Brickell Irish Pub

Brickell Irish Pub is rather like a very dark sports bar: lots of plasma TV sets, rock music, and so forth. If that’s not your cup of brew, there’s a brighter, quieter outdoor dining patio. Either way, you can choose from dozens of bottled beers at $4.50 to $5.50 and ten drafts at $6.25 per […]

Broken Shaker

What began in 2012 as a pop-up has evolved into a Miami Beach institution, now entering a fresh chapter under new ownership. This courtyard bar at the Freehand Hotel, with its twinkling lights and lush tropical surroundings, recently transitioned from Bar Lab founders Gabe Orta and Elad Zvi to New York’s Authentic Hospitality group (who […]

Brother’s Keeper

In 2024, four local hospitality veterans teamed up to open a much-needed neighborhood bar in the upper-left-hand corner of South Beach in 2024. Named after the first-ever episode of Miami Vice, the retro-inspired spot is the perfect blend of kitsch and substance, with an inventive food menu that features options like bacon-wrapped dates with valdeón […]

Bryson’s Irish Pub

This bar, lounge, grill, and package liquor store in historic Virginia Gardens offers a friendly, hospitable, Cheers-like environment. There is a weekly karaoke party where patrons of all ages let loose and sing their hearts out. The happy hour always attracts a host of regulars ready to talk your ear off. The joint’s proximity to […]

BT’s Gentlemen’s Club

This South Miami strip club offers all the basic amenities. There are fully naked women dancing on a stage around poles for tips, indoor smoking, 2 for 1 drink specials, and VIP dances. The club is comfortable if not luxurious, and the women are attractive. Weekend nights offer the most activity with patrons and dancers […]

Buck15

Miami Beach has been waiting for this beautiful dive to re-open ever since it left its former home above a Chinese restaurant. Now that Buck is finally here again, fans can get back to the affordable drinks, lack of cover charge, and crash pad decor that made it a favorite in the first place. Most […]

Burger & Beer Joint

This sister location to the South Beach Burger & Beer Joint has the same rock & roll attitude. It’s a sports bar, lounge, and restaurant. This should come as no surprise, because it is the creation of Automatic Slims’ owner and a former general manager of SushiSamba. If you look at the 99 beer varieties […]

Burger & Beer Joint

This South Beach hangout has more attitude than a Hell’s Angel. OK, perhaps that’s pushing it a little, but it’s a sports bar, lounge, and restaurant that is definitely more than just a tatted-up Mickey D’s. (This should come as no surprise, because it is the creation of Automatic Slims’ conceptual owner and a former […]

Cafe Iguana Pines

Dining here would seem to be a completely superfluous activity (just try to find a menu online) compared to the real draw of the place: Ten bars with nearly 100 televisions; a “Media Room” beaming eight satellite sports stations at once; big-party weekend blowouts with VIP rooms, $250 bottles of liquor and a $10 cover […]

Cafeina Wynwood Lounge

One day, 23rd Street might resemble Ocean Drive, but for now, it’s a dark street on a dark block on a dark side of town. This bar and lounge, the Wynwood Cafe District’s first, is an oasis. The venue includes a spacious outdoor area with couches under glowstick-lit tree branches, a goth-like candlelit interior, an […]

Cebada Rooftop

Cebada, the Spanish word for barley, is an ode to the now-shuttered Barley, which was located in Dadeland. Cebada Rooftop finds the same owners, Jorge Ramos Sr. and his son Jorgie Ramos, operating atop a one-story building in Coral Gables. Prior to opening in August 2021, the bar was in the works for more than […]
