Miami nightlife is split by water. On the mainland, Park West in Downtown is the only part of the City of Miami where clubs can hold 24-hour licences, so Club Space and E11EVEN run past sunrise, while Wynwood, Little Havana, Brickell and Allapattah add listening bars, salsa and hard techno. Across the causeways, Miami Beach serves until 05:00, with LIV, M2 and the cocktail bars of South Beach. Club doors open around 23:00 and the floors fill after 01:00. Expect $10–30 at the door of a good club and more for big names. Worth knowing: Metrorail stops at midnight, so plan a rideshare home, and carry photo ID, because club doors are 21+.

For the drinks before and after. Hours, prices and the best nights are on each page.
The licence decides how late the night goes. In the City of Miami the standard last call is 03:00, although some bars in Downtown and Brickell pour until 05:00. Park West is the one area with 24-hour licences, which is why Club Space and E11EVEN never have to stop. Miami Beach serves until 05:00, except in South of Fifth, where venues for more than 100 people stop at 02:00, a rule that closed Story in 2023.
You will cross a causeway at least once. The marathon clubs are on the mainland in Park West. The megaclubs, the Art Deco strip on Washington Avenue and the best-known cocktail bars are on Miami Beach. Metrorail does not go to the beach, so most people split the weekend: one night on each side, with a rideshare in between.
March is the peak. Miami Music Week fills the last week of March with hundreds of events across clubs, pools and pop-ups, and Ultra closes it at Bayfront Park; the 2027 edition runs from 26 to 28 March. Art Basel brings a second wave in December. Book beds and tickets early for both.
The Club Space Terrace runs into the next afternoon, Floyd and Do Not Sit On The Furniture work the smaller rooms, and Domicile in Allapattah goes hard at 150 BPM and up.
LIV opens Thursday to Sunday at the Fontainebleau, and E11EVEN never closes. Both want you dressed up, and both sell tables by the event.
Park West's 24-hour licence means sunrise is the middle of the night, not the end. The Corner pours until 07:00 on Friday and Saturday.
Sweet Liberty and Café La Trova have both been on The World's 50 Best Bars list, and Broken Shaker, Bar Kaiju and the hi-fi bars Dante's HiFi and Kaori fill in the rest of the map.
Ball & Chain has had live Latin music on Calle Ocho since 1935, with a different theme every night and dancing until 03:00 at the weekend.
Twist on Washington Avenue has two levels, three dancefloors, seven bars and never charges a cover.
Not for you if you are under 21 or want to get around by train. Most club doors are 21+, and Metrorail stops at midnight, so nearly every night ends in a car.
Happy hour. Sweet Liberty runs it until 20:00, Café La Trova until 19:00, and Twist pours two-for-one until 21:00.
Live music. The band starts at Café La Trova, Ball & Chain is under way on Calle Ocho, and Lagniappe follows at 21:00.
Club doors. Club Space, Floyd and LIV open; Do Not Sit and Domicile listings start at 22:00. The free Metromover stopped at 22:00.
Metrorail stops. From here it is a rideshare, a taxi or the all-night route 100 bus between Downtown and Miami Beach.
Standard last call in the City of Miami. In South of Fifth the big rooms stopped serving at 02:00.
Last call on Miami Beach, and LIV and Floyd close. In Park West the Club Space Terrace keeps going into daylight, and The Corner stays open until 07:00 at the weekend.
Doors at 23:00, and on big nights the sets run through sunrise into the afternoon. Halloween 2026 runs from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon.
Start with a cocktail and the band at Café La Trova, then walk five blocks west to Ball & Chain, where the music runs until 03:00 on Friday and Saturday.
The Corner, Club Space, Floyd and E11EVEN all sit around NE 11th Street. Meet at the bar, pick the room, and stay as late as you like.
LIV on Sunday has run long enough to have its own hall of fame. Heels, no shorts, physical ID only.
Bands from 21:00 at Las Rosas, then cross NW 7th Avenue to Domicile for hard techno until 05:00.
The last week of March: club nights, pool parties and boat parties all over town, ending with Ultra at Bayfront Park, which has been 18+ since 2015.
M2 and Twist on Washington Avenue, Do Not Sit On The Furniture near Lincoln Road and Sweet Liberty on 20th Street. LIV and Broken Shaker are a short ride north in Mid-Beach. Last call is 05:00, or 02:00 for big rooms south of 5th Street.
