Switch, Coconut Grove’s newest pub, is old school — like college.

Who says Miami doesn’t have any neighborhood bars? W Wine Bistro is tucked away in the quieter part of the Design District, serving great food and wine. Stop in for Friday happy hours, no corkage fee Wednesdays, and bimonthly tastings.
Brave the crowds Monday-Friday, 4-8 p.m., when you’ll get half-off drinks; cheap beer; and a raw bar with oysters, crab, and shrimp — all for less than five bucks.
The drinks are strong and cheap, the crowd is buzzed, and the space doubles as an art gallery. Check out the paintings during the post-work happy hour or go late when things get dark and smoky.
The watering hole has plush seating, dim lighting, classic cocktails, and talent tickling the ivories. Go before 9 p.m. to soak up the happy hour.
The views from this wowzer 50th-floor lounge steal the spotlight — even from famed interior designer Kelly Wearstler’s fab decor. After work (a.k.a. sunset), drinks are a must.
An old-school Miami institution (since 1912!), where the bands are loud, the food is greasy, and regulars pack the stools. Great for a show, a beer, or both.
Owners chef Sean Brasel and David Tornek are formerly of celebrity-magnet Touch. Pricey steak and pretty people. Enjoy the scene inside — or peek at passersby on Lincoln Road.
You’ll think you tripped and landed in New York at the swank resto inside the Driade furniture showroom. Go for the incredibly vast Italian wine list, stay for the prosciutto and cheese plates — or the pizza.
