FOOQ’S


Neighborhood: Little River
Address: 1035 N Miami Ave
Cuisine: Persian, American

Fooq’s is back. After a four-year hiatus, the restaurant founded by David Foulquier returns to Miami with a new home in Little River.

Originally opened in Downtown Miami in 2015, Fooq’s quickly built a following. What started as a tiny space is now a 14,000 square foot, two-story spot with the restaurant downstairs and Lion’s Den upstairs, a vinyl listening lounge with late-night DJ sets.

The menu leans into Persian flavors and wood-fired dishes meant for the table. Expect Persian Pepper Pastabeef-lamb kubideh kebabcrispy potato tahdiggourmet sabzi, and other plates designed to share.

If you’re not ready to call it after dinner, head upstairs to Lion’s Den. The vinyl lounge is open Thursday through Saturday from 10 PM to 3 AM, so you can keep the night going.

AMAZÓNICO


Neighborhood: Brickell
Address800 Brickell Ave
CuisineAsian, Mediterranean, Brazilian

Amazónico is the newest addition to Brickell and the it place right now, marking the U.S. arrival of the Latin American-inspired restaurant. The concept first opened in Madrid in 2016 and is also established in cities like London, Dubai, and Monte Carlo.

The menu draws from the flavors and ingredients of the Amazon region, layered with global influences. Dishes include the Amazónico version of Tequeños filled with chicken, Tybo cheese, and a coriander sauce for dipping, Guacamole con ErizoHamachi Tiradito, and Entraña with chimichurri. On the dessert menu, you’ll find Piña Rostizada with a corn cake and coconut sorbet, and the cutest Ice Cream Tasting.

The space channels the glamour of 1930s Brazil with a vibrant energy that transitions from dining to late-night lounge for drinks.

VECINOS


Neighborhood: Miami Beach
Address3101 Indian Creek Dr
CuisineSpanish, Mediterranean, all- day cafe, cocktail bar, wine bar, bakery

Vecinos just opened on Miami Beach from the team behind Medium Cool and Caracas Bakery. It’s a neighborhood spot offering elevated bar food, charcuterie boards, and cocktails. The menu features Spanish and Mediterranean small plates designed for sharing. Dishes include burnt sourdough with butter and anchovy, pan con tomate, and jamón con tomate, alongside a concise drinks list featuring frozen coladas, spritzes, rosé, and martinis. And, lucky for you, they also have one of our favorite burgers in Miami on the menu—the Vecinos Burger. Imagine: a homemade Caracas Bakery sesame sweet-potato bun with a house beef blend, American cheese, pickles, and their secret sauce. Vecinos is open Wednesday through Sunday from  4 PM until 12 AM-ish.

BEYBEY


Neighborhood: South Beach
Address: 1330 18th St
Cuisine: Lebanese, Mexican, Middle Eastern

If Cabo and Beirut had a baby, it would be BeyBey.

BeyBey is back in Sunset Harbor and is now led by Chef Roberto Solís. The Yucatán-born chef behind Huniik brings a menu rooted in Mexican and Middle Eastern flavors, all built around open fire. Our favorite dishes include kibbeh crudoaguachile, charred tacos al pastor with a nod to Lebanese shawarma, and a cheesecake you’re not skipping.

The space still carries that late-night energy, with a great outdoor setting. It works for a lively date, a group dinner, or one of those casual plans that turns into a full night out.

SUNNY’S


Neighborhood: Little River
Address7357 NW Miami Ct
CuisineSteakhouse

Sunny’s Steakhouse, created by the talented team behind Jaguar Sun, is where we want to live. If they allowed it, we’d bring our sleeping bag and stay there forever. It’s the best backdrop for all occasions—your neighborhood bar for a chill terrace hang, a destination for happy hour cocktails, the setting for an intimate date night, or a lively group dinner party.

The space features a charming outdoor courtyard with its iconic banyan tree. Inside, there’s a sleek stainless-steel kitchen, a dining room with old-school Palm Beach charm, an incredible indoor bar with golden lights, and an outdoor terrace bar for a more casual night out.

You can expect top-notch service and killer cocktails like the Circus Permit, a delicious take on the spicy margarita with watermelon and elderflower. Of course, all your favorite variations of martinis are available. We’re also obsessed with their Mezcal Service—a must for any dinner party. It comes with a flask of smooth Espadin Mezcal, homemade sangrita, and a slice of orange with tajín.

