Happy Hours Brickell

 

 

Gekkō

There are a lot more reasons to go to the Happy Hour at Gekkō besides the fact that one of the owners is Bad Bunny and some of the lounge music in the attractive bars is his. After receiving an invitation that was a WOW DIY cocktail kit complete with social media tools and playlist, we made it over there and tried the daily happy hour which is in a part of the bar of the Japanese inspired steakhouse on Brickell Avenue.

 

The HH offers good value considering the quality, like $12 cocktails, wines and sake for $10; beers and hard seltzers for $6; and a selection of 12 light bites for $10 to $14, with one option of Yakiniku sliders for $16. Everything we ate was really delicious, starting with a dish I’d like for lunch everyday: veggie maki. Instead of rice, everything in the roll is of vegetables, cucumber, kampyo and avocado.

The shishito peppers were crispy and had a welcome kick. We enjoyed the salmon truffle handroll with ponzu, delicate and very fresh. The star besides Bad Bunny and the veggie maki was the salt and pepper calamari with pickled fresno. The calamari was so crisply fried it tasted almost like tempura, the inside was the right amount of chewy, and the seasoning was a little piquant, perfectly so. The setting is small and intimate, kind of Asian modern, with Japanese motif wallpaper, pastel colored bamboo lighting fixtures, and strategically placed tubes of magenta fluorescent lighting. Service was friendly and professional. Stay tuned for an upcoming review of the Gekkō steakhouse. Gekkō , 8 SE 8thStreet, Miami.

 

Gekko

 

Tacology in Brickell City Centre has always been ahead of most of the Mexican restaurants in Miami with its riffs on traditional Mexican fare along with renditions of classics. I like the décor, too.Think modern street market with colorful painted plank tables and floors and high ceilings with self-contained sections for tacos, ceviche, desserts and a bar. It’s buzzy, and fun.

Pubbelly Sushi (Brickell,Doral, Miami Beach,Dadeland and Aventura)

The popular Pubbelly Sushi Group with locations in Brickell, Doral, Miami Beach, Dadeland and Aventura, has a serious offering for happy hour which runs daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at all its locations except for Doral which runs until 7 p.m.. Beverage options include beer for $5-$6, sake ($9-$10),wines at $6-$7 a glass and a selection of 8 signature cocktails for $8 to $11 (note, all locations don’t have cocktails on the happy hour menu). What stands out is their selection of light bites, so well curated it was tough to choose. Twelve options range from seafood rolls and vegan pizza ($10) to  kimchee fried rice ($14). Our favorites were the butter krab roll ($14), a thin wrapper stuffed with delicious krab and just a little rice, along with mayo; and the super crispy rice topped with generous portions of salmon;  salmon taquitos with avocado mousse and spicy lemon grass picante. Next time we’d like to try the steak anticucho ($14), truffle corn ($11), big eye tuna roll ($12), and Korean bravas ($9) — tri color Korean potatoes that are flash  fried, then grilled and topped with kimchee sauce and salad and cilantro.  For your Brickell happy hour, it’s at Brickell City Centre.
