Buck 15
Located in a loft above Miss Yip, B15 manages to blend everything we like about going out - kinda edgy but not scary graffiti chic, cast-off action figures, consistently awesome DJs (Did they just mix 'Your Love' by the Outfield into 'Low' by Flo-Rida? Oh yes they did), free entry, a good mix of the hip and the hot and the drunk and the folks who just don't care but definitely wave their hands in the air - into one shot of nightlife fun.

Jazid
While the downstairs caters to folks seeking a mellow, candlelit spot to hear live jazz, soul and funk bands, the upstairs lounge has DJs spinning soul, funk and hip-hop to a cool, multiculti crowd.

La Covacha
Drive out about halfway to the Everglades (just kidding, but only just) and you'll find Covacha, the most hidden, most hip Latin scene in Miami. Actually, it's not hidden; all the young Latinos know about Covacha and love it well, and we do too. It's an excellent spot to see new bands, upcoming DJs (almost all local), an enormous crowd and pretty much no tourists. It throw one of the best parties in the city.

Tobacco Road
A venerable local hangout hosting jazz, blues and rock bands, this place has been packing 'em in since 1912. There's a throwback roadhouse feel to the place and it's often the scene of impromptu jams by well-known rockers when they're in town. Film buffs may recognise it as the place where Kurt Russell has a drink in The Mean Season (1985).