As for the food, there isn’t a dish we don’t love. Currently loving the Octopus Ceviche with grapefruit, cucumber, and peanuts, the Grilled Pork Sausage with comté, puntarelle remoulade, and pickles, the Wagyu Carpaccio or Tartare with grilled bread and leek ash aioli, and the Cavatelli with duck ragù, aged balsamic, and parmesan.

Oh, and if you want the burger, here’s a little pro tip: The Limited Edition Sunny’s Burger, featuring dry-aged beef with sweet onion, secret sauce, and pickles, is only available on the terrace menu. Our move is to arrive between 5:20 PM and 5:30 PM to grab a spot, since the terrace is first-come, first-served and doesn’t take reservations. Worth it, friends.

LAS’ LAP


Neighborhood: South Beach
AddressThe Vintro Hotel, 2216 Park Ave
CuisineCaribbean

Las’ Lap Miami is now open in South Beach at the Daydrift Hotel, and it was one of the best new restaurants to open in 2025. The NYC rum bar expands to Miami with Chef Kwame Onwuachi as a partner, introducing a West Indian–focused concept to the South Beach scene.

The space is brighter and more open than the Lower East Side original, with indoor seating and a weekend rooftop. The name Las’ Lap references the final hours of Carnival, and the room is built for late nights and long hangs.

From the menu, our favorites include the Sticky Wings, the Oxtail Cuban, and the Rasta Pasta Bucatini, along with the South Beach Snapper and Charred Dorade. The food reflects Onwuachi’s Afro-Caribbean heritage and Trinidadian roots and works especially well for sharing.

No notes. They hit every single mark for us.

CANTINA LA VEINTE


Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 495 Brickell Ave
CuisineMexican

If you want to go out, have the best time, and still be in bed by midnight, Cantina La20 is the move. This is how to do it y no morir en el intento.

Start by gathering all your friends for a good time. Order enough micheladas and drinks for the whole table, plus one of their iconic extra-large margaritas to get things going.

For food, go all in. Get the tacos de gaunera, tostadas de atún, queso fundido, a molcajete de pastor, and the Wagyu sopes. The goal is for the table to look stacked like a proper fiesta.

While you’re fueling up, get the mariachi going. And right at that moment, send another round of margaritas and carajillos to the table.

Don’t forget dessert. Then grab your friends and make your way to the bar for one last happy drink. Deja que te saquen a bailar un rato, vibe to the music, enjoy the 10/10 ambiente, and call it a night.

LE SPECIALITÀ


Neighborhood: Design District
Address: 40 NE 41st St
Cuisine: Italian

Le Specialità, a Milanese institution since 1977, is now open in the Miami Design District, marking its first location outside of Italy. The concept comes from the team behind The Joyce and brings one of Milan’s classic neighborhood trattorias to Miami, featuring a retro-chic space.

The menu stays true to its roots with handmade pastas, seafood and meat dishes, and its signature Milanese pizza, known for its light, crispy crust. Go for the creamy Vitello Tonnato with chilled veal, tuna velouté, and capers. From the pizza section, look for the Piccantissima with tomato sauce, buffalo mozzarella, pesto, peanuts, chili, and onion, and the Pesto Burrata with buffalo mozzarella, pesto, burrata, and mortadella.

YAMASHIRO


Neighborhood: Downtown
Address159 NE 6th St fl 9
CuisineAsian, Japanese, sushi

Yamashiro has arrived in Miami from Los Angeles, and it could be your go-to if you want some outdoor downtown skyline energy, and a little ambiente without trying too hard. The menu is Japanese-inspired with lots of truffle moments and small plates that work for groups, date nights, or a solo bite at the bar.

Our picks: Truffle Edamame with truffle salt, Spicy Tuna Crispy RiceHokkaido Scallop (Hotate), the Truffle Yellowtail Roll with yuzu truffle vinaigrette and chardonnay amazu gel, and the Bavette Steak American Wagyu with a shio koji crust and bone marrow teriyaki.

THE GIBSON ROOM


Neighborhood: Coral Way
Address2224 SW 22nd St
CuisineAmerican, pizza, cocktail bar

The Gibson Room is back under Miami Slice Hospitality and operating as a true neighborhood bar on Coral Way. It’s an easy place to stop in for a drink, grab a slice, a burger, and stay longer than planned.

