Empire Social Lounge (Brickell Location)

Empire Social Lounge's Brickell location is an upscale cigar bar and whiskey lounge that has anchored the neighborhood for over seven years. The space pairs a full cigar humidor stocked with hand-rolled selections, including Davidoff, with a bar built around a 250-plus whiskey collection alongside curated tequila, rum, cognac, wine, and champagne.

Leather armchairs, dark wood paneling, and low lighting set a relaxed but polished tone, and the smoked old fashioned comes up again and again as the drink to order. Guests come here to unwind over a stick and a pour, watch a game on the lounge's TVs, or settle into a booth for a business meeting or a night out with friends.

Live music and DJ-driven ambiance keep the energy going into the late hours, especially on weekends when the room fills up. Located on the second floor at 1106 S Miami Ave in Brickell, the lounge maintains a smart casual dress code and welcomes both members and walk-in guests, with reservations recommended through Resy for the best seating.
