Summer is almost over. Are you ravenous yet? Local restaurants seem to think so as they roll out new happy hour specials and prix-fixe deals this month—in addition to Miami Spice, which also kicks off today. August is feasting time, folks. Here’s where you can stuff your face through the end of summer and save money while you’re at it.
Happy hour at Obra Kitchen Table
The Brickell restaurant just launched a weekday happy hour available from 4 to 8pm. Every day except for Tuesday—when only booze is discounted and the deal runs till 10pm—food specials include tequeños and empanaditas for $9, fried arepitas for $7 and cheese and charcuterie boards for $15 and $17, respectively. Chase your Venezuelan feast with $2 prosecco, $5 micheladas and $3 draft beer. Obra’s bar takes up most of the dining room, which makes this a particularly great deal if you’re looking for a cheap dinner option.
Prix-fixe specials at the Butcher Shop
Here’s another reason to put off your summer diet: the Butcher Shop’s prix-fixe specials launch today and run through September 30. Get a two-course meal for $16 at lunch and three courses at dinner for $25. Build your own tasting menu from appetizers like chicharrones and pan-seared pierogies and entrée options such as steak frites and roasted chicken. Dining late? The biergarten and restaurant also offers a late-night happy hour Sunday through Thursday, from 10pm to close, through the rest of summer.
Coffee and tacos at the Nautilus South Beach
Move your coffee break to the Nautilus hotel this summer. Starting today, the South Beach hotel offers half-price cafecito and other caffeinated beverages plus pastries and snacks every day from 4 to 5pm. Tuesdays bring a new stellar taco special: $29 for unlimited tacos and a small pitcher of watermelon margaritas (about two glasses).
Sunset menu at Juvia
Here’s a more refined, sophisticated version of happy hour. Juvia’s new sunset menu features discounted cocktails and appetizers every day from 6 to 8pm. Chill at the bar, kick back on the terrace or sit down to dinner and take advantage of $11 drinks (normally $18) and $10 appetizers like hamachi tacos and salmon bruschetta.
After office hours at Tacology
Monday through Thursday, leave the office early for Tacology’s new post-work recharge. Grab a seat at the bar from 5 to 7pm and get $6 margaritas and various other cocktails, $3.50 tacos like steak and carnitas, and $6 guacamole.