The menu focuses on familiar, well-executed comfort food: Proper Tequeños, a Bacon CheeseburgerPepperoni Proper Pizza, and Churro Bites. The drinks are straightforward and well-made, like the Sliced Spritz,  and the Classic Gibson.

It works for after-office drinks or for a chill hang with friends.

BAR BUCCE


Neighborhood: Little River
Address: 7220 N Miami Ave
Cuisine: Italian, pizza, wine bar

Bar Bucce quickly became one of our favorite new spots in Miami in 2025 and, of course, one of the best restaurants in/near Little River. We’ve been craving more casual places like this, and we’re so glad the team behind Macchialina read our minds.

Bar Bucce is a lot of things. It’s a marketplace where you can pick up ready-to-heat Baked Ziti, scratch-made pasta sauces, and an incredible wine selection curated by co-owner Jacqueline Pirolo. (Take a bottle to go or pop it open there for a corkage fee.) You’ll also find rare olive oils, Italian Galeffi Effervescent Antacid, and fun snacks perfect for hosting at home.

It’s a casual counter-service restaurant where you order at the register and choose your seat. There are limited tables inside and a lively, spacious outdoor patio. If you sit at the indoor/outdoor bar, the team will take your order from there.

Chef Michael Pirolo has crafted a fun Italian menu featuring antipasti, grilled dishes, pizzas, salumi & cheese, and a little gelato for dessert. The menu changes often. Some of our favorite dishes include the house-made Porchetta di Casa—paper-thin and full of flavor and the Shrimp Pie topped with tomato, cream, rock shrimp, sweet onion, and stracciatella.

The best part? You don’t need a reservation. Bar Bucce is fully walk-in, casual, and exactly what the neighborhood needs.

SHISO


Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address239 NW 28th St
CuisineAsian, Japanese

Chef Raheem Sealey, known for his work at KYU and Drinking Pig BBQ, opened Shiso, an Asian smokehouse in Wynwood and one of the best new spots of 2025. This personal project blends his Caribbean roots with Japanese techniques and wood-fired barbecue. The menu includes dishes like the build-your-own Smoked Short Rib with sushi rice, BBQ, and pickles, and the Oxtail Udon Noodle with braised oxtail, jus, and cured egg yolk. For dessert, go with the Japanese Sweet Potato Cheesecake with passionfruit sorbet and kinako yuzu crumble.

Shiso’s space is just as impressive as the food. The restaurant includes a rooftop lounge with its own bar and live music. There are two bars: one indoors with a more technical cocktail program and one outdoors with a simpler, more relaxed menu with an ambiance to meet friends and enjoy the night.

UCHIKO


Neighborhood: South Beach
Address1759 Purdy Ave
CuisineJapanese

Uchiko, the sister concept to Uchi, is the greatest addition to Sunset Harbour in Miami Beach. She is sleek and gives beach vacation vibes. You’ll still find familiar favorites like nigiri, sashimi, and sushi rolls, the spotlight here is on the yakitori grill. This section is packed with smoked, charred, and cured dishes cooked over an open flame—think Roasted Lobster in a tom kha broth and Hama Chili.

The menu also features daily specials, two tasting options (Omakase and Somakase), and standout small plates like Sake Crudo and Hot Rock Wagyu. For dessert, try the Milk & Cereal. The beverage program includes sake, Japanese whisky, and cocktails—plus a daily happy hour from 5 PM to 6:30 PM.

CARBONE VINO


Neighborhood: Coconut Grove
Address2911 Grand Ave Suite 194
CuisineItalian, pasta

Carbone Vino in Coconut Grove recently opened and is a great choice for a date night if you’re looking for somewhere trendy and sexy, especially on a rainy evening.

The dim lighting, turquoise velvet couches, and candlelit bar set the mood, with classic tunes by Frank Sinatra and The Supremes creating a romantic feel. Pair a glass of wine with their famed Spicy Rigatoni Vodka with buttery sous vide onions or the Tortellini Tartufo Nero. And don’t miss the Guava Cheesecake, a Miami and New York creation.

