Welcome to Miami

Located in South Florida, Miami is the ideal party scene. With its spectacular beaches, crazy nightclubs, huge Hispanic culture and its large celebrity population, this city is the perfect holiday destination. Just turned 21? Then Miami is DEFINITELY the place to be!

Usually the first thing people think of when they say Miami is the legendary South Beach, Miami’s most popular tourist attraction. During the day tourists fill up the restaurants and bars on the sidewalk, with music blaring in the background and women and men dressed in their best beach attire.

At night, the party prevails. South Beach’s most famous club, LIV, has been named one of the best night clubs in the world! Located at the hotel Fountainbleu, this prestigious, one of a kind, high-energy night club is not to be missed. LIV attracts many celebrities including rappers such as Lil Wayne and Flo Rida, who can frequently be seen on Sundays, while world star DJs Avicii and Nero have made several performances there. With money literally falling from the ceiling, and spectacular lights, smoke machines and more, LIV definitely lives up to its reputation. You will not be disappointed.

It’s good to mention that if you are female, South Beach nightlife can be a cheap, drunkenly, fun-filled night out. Unfortunately for the guys, it could turn out to be a very expensive. As clubs are so prestigious and often driven by desire to lure plenty of women in, South Beach clubs tend to charge extortionate prices for men, especially if they don’t bring along women. Prices can range from $30 (if you’re lucky) to about $150 (if the bouncers really don’t like you).To avoid such extreme prices, be sure to get to the club before 11pm, bring a bunch of girls, or promoters usually give some good price deals (many including an open bar).

If South Beach doesn't sound like your scene and you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere, then downtown Miami is for you. Brickell is located at the heart of downtown, known for its large skyscrapers, wide variety of bars and restaurants and famously P Diddy’s club Fifty, located at the top of the Viceroy Hotel. Brickell is very diverse with an Irish bar, lots of cocktail bars and a few dance clubs. Although it is not as expensive as South Beach, drinks can still be pricey at the bars, especially at club Fifty. As with South Beach clubs, Brickell bars also have a strict age limit of 21.

Lastly, if you’re looking for a younger and wilder crowd, then Coconut Grove is the place to be. Usually referred to as just the Grove, this is most popular area for the University of Miami students, especially on Thursday nights. The Grove is home to the infamous Fat Tuesdays bar, known for its large frozen alcoholic beverages such as strawberry daiquiris as well as Mr. Moes bar which appeals to the many College basketball players. Although Coconut Grove is relatively small and very student based, celebrities have managed to make appearances. Last year Enrique Iglesias was spotted at Mr. Frogs bar partying away.

And what’s more, if you’re not 21 then the Grove has bars such as Mr. Frogs and The Goose which allow those 18 or older to enter. Word of advice, because the Grove is situated less than a mile away from a very bad neighbourhood, tourists are advised to stay close to the bars and not wander off from the area. There are lots of police and taxis around the Grove so help is always there if you are lost.

Overall Miami’s club scene is diverse, cultural and most importantly lots of fun! Don’t just think South Beach is the only clubbing spot, once you explore Miami you’ll soon learn that there is so much more to it than what you see on TV.
