Bardot

Sick of social media? Bardot has a parking-lot entrance, no sign, and a zero-photography policy. A long bar dominates one side of the single open space, while Moroccan-cool lounge furniture, a pool table, and a stage take up the other half. Topnotch local bands, musicians, and DJs play regularly, and late-night parties make this spot […]

Capone’s

Capone’s on Himmarshee Street in Fort Lauderdale embodies the sort of one-track-mind nightclub that either keeps you coming back for its consistency or sends you running for some place with at least a shred of personality. Things you can count on from Capone’s: DJs playing a stream of Top 40s and in-your-face dance hits and […]

Cowboy’s Saloon

Wednesdays and Fridays are ladies’ nights at Cowboy’s Saloon, a surprisingly expansive bar, restaurant, and line-dance hall housed in between a Bed Bath & Beyond and a Pet Supermarket in a Davie strip mall off of University Drive. Ladies and gents with a hankering for some boots-knockin’ will want to stop by on either of […]

Electric Pickle

If you want the city of Miami’s version of South Beach in the ’90s, you’ll find it here. This is the cutting edge of electronic music parties in a small room. The Pickle has regular bookings of internationally renowned DJs.

The Garret at Grand Central

The Garret is a secret hideaway club within downtown indie hot-spot Grand Central. It has its own side entrance (use 7th street), and a steep flight of stairs, so watch your footwork. The bar is dark, the drinks are cold, and the intimate room hosts artists and DJs well into the early morning.

Grand Central

This midsize live-performance venue has a killer light show and sound system. The open warehouse-like space in downtown Miami includes a stage, plenty of dance floor, a range of seating options, and an outdoor area. Management procures buzz-worthy underground indie acts from around the world.

LIV

Located in the luxe Fontainebleau, LIV is upscale and known for its glamorous oomph. The VIP section is separated with velvet ropes and tight security. Balloon ceiling fixtures and lights displaying an array of trippy colors animate the large main space. The lower level houses a dance floor, and the upper level boasts a bar […]

The Pawn Shop

The news that Miami’s famed Pawn Shop club was reopening on Clematis Street got the blood of jealous 305 folk boiling but planted pleasant party smiles on the faces of folks in West Palm Beach. Trying to re-create a club that was actually in a pawn shop with an indoor school bus, an Airstream trailer, […]

Story Nightclub

Where did the Heat team celebrate their 2013 championship — and rack up a $100K tab, no less? Meet Story. That parable should say it all about this 27,000 square foot South Beach dance club’s prestige factor. Story is all about getting impressive names on-stage, from Avicii to Luciano to Seth Troxler. And here, people […]

Treehouse

This high-end venue with a cool treehouse theme and indoor outdoor areas is one of the hippest new clubs on South Beach. The club boasts cutting-edge bookings of internationally renowned electronic dance music DJs and live performers. But there are also more mainstream nights to keep pop-hungry tourists happy as well. The mix of locals, […]

Vibe Las Olas

Brought to us by the same people who gave us YOLO and O Lounge, Vibe offers much of the same swank you’ve come to expect from that little plaza off Las Olas. Sculptural reliefs of curvy bodies create texture on the walls (look out for nipple-esque light fixtures above!) and reflect colors that rotate green, […]
