They have great bartenders. Who make the best recommendations. I highly suggest you try the Guava Passion. Also you can't go wrong with an Old Fashion!

This is my new favorite bar to get a drink. The vibes here are amazing! So classy and upscale I love it. We stopped here on a Saturday night after getting dinner with my in-laws. They were raving about how much they enjoyed the Biltmore Bar when they were here a few weeks prior, so we all decided to go together. Despite it being a weekend, we got a table right as we walked in. All the seats at the bar also appeared to be available, but were all taken within a half hour after we showed up. They had live music that was wonderful. It just added to the ambiance. Our server came over pretty quickly and we ordered drinks. They have a huge drink selection and I think they are well priced despite it being The Biltmore. I got the Heartbreaker martini for $18 and it was so delicious! It was light and fruity, just what I was looking for. My husband got an espresso martini that was also delish. Our server left us to hang out but periodically checked on us. I just loved everything about this place. If you're looking for a refined, chill environment to enjoy a drink, definitely come here.

Jose was an amazing bartender great service and awesome drinks.

A beautiful bar in a legendary hotel. The bartender, José, could not have given us better attention. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly. Well worth the visit and Jose's drinks.

Good quality cocktails, liquors, wine and excellent service in a classy, comfortable space inside a legendary hotel in a residential neighborhood.

I hate to say this but this is the place where staff will serve you less if you are not dressed up in executive or formal or golfing attire than those who are. I went as Maid of Honor to stay over night for my best friend's wedding. I thought we were going directly to bed or hanging out at the hotel room so as a busy mom, I went directly with leggings and a Tshirt, fresh out shower, ready for bed. Lol. My group wanted to go to the bar for a bit. I had a MOH speech to deliver and my voice was soar, near getting a cold. The waiter had given my group a not so welcoming service though they were all drinking calmly but I told the waiter if I could please have some tea. Anything else wouldn't help me for tomorrow. He literally told me he doesn't have time to serve me tea. My bestfriend got upset at that point and told him, "could you just bring us some hot water and the tea bag and she'll literally do the rest herself, man?" He left to attend other parties and a while later he brought me hot water and lemons that I didn't even touch the lemons - having worked in the restaurant business before, with that attitude and "being too busy", you question his choice of not touching the lemons with dirty hands while grabbing them. I was charged for it by the way. LolThe ambience, live singing and food are nice though, I have been back to the Biltmore twice for different events as guest but though it is the Biltmore's hang out area, I haven't wanted to come back to the area that is very vain and made me feel like less of something with not serving me. What if I was pregnant and couldn't drink and just wanted tea? I've been in that position before. Please take this as learning lesson.. Please teach your staff to not reject a person by means of what they're ordering or how they're dressed. The Biltmore isn't cheap, we all know that, but it's also a hotel and we aren't strolling there by casualty. That night I was a tired mom preparing to take on a long day for my best friend. I had priorities. My party was drinking all kinds of drinks, one had even ordered his Macallan since he works for the Macallan brand. My bestfriend is a Product Owner at one of the most pioneering companies here in South Florida, the other a Marketing Specialist and wedding planner, with her husband an engineer visiting from NYC. It's just to explain we weren't a roudy young crowd. We're all young professionals and were trying to enjoy the bar, as you can see from my "water with lemon" picture. Lol.. I'm so shook the waiter said he didn't want to serve me. It was just very condescending of an experience that I was as if "annoying" to be served that won't bring me back. I go to events at the Biltmore invited for work but when asked if I want to go to the Bar, I tell them to why I don't.

I’m so sad to write this review. Absolutely disappointing experience. The Biltmore is not what it once was. Ruined by time. Ruined by the new face of the Gables. Lucky to have experienced them while they were special. Now it’s casual, smelly, old but with a cheap crowd. Explains why they have attracted this new segment of society. It’s no longer special, upscale or a treat. Our drinks were just ok. I’m pretty sure that I did not get the vodka that I ordered. I’m sensitive to what I drink and I know when I’ve had something other than what I am accustomed to drinking. We all joked that we felt poisoned. Who knows what alcohol they gave us. I’ll not return unless they are restored to their previous level. End of an era!

If you are hot and sweaty after a day in the Coral Gables or Miami area, consider a therapeutic visit to the Cellar Club Bar at the Biltmore Coral Gables. You will find as I did that the Biltmore Bar is a great place to meet friends, talk about golf and just unwind. José and Katherine will do their utmost to make your day excellent. If you’re a late night visitor - ask Jeffery to do the same!I have just finished my third Budweiser and I am feeling like joining this “Cellar Club” as a permanent member. Actually, that old Boston bar called “Cheers” has nothing on The Biltmore Bar. Here it’s just straightforward bar talk. Come and see if my opinion is one you can share! Cheers! From the Cellar Club Bar at Biltmore Coral Gables.Oh by the way there is a 10 star golf course and the most beautiful swimming pool in North America here too.
So much has changed, the food was never that good , but now the service is really bad. Poorly stocked. Pre packaged condiments. A good chef cuts all his French fries evenly, for uniform cooking. Also the bartender kept on putting disgusting incense after I asked her to put it out. U wanted to leave but there was no check or continuous service. I had to wait and wait in me seat because I didn't want to twist my neck

Very fancy old school bar located in one of the most iconic hotels in Coral Gables. Go back in time or imagine you are in a bar in France or Spain. It's a bit pricey but worth it for a treat every once in a while.

Historic property and treated so well by your exceptional Marshall in the Biltmore Bar. Marshall was professional and attentive and went above and beyond. My visiting sister and her son from Tampa continued to express our terrific experience even after leaving the property. Service like Marshall's is so rare today. You can be very proud of him as he exceeded our expectations!

I imagine that not even in Cuba you may find a better spot to have a very nice mojito.... but do not venture into other drinks... or the food, for that matter.

Spotless service, great food and drinks. One day we had poolside snacks and drinks, the other a proper seated lunch, also by the pool. All were prefect!
