Story Nightclub

Where did the Heat team celebrate their 2013 championship — and rack up a $100K tab, no less? Meet Story.

Swarm Warehouse

At Swarm, which pops up every few months, there are no special invitations, dress-code requirements, overpriced cover fees, or strict rules to abide by.

The Talent Farm Studios

Nestled in a shopping center in the far reaches of Pembroke Pines. Sure, it’s so far west it’s practically in the swamp, but it’s the hub of a very thriving microscene of mostly young bands whose names often form complete sentences. The place will give almost anyone a first shot at playing live, but at […]

Tanner Studios/Lumonics

To call Lumonics an art gallery is to do this one-of-a-kind place something of a disservice. Yes, there is plenty of art on hand, mainly in the form of “light sculptures” — industrial plastic pieces that range from small to monumental, all illuminated either from within or from outside sources. Some of these date back […]

Tim Finnegan’s Irish Pub

Located just south of Linton Blvd on Federal Highway in Delray Beach, Florida, Tim Finnegan’s is truly the Irish cultural center for the region. “In Ireland, the traditional public house is traditionally very much the cultural and social center of the town.

Treasure Trove

A beachside hideaway for the local drinkers is found within Fort Lauderdale’s Treasure Trove. Nautical trimmings and beer knickknacks are scattered along the walls where locals sharing stories occupy the high top tables and barstools. The jukebox fills the room with rock ‘n’ roll favorites, and the ocean breeze blows through the open-air dive. The […]

Tricky Dick’s Pub

Tricky Dick’s is a casual, blue-collar spot by day, and a lively gathering of 20-somethings by night — especially on Mondays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., when women drink free. Located off 441 in west Boca Raton, this low-key watering hole boasts the regular bar swag: beer signs and lots of sports on the […]

The Vagabond

The outskirts of Miami’s Overtown hood are becoming a gentrified version of the Sunset Strip in LA. This club’s DJ plays Bad Brains, as skate videos are projected onto a large outdoor movie screen. Any questions? Famous UK DJ John Digweed is one of the owners, we voted it the Best New Bar in 2008, […]

The Village Pump

Upscale but located in the beach hub of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the dimly lit Village Pump serves a casual crowd that doesn’t want to skimp on its booze or food.
