Kill Your Idol :
Every week Wednesday, 11:00pm
|
We at New Times don't usually endorse ladies' nights -- the concept usually screams watered-down fruit martinis and purse-clutching group dances to Beyonce -- but it's worth heading over to Kill Your Idol for the bar's weekly Wednesday human jukeboxes, especially if your chromosomes are of the...

Because of its constantly rotating selection of microbrews (the most mainstream beers available are Pabst, Yuengling, and Guinness), this is a good place to try some unfamiliar brands. Although they do allow you to sample the beers by the shot or the cup, there's nothing like a full pint to...

Duffy's is the latest level in the ever-escalating sports-bar arms race. This location is one of the newest of the chain's 22 bases that run up the coast from Fort Lauderdale to Melbourne. The patio, next to the front door, is filled with so many plasmas that after a time, it must seem like...

With locations already in the two music capitals of Memphis and Nashville and in the two tourist-trap capitals of Orlando and Las Vegas, B.B. King's opened a fifth location last December in West Palm Beach. (There is also an independently owned franchise in New York City's Times Square.) This...

Bars and clubs come and go in Miami Beach, and then theres Macs Club Deuce. Opened in 1926 as a restaurant and nightclub, it remains an oasis of permanence, affordability, and realism in an overpriced tourist trap that often feels like a mirage. On a Friday or Saturday night, if...

Tucked into the corner of the grounds of the Hyatt Regency Pier 66 abutting the Intracoastal and the 17th Street Bridge, Grille 66 caters to a sophisticated crowd. The long bar, and the tall, round tables in front of it, provide plenty of room to grab a place to mingle and/or watch the game on...

101 Ocean :
Daily, 5:00pm-7:00pm
|
|
If they ever decide to add another number to the Ocean's (Eleven) Trilogy, 101 Ocean would make an ideal filming location. But not only because of the name. First off, it seems like the perfect place for George Clooney and Brad Pitt to plan a heist. Relaxing and more business-casual than...

As Arnold Schwarzenegger, AKA Mr. Freeze, says in Batman & Robin, the definitive database of cold-weather-related puns, "Tonight's forecast: A freeze is coming." Tonight being Thursday, that forecast refers specifically to Ice Bar at Hotel Victor, where at 8 p.m., it's time for Frost Bite...

Mad Men is one of the latter. This AMC program (way too awesome to be called a simple "show") has inspired a resurgence of '60s fashion and culture. Hopefully, it's also made a few corporations rethink their policies on in-office smoking and drinking. Of course, the crazy kids of Mad Men work...

Monday seems like the most logical day to stay home and avoid going to work hung over the next day. But what kind of Miamian would stay home on a weeknight? Then again, if a low-key affair is something you are looking for, check out the Duchess, the Monday-night soiree at the Mondrian. Here an...

Caliente Kitchen :
Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 4:00pm-7:00pm
|
|
Caliente is probably the best place to sample the wide world of tequila outside of certain areas of Mexico or Disney's Epcot Center. It's also a good place to get a good taco (in a red tortilla) at all hours of the day or night -- the taco window is open until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday!...

They say Miami is a melting pot of cultures, but then those same people say Miami has no culture. Who are they anyway? Obviously, they've never been to the Biltmore, which has an embarrassment of history and culture under one lofty roof. For starters, the Biltmore is a melting pot itself. Once...

The Jib goes for a decidedly nautical theme, a theme that is then filtered through Jimmy Buffett's margarita. From the dock-like seating area (pylons and all) by the entrance and the tiki hut with the oceanview mural to the wall of tropical fish tanks and ceiling strewn with nautical flags, the...

Kahuna Awa Kava Bar :
Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, 4:00pm-7:00pm
|
|
The Kahuna gives off an upscale vibe from the outside that belies the casual, relaxed mood inside. It does the Polynesian décor in a simple and effective way. Though it might just be all the hookahs everywhere, there also seems to be a bit of Middle Eastern styling to the place....

Every town has at least one Irish pub. It's part of the global Irish-industrial complex. O'Shea's is the West Palm Beach outpost for wayward Irishmen and women and locals looking for an authentic Irish experience -- or at least something different from the usual Clematis Street vibe.

Starlite Lounge, voted New Times' 2010 Best Hole in the Wall, is tucked away in a nondescript shopping plaza off Federal Highway. This gives it a speakeasy feel from the outside. But the inside couldn't be homier. All the patrons look like regulars. This seems due to its location, which is next...

This self-styled gastropub does its French bistro décor (2010 "Best of" recipient for the latter, 2009 "Best of" for the former) so well you may forget that it's just a theme. This isn't France. But that's the candle-lit ambiance you get between the tin ceiling tiles, the clean checkered...
