Happy's Stork Lounge

While Miami Beach revels in tropical glory, Happy’s is determined to defy its name. It’s small, dark and just a little bit seedy. Pull up a stool at the bar counter (there’s no other seating) and eavesdrop on dialogue straight out of an Elmore Leonard novel. Despite the talk of handguns, fast cars and some other things that lawyers would advise us against repeating, we’ve always found the folks friendly enough, although you do wonder about a sign on the gents that reads: "No more than two at a time."
