Overview
Downstairs at Pierre’s (MM 81.6, 81600 Overseas Hwy), the Green Flash Lounge is a handsome, mahogany‑and‑rattan hideaway that spills onto a breezy lower veranda right on the beach. It’s all about sunsets, well‑made cocktails, and a relaxed, romantic pace.
What to Expect
Inside, it feels polished and clubby; outside, you’re a few steps from the sand with a west‑facing view that turns golden at dusk. The drink list pulls from Pierre’s excellent wine and spirits program, with small bites to match. Expect a special‑occasion setting without the stuffiness.
Hours and Scene
The lounge runs daily 5:00–10:00 pm, with Happy Hour Monday–Friday from 5:00–7:00 pm. Outdoor seating is first‑come, first‑served, so arrive early if you want a veranda spot. The dress vibe skews smart and refined to fit Pierre’s fine‑dining feel. On weekends, the broader venue sometimes tilts livelier (think DJ/dancing upstairs on Friday and Saturday nights), while the lounge stays cocktail‑forward and sunset‑minded.
Pair It With Dinner Upstairs
If you’re planning dinner at Pierre’s after drinks, make reservations—the restaurant is fine dining and popular. Note that outdoor tables (including the upstairs balcony) aren’t guaranteed; they’re assigned on arrival.
Practicalities
You’re on a private resort property with on‑site parking, indoor restrooms, and Wi‑Fi. Service is polished, and pricing reflects the setting.
Best Time to Visit
Weekdays are the sweet spot: slide in between 5:00 and 5:30 pm to catch Happy Hour and claim a west‑facing seat before the sunset crowd. For a quieter vibe, aim Sunday–Thursday; if you like energy, Friday and Saturday nights bring more buzz across the property.
