Eddie’s Place

Now in its 41st year, Eddie’s Place was named after owner Wanda’s late husband, who co-owned the bar. A semi-modern-day Cheers whose patrons seem really attached to the place, the no-frills pub has played host over the years to four weddings and at least one funeral. “Everybody knows everybody else’s business, and what they don’t […]

El Rincon De Quisqueya

Next time you’re up North Miami way and jonesing for some cheap, authentic eats – sidle up to this Dominican cafeteria of sorts. Stuff your empty tummy with white and red beans, pork ribs, stewed beef, spaghetti and rotisserie chicken. The offerings change daily, but you always count on a satisfying homemade meal. A small […]

Elbo Room

Not many bars can boast the style heft of the Elbo Room, which has been slinging drinks since 1938. The dual-level bar blessed with direct views of Fort Lauderdale Beach became the ultimate spring-break destination for your grandparents when a little film called Where the Boys Are was released in 1961. And, although it looks […]

Fado Irish Pub

Fado Irish Pub isn’t your typical beer joint – it’s probably one of the best-staffed bars in Miami-Dade. Everywhere you turn, there’s someone there to take your order. Located in busy Mary Brickell Village, the pub is a great place to meet for happy hour drinks or to watch a rugby game. The cavernous space […]

Fat Monkey Bar

Everyone knows a turn at karaoke requires more than a little liquid lubrication. Luckily, the Fat Monkey Bar gets you all boozed up with frozen daquiris, beer and champagne galore before you take to the stage for a butchered rendition of “Don’t Stop Believing.” This Homestead outpost is big on the drink specials; ladies even […]

FDR Lounge at the Delano

When the Delano Hotel builds a club, it’s always sexy. This one is no exception. The subterranean venue offers the same level of visual appeal as the models who frequent it. Don’t be shocked by the price of drinks, they’re normal for South Beach. Expect surprise appearances by stars of stage, and screen as well […]

The Field Irish Pub & Eatery

For two decades, the Field has brought Ireland to South Florida. The bar began as a small cottage but has expanded to five dining rooms, a bar, and a big patio bar under a stately banyan tree. Here, find a fine pour of Ireland’s elixir, Guinness stout, along with Smithwick’s (pronounced “Smiddicks”) red Irish ale. […]

Finnegan’s Road

Despite the name, this haven from the Lincoln Road fashion parade is actually more rock bar than Irish pub, and the paraphernalia on the walls suggests “football,” not “Saint Patrick.” The blue glow emanating from the long, glass-block bar is practically the only light in the place, aside from the flicker of the numerous TV […]

Fox’s Lounge

For seven decades, Fox’s Sherron Inn was Miami’s dark bar: a place to drink martinis, canoodle with a secret paramour, or forget your troubles with (or without) a buddy. Fox’s closed in July 2015, but Lost Boy & Co.’s Chris Hudnall and Randy Alonso (see also Tropezón and Brother’s Keeper) have reconstituted the joint as […]

Foxhole

Meet the new Foxhole – a complete renovation of the old Foxhole that delivers an elevated experience with Asian accents. Come for DJs playing feel-good tunes from the ’80s and Disco eras on vinyl, plus a viewing bar for sporting events in the evenings that shifts into a listening bar at night hosted by DJs […]
