One Night Stand: Flaunt @ Martini Bar
By Rayme Samuels
Partying on South Beach? We've all been there. Dancing in Brickell? We've all done that. This Saturday night make the trek to South Miami. Located just off of US 1, Sunset Place, which, during the day, offers a haven for shoppers and families, transforms at night into the perfect place to go to dinner, see a movie and, of course, enjoy a great party. Just listen for the loud music spilling out of Martini Bar.
Flaunt Saturdays at Martini Bar is the perfect ladies night event. And the main attraction of this night focuses around one thing all ladies love: shopping. Around midnight, the crowd judges a "Flaunt Your Outfit" contest where the best dressed wins a designer purse by Coach. That's right -- Coach.
Named after one of the sexiest cocktails around, Martini Bar doesn't take any shortcuts when it comes to stocking the bar. The most popular drink, "Sex with an Accent," is a fruity and refreshing combination of Bacardi Limón, Bacardi Razz, peach schnapps and cranberry and orange juice. For those that are more daring, try the "Dirty Executive Martini," a hearty mix of Imperial vodka and olive juice. After a few of these, you'll no doubt want to hop on the dance floor. House DJ Gabe mixes things up for the crowd by combining today's pop and hip-hop chart toppers interspersed with intoxicating salsa and bachata beats.
The split-level club gets packed with an upbeat mix of sophisticated young professionals who know the secret of how to have a good time without all of the South Beach extras. "If everyone has a good time, then we've succeeded," said Angela Bagget, the manager of Martini Bar. "We definitely have a lot of regulars coming back week after week."
Martini Bar, Shops of Sunset Place, 5701 Sunset Dr, Miami; 305-665-3052. Flaunt starts at 10 p.m., the party gets going at 11p.m. and goes strong until 5 a.m. Women gain free entry all night while men shell out $10. Call ahead to get on the guest list or for table reservations
