In cities where the weather sucks nine months out of the year, summer is something you look forward to and hold onto tighter than your $20 stunt drink at a South Beach bar. Your employer might offer summer Friday perks to compensate for the long wait/acknowledge you’ve spent the latter part of the week G-chatting your friends.
In Miami, where sweltering heat is our reality 351 days a year (we get two weeks of respite on average), the chances of dipping out on Friday are slim. Though, if you’re among the fortunate clocking out early this summer, or happen to be self-employed and stick it to the man on the reg, these three summer Friday specials are for you. Have a drink for us, k?
Makoto Fridays
We could eat about 500 of Makoto’s crispy rice pieces, and you might be tempted to also: Summer Fridays bring $5 crispy rice and $10 featured cocktails from 4 to 6:30pm.
A Votre Sante at Le Zoo
The name of this special is actually a toast in France, where people don’t need summer Fridays because they’ve likely been drinking rosé since noon. Get a taste of the fabulous vie Française at Le Zoo, featuring $1 oysters, $8 selected cocktails, $7 Simonet champagne, $6 wines and other specials from 4 to 6pm.
Pizza party at Upland Miami
The fanciest pizza party you’ll attend this summer as at Upland, surely. Stop by between 4 and 7pm for $7 beers, $8 wines and $9 cocktails and get a slice of Margherita pie on the house. Show off your #blessed work life on Instagram and tag @Upland_MIA to be entered in a monthly drawing for 10 pizzas for the office from the restaurant.
