Burgers, Tacos, and Ladies' Night at Commonwealth
Stocked with more than 100 whiskeys and enough grub to keep even the pickiest of diners satisfied, a new South Beach speakeasy-style craft kitchen is worth visiting for the better part of a night out. Commonwealth, which opened this past November, is the neighborhood's first bar dedicated to more than just booze. On Mondays, its signature burger — where a thick patty is hugged by slices of brioche bun and a yolky egg nests inside the top bun — costs $5. On Tuesdays, snag $2 tacos, and on Thursdays, ladies can enjoy a three-course meal and endless wine for $25.
Play bartender this Tuesday from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. during Toro Toro's mixology class, which will feature three Kettle Vodka variations and blind tastings for $30 per person. Upon arrival, receive a complimentary cocktail and copper stone Kettle One mug. For reservations, call 305-372-4710.
