The ScapeGoat

A TRUE CREATURE COMFORT BAR! When you are exhausted from the beat booming', dance light flickering, 100+ chair joints along the several main strips of South Beach, and you are all about to give up on finding the bar you have yet to find and finally have that cocktail you've been pining for all day in a space that says exhale and return to sanity, you will do best to do yourself a favor and GO HERE!!! The cocktails at The Scapegoat are bespoke, intuitively designed for your palette, delivered by a server who truly provides the service that service workers respect, tip their glass to and customers should appreciate and look for from other establishments. Not to slag off any other Miami bar servers, because it's a tough gig to always shine within, but Tom Lasher-Walker (the owner) was amazing and provided me with an evening of cocktail bliss, phenomenal service and industry-sympathetic chat (it's rough out there right now folks, SUPPORT THE SERVICE INDUSTRY! DRINK MORE!!!). Where this man goes for future pursuits, you should follow, for his drink list is specially curated and gives props to the establishments and individuals that have gifted theses refreshing & complex delights (punk rock cred matters to some of us). This review may seem lofty with the compliments, but they are all true and deserved. The only shit part of this review is that I found a great new spot, but live on the west coast so cannot attend in the frequency I'd like to. Thank Tom! Cheers and come to SF with your wife!

Walked across this place and so glad we did! Amazing cocktails and great service! The server was super knowledgeable and friendly

Walked in a Friday night and loved it! Tom, Nate and Stephen were delightful. Felt like a friendly get together vs. a traditional bar. The bartenders checked up on me a few times and I felt extremely safe and comfortable there as a lady. The drinks are fire and go down very easy. Def make an effort to pop in and say hello if you’re in the neighborhood. 🙂

Stopped here for a couple of drinks before a dinner reservation around the corner. The atmosphere was super nice. Out bartender was fantastic! We chit chatted and he was playing great music. The place might seem closed when you first walk in, but it definitely isn’t. Great place for a quieter vibe.

Wasn’t my first time going to Scape Goat and won’t be my last. We came for a master class on daiquiris and we learned so much! Beyond that, the atmosphere was amazing and the drinks were beyond. Can’t wait to come back and get the full experience.

Great hidden spot. From outside looks closed. Definitely worth a stop. Music a tad too loud but service and drinks are great

One of my favorite bars in South Beach! The atmosphere is dark, cozy, and romantic perfect for a first date or an intimate night out. The bartender took real care in crafting my drink and made me one of the best Last Words I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for top-notch classic cocktails with great attention to detail, this spot is a must.
