1. Mac's Club Deuce
South Beach's oldest bar, open since 1926 and running from 8am to 5am every day, which tells you most of what you need to know. Pool table, neon, a jukebox and a famously mixed crowd of locals, chefs finishing shifts and tourists who wandered in. Cash is easiest. Budget-friendly. Open daily, 8am to 5am.
✅ Best for: the classic Miami dive · 📍 222 14th St, South Beach · 💵 Cash only
2. Seven Seas
A nautical-themed Coral Gables hangout with a pool table, cheap pours and regulars who have been coming for decades. Nothing has been updated for effect, which is the appeal, and it stays open late for the neighbourhood. Budget-friendly. Open daily, opening as early as noon and closing as late as 3am.
✅ Best for: karaoke and cheap beer · 📍 2200 SW 57th Ave, Westchester · 💵 Cash only
3. Eddie's Place
A Tamiami neighbourhood bar where the prices are low, the TVs are on and nobody is performing. Pool, darts and a regular crowd, worth knowing if you are out west and want a proper local rather than a concept. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 2pm and closing as late as 5am.
✅ Best for: a very late, cheap drink · 📍 12606 SW 8th St, Tamiami
4. Kill Your Idol
A South Beach bar built around a life-size Bruce Lee statue, with DJs, cheap beer-and-shot deals and a punk-leaning soundtrack. Attached to Gigi's, so late-night food is next door, and it fills after midnight. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 8pm and closing as late as 4am on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: punk-spirited late nights · 📍 222 Española Wy, South Beach
5. Ted's Hideaway
A South of Fifth institution that has resisted the neighbourhood's makeover: happy hour specials, several TVs, a pool table and regulars who know each other. Open late and one of the few genuinely cheap rounds left in South Beach. Moderately priced. Open daily, noon to 5am.
✅ Best for: cheap drinks near the beach · 📍 124 2nd St, South Beach
6. Lost Weekend
A no-frills South Beach watering hole with billiards, arcade games, sports on the screens and theme nights through the week. Late licence, strong pours and a crowd that skews local for a bar this close to Lincoln Road. Budget-friendly. Open daily, opening as early as noon and closing as late as 5am on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: games and cheap drinks · 📍 218 Española Wy, South Beach
7. On the Rocks
A dim North Beach bar serving American plates alongside the drinks, with a long bar and a neighbourhood crowd. Useful in an area with few late options, and the kitchen runs later than most. Moderately priced. Open daily, 8am to 5am.
✅ Best for: a late local hang · 📍 217 71st St, North Beach
8. Bob's Your Uncle
A small North Beach bar with a British streak, board games and a pub feel rather than a Miami one. Quiet enough for conversation early, busier and louder as the night goes on. Moderately priced. Open daily, 3pm to 3am.
✅ Best for: a friendly neighborhood bar · 📍 928 71st St, North Beach
9. Billy's Pub Too
A North Miami dive with a patio, known for ribs and pub food as much as the drinks, with sports on the TVs and a loyal local crowd. Good for an afternoon that runs long. Budget-friendly. Open daily, opening as early as 11am and closing as late as 6am on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: pool and darts · 📍 732 NE 125th St, North Miami
10. Mama Tried
A downtown bar decorated in deep 1970s style, with a pool table, strong cocktails and a crowd that spans office workers early and night owls later. More polished than a true dive, but priced and paced like one. Budget-friendly. Open daily, opening as early as 4pm and closing as late as 5am.
✅ Best for: a dive with a dance floor · 📍 207 NE 1st St, Downtown
11. Churchill's Pub
Little Haiti's legendary live music room, booking local bands since 1979, with a British pub front, a back yard and a stage that has launched a good share of Miami's music scene. Cheap drinks, loud rooms and no pretence. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 11:30am and closing as late as 5am on Friday and Saturday.
✅ Best for: live rock and punk · 📍 5501 NE 2nd Ave, Little Haiti
12. Las Rosas
An Allapattah bar with a pool table, pinball, a big patio and a programme of local DJs and bands. Roomy enough for a group, unpretentious enough to stay all night, and a fixture of the neighbourhood's nightlife. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 5pm and closing as late as 5am on Thursday to Saturday.
✅ Best for: live bands and cheap drinks · 📍 2898 NW 7th Ave, Allapattah
13. Duffy's Tavern
A cash-only Westchester haunt going back decades, with sports on every screen, stiff pours and regulars who treat it as a second living room. Bring notes, because the card machine is not the point. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 10am and closing as late as 1am on Tuesday to Sunday.
✅ Best for: burgers and a game · 📍 2108 SW 57th Ave, Westchester
14. Fox's Lounge
A South Miami institution open since 1946, all dark wood, red booths and low light, serving American plates late alongside the drinks. Closed for a spell and reopened with the look intact, which locals were relieved about. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 4pm and closing as late as 2am on Tuesday to Saturday.
✅ Best for: a classic lounge feel · 📍 6030 S Dixie Hwy, South Miami
15. The Wetlab
The University of Miami's waterfront bar on Virginia Key, open to everyone, with cheap beer, bay views and a deck that catches the breeze. Marine science students at one table, boaters at the next. Budget-friendly. Open Wednesday to Friday, opening as early as 4:30pm and closing as late as 10:15pm on Friday.
✅ Best for: a sunset beer by the water · 📍 4600 Rickenbacker Causeway, Virginia Key
16. The Bar
A Coral Gables mainstay serving burgers and wings with board games, karaoke and DJ nights, popular with students and locals in equal measure. Busy at weekends, easy on a weeknight. Budget-friendly. Open daily, 3pm to 3am.
✅ Best for: a neighborhood dive · 📍 172 Giralda Ave, Coral Gables
17. The Bend
A relaxed Hialeah hangout with craft beer, cocktails, trivia and DJ nights in a space that feels more neighbourhood living room than bar. One of the few places in the area programming events every week. Moderately priced. Open daily, opening as early as 5pm and closing as late as 3am.
✅ Best for: nostalgia and cheap drinks · 📍 6844 NW 169th St, Hialeah
