"“Dress to impress” isn’t just a suggestion at Flamingo, it’s mandatory—no shoes, no shirt, no drinky drink service. Because Flamingo isn’t just a scene, it’s the sceniest of scenes. This former church is always full of young twenty-somethings in Goodwill outfits that we could never make work, dancing to live funk and DJ-spun EDM amidst lush plants and a shimmering disco ball. The Old Cuban is the drink to get, since it works well with the bar’s whole tropical thing.

"When you're looking for solid cocktails and dancing, hit up Flamingo Cocktail Club. Their drink menu is loaded with modern classics, like the Old Cuban—a refreshing and bubbly rum drink that combines the best parts of a mojito, daiquiri, and french 75. There’s a disco ball, lush plants, and plenty of colorful lights framing the dance floor in the main room, plus a sprawling patio in the back that’s perfect for warm-weather dancing. Drop in after 10pm and lean into whatever activity they’re hosting that night. They do jazz nights, fashion shows, Latin dancing, Doechii listening parties, and even blindfolded dating mixers." - adam sloan
"Flamingo Cocktail Club feels like someone took a small slice of South Beach and plopped it right in the middle of Wedgewood-Houston without thinking anyone would notice. Except everybody in Nashville did. This former church is constantly full of people hanging out on textured couches and dancing to everything from live funk/jazz to DJ-spun EDM under a shimmering disco ball. Mojitos are the move here, but the ever-changing cocktail menu highlights plenty of tropical drinks and seasonal specials like mezcal hot chocolate. There is a strict dress code here: no flip-flops, shorts, or athleisure. Miami wouldn’t expect anything less." - bailey freeman, jackie gutierrez jones 2

"Count on a couple of Miami expats to open a sultry lounge that flies in the face of Broadway’s honky-tonks. Wedgewood-Houston’s Flamingo Cocktail Club pulls in the artsy cool-kid crowd with late-night nachos, warm bowls of cheese dip flanked by crispy Cuban bread, and a bevy of tropical cocktails like the Deep Tropics with Brazilian rum, guava, coconut, and lime — all of which serve to fuel the DJ-backed dance party." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
