The Abbey Brewing Company

One of the oldest bars in Miami, this is the place to come for wonderful homemade brews and nibbles at the bar.  With the look and the feel of a European bar or pub, it is much more casual than many of the other spots in South Beach.  Feel free to stop by here for a drink before you head back to change for the evening.

In addition to its beers, that change frequently, the Abbey boast a nice wine list and spirits.  This is also a lovely place to come as your evening winds down.  Drop in for a cigar and a great glass of port.

Automatic Slims

Every once in a while, you want to escape the velvet ropes, go out for the evening in jeans and a t-shirt and hang out in a dive bar.  The bar much have great music, great drinks, and great people to meet and talk to.  Automatic Slims is just such a place.

The music is classic rock, hip hop, and 80s anthems — songs to which everyone in the place knows every word and sings along.  The drinks are strong and large; there is no cover and no minimum spend.  The crowd is a good mix of locals and visitors; but, by the end of the night, everyone in the place will feel like an old friend.

Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge

Even in Miami, it rains occasionally.  If you find yourself with a rainy afternoon, head over to Lucky Strikes for a fun few hours of bowling, pool, and drinks.  While children are admitted during the day, after 9:00, the bar has a strict over-21 policy.

Fourteen bowling lanes ensures you won’t have to wait for long before you attempt your first strike.  While you are waiting, you can play a game of pool or simply hang out on one of the sofas or at the bar and watch a myriad of sporting events being shown on the numerous big screens.  The drinks are large and strong, and the food is good.
