The Grove Spot

Clean design characterizes this simple joint’s appeal. During the day, sunlight fills the two room interior. At dusk, the comfortable porch is the perfect place for a cool drink. And at night the small bar is a good place to grab a seat, chat up your neighbor, or watch the game on the flat screen […]

Happy’s Stork Lounge and Liquor

If you seek a place where the booze is cheap and the patrons are salty drunks, look no further than this bar and package store on the 79th Street Causeway, midway between the mainland and the beach. Order a beer or cheap-for-Miami-rail cocktail and strike up a conversation with someone who will proceed to fill […]

Haven

The snow-capped mountain range is dazzlingly white against an impossibly blue sky, and snowflakes slowly drift to the rhythm of the Tom Tom Club. The Tom Tom Club? Don’t ask questions; just go with the flow. The wraparound LCD walls might soon change to images of the Mediterranean. A thousand or so ice-cube lights running […]

House Nightclub

The best parties are always house parties, so it’s only natural that House Nightclub tries to re-create that experience every night. Once you possess a “house key,” you are free to explore the venue, located on the edge of where Wynwood meets Overtown. You enter through the high-tech foyer/living room, where silver bubbles in the […]

The Hoxton

Ebony wooden floors, built-in book shelves with picture frames on the walls, and huge, striped couches that can fit an army of party-goers are not what you would expect to find at a Brickell lounge. Named after the hip street in London in the area of Charlotte, the Hoxton has a laid-back, “urban beach house” […]

Hurricane Grill & Wings

The highlight of Hurricane Grill & Wings is the seemingly endless choice of sauces – 32, to be exact – that flavor the wings. They are broken down into groups ranging from category one (mild) to category five (seek shelter) and include flavors as varied as barbecue, Jamaican jerk, and “ridiculously hot hurricane sauce.” It […]

Hyde Beach

Time for some real talk: It’s damn difficult to mess up a poolside bar in Miami. You’re beside a pool. There’s a bar. You purchase cocktails, dip your feet into the water, and basically live the American dream as you sip your way to the bottom. How hard can this be, people? Yet an astonishing […]

The Irish Times Pub & Eatery

For decades, University of Miami students have been trying to dupe the bouncers at this Celtic-themed tavern within walking distance of campus. Yet no matter how closely they resemble their older cousin’s expired driver’s license photo, the bouncer, propped on his stool outside the double doors, inevitably refuses to let them in. Poor underage drinkers. […]

Jada Coles

Located directly on Coral Way right off 22nd Avenue, Jada Coles blends just enough comfort to be deemed “laid back” with just enough quirkiness to be deemed charming. Couches are nooked towards the front of the space, while mix and minglers can sit at the high tops next to the pool table or float around […]
