Where to find the best happy hour in Miami: a comprehensive guide

  • April 16, 2024

Most bars and restaurants in Miami offer some sort of discounted offering during happy hour— and if they don’t, they should. Because the rent is too damn high, and we all deserve a break where we can get it. If you’re here, you’re seeking out the best bang for your buck, and we know exactly where to find it. At these top Miami happy hour spots, you’ll find flowing drinks, yes. But there’s also an array of tasty bar victuals to be sampled from some of the finest restaurants in town. Dollar oysters and panoramic views, half-priced martinis and caviar-topped snacks, frozen libations and live music—get it all, and at prices that’ll make that monthly Brickell rent just a little easier to part with.

When oysters are less than a buck, it’s your duty to order them by the dozen. Sweet Liberty affords you that luxury, with East Coast oysters for $.95. Splurge for bivalves from the West Coast for $1.95, and wash it all down with $10 cocktails (some of the best in town), $8 wine and $6 beer. There are numerous other specials, including bubbles and a shot of the day to get your night started strong.

For an oyster happy hour where the oyster is truly the star, grab a seat at the bar area or lounge and order up a dozen (or two) of the chef’s selection for $1.75 each. Other deals include La Rubia draft beer for $5 a pint, $8 wine, $8 well cocktails and basic martinis, $11 specialty wells and lots of yummy snacks, like deviled eggs with caviar for $12.

Daily 8am–5pm 

Mac’s iconic all-day, two-for-one happy hour makes every other happy hour look very short. Order up and the bartender will give you a poker chip along with your drink. Don’t lose it. When you’re ready for round two, hand it over to the bartender at Miami’s oldest bar and enjoy another cold one on the house.

Mon-Fri 4–8pm

The Corner is an infamous after-hours bar, but its happy hour crowd is often just as lively and eclectic. It also makes for a great spot to hit before a game at the arena or a show at the Arsht Center, both of which are within walking distance. The draw here are the $3 cans, from which there are dozens of craft varieties to choose. Well drinks go for half-off and there’s also a very tempting $3 Chicago dog on offer.

Walk into Little Havana’s Taquerias El Mexicano and you’ll feel like you’ve walked into a shop in Mexico City. The old-school restaurant got an extensive renovation from the Ball & Chain team, including a slightly more modern menu. But the happy hour prices ($3 Coronas, $4 margs and bites ranging from $3 to $5) are still delightfully retro.
