An institution, but not that exciting by Shaft28
The Clevelander is set up on Ocean Blvd with multiple bars around a pool with a band placed in the far back with a medium size dance floor. All outdoors, which is nice on a warm Miami Beach night. But it lacks personality. Many tourists, like myself, so a real mixed crowd.
Drinks are expensive and poorly made. To get a good drink find one of the 8 bartenders that can mix and stick with them. Even then two top shelf margaritas will run you $22.50 - in very small plastic cups.
Dancing is left mostly to the drunk and the older 40-55 something crowd. Music is pretty general to appeal to the widest amount of people walking by on the strip.
Usually packed, and all the seats taken.
Some ok people watching, but distinctly 50 year olds and 21 year olds - 95% tourists.All over the place. Saw guys in shorts, t shirts, and most in jeans. We were overdressed here, but not the only ones.
