This is one of the cleanest bars and lounges I've ever been to in Wilton Mannors and after living here 26 years and seeing the cleanliness every day, I am utterly surprised came here last night with my husband to have a few drinks and some food. It was amazing. My husband really liked it as well, he had their signature drink the wild, and I had their signature drink just the tip they were amazing. They weren't like the rest of the bars on Wilton manners where all you taste is alcohol, you could actually taste the different flavors in the drink. I thought we were for sure on an episode on tv , the owners , Carlos and Javier also are hands on owners who work the bar and the crowd every day of the week , the staff is also very amazing

🍸🍻🍹☕️🕺🩲 What’s Next? Probably another Red Bull. This bar and lounge makes fantastic use of its cozy space, almost feeling like it borrowed the best ingredients from its neighboring spots and mixed them into something uniquely its own. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the entertainment during peak hours kept the energy high all night. Definitely a place I’ll be asking, “What’s Next?” about again.

I went to Next Lounge, the newest bar on the Drive in Wilton Manors, to see Ellie’s first show—and what a way to experience this new venue ✨ Ellie absolutely delivered. There was a confidence and joy on that stage that felt effortless, like he truly found his home. It’s the kind of performance that pulls you in and keeps you there. And the best part? This won’t be a one-time thing—Ellie will be performing every other Monday, and trust me, it’s worth making it part of your routine 💫 But let’s talk about the space itself… Next Lounge is exactly what Wilton Manors didn’t know it was missing. Javier and Deiler created something that feels elevated yet completely approachable. The design is stylish and immersive, the energy is relaxed but vibrant, and it actually lives up to the word “lounge”—you settle in and don’t want to leave. The drinks? Thoughtfully crafted and seriously good. The bites? Perfect little indulgences. The vibe? Effortless, social, and just the right amount of sexy. This place isn’t just a new bar—it’s a whole experience. Whether you’re going for the performances, the cocktails, or just a night out with friends, Next Lounge delivers on every level.

I attended Next Bar this past Monday April, 20th for Ellie’s opening show! Can we talk about how you immediately feel sexy when you walk in?! The place is a gem 💙 A huge congratulations goes to the boys Javier and Deiler for creating such an upscale and intimate experience. Behind the bar was Joseph along with Javier and Deiler making sure all guests were taken care of. Although there was only standing room available, Deiler made his way over as soon as he saw us to make sure we would have somewhere to be seated. The service was not only efficient but they are all very attentive to the guests. Ellie was spectacular on stage delivering confidence, vocals and most importantly connecting with his audience. You can see him every other Monday! The drinks are creative and delicious. If you haven’t visited yet…. Please stop in , you won’t regret it. What a beautiful venue! Thank you boys!

Carlos/Deiler and Javier have opened and are running a lovely evening spot for well-crafted cocktails, live music rotated through many excellent professionals, dancers, and a warm, welcoming vibe that is smoothly executed with consistency. Handicap accessible, including the lavatory. Several bar stools and many smaller tables and chairs are able to be moved about for seating options, including a wheelchair at a floor-table.
