The St. Regis Bar

The St. Regis Bar sits inside The St.

Regis Bal Harbour Resort, pairing an all-glass, temperature-controlled Wine Vault with a menu of handcrafted cocktails and sushi from the hotel's Italian and Asian kitchens. Every evening at 6pm, a saber slices open a bottle of champagne in a sabering ceremony guests describe as a highlight of their stay.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights bring live music, often a pianist or vocalist, running from 7 to 11pm, a rarity for this part of Bal Harbour. The room pairs cozy, romantic décor with an upscale, trendy feel, and guests frequently mention the Bloody Mary flight, Moscow mules, and the wine sommelier's guided tastings through the vault.

Outdoor seating, table service, and a solo-dining-friendly layout make it equally suited to a quiet nightcap or a celebratory evening before or after dinner at the resort. Steps from Bal Harbour Shops, it draws both hotel guests and locals looking for an elegant, low-key evening out near Collins Avenue.
