Do Not Sit On The Furniture — Restaurant in Miami Beach

I normally do not do reviews, but I feel like this review would be very necessary and helpful. For a place that charges $60.00 for entrance fee is absolute garbage if they’re not able to tell the difference between a real ID and a fake ID, let alone have an ID machine checker!! If they charge you $60.00 to get in, they should be able to afford an ID machine to check if IDs are legit. I am from NJ and was there on a vacation. The bouncer checked my ID (im 22) and didn’t believe it was real because I looked young, so he had the manager involved. The manager also thought my ID was fake, so he will not give the ID back until the cops come to verify it. Additionally, the bouncer checked my friend’s ID first since I was behind my friend and he was approved to go in. Mind you, he is 24 and looks 24, BUT HE HAS THE SAME EXACT ID AS MINE (NJ drivers license), and they didn’t think to compare my ID with his. They were gonna let him in, and not me just because I look young. I called the cops and waited for them to come. While waiting, the manager was talking to one of his fellow friends about just how fake my ID was. I definitely needed my ID back and I insisted on just getting it back and I won’t come attend the club anymore just because I needed that ID to travel back home since I didn’t bring my passport with me. But no, he needed the cops to come and verify it and after the cops came and verified my ID was VALID, the manager started apologizing and let us in for free, and gave my friend and I drinks on the house. That honestly doesn’t satisfy me because it was still very poor service just given overall. In other words, this place honestly just wasted my time. I understand that this place or any place in general has individuals with fake IDs trying to get in, but if that’s the case, then atleast know the difference between a real and a fake and have a book or an ID CHECKER!! So simple lol. Other clubs in Miami Beach or Miami either had an ID checker, an ID textbook to indicate if the IDs are real, or the bouncers just knew the difference between fakes and real. Before trying to go into this place, I’ve been to Liv, E11even, and other bars and clubs and they never gave me a hard time. Liv and E11even are high class nightclubs and they didn’t even need an ID checker to see if my ID was valid. In other words, don’t come here and waste your time if you already look young, or if you’re an adult with an ID from another state. This club isn’t even worth $60 and again, they can’t even indicate the difference between a real and a fake. JUST TO REPEAT, they checked my friends NJ drivers license and it’s valid, but me??? Nope....

typical trash overpriced south beach club. I don't understand why people fall for this tourist trap. i went at 10PM entrance was $30 a person which I find ridiculous for someone like me that actually spends money on drink. I decided to walk around to see what other options there was and since everything was closed I came back and they wanted to charge me $40 a person. Expensive to pay for a club considering I am a spender but I politely asked if I can go inside and check out the vibe while my friends wait outside. The doorman says no and when I ask why, he tries to act tough asking me if I think I can make the rules here and "I've already answered your question you can't make the rules here" . Normally, he would get put in his place because I am not the guy to act tough with, I treat everyone with respect and a simple "sorry bro boss doesn't want that" would've been fine. We were 3 guys, ready to spend and make it a good night, on a Thursday but this guy ruined the vibe.

I feel like the dump South Beach has become, this is becoming normal behavior and people don't have enough self respect to do something about it, so let me bring you back to reality. Respectfully, at the end of the day, you are a doorman. Maybe the fact that you get a little authority refusing little kids that are too drunk or too young to get in got to your head. Learn a bit of respect and maybe a real club will hire you. Take it easy buddy, you are just a doorman.

All around rude and unprofessional greeting at the door. Money hungry vibes with not much to offer. If you want a classy place with cool vibes, I would avoid this place. Matter of fact, avoid South Beach,...

In a clout-chasing, too cool for the dance floor and at times overwhelming raving amongst thousands of sweaty zombies partying world we live in, Do Not Sit on the Furniture is a breath of fresh air.

Owners / husband and wife combination of Behrouz and Megan Nazari truly bring out the best of their abilities with their curation of a magical space that is Do Not Sit and in a place, South Beach, that is not exactly renowned for electronic dance music (or at least the good kind). With over 30 years of DJ’ing domestic and internationally, Behrouz has expertly curated the placement of speakers, amplifiers, DJ equipment and lighting with purpose and it is embodied glowingly in the club’s experience for its patrons. And much like the brand which entails production and events around the world, Megan brings forth both a caring, genuine and personable element while also overseeing the club’s operations. This power-couple’s yin and yang characteristics are truly one-of-a-kind and one that is well-respected by industry heads across the world.

Do Not Sit does not “try hard” or conform to that which is cool, hip and trending. A small and intimate space meant for dancing and taking in music with a great outdoor space perfect for cooling off (depending on the season) or people-watching at its finest. The staff are warm and friendly while operating with camaraderie as a tight-knit group which is something that lacks in most nightlife spaces.

Miami certainly has an attractive nightlife scene with immense options which continue to grow, but there is a reason Do Not Sit on the Furniture has been operating for over 10 years and I hope...
