I'll be coming to Miami for the spring game. I'll be arriving this thursday, and staying through monday. I'll be staying off ocean drive. So I have a few questions on what places to go to. I'm 26, and I want to have a great time!

#1 . What's the best spot on ocean drive to party?

#2 . Who has the best pool parties?

#3 . What is club Liv all about?

#4 . Best Cuban restraunt?

#5 . What is Seminole hard rock casino? I most likely will be there Thursday.

#6 . Who has the best margaritas? (Not really a beer drinker)

#7 . I love going to sports bars. Any recommendations?

If anybody has anything, or any tips. Thanks

#1 . What's the best spot on ocean drive to party?

Really depends on the night because there is so much going on. You can just walk around the strip on Ocean Drive and find a bunch of people drinking and having a good time. Bar that you choose to drink at is really your choice. Bodega or The Clevelander are good options though.

#2 . Who has the best pool parties?

You would have to check who's having a pool party but the Fountainbleau (Same hotel where LIV is), FDR, and all other hotels usually will have a day function where there is a DJ and drinks being served. Your best bet is to look online and see what's going on.

#3 . What is club Liv all about?

Be ready to throw down some cash. If you have a group of friends its best to split a table amongst each other to get the best experience. TBH all the night clubs at the beach are a **** of a time so you might want to check out what deal is going on that night. If you really want to go hard LIV is perfect but if you're looking for a club atmosphere but not as crazy "Basement Miami" is a good option.

#4 . Best Cuban restraunt?

Havana Harry's or the typical La Carreta which is the staple cuban restaurant in Miami (cheapest too).

#5 . What is Seminole hard rock casino? I most likely will be there Thursday.

The Hard Rock is some ways away from the beach about a 45 minute to 60 minute drive. Still the Hard Rock is mainly for gambling but if you're there during the day you can chill out by the pool and they have an outside outlet place where you can go shopping. I recommend eating at the Hard Rock Restaurant though its alway's good.

#6 . Who has the best margaritas? (Not really a beer drinker)

Any place on ocean drive serves ****tails/fruit drinks. Fat Tuesday's is always a solid option any day of the week.

#7 . I love going to sports bars. Any recommendations?

Sports Grill on 10005 SW 72nd Street and they also have one next to Sunset Place on Sunset Drive, the one on Sunset Drive might be a little closer and it has more of a modern vibe. Personally the one on 10005 SW 72nd Street has the best food. Order the Special Grilled Wings.

**** yes to the special grilled wings from Sports Bar on SW 72nd St. Those things are crack. Used to live behind there when I was still down at the U. Scully's is also pretty solid from what I remember.

While you're in that area, hit up the Bakery on SW 72nd St & SW 102nd Ave too.
 
Best Cuban Food is at Versailles. The Avocado salad is great, followed by grilled chicken breast and onions with maduro. Parking is murder though.

Or you can hit Lario's on the beach.

Hit up the Brickell area if you're looking to get away from the south beach tourist spots. I enjoy checking out places in the Brickell, Wynwood, CB area when I go back.
 
Yes to fat Tuesdays, go to coconut Grove and Coral gables. Also ft Lauderdale has a beach area with bars and you walk down the Rd . believe Jimmy buffety hotel and bar is there
 
I live in Palm Beach, but where is ladies night usually on the weekends if anyone knows? Thanks I appreciate any feedback

If your in the Pinecrest area stop by Hole in the wall. Its has great food, is a UM bar, and is partially owned by I think Craig Erickson. The Special Griller wings and mahi sandwich /tacos are my favorite, but you can't go wrong either way.
 
#1 . What's the best spot on ocean drive to party? Nowhere, once you've done your initial walk through to see the sites avoid ocean drive.

#2 . Who has the best pool parties? Hyde Beach @ SLS hotel

#3 . What is club Liv all about? Spending lots of $$$, if you're not buying bottles, don't bother.

#4 . Best Cuban restraunt? Versailles or La Carreta are classics

#5 . What is Seminole hard rock casino? I most likely will be there Thursday. Gambling, also some nightclubs and restaurants.

#6 . Who has the best margaritas? (Not really a beer drinker) Try Monty's for casual waterfront or Edition Hotel for something fancier

#7 . I love going to sports bars. Any recommendations? On Miami Beach - Foxhole or Finnengan's

will you have a car? ocean drive is an hour from hard rock and 45 minutes from good cuban food. and are you going to be dropping some coin and/or bringing hot women with you? bc if not, south beach may be a slap of reality for you.

Hard rock has a good Cuban restaurant, it's an all white building and went to eat with ex there. I forget the name though. Also a good seafood place by bass pro shop in ft Lauderdale
