Mango’s Tropical Café

Top choice in South Beach


A mix of Latin-loving locals and visitors from far-flung corners of the globe mix things up at this famous bar on Ocean Dr. Every night feels like a celebration, with a riotously fun vibe, and plenty of entertainment: namely minimally dressed staff dancing on the bar, doing Michael Jackson impersonations, shimmying in feather headdresses or showing off some amazing salsa moves.

It's a kitschy good time, which doesn't even take into consideration the small dance floor and stage in the back, where brassy Latin bands get everyone moving. As with other spots on Ocean Dr, the drinks are ridiculously overpriced (around $10 for a beer and $20 for a cocktail).