MAGIE WINE BAR


Neighborhood: Coconut Grove | Little River
Address3540 Main Hwy | 8281 NE 2nd Ave
CuisineMediterranean, wine bar

If you’re looking for an elevated yet playful wine bar—think Lagniappe but mostly indoors—stop by Magie. This casual and cozy counter-service spot, inspired by the Mediterranean “tin-to-table” lifestyle, has two locations: one in Little River and its newest venture in Coconut Grove.

Created by Miami restaurateur Caroline Strauss, Magie is great for a first date, where you can stay for two hours or go home after an hour. They offer fun snacks, craft beer, and a wine list primarily from Spain and Portugal, focused on lesser-known grapes that are biodynamic, organic, and produced in small batches. The menu by Chef Ivan Barros features fun snacks like Caviar Dino Nuggets and Spanish Toastie (manchego, chorizo, and tomato jam).

More than a wine bar and a casual spot for drinks, Magie doubles as a community hub, hosting live music, showcasing local artists, and putting on weekly events that spotlight local chefs and small businesses.

VICEVERSA APERITIVO BAR


Neighborhood: Downtown
Address398 NE 5th St
CuisineItalian, pizza, aperitivo bar

Allora!! The team behind our favorite Miami bar, Jaguar Sun (now closed), opened a second bar in collaboration with one of the city’s most talented bartenders, Valentino Longo. Located inside The Elser Hotel in Downtown, ViceVersa is a funky Italian aperitivo bar offering classic Italian cocktails made with Italian spirits and Miami’s seasonal ingredients. Longo, known for his work at The Champagne Bar at the Four Seasons, has crafted a list of drinks divided into Negroni Family, Martinis, and Signature Cocktails.

Come here if you want to nerd out about Negronis, Americanos, and any vermouth-forward Italian cocktail. Or with that partner who loves a cozy yet lively date night.

The menu, designed by Jaguar Sun’s chefs Carey Hynes and Justin Flit, includes raw bar offerings like the most delicious Scallops and neo-Neapolitan pizzas. We love the white sauce Clam Pizza with middleneck clams, lemons, and scallions, and the simple Margherita.

Oh, and if the seasonal Mango or Passion Fruit Gelato is available, get it. But honestly, all their homemade gelatos are incredible. Shout out to the team for adding a drizzle of olive oil and sea salt to our scoops. Vice Versa is open every day from 5 PM to Midnight. Don’t have a reservation, the bar is a great seat if you’re looking for less food and more drinks. Also, they serve one of the best burgers in Miami, but it’s only available on Mondays in limited quantities.

WALRUS RODEO


Neighborhood: Little River
Address: 
5143 NE 2nd Avenue
Cuisine: 
Italian, wood-fired kitchen

Walrus Rodeo, Boia De’s sister restaurant located in the same Little Haiti shopping center.

There are three things you need to remember about Walrus Rodeo: porchetta, pizza, and green mustard lasagna. This is one of the best restaurants in Miami for wine and Italian-esque dishes. It’s def not traditional Italian, but there is a modern Italian take throughout the dishes.

The menu theme is “charred”. They’re all about those wood-fired oven flavors. From the pizza selection (a.k.a Za’s), don’t skip the Rodeo Za with anchovies, spicy tomatoes, and maple-brown butter. We need you to order the Kale Salad with chickpeas, walnut vinaigrette, and pecorino picante (just trust us and then tell us what you think).

Finally, if you go to Walrus Rodeo and don’t order their signature Mustard Green Lasagna with lamb ragu, grana padano, and stracchino, then did you even go to Walrus Rodeo? This is truly the most unique lasagna we’ve ever had in Miami.

GRAMPS GETAWAY


Neighborhood: Key Biscayne
Address3301 Rickenbacker Cswy
CuisineAmerican, seafood

You may be familiar with the OG Gramps in Wynwood, which we love. And now you can experience Gramps in a more tropical, relaxed environment by the water. Formerly Whiskey Joe’s in Key Biscayne, Gramps Getaway is the ultimate tiki bar you’ll want to visit on repeat for a frozen Piña Colada on Rickenbacker Marina.

Frozen cocktails, fresh seafood, and views of the bay and skyline are just a few of the things you can find at Gramps. Chef James McNeal, formerly of Over Under and behind one of our favorite burgers in Miami, has created a menu that includes an incredible Smoked Fish Dip with pickled peppers, Charred Broccoli salad with buttermilk ranch, a crispy Double Cheese Burger with shaved onion, a tangy mustard sauce, and a Key Lime Pie. They’ve also teamed up with ‘The Lazy Oyster’ to serve some of the freshest oysterslobster rolls (hot and buttered, or cold with mayo), and other sea-inspired dishes.

