http://www.automatic-slims.com At the Seminole Hard Rock outpost of this raucous party establishment it's likely a beautiful vixen in a miniskirt will pour liquor down your throat from an upside down bottle as soon as you walk in the door.

Live cover bands and DJs of popular music perform Tuesdays through Saturdays, and the bar opens at 5p.m. happy hour and closes at 4.am. breakfast. The popular industry night ensures that many Hard Rock employees come here to party after they got off work. More >>

http://www.bedmiami.com This self-explanatory supper/dance club oozes silky seduction with a dreamy decor featuring king-size beds garnished with snow-white drapes. Nightly house music and hip-hop affairs attract a jet-set crowd. This is one hard place to get a seat: Beds take up waaay more room than tables. And then there's B.E.D.'s reservation system. There are exactly two seatings per night, one 8 to 8:30 p.m., the other 10:30 to 11 p.m. But once one is seated (or gets laid, whatever), then comes the surprise: a standout crabcake appetizer and terrific crayfish tapenade. Main courses include roasted rack of Australian lamb, which features a full-bodied mustard-tarragon sauce, and pan-seared Chilean sea bass sauced with a rich but light herbed vermouth cream. Desserts like the "Go Deep" cappuccino crème brûlée are more outrageous than original and the only food items that seemed to pander to B.E.D.'s gimmick aspect. More >>

http://www.churchillspub.com Miami is sorely lacking in decent rock clubs, so Churchill's is home to many a scruffy punker who is too real for South Beach. A pair of pool tables, a large room for bands, and a sizable outdoor patio help house the mainland rock faithful. More >>

http://www.dorakusushi.com Friday happy hour at this casually stylish spot (a seafood spinoff of the old-school Benihana Japanese steak-house chain) has long been legendary among savvy sushi fans seeking a bargain. From 5 to 8 p.m., the price of a nine-buck specialty cocktail gets you two drinks and unlimited trips to a small but tasty buffet of sushi and Pan-Asian snacks. Don't pass up the regular menu, though; prices are no lower than those at any SoBe sushi bar, but dishes are generally more creative. Especially recommended is the carpaccio (salmon, hamachi, or ahi) in beautifully balanced sauces; crispy rock shrimp and oriental basil leaves; and a spicy, crispy salmon roll. There's also a large selection of vegetarian items and an extensive list of boutique sakes. More >>

http://www.escopazzo.com Since opening on Washington Avenue in 1993, the restaurant's calling card has been creative Northern Italian cuisine. That hasn't changed, but nowadays, the restaurants' fruits, vegetables, and dairy products are organic, beef is grass-fed and hormone-antibiotic free, and a few raw food selections have been added to the menu. Healthier, yes, but those seeking classic Italian fare will still find comfort in a starter of grilled, goat-cheese-stuffed eggplant rolls atop a gentle sauté of baby calamari, sweet cherry tomatoes, and mint. Or in a hearty main course of rosemary tagliatelle with Bolognese sauce. Escopazzo's kitchen's at mixing and matching big flavors is evident in a signature starter of silky asparagus flan floated in a creamy fondue of fontiana and smoked provola cheeses, capped with crispy shiitake mushrooms and misted with a whiff of white truffle oil. Escopazzo is expensive. The trio of meat entrées, for instance, cost $45 to $58. There is no questioning the quality: Barbera wine-braised beef short rib, pan-seared veal chop, and espresso-dusted, Kurobuta pork tenderloin are naturally raised. Tiramisu might just be South Beach's best, meltingly tender and lifted by assertive coffee undertones. More >>
