The Vibe
John Lermayer built a world-class cocktail program inside what feels like a neighborhood dive — mismatched furniture, no velvet rope, and bartenders who genuinely care about what's in your glass. Co-owned with restaurateur Michelle Bernstein, it's the rare Miami bar where the food is as thought-through as the drinks.
