Fort Lauderdale is lacing up for one hell of a night. At 8 p.m., our Florida Panthers hit the ice at Amerant Bank Arena for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final, and yes, we still have chills from last year's run. But this time? We're back, battle-hardened, and ready to finish the job. Whether you're catching the game from a raucous sports bar, a sticky dive, or a craft beer haven, Fort Lauderdale bars are the place to be tonight.

Some things in Miami definitely need an upgrade, like the Metrorail system, the U.S. Post Office along Grand Avenue in Coconut Grove (for real), and maybe, just maybe, your apartment complex's pool area if it was built before 2005. But a beloved, grungy dive bar with decades of wear, tear, personality, sticky floors, and stories to tell?! That's exactly what is going down over at Seven Seas bar (also written as Se7as Bar), which was named New Times' Best Karaoke in 2024.

A bakery and coffee shop beloved by everyone from classic Gables residents to singer Joe Jonas is now the home of a brand new pop-up. Hint: It's umami, hot, and absolutely a secret (that is, until now). Tinta y Cafe in Coral Gables is now the home of a hot ramen pop-up called Peacock Ramen, which occurs every Saturday from 6:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. It already has every local food blogger in Miami drooling for more — and New Times knows why.
