Miami Nightlife and Nightclubs

(Miami, Florida - FL, USA)

It is not just the beautiful beaches that draw people to Miami. At night, everyone comes out to play and the Miami nightlife is exceptional. South Beach is where it all happens, although the club world is a fickle one and the most popular night clubs seem to change on a regular basis.

The city's club scene and nightlife has something to suit everyone, from young people who want to dance all night to older couples who prefer to sit at a quiet table with a bottle of wine and relax. Nightlife in Miami is very diverse and offers something for everyone, including plenty of mainstream discos where you can dance all night long. You should always be polite when waiting to enter a nightclub, otherwise you may be refused entry.


Fridays and Saturdays are the busiest times for nightspots, although there is usually a good choice on any night and a number of local nightclubs boost their midweek crowds by offers discounts on drinks, free entrance for women and sideshows. Most venues in Miami open at 23:00 and peak between midnight and 02:00, with many continuing until the early hours of the morning, and some even provide a free breakfast buffet for all-night clubbers.

Nikki Beach is currently one of Miami's most popular club areas at the moment. During the daytime, Nikki Beach is an attractive beach spa with sunbeds and parasols. However, at nighttime, everyone moves inside to the nightclubs and begins to party, with DJs and a full-on club experience.