We know that more often than not, seafood + views can be pretty pretentious, but here, it’s casual and super laid-back in the best way. We think it’s a great plan for families, dogs, friends, couples with young kids, or to mingle and meet people. With great vibes, reasonable prices, and the Miami breeze, this will become one of your go-to spots for everything. They are open Sunday from 11 AM – 10 PM-ish, Monday through Thursday from 12 PM – 10 PM-ish, and Friday and Saturday from 11 AM – 11 PM-ish.

LPM RESTAURANT & BAR


Neighborhood: Brickell
Address: 1300 Brickell Bay Dr
Cuisine: French, Mediterranean

LPM was a welcome addition to the Brickell scene in 2017, as it stands out for its unique French Mediterranean and Nicoise cuisine and beautiful decor inspired by the French Riviera. It’s a crisp, clean, and consistent choice for couples who love to dress up for date night, see and be seen, eat well, and have some cocktail knowledge.

They serve delicious pasta, seafood, and meat dishes using fresh Mediterranean produce such as lemons, artichokes, and olives. It has impeccable service, ambiance, and food.

Start your meal with a Tomatini (it’s a cherry tomato in drink form). Once you’ve enjoyed your drink, move on to the Warm Prawns with olive oil and lemon juice and Escargots with garlic butter and parsley. For your main course, we recommend the slow-cooked coquelet au citron confit. This Marinated Baby Chicken is probably one of the best chicken dishes we’ve had. We’re never ones to order chicken at a restaurant, but this one is worth it. Please order the Gâteau au Fromage Frais, which is the vanilla cheesecake with berry compote. It’s delicate, smooth, creamy, and will melt in your mouth.

PASTIS


Neighborhood: Wynwood
Address380 NW 26th St
Cuisine: French

The iconic NYC staple, Pastis, expanded its presence from the Meatpacking District to the vibrant neighborhood of Wynwood. The restaurant stays true to its New York roots, offering the same menu filled with classic Parisian bistro-style dishes and an incredible ambiance that won’t make you feel like you’re in Miami, and even less in Wynwood.

You’re heading here for a chic dinner or lunch (even brunch) with a date or friends. If the weather permits, we recommend sitting at their gorgeous outdoor patio decorated with ceiling fans, red patio umbrellas, and twinkly lights. We’d start with some drinks (of course). If you’re a spritz person looking to relax, start your meal with their St. Tropez Spritz made with St. Germain, lemon, aperitif, sparkling wine, and strawberries. But if you’ve had a long day (or week), then kick off your meal with a tiny Le Petit Pickle martini.

As for the food, we like to start with a few hors d’oeuvres for the table. We usually go for the Tuna Carpaccio with lemon vinaigrette, Escargots with garlic-parsley butter, Onion Soup, and Crispy Artichokes with garlic aioli. Moving on to the entrées, we love their Chicken Paillard with almonds and picholine olives, and we always love to get an order of the Moules Frites with white wine and garlic for the table (don’t forget to dip the bread in the sauce). We also love their Cheeseburger À L’américaine for any time of the day. It’s a double-decker with two beef patties, American cheese, loaded with pickles, thinly sliced red onions, and lots of their special pink sauce.

If you still have a little room, the grand finale is the airy Profiteroles, delicately filled with velvety smooth vanilla ice cream, and generously drizzled with warm chocolate sauce.

CLUB ROOM BAR AT THE SURF CLUB RESTAURANT


Neighborhood: Surfside
Address: 9011 Collins Ave
Cuisine: Modern American

When there is a big name attached to a restaurant, expectations are always high and The Surf Club Restaurant by Thomas Keller does not disappoint.

Chef Thomas Keller is famously known for The French Laundry in Yountville, California, and Per Se in New York City. If and when you decide to stop by The Surf Club Restaurant, chances are that Chef Keller won’t be there. But it doesn’t matter. Excellence exists here. And we want to celebrate any major life achievements at the Surf Club Restaurant. But we also just want to go to their regal bar and feel like a million bucks.

