4 late-night dives in Miami, editor-picked by TableJourney. All Miami nightlife.
Mac's Club Deuce ★ 4.6
South Beach · 222 14th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Mac's Club Deuce on 14th Street is Miami Beach's oldest bar, opened in 1926 and registered post-Prohibition in 1933, the South Beach dive where Anthony Bourdain held court and the cash register still rings 21 hours a day.
Tip: Cash only. Happy hour 08:00 to 17:00 runs two-for-one drinks; the pool table and jukebox keep going until 05:00.
Lost Weekend ★ 4.3
South Beach · 218 Espanola Way, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Lost Weekend on Española Way is the South Beach dive-and-sports-bar hybrid since 1996, the kind of room with pool tables, vintage arcade cabinets, strong drinks and no pretense whatsoever.
Tip: Open until 04:00 every night with happy hour 16:00 to 20:00. Pool table free until 21:00 weekdays; the back arcade keeps quarters going.
Abbey Brewing Company ★ 4.4
South Beach · 1115 16th Street, Miami Beach, FL 33139
Abbey Brewing on 16th Street is the longest-running craft brewpub in Miami Beach, an unpretentious dive of a room with the brewery's own Trappist-influenced beers on draught and a regular South Beach service-industry crowd.
Tip: Cash and card both work; the back patio is small and the indoor bar is dark but air-conditioned. Service-industry discount before 20:00.
Sweet Caroline Karaoke Bar ★ 4.0
Brickell · 1111 SW 1st Avenue, Suite 107, Miami, FL 33130
Sweet Caroline on SW 1st Avenue in Brickell is the late-night karaoke bar with private rooms and a main-stage open mic that runs until 04:00 most nights, a service-industry favorite after the kitchens close.
Tip: Happy hour 18:00 to 20:00 daily. Private karaoke rooms book ahead via Toast; the main floor takes walk-ins on a queue.
