best happy hour in miami
the spots where the deals are as good as the drinks.
Miami's best happy hour anchored by a James Beard Award-winning bar. The cocktails are discounted but you'd never know it from the quality. The smoke and sand is the signature. Go between 4pm and 7pm and you'll wonder why you ever paid full price anywhere.
must order: smoke and sand
happy hour daily 4pm to 7pm
A South Miami institution doing happy hour the way happy hour was meant to be done. Cheap drinks, no pretension, and a crowd that's been coming since before you were thinking about Miami. The kind of bar that doesn't need to try because it already figured it out.
must order: whatever's on special
happy hour daily 3pm to 7pm
A Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse running a happy hour that shouldn't exist at this price point. The bar bites are exceptional and the wine pours are more generous than they need to be. One of the better happy hour values in a city where the word barely applies.
must order: bar bites and wine
happy hour tue through fri 5pm to 6:30pm
Thomas Keller's French bistro in Brickell runs a happy hour that makes the room accessible on a Tuesday. Half-price on select wines and the frites are the move. A proper bistro experience at a price that makes sense for a weeknight.

Spanish wine and pintxos at a price point that makes the Brickell happy hour crowd feel like they've found something. The vermouth on draft is the opening move. Reliable, consistent, and the kind of place that sustains a good Tuesday.

happy hour daily 3pm to 6pm
