Seven Miami Bars for Your Next Game Night

It's game time, Miami.

Sometimes that round of Battleship doesn't belong at the kitchen table. And occasionally, you might have the urge to throw a dart or two. Or maybe you just want to play some videogames away from your go-to couch. There's a seat at a bar for you out there where you can play your favorites over a round of drinks.

Here are seven places to get your game on in and around Miami.
1. Lost Weekend. You can easily lose an entire weekend at Lost Weekend. Go figure, right? The Miami Beach mainstay boasts a slew of faves — air hockey, darts, and foosball — scattered throughout its open layout. If you want to play pool, there are a few tables as well. For fun, wager one of Lost Weekend’s signature cheesesteaks on your next game. 218 Española Way, Miami Beach; 305-672-1707; lostweekendmiami.com. Monday through Saturday 4 p.m. to 5 a.m., Sunday noon to 5 a.m.
2. Better Days. Calle Ocho isn’t the only place in Miami to bring your domino A-game. Brickell’s Better Days is a cozy spot that also offers a handful of board games, Jenga, and dominoes. Free popcorn adds to the relaxed vibe — you’ll want to kick back and drink for hours. 75 SE Sixth St., Miami; 786-220-7690; betterdaysmiami.com. Daily 5 p.m. to 5 a.m.
