South Beach’s Under the Radar Hotspot


March 14, 2019

Pitbull’s iLov305 may be one of the hottest places to hang out on the beach these days, but there is another hotspot that’s quietly gaining attention. Dubbed Sophie’s, this venue has been attracting all of the cool kids to the beach ever since it opened its doors late last year during the Art Basel festivities.

Sophie’s is located in the former home of Radio Bar and is a project by Philippe “Flip” Falca, the man behind Urbanica, a boutique hotel also located in South Beach. As for the ambiance, Sophie’s emphasizes an intimate, “sexy” vibe. In fact, the venue can only accommodate a total of 180 people. The ambiance is further complemented by interior details like tabletops in black marble, tastefully abstract nude caricatures, and even couches outfitted in pink velvet.

The word of mouth around Sophie’s has remained positive since its Art Basel opening, attracting art aficionados, as well as tourists, look for something edgier in Miami Beach’s trendy “SoBe” area. The music focuses on some of Miami’s lesser-known DJs like Patrick Walsh and Freckles which perform during Sophie’s so-called “Danse” parties. These Danse parties are free to attend until the venue reaches its capacity.

Should you wish to check out Sophie’s, its address is 814 First Street and it is open Thursday through Sunday from 6 pm to 5 am.
