Located on the upstairs level of the Beach Boathouse on North Avenue Beach, this Phil Stefani-run bar and grill is something you'd expect to find in South Beach--especially due to all the bikini-clad coeds sauntering around on hot, sunny days. Downstairs concession stands serve hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream, but the rooftop is a full-service bar and restaurant. Weekends feature live music, including rock, retro and contemporary bands. Beach wear welcome.
