It's easy to find a $20 cocktail in Miami. You can, for example, stroll down Ocean Drive and discover tons of fun-priced libations (no less palatable even at the size of your head). However, If you're not looking to go for a nice swim in your $60 margarita, the options become more limited. Still, there are actually plenty of places all around Miami that don't overcharge for their spiked beverages and a few that practically give them out for free — and we've rounded up 10 of them for your drinking (and wallet) pleasure.

Free Spirits

A random "sports cafe" at the Days Inn on 20 Street, Free Spirits is actually a decent-sized dive with pool tables, darts, a jukebox, and friendly staff that is nothing close to the typical SoBe scene. The bar has been known for having a variety of "down and dirty" drink specials too.

Lost Weekend

Purdy Lounge

Copy Link

Dubbed a lounge for its large space (there's a main room and a back room) and comfy couches, Purdy is called "dirty Purdy" by locals for a reason, but if you can get past that, then you'll be able to snag some pretty cheap drinks — at least for Miami Beach standards.
