About:
1115 16th St, Miami Beach, FL 33139-2441 305-538-8110

Description: SOUTH BEACH. While a good portion of the SoBe nightscene is as much spectacle as it is substance, this 16th Street watering hole makes no bones about its intent. This is 100% bar ­ the type of place where you can enjoy a tall, cold pint of ale, friendly conversation, and perhaps some classic Stones or Dead playing in the background. Microbrews and hard-to-find European imports are available, but the Abbey's own house brews can give any of them a run for their money. Cigar smokers will find safe haven here, as well.

Casual wear is recommended, but people show up in all manner of attire, from cutoffs to cocktail dresses. Another claim to fame at Mac's is the cheapest beer in South Beach, served to you with no frills in a basic plastic cup.

ROSE BAR

Lounge music sets the groove as international beauties and Hollywood types sip Cosmopolitans and mingle. If hunger rears its head, a fashionable sushi bar sits next door.

Live music is a rarity in South Beach, but this popular outpost has earned a reputation for putting on great jazz shows, with styles ranging from classic to acid. If you aren't enjoying the experimental performances downstairs, you can always head upstairs to the tiny loft, where DJs spin dance and house. Impromptu celebrity performances are a tradition at this unpretentious, laid-back lounge. Be sure to the Brazilian jazz show the last Thursday of every month.

There's plenty of live music in the evenings; the cover varies according to the artist. Tasty Latin cuisine is served inside and outside, and there's a small dance floor.

OPIUM GARDEN

About:
136 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 305-531-5535

Description: SOUTH BEACH. Regarded by many locals as South Beach's hottest dance club, Opium Garden gives trend-setters the chance to party inside or out. First, however, you'll have to posture a bit to get past the club's discriminating velvet rope, which remains fairly taut during Miami's peak season. It's then that a who's-who of starlets, music industry moguls and pro athletes (entourage in tow) gain access with a nod to the doorman and an accompanying swagger. Chinese lanterns and a Buddha statue showcase the club's Asian bent, and sensuous sound, lighting and fog set a dreamlike scene for beautiful people intent on partying till dawn.
