Miami's Best Happy Hour 2008

The charming tables set throughout the garden makes for a great place to enjoy a few drinks, talk and listen to music.

Reviews:

• “AWESOME”
• “Good music, great drinks, trendy, excellent local bar”
• “Best Bar In Miami”
• “Excellent time”
• “Found my watering hole…”

Bougainvillea’s Old Florida Tavern

Fresh catches, prepared with precision, draw a casual crowd at the quieter end of the otherwise ritzy Miracle Mile.

Reviews:

• “2 for 1 Happy Hour”
• “prompt seating”
• “GOOD FOR HAPPY HOURS.”
• “Great Seafood in the Gables”

Tips: If you want a potent beverage that is unique to the Gables’ location, try the Miracle Mile Mojito. It gives the leafy rum drink a new spin with a raspberry kick.

OLA

Visual flair and fusion fare distinguish this upscale beer hall from smaller microbreweries.
