Wanna Be a Baller?
Ball & Chain isn’t just a bar. It’s a Miami landmark pulsing with history, music, and energy. A fusion of cocktails, cuisine, and community, this Calle Ocho hot spot keeps the city moving with a nonstop lineup of live entertainment—from Bachata Tuesdays and Salsero Sundays to the electrifying new Solara Sundays. By night, the tropical garden transforms into an open-air playground where jazz, salsa, and DJs set the rhythm. With Cuban coffee flowing, craft cocktails shaking, and even monthly Pineapple Pilates sessions, Ball & Chain delivers an experience as bold and dynamic as Miami itself.
Sip & Sup
Good times are uncorked daily at Happy Wine, the neighborhood wine bar created by JC Restrepo and Joanna Fajardo in 2008. With more than 1,000 bottles imported from Spain, France, Italy, and the United States, you can pick one to enjoy at home or quaff it right there for a modest corkage fee. In addition to the vast wine selection, Happy Wine’s Spanish-influenced tapas are outstanding, spanning charcuterie, Pata Negra, and croquetas. Don’t miss the divine garlic shrimp.
Mezcal Magic
Ready to raise your spirits? Bistro Ocho has launched a Mezcal School, an intimate monthly series offering a guided journey through Mexico’s most iconic elixir. Held every third Wednesday, these classes aren’t just about sipping—they’re about schooling your palate. From Espadín to Manojo Mezcal, just 12 guests will explore the world of agave through neat pours and clever cocktail pairings. To keep things mez-merizing, each session at the terrazzo-clad, half-moon bar features specially crafted antojitos designed to fuel your agave adventure. Think of it as higher education, with homework you’ll actually look forward to.
