For those of you who are more keen on skipping dinner for New Year's Eve, the next logical alternative is to hit up a local bar.

On this list is everything from Brickell Irish Pub to Ted's Hideaway to Churchill's to Tobacco Road.

Some of them have $50 open-bar promos, which, to be frank, is a better deal than you'd get at a nightclub on NYE in Miami.
