The Blind Monk
An intimate wine bar with a deep by-the-glass list, charcuterie and a low-lit room that stays conversational — the antidote to a loud night on Clematis.
Mizner Park$$
Blue Martini Boca
A Mizner Park mainstay with live bands seven nights a week, a long martini list and a patio that spills onto Plaza Real. The default first stop of a Boca night out.
