Over the last few months I have been collecting intel on places where our staff likes to party and things they like to do. I figured who would know better than the crew who comes into work Saturday AM wearing the same outfit they were wearing on Friday...the club people... So with out further ado, here is the scoop for Miami from the staffs of Sunset and Dadeland....
Our staffs area of choice to party is in the dilapidated Downtown Miami area where the buildings are decaying and crack heads roam free and the clubs come and go. We really don't go near South Beach unless its for the few hidden gems we mention below.
Monday is the only day of rest.
Tuesdays are for Buck 15 on the Beach. Unless you know where to go you'd never find it....its a small upstairs spot hidden away behind a heavy steel door in a stinky alley off Lincoln Road. Keen One is the resident DJ, he spins a great blend of old-school Hip-Hop and lots of other funky stuff.
PS14 is one of our regular hangouts on any given night, but we mostly link up there on Wednesdays for the YO! BBQ party hosted by the IAMYOURVILLIAN fam where resident DJ Stravinsky (Third Key at Sunset) spins some funky MIA flavor amongst the ladies chugging down free drinks till midnight. They have a different theme every week, yesterday was ladies arm-wrestling for a bottle of bubbly. Other themes include the Cupcake Battle (I was runner-up last time), Midnight Rummage Sale, Bike Race from UNIV and other stuff.
Friday is a toss up! It depends what's going on but Jazid on South Beach is always a good spot for live music and really good drinks. Its a tiny little spot next to famed Miami Ink Tattoo studio.
The go to Saturday party is POPLIFE at the White Room, which is around the corner from PS14. Its been going on for years and always changes venues...but its the best underground night in town. Drinks are decent prices, the music is always fresh and the live shows are great too.
Sunday is not a day rest in the 305! Its reserved for Purdy Lounge, this place is off the regular South Beach strip...parking is free and theres NO DRESS CODE! Everyone gets a "Happy Meal"
(Miller High Life & Jager for $3) and plays pool to the sweet sounds of Induce, Keen One & Contra. They always have the best guest DJs liek Andy Smith from Portishead.
I couldve made this list crazy long but I would be here all night.
We party hard in the 305!
