Working a block away from Titanic is truly a blessing because sometimes, you just need a cold one after work and this is definitely the place to go.
A charming Gables mainstay, this dim, sea-themed bar opened up in the early nineties and has been serving up classic rock music, spicy Southern cuisine, and best of all, home-brewed beers. What’s better than that?
As for beer, ask for the Triple Screw or the frothy Woodchuck Cider—both a sure bet but don’t forget the munchies! The empanadas are delicious and so is their famous andouille bisque. Note to the wise: the spice in that soup will have you craving more beer!
In the mood for something more filling? Try the po boy sandwiches… full of crabmeat and totally satisfying. And if you’re coming for dinner, try the shrimp étoufée—full of shrimp and full of flavor. Top it off with key lime pie or a chocolate stout… any which way you go is bound to delight.
Most of all, sit back, chug a cold one or two and enjoy the ambience. There’s always a band at night and the college students trickle in by the minute. Park in the meters or across the street—the parking isn’t too much of a hassle. Overall, Titanic is a great place to throw back a few beers, listen to music and unwind with the locals.

Hands down, Sunset Tavern is the place to go for Happy Hour. Neighborhood bars are supposed to be friendly and this place is true to that. Sunset Tavern has friendly people, friendly staff and definitely, friendly prices. You can get drinks for $3!
Take a seat at the bar or sit outside--the people watching is amazing. Full of regulars, this place caters to all. From people in their 70’s to freshman in college, everyone is just relaxing and having a good time. Throw a buck into the jukebox and hear your favorite tune or just wait for the live bands at night.
What’s not to love…great beer selections, strong pours and free appetizers inside until 7pm during happy hour. You can snack on garlic chicken, shrimp and oysters—just make sure you snag one the moment they bring it, they go quickly.
Don’t be fooled… it’s not just the happy hour that’s good here. Their sister locale, Deli Lane (right next door), serves up some great breakfast and lunch. This place is packed on Sundays with families and their dogs all enjoying Miami’s sun outside. Have one of the omelets—they’re to die for. And for lunch, my God don't missed the pressed duck sandwich!
Parking can be a bit tough at times. If you get there for happy hour around 4:30, you can valet park for free. Otherwise, you have to go meter searching a bit. On Sundays, it can be even tougher but it’s worth it.
Don’t miss out… come for breakfast, lunch or both… If you come for Happy Hour on a Friday, make sure to say hello… I’m one of the regulars!
