                Juvia

                Fantastic cocktails paired with candy-colored skies make Juvia not only an amazing rooftop restaurant, but one of the best restaurants in Miami. The food hardly plays second fiddle to the skyline, with a Japanese-Peruvian menu featuring a selection of curious ceviches and tantalizing small plates.

                Swan

                Indoor, outdoor and exceptionally lively, this fashionable dining destination is the brainchild of hospitality guru David Grutman and music legend Pharell Williams. The refined rustic cuisine has a focus on seasonal, market-driven ingredients, and bold flavors that capture the Miami beach lifestyle.

                Carbone

                This Italian gem is one of the most celebrated restaurants in Miami, and the New York Times described it best as “a fancy red-sauce joint as directed by Quentin Tarantino, bringing back the punch-in-the-guts thrills of a genre that everybody else sees as uncultured and a little embarrassing, while exposing the sophistication that was always lurking there”. Essentially, diners are in for world-class pizzas and pasta in a homey, yet sophisticated atmosphere. A must-visit for locals and tourists alike.

                Komodo

                Both the flair, and the flavor of Southeast Asia can be found at Komodo, Brickell’s premier choice for delectable Asian dishes. The towering eatery spans 3 stories, with 300 tables and bar seats placed across the tropical terrace and sleek wood-paneled interior. The sushi is delicious, but the real treasures are the small plates, like the Miso Chilean Seabass Skewers, and the Peking Duck.

                Papi Steak

                This electric yet intimate steakhouse combines the swagger of golden age Hollywood with modern day Miami energy for a dining experience like no other. The titular “Papi Steak” is a perfectly marbled Tomahawk-cut served with a secret sauce that no words can do justice. There’s also a full bar and custom cocktail program to enjoy under golden lights and the sounds of a live DJ. The ultimate hedonistic night out. 


                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

                Stubborn Seed

                Decorated chef Jeremy Ford’s edgy neighborhood eatery ditches the glitz and velvet ropes of south beach for an intense focus on supremely delicious food. Appetizers like the gooey jalapeño fritters and cacio e pepe cheesy puffs are sure to hook any diner. Good thing too, you wouldn’t want to miss the roasted barramundi served atop a delicate stew of onions, citrus, and carrot puree. 


                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

                LPM Restaurant and Bar

                This delightful import from London serves up Mediterranean plates and Provençal dishes you might sample on the French Riviera. High ceilings, terrace dining, and the surrounding consulates, high-end fashion shops and luxury hotels make LPM one classy affair. Be sure to try the escargot, and the whole sea bream baked en papillote.


                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

                Makoto

                For fans of fresh sushi it’s hard to beat Stephen Starr’s luxurious Japanese restaurant. With an outdoor patio as the backdrop, guests can enjoy a refined sashimi platter or heaping crab salad. The spicy tuna with crispy rice is in contention for king of the trendy appetizer, and Makoto for king of fine food in a tropical atmosphere.


                (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

                The Surf Club Restaurant

                Thomas Keller’s restaurant inside the Four Seasons Surf Club embodies all the quality and elegance the chef is known for. The eatery is a sparkling mid century oasis by the sea, with all your favorites from a leisurely bygone era. Lobster thermidor, Maryland jumbo lump crab cake and an exquisite lemon meringue tart are just the tip of the iceberg.

                  Head to Las Vegas

                  Vegas is a classic Bachelor and Bachelorette party destination with its nightlife and ‘Sin City’ reputation that lead wedding parties to flock there for an exciting trip. Use the opportunity to splurge on a lavish hotel suite like The Chelsea Penthouse at The Cosmopolitan or the Sky Villa at the Palms Casino Resort.

                  Nightlife is always the main attraction for those looking to go hard or go home during their bride or groom-to-be’s last single night. Start your night at Park MGM’s speakeasy lounge On the Record to toast to a weekend of excitement. Bottle service at XS, Marquee, TAO or one of Vegas’ many favorite nightclub hot spots will give you a home base to call your own as you dance the night away. Stop by Hakkasan to lose yourself in an energetic multi-level nightclub. Make the most of your weekend and reserve a table at a day club like Drais or Encore to have fun in the sun at the lively poolside destinations.




                  Celebrate in Los Angeles

                  World-renowned for its star-studded streets, Los Angeles may be the perfect place for your group to enjoy a wild weekend.

                  Bars and lounges throughout the city boast bartending talent to take your palate on a journey whether it be through a whiskey tasting at Seven Grand or a rum craft cocktail at La Descarga. Your LA trip won’t be complete without booking a table at one of the city’s exclusive nightclubs like Warwick, 1OAK or Poppy to complete your Bachelor or Bachelorette adventure.

                  Plan a Trip to NYC

                  The hustle and bustle of the city might be just what you need to get a little crazy for the weekend. Indulge in a penthouse experience at the James Hotel for your group to live the high life overlooking the skyline. Take in some fresh air while you day drink at Magic Hour or Mr. Purple.

                  Later in the night, duck into one of the city’s many speakeasy-style hot spots like Bathtub Gin or Employees Only or Blind Barber. If you’re ready for a night of partying, get bottle service for your group at PHD Lounge or head to 1OAK NYC if you’d prefer to dance the night away.




                  Party in Miami

                  Take advantage of the sunshine by choosing Miami as your destination for partying and relaxing on the beach with the future bride or groom. You’ll have a private pool and breathtaking ocean view if your group chooses a luxurious penthouse suite at The W South Beach.

                  Your trip won’t be complete without a little day drinking–visit Broken Shaker for a handcrafted cocktail or Jaguar Sun to toast in a refreshing indoor-outdoor space. Miami’s nightlife will have you dancing ‘til dawn at places like E11EVEN, LIV, Rockwell or one of the many other exclusive Miami Beach hot spots, including day party destination Hyde Beach.
