Nightclubs in Miami

From House to Techno, Trance to Reggae, Rock and Hip-Hop, Miami covers the spectrum when it comes to bumping nightclubs and the variety of music and ambience offered to the eager night-goers. Even indie hipsters will find something of interest in this ever-expanding nighttime playground, with more venues everyday and a turnover rate faster than you can say 'Vamos'. With a population of nearly five and a half million, and with nearly seventy percent of that population of Latino decent, it's hard to imagine this place falling short of night club venues without the rhythmic Latin beat to keep the crowds coming. Consider the fusion of cultures that have come together to give this city it's name, and you'll start to have an idea of feel of the night life in Miami. Try little Havana's flash to an old Cuban past, known as 'Hoy Como Ayer', an intimate bar and club with live music every weekend and a standard repertoire of salsa and meringue music. Then there's the dance and hip-hop scene, which cannot be adequately assessed without actually experiencing it. So many popular musicians have come to make Miami their new stomping ground that it's not uncommon to see a familiar face in one of Miami's numerous nightclubs, especially on Miami Beach. Among the more exclusive clubs, complete with faux gold furniture and the legs that steal the show, there is Wall Club at the W hotel on Collins Ave. In fact, some of the most happening night clubs are not along the main strip, rather, are the projects of the numerous high-end hotels that occupy prime real estate along the ocean. Something a bit more laid back and you'll find that spots like Transit lounge and White Room in Downtown Miami are a continuous favorite among the slightly cleaner Miami hipster crowd. With chill vibes, live music and a great assortment of DJs, you're sure to find your zone in the outdoor garden or on the dance floor at one of these Miami standards. Without a ride you might find yourself a bit lost in Miami, so make sure you've got the wheels and the designated driver to make the most out of this city that can often fall victim to urban sprawl distances. Down in South Miami, you've got an array of other options that continue to play the Michael and Janet tunes that keep you grooving till the wee hours. Try Bougainvillea's Old Florida Tavern for something between a old southern cottage and an exclusive house party. Whatever the mood, and no matter the music, Miami knows how to do nightclubs like few other cities. Dancing isn't all together mandatory, but down here, you'll feel the rhythm like few other cities in the world.
