South Beach Miami Nightlife and Nightclubs - Frequently Asked VIP Questions - www.sobevips.com
Got questions? We've got answers!
This FAQ is designed to give you some insight into what SoBeVIPs is all about and the services we provide. We let you know what to expect so you're ready to get the most out of your SoBeVIPs VIP Experience. If there's anything we didn't touch on, feel free to drop us an email at VIP@SoBeVIPs.com.
A VIP Host has an established relationship with the hosts and doormen at most of the clubs around town. Their job, if you choose to use them, is to do all of the work for you, and to ensure that you and your friends have a great time all night. You don’t have to worry about waiting in lines, getting anyone’s attention, making reservations, scheduling limousines, or keeping all of your friends under control time wise. They will take care of everything in advance and walk you through the lines with little-to-no-wait.
SoBe nightclubs and lounges are notoriously hard to get into. Whatever you have seen on TV about the difficulties of getting into these clubs and the ruthless door guys is true and then some. It's not uncommon to be standing out front of a club for 3 hours, only to get shunned by the door guy when you finally make it to the front of the line. So besides the wait, if you have a large group a VIP service is practically a must to ensure everyone gets in at the same time, let alone gets in at all.
Our mission is to make sure you have a great time. We're not saying you can't have a great time on your own, but we can certainly take the inherent hassle out of rocking out in SoBe. It's what we do and we guarantee our work so you come out satisfied every time. If you want to have the best SoBe VIP experience, you can't afford not to use SoBeVIPs.
In addition to our nightlife services, we can plan your entire stay, including hotels, restaurants, daytime activities, exotic car rentals and boat charters. We work with the most popular nightlife destinations and have an excellent relationship with our venues due to the volume of business we conduct.
One of the benefits of our service is that the relationships we have created with South Beach nightclubs enable us to pass on more value to our clients by minimizing the amount of bottles that would normally be required for a large group. Take a group of 10 guys on a bachelor party for example. By booking through SoBeVIPs.com they will receive a private VIP table for as little as 3-4 bottles whereas a group of that size would be required to purchase 6-7 bottles if they went through a local hotel concierge or the club directly, almost doubling their price of admission. Basically, the only power a concierge has is to make a group the table reservation. In addition to getting our group a great deal, we make the reservation and ensure the group is taken care of with respect the entire night. All of our clients are personally consulted and hosted at all times, from walking them into the club to handling all financial transactions within the club itself; allowing them to enjoy the night without worrying about splitting a bill or chasing down a VIP hostess at the end of the night. We are very proud to have a 100% satisfaction rate and reputation of integrity and professionalism in this business. SoBeVIPs is dedicated to making your night out the absolute best it can be.
First off, we will get you in without a problem. No one else can provide the access to the best clubs like SoBeVIPs can. We can get you the absolute best locations at the clubs on the best nights. We've worked hard to get our clients the best hookups around. We offer:
Yes. We are not a company that leaves the door guy a message on his cellphone about your group showing up at midnight. We are going to be right there with you. Your SoBeVIPs host will personally escort you in through the VIP entrance to your table and make sure you're taken care of immediately.
Once your reservation is confirmed you will get a call or an email with your hosts name and cell phone. Your host is available the entire time you are in town and can be reached 24 hours a day for your convenience.
Tipping Policy
Our hosts work for tips. If you feel the service you receive is up to your standards, please feel free to extend a tip. If you would like to extend a tip for past service or future service you can do so online.
Unlike other VIP Hosting services, we are not going to lie and say that you can't go to South Beach nightclubs without us. With the proper planning and execution you can make it inside many of the hottest spots. With that said there are a few important things to know:
Beware of hotel "guest lists." A lot of our clients tell us the same thing: "Last time we were here we were on the list and ended up waiting 2 hours outside and didn't even get in." We know that you didn't spend 2 hours getting ready to stand on a sidewalk all night. We are the only service that can guarantee your admission and tables. You and your party don't want to be left outside the club on a Friday night.
Be VERY wary of websites claiming to sell 'Discount VIP Passes' or 'Discount Nightclub Passes.' Unfortunately these passes are a scam and they will not help you get into a club in South Beach, let alone get to the front of the line. Only our hosted entry passes will actually get you into the club without any issues.
If you've been burned by these services, please email us and let us know so we can put a stop to the scams.
