Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
A night of drinking in Coconut Grove can feel like some kind of extreme sports competition. The rickshaw dudes pop wheelies, testing their passengers’ fluid-retention skills. Down the street at the Tavern, University of Miami students seem to be competing to see how many people can fit into a bar the size of a phone booth. The debauched minds at Mr. Moe’s have taken the challenge a step further. On Wednesday nights, they crank the country music and roll out the mechanical bull. The patron who can master the bucking bovine for all of eight seconds walks away with a $50 bar tab.
