Monterrey Bar

Miami Beach, Florida

Monterrey Bar is the lobby cocktail bar of The Standard Spa on Belle Isle, named after the Monterrey Motel that Norman Giller designed on the site in 1953. The small room is built around a T-shaped bar topped in Amazonite stone, with Afromosia wood panelling, a Murano glass chandelier and a set of 1980s pop art prints by Geoffrey Rose on the shelves. The list is mostly stirred drinks and twists on classics, with a Japanese and Chinese leaning bar menu, a weekday aperitivo hour and vinyl sets on weekends.
