Before you go

• Timing: most Miami happy hours run from about 4pm to 7pm on weekdays, and the best deals end when the after-work crowd arrives.
• Where to sit: happy hour pricing is usually bar-only, so take a counter seat rather than a table.
• Deals change: menus and prices shift often, so treat any deal as a starting point and check with the bar.
• Value: Brickell and Wynwood give the most for your money, while South Beach happy hour pricing can still read as full price.
