Overlooking the hotel's infinity-edge pool and the sparkling waters of
Biscayne Bay, M-Bar is the home of the largest selection of martinis
in South Florida. More than 250 reasons for martini lovers to head
to Brickell Key.
Relax
with your martini or a glass or two of fine
wine, and enjoy the panoramic views of the
Miami skyline and breathtaking Biscayne Bay
through M-Bar’s floor to ceiling windows.
Its distinctive design includes a mirrored display case surrounded by
cherry wood, cushioned couches, dark wood bar stools and tables
The bar is topped with the world’s finest marble, Blue Bahia and
rice paper-style accents; and here and there, Japanese lanterns add just
the right ambience in which to enjoy the Chef's selection of sushi and
seafood platters.
The
Scene
The Mandarin Oriental Hotel may be a monument to the Eastern aesthetic,
but inside its soaring lobby lies a temple to one of the greatest inventions
of the Western world: the martini. Unlike its neighbor across the lobby,
the grand and glamorous Azul, M-bar is small and simple, with comfortable
chairs and nice views of the downtown skyline. The crowd runs the gamut
from visiting Japanese businessmen to South Beach hipsters seeking a
civilized drink.
The
Draw
The menu of 250 martinis arrives bound in beautiful black linen, like
a sacred text. Seven categories cover every delicious martini, with names
such as Antifreeze, Spanish Fly and Ruby Slipper. All are expertly prepared
and look as good as they taste. Adventurous drinkers will enjoy the imaginative
mixes, while purists can choose from a selection of traditional recipes
