The Flat

This place has a great lounge décor, its really cool with perfect dim lighting. The drinks are very good and the service is excellent. Its a great place for after dinner drinks. On certain nights they have someone playing the piano in the middle of the bar. Its not too loud so a good place for conversation. The only problem is I never see many people there. Hopefully they figure out how to get more customers because I’d like to see The Flat stick around.

Different folks, different strokes — eh? The reviewers love this place.
My experience here wasn’t bad — but it wasn’t stellar. I knew what we were getting into by showing up when they opened. My purpose of going was just to check it out — not to stay and have a great night. Plus — there is a happy hour from 8pm — 10pm.
First thing you need to know if that this place is expensive. South Beach pricey. They do have a few specialty cocktails — although they one I wanted was no longer available — but still on the menu. If you charge so much you can afford to change your menu. :-) This is the way my brain works.
The décor is wild. Chic, sure — definitely eclectic and fun. The kind of stuff that is fun to see at a bar — but not really at home. So I enjoyed it for that!
The live entertainment was a piano man. And he was struggling to hit the notes he was playing. When not struggling — just plain ol’ shouting. For the kind of prices at this bar — the entertainment better be good. On the way out the extremely nice and friendly door guy laughed with us about how the entertainment is usually much better. This door guy was the best part about the bar. They need to get him off the door and behind the bar. Friendly, personable, genuine.
All this said — I’m open to trying it again — going later when it’s more their time to shine.

Great lounge! Very cozy atmosphere and we had the pleasure of listening to a talented Mr Krivokuca — some James Taylor ain’t bad to hear on SoBe. And Nora jones too… Great for couples

Who doesn’t love live piano music on a neon baby grand piano? Right. No one. If their stylish spin on the living room you can’t afford isn’t enough to keep you in one of their midnight blue, velvet couches their refreshing, artisan cocktails will. Chic, sexy and just a little edgy. My recommendation for your night: dinner at Smith & Wollensky with a walk along the water before getting your live-​music fix at the Flat before closing out your night at Radio Bar. You’re welcome.

I went to the Flat for a work after hours networking event and let me tell you I was impressed. The interior is very chic, sophisticated, and inviting. The moment you walk in you feel like you went to a friends house (a friend with upscale style) and are enjoying some drinks in her living room. Nice service on top makes it very relaxing and welcoming. If you are looking for a place to relax and unwind, this is the place to do it.

Let’s talk chic! Well this place has it. If I could hire their interior designer to decorate my entire house I would.
The inside looks like a really upscale living room, the bar is also beautifully decorated, dim lights, a white piano close to the wall and candles. There’s a black column in the middle that reminds me a lot of the ones they have at the Mondrian.
The service is top notch, I, accidentally dropped my friends drink and got replaced by a complimentary one.
The drinks are also one of a kind.