VIP table/bottle service is the ultimate way to experience the nightlife. VIP Table Service ensures you a great location in the club. It's like prime real estate amongst the A-list crowd. You have your own table, your own place to sit, your own bottles of alcohol, mixers, etc. and best of all the VIP area roped off so that not just anyone can get in to bug you. In addition, you will have a "home base" to meet back at if members of your group get separated, which they usually do at crowded clubs.
Hosted Line Passes are guaranteed tickets into the nightclub. Our hosts will personally walk you past the lines and into the nightclub without any wait or cover charge.
The dress code in South Beach is hip and trendy. Girls usually wear a sexy dress and heels and guys are good with nice shoes or stylish sneakers, good jeans or slacks and a button down or polo shirt. The general rule in South Beach is to overdress.
Clubs do not allow shorts, athletic wear, baggy pants or shirts, chains, athletic sneakers, flip flops or Birkenstocks.
Sundays: Pearl, Nikki Beach 1 Ocean Dr This party is either a great end to the weekend or a great start. You can start out in the sand at Nikki Beach listening to great electro house music and drinking mojitos, then shower up and hit Pearl at night. Pearl plays mixed format music at night (hip-hop, house, 80's etc.) at night and has a very strict dress code. Guys, this means no t-shirts and sneakers. Celebrity sightings are normal.
Mondays: BED 929 Washington Ave BED Monday's is a local scene which revolves around a hip-hop dinner party. It's young and fun. Expect to see some HEAT players and maybe some hip hop guys. Miami local Pitbull is there every Monday, and Shaq was there last Monday for example.
Tuesdays: Rok Bar 1906 Collins Ave Rok Bar is, well, a rock bar. It's not CBGB, it's a Miami style rock bar, which means everyone buys ripped clothes on Lincoln Road and goes to Rok Bar. Not that that's a bad thing. Rok Bar is a ton of fun. It's usually packed, so if you can't take shoulder to shoulder rocking this is not the place for you. If you can handle it, expect to be wasted in no time and rocking to the best tunes on XM channel 47.
If Rok Bar doesn't work out for you, try Prive on Tuesday.
Wednesdays: Glass 432 W 41st St Glass is attached to the Forge steakhouse up on 41st. It's a fun party, it's also full of money. This is a great Wednesday if you're on a bach party and need to do dinner and a club. It's always a good time and there's a hip hop as well as a house area. Tons of good looking people, I think you get the idea.
Thursdays: As of Thursday, you start to have some options...
Our recommendation: SET 320 Lincoln Road This place is brand new and pretty spectacular. They have a mixed format, mostly beautiful local people and is by far the best thing going on Thursday nights.
Other spots: Mansion 1235 Washington Ave Mansion's Party has come and gone and it seems to be back again with Stephan at the helm. I would come late and stay late if you're planning on going. Mixed format, locals and tourists.
Fridays: Mansion 1235 Washington Ave The original hip hop party. They usually have a celebrity guest and it's a good mix of tourists and locals. The entire main dancing area is closed to VIP on Fridays.
Prive 136 Collins Ave Fridays at Prive also seem to be back. It's a mixed format and packed with young people.
Snatch 1437 Washington Ave A sort of rock bar, sort of club. Good times are had here. Like Rok Bar, it's usually jam packed.
Saturdays Lots of options. It's the biggest party night of the week.
Prive 136 Collins Ave They close Prive to VIP only on Saturdays, and the crowd shows it. Very fun mixed format scene with friendly staff and good tunes. Local hip hop celebrities are here every Saturday.
Mynt 1921 Collins Ave Mynt is still rocking on Saturdays. The scene upstairs is full of beautiful people showing ridiculous amounts of spending power. It's a house music place, and if you like that kind of music like me, you will be happy all night. They have a hip hop room downstairs that is all redone, but is really hit or miss.
Mokai 235 23rd street Mokai is brand new. It's a beautiful place and tends to attract people that got bored with Mynt. It's full of South Beach models and bottles. The music is mixed and drinks are pricey.
Suite 439 Washington Ave Suite is a blast on Saturdays. It's a house music night and the crowd is nothing but 9's and 10's. Expect celebrities and an empty wallet, but a great time.
Everything cool in SoBe is within about 30 blocks, which makes it easy to get around.
