While there is an excessive amount of outdoor excitement to be had in Miami, the draw of Miami’s trendiest bars, restaurants and nightclubs-especially in South Beach-can be impossible to resist. Miami’s nightlife is well-known, and the nightclubs there are often compared to the clubs of New York City-exciting, full of energy, and open all night! This is particularly true in South Beach, the home of some of Miami’s trendiest clubs.
See below for a taste of the Miami nightlife. Just remember that the drinking age is 21, so few clubs will admit people under 21. Take along a photo ID as well as cash for the cover charge, although a lot of places admit women for free. Oh-and don’t even think about arriving before 11 p.m.-these joints don’t start jumping until then!
