The 24 Best Happy Hour Deals in Miami
Get a buzz without breaking the bank.
You know what would be awesome? Rent Happy Hour, where if you stay in your apartment from June-September landlords knock half off your rent and throw in some $1 oysters. Since that’s not happening anywhere in this universe, you’ll have to cut costs elsewhere, like your nightly nights out and responsible cocktail hours that go until 10 pm. Plenty of Miami’s best bars and restaurants are happy to oblige, where even Michelin-rated spots are offering up drinks for as little as a dollar, and food with prices almost as low.

Multiple Locations
When: Tuesday - Sunday, 5:30 – 8 pm
Feeling sushi but not feeling sushi prices? You could go on SeekingArrangement and find a Sugar Parent.

The Garage’s line of specialty cocktails is a scant $5, beers are $3, and wine is $4.50
