9 Spots for Singles in Miami

201 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables, FL 33134 (map)

There is no such thing as immediate dinnertime seating at this Miracle Mile magnet. It's just as well. The bar at the entrance is huge and buzzing with chatty drinkers who are either waiting for a table or pretending to just to get to know you a little better.

1555 SE 17th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316 (map)

Live entertainment on Friday nights is a big draw at this waterfront watering hole in Fort Lauderdale. Happy Hour also runs a generous 4pm to 7pm daily, and then again for a second round of half-priced drinks between 10pm and midnight.

377 Alhambra Cir, Coral Gables, FL 33134 (map)

Between Tuesday night's wine specials and the live jazz performance on Saturdays, this Coral Gables icon is cool and tenured. Weekday happy hours fill the bar with area professionals who come to wash away the workday, network and chat it up with someone new.

432 W 41st St, Miami Beach, FL 33140 (map)

Dining at the high-end institution that has weathered the scene for decades isn't just about the food. It gives guys a chance to scout the playing field. It gives ladies the chance to weed out those who are maxed out on their credit cards. It all comes into play when they come together to dance the night away at the adjacent dance club.

4 Grove Isle Dr, Miami, FL 33133 (map)

The desolate Grove Isle location offers romantic waterfront vistas for the well-dressed crowd with fancy appetites. The chimpanzee fixtures add a little levity to the opulence, but no one is monkeying around when the icebreakers fly at the after-dinner lounge.

1445 Pennsylvania Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (map)

If food is an aphrodisiac, there may be more to this SoBe hotspot's appetizers with names like "The French Kiss" and "Tantra Love Apple" than meet the palate. The waterfalls, glass floors and risque artwork will set the tone if the menu does not.

1235 Washington Ave, Miami Beach, FL 33139 (map)

How do you fill a cavernous 40,000-square-foot nightclub? That's not your problem. It's your opportunity. After all, the bigger the club, the better the chance that you will bump into that special someone. The drinks aren't cheap and the velvet rope can be stiff, but it's hard to resist the allure of thousands of hard bodies on the many dance floors.
