Switch-Hitter

Switch Bar Opens

Lately you’ve been keeping it real classy. Frequenting underground speakeasies. Wearing a bra.

Perhaps it’s time to Switch things up. Coconut Grove’s newest bar, Switch, is old school (literally, like college).

Trade artisanal cocktails for Pabst on tap. And don’t count on ’97 Chablis. Instead, take solace in sake cocktails and infusions made with pineapple, kiwi, and watermelon. (A full liquor license is expected in January).

A twist on bar fare, the menu offers Spanish and Italian tapas like bruschetta, stuffed peppers, and Serrano and melon, along with traditional burgers and wraps. Get the chef’s specialty, paella, prepared tableside for groups of ten or more.

Expect Hurricanes games on six plasmas, DJs, local bands, and random make-out sessions.

’Cause some things never change.

Switch, 3008 Grand Avenue, Coconut Grove (305-441-1313).
