1395 Brickell Ave.,
Brickell
305-503-6500


Here's the deal, Johnny Vegas: roll a 2 or a 5 and you get a free glass of tasty vino. Don't and you pay $5, still about 1/3 of what this Hilton-owned bar charges for its grapes. I know that sorta sucks (get it?), but at least you can enjoy the sickest (maybe the only sick) view of downtown mia.

Look, you grew some cajones and now have a date with a sweet latin dime. Show her you're not the type of gringo who thinks Bongos is for real and take her to this spot, which is filled with poets, businessmen, and others in search of good latin music, inventive modern Cuban fare, and arguably the most killer selection of mojitos in the city. C'mon, asere, make it happen.

I'm in finance, yes. That's why I'm here, I meet clients here. I like the ocean breeze, the ubiquitous South Beach lounge music. And I LOVE Palm vodka. It's my drink of choice. Shit, gotta run, it's 9:00, markets are opening in, er, Tokyo, or Zimbabwe, or, shit, cya.

Coral Gables


I know what you're thinking: "why should I go to the GABLES when there is so much to be consumed elsewhere? Well, it's simple: vive en Miami, dude. Translation: disco, salsa, and marengue all become considerably easier after 6 vodka tees.

Domo Japones

Sum Yum Gai
1403 Washington Ave.,
South Beach
305-604-8889


Fine, that's not the real event title. Sum Yum doesn't have time for clever headlines and glossy flyers. But that's certainly how most denizens feel after a plate of Kung Pao chicken and 72 ounces of swipe.

Yuca
501 Lincoln Rd.,
Apt. 309
South Beach


Cuban-style salsa, also called Casino, can be danced either on the down beat or the upbeat. Beats 1,3,5 and 7 are downbeats and 2,4,6 and 8 are upbeats. In other words, you're screwed. So before you try your luck at the Casino, suck down a few of Miami's finest mojitos. Y baila, amigo. Baila.

South Beach
305-532-2311


Foofy consumer rights groups in the UK claim that "buy one get one free" is a deceptive business practice, and as a result such offers are often dubbed "buy one, throw the other away". Where's the trash? This just became a true open bar.
Happy Hourcomplimentary hors d'oeuvres, $6 cocktails / 6:00pm-7:00pm

If you don't want to drop a hex on a killer cocktail, show up for the toothsome bites (courtesy of Chef Michael Gilligan), which will no doubt be reproduced in liquid form at 2:45 am somewhere between The Room and, well, your bathroom.

Moonchine Asian Bistro
7100 Biscayne Blvd.,

During World War II, Kamikaze pilots drank sake prior to carrying out their missions. I suggest you do the same before launching a full-throttle offensive on your Naoko Yamano-inspired waitress.

Overton
305-379-0508


A little less Mott the Hoople and a little more "hey I have friends that are gay", but all in all, if you don't have fun at this party (which has been going on forever), you'll probably realize why you never get laid.
Group ShowComplimentary Artsy Booze / 7:00pm-10:00pm
Fredric Snitzer Gallery
2247 NW 1st Place,
Wynwood


A pretty dope group show featuring works by Terence Koh, Luis Gispert, Hernan Bas, Jon Pylypchuk, and Assume Vivid Astro Focus, among others. If I had any of those names I'd be playing bass for the Vandermark Five.

Gallery ProjectsComplimentary Artsy Booze / 7:00pm-10:00pm
David Castillo Gallery
2234 NW 2nd Ave.,
Wynwood


David's gallery is the kind of place you wished you lived in. Of course, you're the type of dude who doesn't have enough pennies to pay for a drink, let alone rent a killer industrial art space in Wynwood.
Martin Oppel & Cary KwokComplimentary Artsy Booze / 7:00pm-10:00pm
Emmanuel Perotin

While you're checking out Martin's fantastic work, impress the crowd with this jape: What did the artist say to the dentist? Matisse hurt.

Dot Fifty-One Gallery
51 NW 36 St.,

This month, the Dot features an exhibition of international artists, including Ruddy Candillon, whose work is sort of like an episode of Miami Vice that was shot in Tokyo. Where everybody was rolling the entire time.

Soca Sunday @ The Biltmore1/2 off Ten Cane Rum Mojitos, Flamenco music, no cover / 2:00pm-6:00pm
Biltmore Hotel
1200 Anastasia Ave,
Coral Gables


Flamenco is a Spanish musical genre with strong, rhythmic undertones. It is often accompanied with a similarly impassioned style of dance characterized by its powerful yet graceful execution, as well as its intricate hand and footwork. None of which you'll have after trying to cure your epic hangover with four mojitos.

Monday I am always poor. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday too. Oh, Saturday can't spend a dime on you, but Tuesday, I'm in love. She may not like The Cure, but she'll be your Lovecat after a few bottles of discounted Mendoza.

Whitehall Hotel
808 Collins Ave.,
Apt. 309
South Beach


The real reason for drinking is the desire to behave a certain way, and to subsequently be able to blame it on alcohol. So take this hour to justify the handjob you'll try to procure at 4:00am from your roommate's little cousin. In a cab.
Happy Hourentire bar 2 for 1 / 8:00am-7:00pm
Mac's Club Deuce
222 14th St,
South Beach


Oh, I know what you're thinking. "Dude, this is NOT an open bar." Simmer down, tight-fisted twat. When drinks are already about as cheap as a roadside arepa, the least you could do is cough up a coupla quarters and make it appear as if you serve some purpose in life.

Any place that names its restaurant Ratatouille immediately after a film of the same name strikes it big is respectfully shady in my book. I'll drink to that.

Segafredo Brickell
1421 S. Miami Ave.,
Brickell


That's right, folks, they call it happy hour simply because "happy people come." At least that's what I was told by the staff. Whatever. This place blows; it's like Vidal Sasoon and Starbucks had anal sex.
