"Industrial chic meets tropical kitsch at this Collins Park bar, just a few steps from the Bass Museum but far enough off the main tourist drag to still be somewhat low key. (Somewhat.) Still, the bar isn’t letting all that praise go to its head. Even as more tourists put Sweet Liberty on their To Drink list, the crew is doing everything it can to maintain that comfortable, neighborhood bar feel. It opens early and closes late, catering to early birds and nighthawks alike. For an after-work drink or intimate tête-à-tête, come for happy hour, when it’s still quiet. If you’d prefer to sway to the sounds of an in-house DJ until the sun rises, Sweet Liberty’s got your back until 5 a.m." - Jennifer M. Wood
