Your Weekly Miami.Myopenbar.com Listings‏

Wynwood Art Walk
Saturday, May 9th
Bombay Sapphire cocktails, lots of artsy booze, no covers / 7pm-10pm

It's the second Saturday of the month, which means there's more reason to make your way out to Wynwood for a chance to take part in the opening receptions of this month's exhibitions. Interesting art along with artsy booze makes for a pretty good night. Check this link out for some possible helpfull details.





My suggestion is still to start out here with a few Bombay Sapphire concoctions and grab an art walk map. All of the galleries on the official map, as well as the others in Wynwood, will provide you with artsy booze to drink and plenty of good art to look at. Hit them up and then head back here for one last drink and some mingling before you're off to the after-party.


Galleries Include: David Castillo Gallery, Spinello Gallery, Gallery Diet, Federic Snitzer Gallery, Harold Golen Gallery, Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Damien B Contemporary Art Center, & O.H.W.O.W.

At Boogies you tend to see ladies traveling in packs taking down free booze. If you're a guy it's like an alcohol safari, only without the tour guide. There's also music and meter maids watching you walk away so they can write you a parking ticket before you have a chance to grab some change.
