Making it through the work week in Miami can be a grind. There's long commutes extended by excess traffic, deadlines at the office, and not nearly enough caffeine to get you through the day. Really, the only thing helping you make it to the weekend is happy hour, and few cities do happy hour quite like Miami. It feels like every restaurant and bar has some sort of happy hour special to attracts Miami's stressed young professionals. Whether you prefer wine, beer, or spirits, there's something for you to ease the midweek struggle.
As arguably Wynwood's most popular bar, Wood Tavern is never without a crowd, and one of the reasons for that is their chill atmosphere and customer-friendly prices. Wood Tavern hosts happy hour every day from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, making their already-affordable drink options priced even better. If you're a member of the fairer sex, Ladies Night picks up as happy hour ends, so feel free to hang around for more libations!
