Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Co.

What Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Co. does

Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Co. is a privately held cocktail bar and restaurant founded in 2016 and located at 237-B 20th Street in Miami Beach's Collins Park area, adjacent to the Bass Art Museum. The venue was conceived and operated by four co-founders: award-winning bartender John Lermayer, cocktail industry operator Dan Binkiewicz, and restaurateurs David Martinez and Michelle Bernstein. The establishment operates daily from 4 PM to 5 AM and serves a craft cocktail program, a creative American food menu, a curated beer and wine list, a daily happy hour (4–8 PM), and Sunday brunch (12–5 PM). It also hosts private events for groups of eight or more.

The product portfolio is structured around physical hospitality rather than a technology platform. Core offerings include cocktails (with prices ranging from $15 to $18 for craft drinks and a free-spirits non-alcoholic tier), a full food menu (priced $5–$37), beer and wine (including champagne bottles up to $325), and seasonal specials. The underlying technology stack is composed of third-party SaaS integrations: OpenTable, Resy, and SevenRooms for reservations; Tripleseat for private event management; and Integgo as the digital menu platform. No proprietary technology, app, or AI capability is documented.

The business model is transactional — pay-as-you-go food and beverage sales — supplemented by private event bookings. GTM is direct-to-consumer via walk-in service, online reservations, and a social media presence on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. The customer base is a horizontal mix of Miami Beach tourists (drawn to the Collins Park/Bass Art Museum area) and local residents, with no enterprise or B2B contracts. The company has no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no institutional investors; it appears to be founder-owned and independently operated. The bar has received extensive industry recognition, including a #21 ranking on World's 50 Best Bars in 2018.
