Who Has The Best Happy Hour In South Beach?

[ShannonSoBe]

Like around 4pm-8pm ish or so in that time frame... who has good drink prices and a laid back, happy to be out of work, chill yet fun/lively atomosphere? Would love to hear your expert opinions

[Christy]

There are tons of specials on Ocean Dr. and Lincoln Rd. But, I'd head over to Monty's for the best atmosphere.

[ShannonSoBe]

Thanks Christy. I've gone for walks at sunset by Monty's and it seemed pretty alive

[Jess]

I'm reviving this thread and making it a sticky. Updates? Still recommend Monty's and the Clevelander?

I just received info on a new Happy Hour at Haven Lounge (1237 Lincoln Road):

"Haven is Always Happy" every night of the week between 6pm and 8pm featuring specially priced beers at $5 and select craft cocktails at $7, as well as reduced-priced sliders and sushi at $5, created daily by critically acclaimed executive chef Todd Erickson.

Imagine this is a completely different scene than Monty's and The Clevelander. Anyone been?

I've been here a little under a year and my fave HH place is Finnegans Too on Lincoln Rd. All drinks are half price (including top shelf liquor)). 4-7, M-F. They also have some good chicken wings and fries.

My co-workers and I go there on Fridays when we have a chance. We sit outside, order lots of drinks, and people watch. I find it relaxing.

Thanks for the tip, Toledo! I used to hang out at Finnegans Too back in the day.

[Sorry]

I don't want to sound out of line, but maybe someone can keep a running sticky of current happy hours on Sobe, with updates periodically.

This kind of info is like gold for me cause I def need to stop by for a drink after work. Once I'm actually a Sobe person I'd be happy to update it regularly.

I don't want to sound out of line, but maybe someone can keep a running sticky of current happy hours on Sobe, with updates periodically.

In the Miami New Times calendar section, they list all the happy hours for Miami/Dade and Broward. You can reduce the search to just South Beach if you want. I think it's mostly up to date, but you can always call the bar/restaurant to verify.

[Sorry]

well thats helpful, but with the miami 411 the best part was their take on the place

[Laurie]

Thank you for the suggestion, Sorry. We'll see what we can do!

[Maria de los Angeles]

I think that's a great idea for Miami Beach 411.

After a while, you'll probably find some watering holes you'll gravitate too and know their happy hour schedules and specials memorized.

Our friends at Soul of Miami have a list too: http://www.soulofmiami.org/ongoing-happy-hours/

Thanks Maria. We also always recommend checking with the venue first. They tend to change so fast, it is hard to keep up.

South Florida Food and Wine Blog has a pretty extensive list http://southfloridafoodandwineblog.b...periences.html
