Not sure if it’s a tiki night or a retro night with the ladies? The Anderson can accommodate both. If tiki drinks are what’s on the mind head to the outdoor tiki bar that channels Tom Cruise circa his Cocktail years. Craving air conditioning and retro vibes? Head inside to its 80s era bar complete with funky wallpaper, throwback cocktails and live music on the weekends.

While Wynwood has plenty of GNO options, one of the best is Beaker & Gray. Its happy hour is the way to go with a snack menu that could easily be a light dinner — or at least enough to soak up the happy hour priced $7 cocktails — with bites including mini grilled cheese with chorizo.

At Bagatelle there are plenty of different options for a ladies night out. On Wednesday expect so much salsa that heads will spin during its Havana Nights party. There is even an hour of free salsa classes for those who aren’t brushed up on the latest moves. Plus, Wednesday is also BYOB night with no corkage fee. And its Sunday brunch is legendary for a reason, with the space shifting from restaurant to club in the blink of an eye — making it perfect for the group is looking for a full blown club experience while hanging out and dining breakfast cuisine.

On Friday night at Area 31 expect to see a who’s who of the Brickell scene, with its happy hour specials running until 9 p.m. making it an ideal place to start the evening since its well located between Downtown Miami and Brickell. But no matter if the plan is cocktails by the pool or dining on the chef’s tasting menu at Area 31 start with one and end with the other. The order doesn’t matter.

Consider this the spot to end a ladies night. Better Days’ is Brickell’s popular late night watering hole that features a DJ on deck, a pool table, free popcorn, and inexpensive cocktails made by some of the most talented bartenders in the city. And with a daily last call of 5 a.m., any night can be a ladies night out.

Lively music, strong cocktails, and eye candy worthy bartenders are the most important factors in a ladies night out. And while Finka’s owner and chef Eileen Andrade swears she doesn’t hold casting calls for the attractive bartenders, according to her they all just “appear.” So much so that there was once a Finka calendar highlighting all the good lookers. And while that’s sadly no longer, rumor has it there’s a petition to bring it back.
