Since our last posts on happy hours, several great additions have come on the scene that are well worth noting. We’ve rounded up our picks, Part 2, for the best new happy hour Miami for 2016 — in Brickell, Coconut Grove, Midtown and Doral.

Truluck’s

777 Brickell Avenue Miami, FL 33131, (305) 579-0035

I recently went back to Truluck’s for happy hour and, after having tried a lot of others, I see how terrific this one is. That’s why it’s always packed. First of all, you walk in and automatically fall in love with the sophisticated yet casual ambiance with low lights, live entertainment and an enticing happy hour menu. During happy hour, enjoy half price cocktails, ranging from $6-8, featured wines and such appealing food choices it’s tough to choose. We opted for the soft shell crab wrapped in lettuce leaves and the tuna sashimi, both fresh and delicious. The tower of tuna tartare and smoked fish tacos also looked enticing. Popular happy hour drink choices include the Strawberry Mint Julep, Moscow Mule and Sangria (Truluck’s secret recipe). Happy hour at Truluck’s is every night in the Stone Crab Lounge and runs from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Service is very friendly as well, and there’s seating on high tops with white tablecloths or at the bar. Valet parking is available.
