Miami does happy hour seriously. You can drink on Biscayne Bay, eat $4 tacos behind a speakeasy door, or order anything on a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant's bar menu for $7.77. We picked 13 happy hours across the city and copied the specials straight from each venue's current menu, so the prices below are what you'll actually pay.
How we pick: each spot has to offer a real discount (not just a "bar menu"), be worth going to even at full price, and publish its specials somewhere we can check. We re-verify this list every quarter. If something has changed, let us know.
Brickell's happy hours are built for the after-work crowd. Most start at 3 or 4pm and are done by 7, and three of these are within a few minutes' walk of each other.
Social Hour: Mon–Fri 4–7pmLate: Sun–Wed 10pm–close
A sports bar on the Miami River that's nicer than it needs to be. Grab a seat on the riverside patio and watch the boats go by. It's one of the few Brickell spots with a second, late-night happy hour, which makes it an easy Sunday-to-Wednesday nightcap.

Wynwood & Midtown
Wynwood's happy hours skew casual and cheap. These three are all along North Miami Avenue and NE 1st Avenue, so you can easily walk between them.
Wynwood's sneaker-themed sports bar, with rare kicks on display, a Miami Vice-style patio and 70+ TVs. The happy hour is one of the best values in the neighborhood: $7 cocktails and bar bites starting at $5. Bring a Florida ID and the deals run an extra hour.
A craft beer bar in Midtown with a simple deal: money off every drink and a short list of bar bites under $9. Go for the spicy salmon crispy rice and the short rib slider, and sit at the bar, because that's where the happy hour pricing applies.
Drinks
$2 off craft beer
$3 off wine and craft cocktails
$4 off spirits (Grey Goose, Patrón, Bacardi, Maker's Mark, Tanqueray)
A retro Midtown cocktail lounge with a vintage Miami look, DJs later in the week, and some of the cheapest drinks on this list. The house project is a list of 100 classic cocktails at $10 each: ask a bartender to start you a card and they'll keep count as you work through it.
Chef Michael Schwartz's Latin American restaurant sits right on Biscayne Bay, and the happy hour lets you have the view without paying dinner prices. It runs every day, including weekends, which is rare for a place this nice. Order the clarified piña colada and the smoked fish dip, and get there before sunset.

A Michelin Bib Gourmand Vietnamese-Cajun spot in the MiMo district. The Golden Hour is as simple as it gets: every item is $7.77. Two orders of dumplings, a bao and a glass of vinho verde makes a cheap, very good early dinner. It runs Wednesday to Sunday, so it's one of the few on this list you can hit on a Saturday.

Dumplings: chicken lemongrass, shrimp & pork, or veggie
Baos: char siu pork, or spinach & mushroom
House wine (vinho verde, rosé or Malbec), junmai ginjo sake, or beer

The best oyster happy hour in Miami, and four hours long, every day. East Coast oysters are $1.85 apiece, and the cocktail list goes far beyond the usual happy hour three. Pair a dozen with the Oyster Martini, then add a $6 mini martini (only available with an order of 6+ oysters).

The view is the reason to go. Rusty Pelican has been on the water since 1972, and it has the best straight-on look at the downtown skyline in the city. The happy hour menu is cheaper than you'd expect for the setting: $2 oysters and small plates from $6. Get there early for a window seat and stay through sunset. Coming from the mainland, you'll pay a toll on the causeway.
Food
$2 oysters ("Shuck Yeah!")
$6 beef slider with house bacon marmalade and blue cheese on a pretzel bun
The best happy hour south of downtown. Earls, the Canadian chain, puts most of its cocktail list at half price, and the food menu goes well past bar snacks. Petite steak frites and crispy birria tacos are happy-hour-only plates at $16, and the late-night session runs every day of the week.
