EL RANCHO GRANDE 1626 Pennsylvania Avenue // 305.673.0480

BURGERS + BEER 1766 Bay Road // 305.672.3287
THE NAME SAYS IT ALL. Every pricey burger comes with a signature side of South Beach attitude that keeps the bar and restaurant packed well past dessert. Speaking of, try the deep-fried Twinkie or the “O- Face” milkshake.

(Dinner + Drinks continued...)
THE IN-CROWD.MYNT 1921 Collins Avenue
TIGHT DOOR POLICY. LOOSE CROWD. Unless you’re with past-guests Paris Hilton and Jamie Foxx, show up early – lest risk missing out on the high-energy house and hip-hop.
SET 320 Lincoln Road
LUXURIOUS, LOUD AND EXCLUSIVE. Once you get in, anything goes. If you can make it to the VIP room (the one Britney Spears made famous), do it. No questions asked.
MOKAI 235 23rd Street
HARD TO PRONOUNCE, EVEN HARDER TO GET IN. Big egos contrast the small dance floors but it’s worth learning how to say it (pronounced Moe-k-eye) to brag that you partied here.
MANSION 1235 Washington Avenue
BIG VENUE. BIG NAMES. BOOTY-SHAKING BEATS. People Mag’s “Miami’s Hottest Club” and host to events like Diddy’s MTV VMA bash. Bring your patience and your plastic.

AUTOMATIC SLIMS 1216 Washington Avenue
NO COVER. NO DRESS CODE. NO ATTITUDE. Reasonably priced drinks and good music. A favorite of locals fed-up with the typical club scene. Look for the “Big Boy” statue at the door.
ROKBAR 1905 Collins Avenue
THE QUINTESSENTIAL BAD-ASS, BAD-BOY CLUB. Owned by Tommy Lee, Rokbar is a high-energy, low- on- frills, rock-out-with-your - @#ck-out bar. Look for drunk chicks screaming, “This. Is. My. Favorite. Song!” at the open of every power ballad.
B.E.D 929 Washington Avenue
COOL LOOK. COOL CROWD. WORTH LOSING SLEEP OVER. The beds stay when this restaurant turns into a club. Bonus: When your significant other calls, you can say you’re in B.E.D. and mean it.
NOT-SO HETERO.SCORE 727 Lincoln Road
NON-STOP PARTY. SHIRTS OPTIONAL. The seemingly low-key entrance can be deceiving. Because it’s nothing but debauchery inside. Keep your mind open or your eyes closed!
TWIST 1057 Washington Avenue
7 BARS IN 1 VENUE. EACH MORE FABULOUS THAN THE NEXT. Its motto is its mantra - Never a Cover. Always a Groove. Great music, friendly staff and consistently packed with hot tourists and locals alike.
MOVA 1625 Michigan Avenue
THE ALTERNATIVE TO THE ALTERNATIVE CLUB -SCENE. Formerly Halo Lounge, Mova is more laid back than loud and proud. Smoke-free and conversation-friendly.
1514
GIRLS > BOYS. 5 girls? You’re in! 5 guys... you’re in… line all night. If your group is weighed down by Y-chromosomes, pick up someladies on the way.
DRESS TO IMPRESS. Guys, put on dress shoes. And girls, less is more.
BE PATIENT. Unless you have a reality show we don’t know about, don’t expect to walk right in.
SHOW UP EARLY. Fashionably late = unfashionably long lines.
ASK OUR CLUB CONCIERGE. Check the front desk for insider info.

Whitelaw Hotel, South Beach’s hip, chic boutique hotel, offers guests the ultimate vacation experience at an affordable price. Perfectly situated on Collins Avenue and 8th Street, the hotel is located just steps from the beach, shops, restaurants and nighttime hotspots that this vibrant city is known for. The Whitelaw combines Art Deco embellishments with whimsical design to transport its guests into a world unique from any other Miami Beach accommodation. An inviting patio, complete with café tables and large crisp white canvas umbrellas, sets the welcome scene.
This space is a favorite of guests and locals alike, and offers what is arguably the best people watching in Miami. The lobby shakes things up with its magenta and custom graffi ti artist accents, while the rebellious Victorian furniture and over scale black crystal chandeliers lead the way to the intimately decorated guest rooms, complete with playfully large white bed frames and white lacquer chandeliers. Each of the 49 guest rooms boasts luxurious Belgian sheets, 42-inch plasma televisions, iPod docking stations and marble bathrooms. The distinctive décor leaves guests with a sense of romance, while appealing to their eccentric side.

During World War II, the United States Army Air Corps used South Beach as a major training base. The government paid
hotel owners one dollar per room, per night to turn their resort hotels into barracks, and the wide beach and local golf
courses became exercise and drill grounds.
