8 Spots for a Guys Night Out in Miami
Updated: October 21, 2009
Heading out for a night of fun with the boys? When you're in Miami, this doesn't mean settling for a night of poker in your den or renting a fistful of Clint Eastwood DVDs. You can canvas the town and find a restaurant that will keep piling sirloin on your plate until you send out a red light or blues club that's been boozing up locals since 1912. Miami also lets you get into the game, and that even includes legal wagering if jai-alai is up your alley. Check out our best recommendations.

Whether it's the Florida Marlins or the Miami Dolphins on the field, there is always a skybox worth renting with the boys. The football games typically sell out, though there are always seats to be had when the baseball diamond is in play.

Miami Jai-Alai
Write a review3500 NW 37th Ave, Miami, FL 33142 (map)
You can always grab the cheap seats as you place your bets on players snagging "pelotas" in their "cestas." If you want to kick things up a notch, head up to the steakhouse upstairs, where you can still wager between hearty courses.

Porcao Churrascaria
Read Reviews801 Brickell Bay Dr, Miami, FL 33131 (map)
The city's original Brazilian churrascaria is where testosterone meets carnivorous decadence. Skewer-wielding gauchos slice prime cuts of meat at your table until you've had enough. It's a sea of power suits brokering deals in the heart of Miami's financial district by day, but a more jovial vibe at night.