The best way to experience the bar there is by arriving relatively early. We’d say before 7 PM. Start the night with the refreshing Basil Smash with gin. And then stick to small plates for sharing. The generous portion of French Onion Dip and Kettle Chips is a must if you’re just having drinks. However, if you plan to eat, order the best crispy, Jumbo Lump Crab Cake of your life, Hass Avocado & Garden Vegetable Louie, and the Hand-cut Steak Tartare.

CHAMPAGNE BAR AT THE SURF CLUB


Neighborhood: Surfside
Address9011 Collins Ave
Cuisine: Italian

At the Four Seasons Surf Club’s Champagne Bar, it’s not just the exquisite setting that makes an impression—it’s the feeling of being transported to another era. The moment you walk into the airy, palm-lined lounge, you’ll sense it. And trust us, the best seat in the house is at the bar.

Here, the cocktail menu is more than a list—it’s a Miami Timeline, offering drinks inspired by different decades and global travels. From Miami’s largest selection of Champagne to inventive takes on classic cocktails, there’s something for everyone. Think expertly crafted drinks like the Surf Club Negroni, a tropical Lychee cocktail with St. Germain, sherry, and Champagne, or the bold Peanut Martini made with reposado tequila, Mancino Kopi vermouth, Amaro Ancho Reyes, and peanuts. And while you sip your drink, don’t overlook the bar menu. Grab a seat and order the Margherita PizzaTuna Arancini, or Smashed Burger.

CAFÉ LA TROVA


Neighborhood: Calle Ocho
Address: 971 SW 8th St
Cuisine: Cuban

Café La Trova is a party. It’s a festive, modern Cuban destination in the heart of Little Havana. With cuisine from James Beard award-winning chef Michelle Bernstein and a bar program from world-renowned Julio Cabrera. You might not be able to have a deep conversation here, but if you’re looking for live music and ambiente, this is a great spot.

It’s also perfect for large groups because you won’t break the bank. You can share empanadascroquetas, and sliders while sipping on some of the best tropical cocktails you will find in Miami.

At midnight on Friday and Saturday, they open their 305 80’s bar, which is one of the best things you can do in Miami. The vibe is super relaxed. You’ll bump into tourists, viejos, anyone and everyone. You can literally wear whatever you want, and yes, the vibe is 80s with a little 90s here and there.

MANGROVE


Neighborhood: Downtown
Address103 NW 1st Ave
CuisineJamaican, Caribbean

Mangrove is a Caribbean restaurant, bar, and lounge in Downtown bringing food, drinks, music, and community. Here, Chef Wayne Sharpe stays true to and honors Caribbean and Jamaican flavors, while sprinkling in his family traditions and the diverse culture of Miami.

With an eclectic and fun menu, a curated vinyl selection, bar stools, booths, and mix-matched glassware – you kind of feel like you’re in a retro film with all your best friends, in the best way.

On their menu, you can find dishes like Da’ Traditional Plate with jerk chicken thigh, rice & peas, plus plantains; Rasta Pasta with pepper bechamel, and their classic Sticky Rum Cake. We highly recommend the flavorful Curry Oxtail that is served with your choice of side. We went for the Coconut Rice & Peas.

You’re going to want to come here Thursday – Saturday for a more lively dinner that could turn into some dancing once they start playing the music louder. Follow them on Instagram for more info on their DJ lineup.

TÂM TÂM


Neighborhood: Downtown
Address97 NW 1st St
Cuisine: Vietnamese

Tâm Tâm, a lively Vietnamese spot that went from pop-up to permanent restaurant in Downtown, is one of the best restaurants in Miami. Drawing inspiration from the concept of “quán nhậu,” which represents the joy of gathering with friends while enjoying food and drinks, Tâm Tâm has mastered the art of creating a vibe that honestly is good for all types of vibes, which includes a FUN date night. You’ll want to stay hanging for as long as your reservation allows for it (even at the bar).

Start with their Shimeji Mushroom in a savory La Vong sauce with scallions and peanuts. And make sure to save room for their Tamarind Glazed Pork Ribs: tender and juicy pork ribs with the bold flavors of tamarind. As you take your first bite, the meat effortlessly falls off the bone. It’s a delicious combination of sweet, tangy, and savory. Oh and if you are into karaoke, make sure to visit the bathroom.
