Miami lives for the nightlife. With its myriad of clubs dotting the main strips of Miami Beach, it's easy to get lost in the glitzy, thumping, dancefloors — from Ocean Drive and beyond. DJs reign supreme here but it's the alcohol that fuels the sticky, designer-clad bodies well into the early hours of the morning. Whether you're looking to pre-game with your group or skip the EDM and settle in for a drink instead, Miami knows how to quench your cocktail thirst.
