T  ransit Lounge sort of feels like that airport bar that is frequented by a mixed-bag clientele stopping in for a sip before their flight. Replace ‘airport’ with ‘Metrorail’ and you’re not too far off – Transit Lounge is literally located under a Metrorail overpass.
From Latin dancing on Saturdays (featuring Los Herederos, Cuban rumba) to a mock game of Twister, it’s no holds barred at Transit. Did I mention the dominos and Jenga?
Owner Isabel Aguero Kling spent time traveling through Europe before settling down in this neck of Miami, the result is a curious addition to the city’s bar scene. Manned by a beefy doorman behind a velvet curtain, you might think Transit Lounge a more discriminating drinkery until the pool tables and darts reveal its laid-back, put-your-feet-on-our-sofa kind of feel.
Tired of the cliques, Kling focused on opening a bar where everyone would feel welcome. Monday’s featuring a J.A.M (Just Another Monday) where anyone can play while local Latin legend Nil Lara plays monthly gigs. Want a change and not sure where to go? Venture to Transit Lounge where there is no such thing as ‘the usual crowd.’
