"South Beach nightlife rarely feels mature. But this is a cocktail bar for adults. The intimate spot inside the Standard makes you feel sophisticated. The balanced cocktails are served in fancy glasses with crystal-clear ice cubes. The room is dim, sexy, and has a communal horseshoe bar that makes it easy to strike up conversations with tourists. The Standard is the best place to pretend you’re on vacation in Miami, and since we can’t go near much inside the property without spending a jabillion dollars, this bar has become our favorite place to hang out here." - ryan pfeffer
