"Most hotel lobby bars in South Beach solely exist for tourists, but Water Lion is an exception. The tiny wine bar located inside the Sagamore is a lovely place to hide from the touristy mayhem that’s always happening outside on Collins. Here, there’s a nice selection of wines by the glass and sake cocktails, and some excellent bar snacks—including a variety of regional oysters, which are expertly shucked by friendly bartenders. Water Lion is a great pre-dinner drinks option, but we’d also come back here just for a glass of lambrusco and those oysters." - ryan pfeffer
