Mucky Duck Pub: Cool place to watch the sunset in Captiva

by Jefie

The story goes that the idea of turning this former beach house into a pub came as its owners were enjoying a cold beer while watching the sunset on Captiva Island. The view was just too good to be true, and they felt it had to be shared with other people. A year later, in 1976, the Mucky Duck Pub opened its doors. The pub features a lovely beachfront section where patrons can sip a few drinks with their feet buried in the warm sand and order some appetizers. Once the sun is gone, it's also possible to have dinner inside (reservations are recommended).

Mangos Tropical Cafe: Tourist place on South beach

by bcorbitt

Cheesy and Touristy does not describe this place. Constant stream of women and some men dancing in stereotypical outfits. Food was just a step above taco bell as would rather had a burrito from chipotle or qdoba. The club area got fun playing every popular song you can imagine from YMCA to the Twist. Everything from club suits to touristy shorts and t-shirts

Blue Martini: Club not on South beach

by bcorbitt

Went on a wednesday night with many people from the conference though it would have been crowded without us. Many locals and decent house bound and not extremely loud music. Service was reasonably fast considering the number of people. Nice semi outdoor area took advantage of the cooler night air with plenty of air conditioning in the rest of the place. Normal club night life clothing as though some people were in suits having come from work most were in in skimpy outfits or jeans and tees.

House of Blues: Awesome concert venue!

by ArenJo

I went to the House of Blues for the first time in my life last night. It is really convenient because it is at Downtown Disney and there is plenty of parking! The decorations were great, the concert was awesome and I'm not sure how common it is, but I waited around afterward and got to meet the artist. Best concert I have been to in my entire life!!!Also not sure how common it is, but I bought tickets when I showed up an hour before the concert with no problem. The concert didn't get packed until after it had started.Also, very good place to meet singles believe it or not. Anything goes...

Cheaters in Cocoa Beach: Cheaters in Cocoa Beach

by ArenJo

The club was clean, the waitress was good, and the girls were nice. Lots of different girls too, even during the day. Very cheap drinks. A nice place to hang out with friends. I don't know about night time, but there was no charge to get in during the day.

Old Town: Old fashioned fun

by tracey.brownsword

Old Town is great! Full of numerous cafes, bars, gift shops, boutiques, amusements and a great opportunity to people watch!!If you are taking children as it can get a bit noisey, busy and rowdy especially at the weekends. We didn't experience no problems but we did leave a bit earlier than we would of, had we been childless for the night!! Casual clothes

Club Mansion: Miami Nightlife

by kimmie.casey

I purchased my ticket early, online, and was able to get in the club ahead of several people. I paid less for my ticket that way too! Expect to spend around $50 to $100 to get in the door. Here is an example on drink prices: My friend and I go to the bar and order " rum and coke and a vodka redbull please". Price = $25.00 plus a $5.00 tip. As you can tell that was a pretty expensive nite but with Sascha and Digweed DJing it was well worth it! Dress is normal club attire. SEXY!!!
