The 24 Best Happy Hour Deals in Miami
Get a buzz without breaking the bank.
Miamians never realize how beat down we’ve gotten by drink prices until we go to some far-flung city like Tampa, order a couple beers, and are shocked when the bartender gives us change for a twenty. Because while Miami is one of America’s greatest drinking cities, a bargain it is not. That is, unless you track down a standout Happy Hour, where wallet-wrecking price tags are temporarily slashed and you can once again pick up a round without putting yourself (farther) into debt. Read on for some of the top happy hours in Miami, and ease your sticker shock-weary mind for at least one glorious afternoon.
Downtown
When: Tuesday - Friday, 3 - 5 pm
Cheap beer and even cheaper slices aren’t just for the 12-pack-fueled late night college crowd. Eleventh Street pizza dishes out high quality eats at half price four days a week, which taste even better with all your faculties intact.

Downtown
When: Daily, 3 - 7 pm
If you find yourself literally steaming as you walk down a hot downtown street around three in the afternoon, stop into this narrow boozer where $5 gets you a frozen drink guaranteed to bring your core temperature down. And if brain freezes aren’t on your afternoon agenda, you can grab a shot and a beer, well drink, or glass of wine for the same exact price.

Downtown
When: Monday - Friday, 4 - 7 pm
Lost Boy’s already alarmingly cheap prices take a serious nosedive during happy hour, when everything on the drink menu runs half off. Sticking around after the promo ends is still your best value play downtown, too, as single-liquor drinks rarely top $10 each.

If you’re not happy grabbing two-for-one drinks before most people have even attempted breakfast, well, the Deuce just may not be for you.

The only reservations required here are the ones you have about using the bathroom.

Michael Beltran is bringing college drink prices back to the Grove, pouring 99¢ gin and vodka martinis for an hour each day. Dangerous, you say? Remember—Chug’s is also a Cuban diner, which means plenty of rice, beans, and lechon to soak it up.
