There are always a few things on everyone’s nightlife checklist when looking for a good venue to spend your night. First and foremost, or at least nowadays, they think prices. Are there good deals at the bar? Then there’s the ratio factor if you’re single. More guys than girls? But, a lot of time it’s the aesthetics of the club. Whether it’s the décor inside or out, how well kept the bathrooms are, or how friendly the staff is, Aesthetics are truly important in the development of any nightclub, and one aspect that can definitely add to the success of a club is a solid view. In Miami we’re blessed to have some great rooftop bars, terraces and lounges located high above all other buildings. We’ve compiled a list of Miami’s top nightlife views, and you should definitely try and visit each one of these.
