Let me be honest - juggling a real estate team and two kids in tons of extracurricular activities leaves little time (or energy) for Miami's famed nightlife. Cue: Coral Gables.
"The City Beautiful" boasts a vibrant happy hour scene that caters to every taste and budget. Another perk: you can be in bed by 9PM or keep the night going at one of the several rooftops.
Why Coral Gables for Happy Hour?
Coral Gables offers a unique blend of sophistication and laid-back charm. Its pedestrian-friendly streets, stunning architecture, and diverse culinary landscape make it an ideal destination for a leisurely happy hour. Plus, you can often find fantastic deals on both food and drinks, making it a perfect spot for an after-work unwind, a relaxed date night, or catching up with friends.
