Mac's Club Deuce
Tony and Chris Garver go to happy hour at one of the last dive bars in South Beach. This bar is perfect for late afternoons or late nights. Mac's was also the first place Tony ever went to the first time he was in Miami.

Tony Also Recommends: The Room
"A civilized alternative to Mac's Club Deuce, The Room offers hand-crafted beers and a great selection of wines. Their crowd’s generally laid-back and pretty mellow. It feels far away from the madness on a back street."
100 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139

Garcia's Seafood
"Garcia’s is no flash, no pretense -- just simple wooden tables by the Miami River. There’s good fresh local fish, due to the fact that fishing boats dock right up to the restaurant to drop of their catch."
398 NW North River Dr, Miami, FL 33128-1626
Eat
Tony Also Recommends: River Oyster Bar
"For slightly more tricked-out ambiance, this restaurant offers largely local and organic cuisine. Inside is a horshoe-shaped bar serving seafood stew and roasted lobster."

S&S Diner
Tony goes here for lunch. He describes it as a gloriously unchanged-by-time greasy spoon. Dating back to the 1930s, S&S features old-school communal seating around a horseshoe bar with stools. Tony orders meatloaf, grits, gravy, peas and an iced tea.

Tony Also Recommends: Bahamian Pot Restaurant
"Run by 3 generations, this place opened in 1989. It’s a great stop if you’re craving island cuisine. One of the best meals is their breakfast of boiled fish and grits served with johnnycakes made of sweet buttery corn meal and milk batter."
