When you want to go out for drinks, few cities have bars that compare to Miami, Florida. In terms of both quantity and quality, this city is unlike any other when you’re in the mood to cut loose and have some fun.
There are so many bars, taverns, pubs, and nightclubs in Miami that it’s hard to pick which place you want to go to sometimes. As a Florida local who spends a lot of time in cities all over the state, I thought I might be able to help with that a bit.
I went ahead and put together a list ranking the best happy hour specials at all my favorite places to drink around the city. The next time you want to have a fun night out on the town just pull up this guide and see what I’ve got for you. You won’t be disappointed!

Taking the number one spot on my list of Miami happy hours to check out is a place called Mamey Miami. This restaurant serves Asian Fusion fare but also has a slamming happy hour that you can enjoy every single day from 3PM to 6PM.
The drink deals are great, you get a wide selection of $10 cocktails, $5 beers, $7 wines, and $7 spirits for 3 whole hours. The specials don’t end with drinks, though. You can also choose from a nice variety of $6 snacks like spiced fries, roasted plantains, grilled cheese, and a few more delicious options.

Next up is a charming Japanese restaurant called Uchi. This one is located right in the heart of the Wynwood neighborhood near the famous Wynwood Walls outdoor art exhibit in Miami, Florida.
The happy hour deals here include all sorts of nigiri, makimono, kori kaki, and even okashi. There is also a small section of the happy hour menu full of tastings which are absolutely incredible.
Don’t forget the drinks, either. Uchi’s happy hour specials include a couple of $4 beers, $6 sakes, $8 cocktails, and half off all sparkling wine as well as champagne. My favorite cocktail was the Uchi Gin & Tonic.

Happy hour at Jaguar sun is every day from 5PM to 7PM and it features a list of $10 classic cocktails that you’re going to love. My favorite is either the Manhattan or the daiquiri.
They do have a happy hour food special here as well. Jaguar Sun offers $1 oysters with an unbelievably tasty yuzu kosho mignonette for the perfect flavor addition to the oysters.
Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company

Sweet Liberty Drinks & Supply Company is one of my favorite happy hour spots in Miami for many reasons, one of which is they serve some amazing brunch on the weekends, but the main one is the atmosphere. Although, the drink deals are a close second.
Happy hour starts at 4PM and goes until 8PM every day. That’s plenty of time to put down a few cocktails and some oysters if you ask me. Cheap drink deals here include various $9 cocktails, $5 beers, $7 wines, and even $6 mini martinis.
Check out Sweet Liberty inside Boulan South Beach hotel, right in between the Miami Beach Convention Center and Collins Park.

If you come and visit Miami without making the drive over to Historic Virginia Key Beach Park or Hobie Island Beach Park, then you’re doing something wrong. If you do go and visit those places while you’re here, but you don’t stop at Rusty Pelican on the way, you’re doing something really wrong.
Rusty Pelican features one of the best happy hours Miami has to offer, hands down. The menu is huge and includes deals on beer, wine, wells, and even half off a long list of food items. Happy hour is Monday through Thursday, from 4PM to 6PM in their lounge area.

Monty’s Raw Bar is always my go-to spot when I’m in the mood for happy hour drinks and some live music. This place is like the ultimate tiki bar here in Miami and it’s located right on the water.

The specials here include $6 select cocktails, frozen drinks, and various wines; $5 well drinks and craft beers; $4 imports and $3 domestic drafts. What more could you ask for?
The Sylvester
3456 N Miami Ave, Miami, FL 33127
Phone: 305-364-5635
Visit Website
The Sylvester is one of my favorite places to get drinks near Miami, mainly due to the convenient location and quirky atmosphere, but also because of the quality of their mixology.
They call it Rush Hour here at The Sylvester and boy is it the time to stop by. The prices actually fluctuate by the hour here at The Sylvester, which is interesting, but for the most part, happy hour is from 5PM to 8PM with a “power hour” somewhere in there.
Come here between Wednesday and Sunday to take advantage of all their cheap drink deals and maybe even grab a bite to eat.
Bar Nancy

Next up, we’re heading to the Little Havana part of Miami to a place called Bar Nancy. They’re located right off of Southwest 8th Street, just west of the Calle Ocho Walk of Fame.
Bar Nancy has live music all the time, so if you need a place to go and get a drink while you jam out to some music, this is it. Happy hour is every day that they’re open, from 4PM to 7PM, plenty of time to tie one on.
I recommend the Donkey Punch made with Smirnoff, hibiscus, ginger beer, lime, and mint. It’s wonderfully refreshing.