Club Space, Floyd, E11EVEN and The Corner around NE 11th Street, plus Jolene Sound Room in a basement on Flagler Street. The best clubs in Miami for staying out late are here.
Dante's HiFi plays vinyl on NW 26th Street, and Lagniappe has a band in its garden every night on the Midtown edge.
Kaori's hi-fi listening bar on South Miami Avenue, and Blackbird Ordinary, which runs DJs on an LED dancefloor until 05:00 every night.
Café La Trova for cantinero cocktails and live trova, then Ball & Chain for live Latin music and dancing.
Domicile and Las Rosas face each other on NW 7th Avenue in Allapattah, and Bar Kaiju sits above The Citadel food hall in Little River.
Florida's drinking age is 21, and most club doors follow it: LIV, E11EVEN, Floyd, Do Not Sit and Jolene are 21+, while some nights at The Ground under Club Space and at Domicile admit 18+. LIV wants a physical government photo ID, not a photo of one, so bring your passport. The dress code depends on the side of town. LIV turns away shorts, hats, sandals and sleeveless tops and wants heels for women; E11EVEN bans beachwear, caps and sports jerseys.
Do Not Sit On The Furniture usually charges $10–30, with $60 or more for big names. A June 2026 night at Domicile cost $15, and Halloween at Club Space started at $30. Twist never charges a cover, and Blackbird Ordinary is free on Fridays. LIV and E11EVEN price each night separately, tables included. Tipping is expected on every drink in the US, so add it to the cost of the night.
Metrorail runs from 05:00 to midnight and costs $2.25, paid by contactless card or phone at the gate. The free Metromover around Downtown and Brickell stops at 22:00. After midnight the Metrobus route 100 runs 24 hours between Downtown and Miami Beach along Washington Avenue, and route 3 runs all night on Biscayne Boulevard. Most people take a rideshare. A metered taxi starts at $2.95, so Park West to South Beach comes to about $20 before the tip.

A $30 ticket at Club Space, the bus or train there, and a taxi home.
A $60-plus headliner at Do Not Sit and taxis both ways, before drinks and tips. A table at LIV or E11EVEN is priced per event on top.
LIV refuses photos of ID, and most club doors are 21+. A passport is the safe choice for visitors.
A ticket for The Ground or Floyd does not get you onto the Club Space Terrace, and every Space event can end earlier or later than listed.
Metrorail stops at 00:00 and Metromover at 22:00. After that it is route 100, route 3 or a car.
South of Fifth, venues for more than 100 people stop serving at 02:00. North of it, Miami Beach pours until 05:00.
Sweet Liberty runs happy hour until 20:00, Café La Trova until 19:00, and Twist has two-for-one drinks until 21:00.
Tipping is expected in the US and bar staff depend on it. Count it into the price of the night.
From 1994 to 1997 the building at 1235 Washington Avenue was Glam Slam, one of Prince's clubs. It was later Mansion and reopened in 2023 as M2.
When South of Fifth moved last call from 05:00 to 02:00 in 2023, Story said about 88% of its alcohol sales came between 02:00 and 05:00. It closed and has not reopened.
The bar on Calle Ocho opened in 1935 and still books live Latin music every night, from Mambo Mondays to Salsero Sundays.
Founded in 2011, Miami Music Week acquired the Winter Music Conference and the IDMAs in 2018. In 2015 it counted more than 1,000 artists at over 260 events.
It depends on the side of the water. The City of Miami's standard last call is 03:00, but Park West has 24-hour licences, so Club Space and E11EVEN run past sunrise. Miami Beach serves until 05:00, except in South of Fifth, where large venues stop at 02:00.
Rarely. The drinking age in Florida is 21, and LIV, E11EVEN, Floyd and Do Not Sit are 21+. Some nights at The Ground under Club Space and at Domicile admit 18+, and Ultra is 18+.
Park West in Downtown for clubs open late, with Club Space, Floyd and E11EVEN on one block. South Beach for the megaclubs and cocktail bars, Little Havana for salsa, and Allapattah for hard techno.
Usually by rideshare or taxi. Metrorail stops at midnight, but the route 100 bus runs 24 hours between Downtown and Miami Beach for $2.25. A taxi from Park West to South Beach is about $20 on the meter.
Usually $10–30. Do Not Sit charges $10–30, Domicile $15 and Club Space from $30 on a big night. Twist is free, and LIV and E11EVEN price each night separately.
