531.4600

Upon entering the venue, you’ll notice the inside-meets-outside décor as Tantra boasts grass on its floors and man-made stars on its ceiling. Jasmine-scented candles fill the air with a glorious perfume while new age-style music filters through the speakers.

The fifth sense is stimulated by the international menu and titillating drinks.

Tantra’s bar is a busy scene on several nights of the week, especially Mondays, a must-attend for ladies who need to be treated like royalty. Be sure to taste the martinis, which are delicious and quite the aphrodisiac.
