Like with dating and karaoke songs, sometimes you want options, which is what The Anderson is great for. Between the disco ball, animal print, and ’80s cigarette ads, this place feels like you’re traveling back in time to a Miami from 30 years ago, minus the perms and aerobics videos. There’s also a brightly colored tiki-shack patio outside with palm trees and rum-based cocktails.
Esotico is a shiny tiki bar and restaurant near Downtown. The drinks are strong and they serve a surprisingly good octopus hot dog.
Head to Palmar on NW 29th St. with a small group for some of the best Chinese food in the city, in a space that looks like a large green box.
Mama Tried is a bar in Downtown that's somewhere between a dive bar, a cocktail bar, and a small dance club.
Head to Pubbelly Noodle Bar in Bayshore for creative dishes like mofongo ramen during their two daily Happy Hours.
