Best for LATE NIGHT food. You will see a lot of drunks here on a Friday or Saturday night around 1 AM.
They have a super perro hot dog with potato strings and a fried egg and all kinds of sauces on it.
Prices are cheap - you can eat for less than $10/person

I think this is a nice romantic restaurant to take a date. Beautiful views of the ocean and fancy dishes that are instagrammable. It's also nice for birthdays, but it is a bit pricey - expect to spend at least $30 per person.

1155 Brickell Bay DrI think this is a nice romantic restaurant to take a date. Beautiful views of the ocean and fancy dishes that are instagrammable. It's also nice for birthdays, but it is a bit pricey - expect to spend at least $30 per person.
This is one of my favorite restaurants so I almost didn't want to share it here. It's an outdoor patio area with an ecclectic mix of used furniture. They have an indoor part where you can regularly catch live jazz, as well as a cashier food area and two bars that only serve beer and wine.
It gets crazy packed around 8/9 PM, so get there early - ESPECIALLY on the weekends.
The churrasco is delicious.
This place is best in groups since it's self-seating and there are usually lots of big tables. However, it would still be a cute date night to grab a few glasses of wine and listen to live jazz.

Drinks & Nightlife
Hipster little bar in Brickell that is close to many other bars. They have free popcorn, a pool table, and a giant jenga set.
It's a nice place in a group to pre-game at with a good selection of beers and drinks that aren't ridiculously expensive.

Ladies night on Tuesdays (FREE well DRINKS FOR LADIES!)
It gets pretty crowded on the weekends, but it can be fun in a group. One of the few places not in South Beach you can dance all night at. Drinks can get pricey - around $12 for a cocktail, or you can get a cheap domestic beer for around $7.
The crowd has gotten more ratchet every year, but it's a fun place if you're buzzed.
They have a pool table and DJ, as well as an outdoor patio (which has a contemporary barn feel to it) and two bars (inside/outside).
Check out La Moon down the block for late night Colombian food - like hot dogs with papitas and a fried egg on it :)

Nice restaurant that sits on the Miami River - you can watch boats pass by as well as dock your boat and eat.
This is a busy spot for sports games and brunch. It used to be a more "poppin' " place to go at night, but has recently died down a bit.
For families - I would only go during lunch or dinner - not brunch or late at night (10 PM on).
Groups - good place to converse or have brunch together while still feeling like you're around a lot of people
Couples - nice during the day for lunch
Free unlimited mimosas with purchase of entree on Saturday mornings until 3 PM. $25 unlimited mimosas on Sundays.
Most entrees average around $15. Cocktails are around $12 and beers around $7.

Arts & Culture
I love this theater that was built in the 1920s! It has a very old, glamorous 20s looking feel to it. The theater is beautifully painted, with a fake peacock perched up high on stage, fake star lights on the ceiling, etc.
I recommend seeing a show here if you can. You can also see slam story shows on every second Tuesday of the month - however, you must buy tickets when they go on sale the week before. It gets crowded so get there early for a seat.

If you like street art, this is a must! You can walk around the walls and take the bombest pictures. The walls get painted by local artists every year around Art Basel in December. It's free to walk around.
I recommend going on a cool day, or if you don't have a choice, then in the late afternoon when it isn't as hot. It gets extremely crowded during Art Walk - which is the second Saturday of each month. I don't recommend going during this time unless you love big crowds and no parking.
Not sure if it's open at night, however, there are a lot of restaurants and bars you can walk to at night.
