Who is No. 1? Bleau Bar at the Fontainebleau on Miami Beach, which TheTravel said:
Relax with a beverage in hand and take in the history of the Fontainebleau, which has played host to some of the biggest names in show business since the 1950s and 1960s. The Bleau Bar in the hotel lobby has a long history of serving as a hangout for Hollywood's elite.
