Drink
[edit]- Liv Nightclub, 4441 Collins Ave (located in the Fontainebleau hotel), ☏ +1 305 674-4680. The Liv is touted as one of Miami Beach's hottest nightclubs—and since there's no end to the number of celebrities that get photographed here, that's probably true. However, cover is as much as $20-$30 (even for ladies) unless your presence is super-desirable (which means you're rich, famous, or a very hot, very well-dressed girl). Drinks will run around $15 for a glass. If you're at the Liv, you're here for glamour and glitz; cheaper drinks and better dancing can be had elsewhere.
