Decisions. They’re made everyday by each and every one of us. Some are pretty easy to make, while others are difficult. Here at Clubplanet we’re primarily concerned with decisions that revolve around nightlife. What bar to go to? What club to get ready for? Where to take your significant other? That’s why we’re all about narrowing your decisions to only the best possible options, and happy hours are a difficult subject to make a decision on, considering that any place that serves liquor has one. Luckily for you, we’ve already done all the work for you on this one. Here’s our list of the best happy hour bars in Miami:
#10 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Houston’s
201 Miracle Mile
Miami, FL 33134
Known primarily for their stellar meals, and quite possibly one of the best steaks in Miami, Houston’s also has one of the best happy hour bars in the city as well. Their signature drinks are executed perfectly by their experienced bartenders, and the crowd that comes in for a drink is a bit more on the sophisticated side, primarily because of the area that it’s located in. If you’re looking to impress a lady, or guy, friend, we suggest taking them to happy hour here. It’ll save you a few dollars, and the atmosphere is exactly what you need to have a good time.
#9 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Gordon Biersch Brewer Restaurant
1201 Brickell Avenue
Miami, FL 33131
Gordon Biersch is definitely one of the best-looking brewery restaurants in all of Miami. It’s not like we have to many down here, but this one may take the cake as far as looks and happy hours go. They have an excellent selection of home brewed beers, some light, some dark, and others that’ll just put you on your ass if you don’t take care. Located in one of the busiest business areas in all of Miami, Brickell, their happy hour’s from 4p.m. to 6:30p.m. and brings out all the business suits to grab a cold one, which happen to be a $1 off. If you’re looking for something other than a beer, we suggest the triple Ms. Either a mojito, margarita or martini, which are all $5 during their happy hour, which puts it on our list of best happy hour bars in Miami.
#8 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
The Vagabond
30 NE 14th St.
Miami, FL 33132
I know what you’re thinking already, "But this is a nightclub!” We know it’s a nightclub, but they also have one of the best drink specials when it comes to their Fridays at The Vagabond party each week. While other bars and restaurants reign supreme with their happy hours during the week, The Vagabond offers up a special that’s unbeatable in every nightlife category, $1 Stella Artois from 10PM to midnight every single Friday night. If you don’t happen to know what Stella is, stop reading, go to your nearest supermarket, and get yourself a six-pack. Who cares if it’s 2p.m. on a Tuesday, just do it! Although, many may not consider it happy hour, per se, but let’s just say that The Vagabond gets a lot of attention from 10p.m. to midnight on Fridays.
#7 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Chili’s Grill and Bar
3015 Grand Avenue #310
Miami, FL 33130
Although this is a pretty family oriented restaurant, Chili’s has one of the best happy hours in the nation, and definitely in Miami. Here’s the special…two for one. But here’s the kicker…it’s all day everyday! That right, if you stop into Chili’s and order a beer, expect there to be a next one. If you order a frozen margarita, try not to get a brain freeze on the first, because there’s another one on the way. The best part is that’s it’s at any time of the day, on any day of the week. It’s a true blessing for all of Miami’s hard workers. After a long day at the office, there’s nothing better than a drink, but in this case it’s two, which is why Chili’s makes our list by having one of the best happy hour bars in Miami.
#6 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami

But dress up for this place, cause you’ll feel out of place if you dress down.
#5 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Irish Times
5850 Sunset Drive
Miami, FL 33143
Sometimes, instead of opting to go to a chic bar, or a fancy lounge, you just feel the need to go to a good ol’ fashioned Irish pub. In Miami, it doesn’t get any more authentic than Irish Times. Relatively new in the area, Irish Times is already quickly becoming one of the best bars in Coconut Grove. This is probably because they have one of the best happy hours in Miami. Featuring half off of drinks and selected liquors, from 3p.m. to 7p.m. everyday, the bar overflows with an after-work crowd that’s looking to relax and throw back a few. Since being in an Irish pub can sometimes lead to a hell of a drunken time, you can balance yourself out by trying one of their pub meals, which go perfectly with a lager.
#4 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Titanic Brewing Co.
5813 Ponce de Leon Blvd.
Miami, FL 33146
This is without a doubt the best bar in Coral Gables. Offering some of the best home brewed beer in South Florida, Titanic definitely makes our list of best happy hour bars in Miami. From 3p.m. to 7p.m. everyday, you can get a $1 off of their home brews. Now we know that it may not seem like that much, but when you take into consideration the quality of beer that you’re getting it’s a hell of a deal. We suggest you guys try the ‘Sampler,’ it let’s you get a small cup of each of their home brews. That way you’ll know which you want to focus on after the tray. But be warned, you’ll get quite the buzz after it.
#3 Best Happy Hour Bars in Miami
Finnegan’s On the River
401 SW 3rd Ave
Miami, FL 33130
This restaurant/bar has one of the best views in all of Miami. Located right on the river
in Downtown Miami, Finnegan’s prides itself in its happy hour, which stretches from Monday to Friday, 3p.m. to 7p.m. The best part is, that any one of their drinks is half off! A lot of the downtown business folk like to frequent this place, so expect there to be a crowd that’s letting loose after being cooped up in an office for hours on end. The bar outside, right next to the pool…yes, you read right…is the hotspot here. Watch the game, mingle with singles, and grab a drink at one of the best happy hour bars in Miami.
#2 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Zeke’s Roadhouse
625 Lincoln Rd
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Zeke’s is one of the most popular bars in South Beach, and all of Miami as well. Why is it ranked so high up on our list? Because it’s happy hour at this place everyday that they’re open, no matter what time it is! Prices here never change, meaning it’s $4 for any beer in the house, and the selection here is probably one of the best you’ll get in the city, and South Florida at that. Here’s the weird part, though. It’s closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so you’ll have to get your early week fix somewhere else then.
#1 Best Happy Hour Bar in Miami
Monty’s Raw Bar
2550 South Bayshore Drive
Miami, FL 33133
This one wins hands down when it comes to popularity. Every time happy hour hits at Monty’s you can be sure that a hell of a crowd will be there for every single minute of it, and more, putting it on our list of best happy hours in Miami. From 6p.m. to 8p.m. their drinks are all half off. Here’s a little advice from us, get one of the PK3’s, the best tasting strong drink you’ll ever have. Two or three of these and you’re set, and only for $6 each! All we know is that there’s pineapple, cherries, and an ass load of liquor in them. Friday’s happy hour is best, and brings out some of the best looking ladies, which makes this a great place for singles. This is without a doubt the best happy hour bar in Miami.
