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...

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 patron who can master the bucking bovine for all of eight seconds walks away with a $50 bar tab.
