Do Not Sit On The Furniture! Designed more for dancing than sitting (hence the name), it’s packed tight and kept very dark, except for those moments when the gorgeous light fixture flashes and illuminates everything around you. Helmed by internationally renowned DJ-producer Behrouz and his partner Megan, Do Not Sit has earned a reputation for offering top-tier guest acts and underground sensibilities in a less pretentious setting and with a more accessible cover.

Time Out Miami
Hyde Beach Hollywood style found its way to South Beach in June 2012 when the SLS Hotel opened at the corner of Collins and 17th, and brought the ultra-exclusive Hyde nightclub with it. The daytime pool party is always a riot. We’re talking CO2 cannons, go-go dancers, fist-pumping out-of-towners and cocktails the size of football players. From Thursday to Sunday, the action continues well past sunset, when scenesters hunker down within the whimsical, Philippe Starck-designed club for A-list acts like Guy Gerber, Claptone and Kaskade.

The Oldest House In Miami The Barnacle, a real historical jewel in the heart of Coconut Grove, is one of the oldest buildings in Miami-Dade County standing in its original location! Today, the Barnacle Historic State Park is a popular spot for both history enthusiasts and those looking for a beautiful view. It is open to the public, offering a unique experience to go back in time to the history of Coconut Grove and all of South Florida. Aside from guided tours, there are concerts, yoga classes, movie screenings, picnic dates and more events to choose from at the site. Or you can simply lay back on the lawn and enjoy the same view as Munroe did with his family back in the early 1900s. The Barnacle Society Inc., a nonprofit volunteer organization, works all year to set up fun programming and preserve the historic state park.
Time Out Miami
White Rose “Specialty coffee, tattoo lobby, working lounge & lifestyle café.” There’s one thing for sure about White Rose: You won’t find another coffee shop like it. The space is also home to Ocho Placas Tattoo Company, The Betancourt Gallery and Palm Film Lab, so you’ll see plenty of creative types weaving in and out at any hour of the day. The coffee shop is a hotbed for local brands: you could grab pair a gold milk latte with a box of Milly’s Empanadas or your Espresso Fino pour over with cookies from local bakers. They do some serious coffee art here too, although the sweet tooths out there should order the cafe bombon, a double shot with condensed milk.

Time Out Miami
Legion Park Farmers’ Market Legion Park is the place to be on a beautiful Saturday morning, as tents pop up from Biscayne Boulevard all the way to Biscayne Bay. Run by Urban Oasis Project, which oversees some of Miami’s most important farmers markets, you’ll find produce from local favorites like Little River Cooperative and French Farms, artisan-made goods like fresh breads, hummus and empanadas (the Chilean ones are excellent), and even dog treats. (Don’t worry, Fido always gets a free sample.) In the morning, a hundred or so yogis gather under the Spanish-oak draped banyan trees for a donation-based yoga class, and then stock up on goods from some of the new age vendors onsite. When to go: Saturdays 9am–2pm, year-round
Time Out Miami
Coconut Grove Farmers’ Market The Coconut Grove Farmers Market is probably Miami’s most well-known. Every Saturday, Homestead's Glaser Organic Farms transforms an unoccupied corner of Coconut Grove into a full-fledged produce market with dozens of fruit and vegetable stands, a raw bar featuring prepared foods and salads and coolers filled with cold-pressed juices and nut mylks. There’s even velvety vegan ice cream for sale and several rows of picnic tables where you can sit and enjoy your bounty. Along its periphery, you’ll find other local vendors selling honey, homemade soaps, handmade jewelry and other artisanal items. And the setup and breakdown are so fascinating to watch! Much like the circus leaving town, everyone quickly dismantles their tents and packs up just after sunset, leaving no trace of the bustling day on the empty gravel lot. 3300 Grand Ave, on the corner of Margaret St and Grand Ave. When to go: Saturdays 10am–7pm, year-round

JAGUAR SUN Downtown Jaguar Sun is probably our favorite place in Miami. Some may say it’s a cocktail bar, others, a restaurant with an awesome pasta selection. We’d like to think of it as a combination of both. And there’s something about the vibe that makes you want to chat with the person next to you. Our favorite dishes include the Hokkaido Scallop, the Wagyu Beef Carpaccio with the most delish charred leek aioli, Agnolotti with blue crab, and the Spicy Rigatoni. Make sure to ask if there are any new dishes or off-menu items, sometimes they’ll have something to share with you. Leave room for a Wolf Whistle, their version of a tequila espresso martini paired with dessert.

Trending Community Gatherings in Downtown Miami
One of the best-kept secrets about Downtown Miami is its rich array of community gatherings that cater to diverse fields. Events like StartUp Spotlights and Creative Minds Meetups regularly draw a crowd of innovative thinkers and industry leaders. These gatherings are often hosted at venues like The Idea Center and Venture Cafe Miami—local staples known for fostering an environment of collaboration and inspiration.
For those in the tech industry, Miami Tech Week is a must-attend, featuring a week-long series of events that include panels, workshops, and networking mixers. Similarly, the Art Basel crowd knows to look out for ancillary events, such as VIP gallery openings and exclusive parties, where rubbing shoulders with influential figures is a given.
Socializing in Style: Miami's Nightlife & Cocktails
Networking doesn’t have to be confined to formal settings; Downtown Miami's nightlife offers unique opportunities to mingle and make connections. Venues like Komodo and Blackbird Ordinary are frequented by locals and professionals alike, offering an upscale yet relaxed atmosphere perfect for building relationships over signature cocktails.
Thursdays are particularly buzzing at Astra Rooftop, where the Happy Hour Networking Events blend spectacular views with a curated selection of drinks. These gatherings often feature live music, creating a convivial atmosphere that encourages organic interactions.
Local Insights: The Power of Anonymous Chats

From Formal Events to Casual Gatherings
If you prefer more structured networking events, Downtown Miami has you covered with a robust calendar of conferences and expos. The Miami Business Expo, for example, features stalls, keynote speeches, and B2B networking opportunities that can be pivotal for growing your professional circle.
Alternatively, if informal interactions are more your style, keep an eye out for Popup Markets and Art Walks that frequent spots like Bayfront Park. Here, casual conversations often turn into significant networking opportunities amidst a background of local arts and crafts.
Hidden Networking Gems in Miami
For those willing to dig deeper, venues like WeWork Miami and Made at the Citadel offer shared workspaces that double as networking hubs. These spots frequently host lunchtime lectures and evening networking events that are more laid-back compared to larger conferences.
Another lesser-known locale is the Miami Ad School, which periodically opens its doors for portfolio reviews and industry talks, providing a unique platform to connect with creative professionals in advertising and media.
Finally, you shouldn't overlook the power of attending local fitness events. Spaces like The Yoga Room regularly organize wellness sessions where the shared experience of exercises and mindfulness practices can lead to surprisingly fruitful connections.
