Water Lion Wine + Alchemy

It's only been a few months after launching, but Water Lion Wine + Alchemy has already been called "the marriage bar" by several patrons. Water Lion Wine & Alchemy is on Collins Avenue, just north of Lincoln Road, in the foyer of the Sagamore hotel. Slip inside the bar just behind the front desk, where you'll be greeted by a friendly face, perhaps one of the owners, Abbe Diaz or Filip Trajkovic.

It has a great range of difficult-to-find wines. But it has taken a step further by including Mekkeolli, a Koren rice wine rarely seen outside of Japan, as well as a full menu of "fermentology mixology" cocktails made with beer, wine, and sake. It's all in an opulent setting befitting Champagne and caviar, but with a much more laid-back vibe. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic spot, this new wine and cocktail bar is worth a visit.

Address: The Sagamore, 1671 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139
