The Foxhole New Year’s EveNot quite a year old, The Foxhole is a secret, speakeasy-esque South Beach lounge. Behind an unmarked door on an easy-to-overlook side street off Alton, this spot may seem a little seedy from the outside, but don’t let that fool you. Inside, you’ll find a slick bar with leather booths, pool tables, darts, and a more polished upstairs lounge area. For New Year’s Eve The Foxhole will have tunes from DJ D Up – voted Miami’s Best DJ of 2011 by the Miami New Times – DJ Iron Lyon, and DJ Sharpsound. They’ll play an all-encompassing set of house, electro, hip hop, rock, 80s classics, reggaeton, & more. MORE INFO.

Bardot New Year’s EveFrom the outside, there’s no sign of life, just a desolate stretch of midtown strip malls on North Miami Avenue.

Known for showcasing an amazingly diverse lineup of artists – from sonic jazz to Latin fusion, classic hip-hop, vintage funk, electronic trance, reggae, alternative rock, and more – this New Year’s Eve Bardot will be hosting NYC DJ Eli Escobar (of NYC’s Le Bain), who will be dropping his deep house edits alongside rising Miami DJ, Santiago Caballero, Troy Kurtz, Derek Walin and Pirate Stereo.

Tobacco Road New Year’s Eve.Miami’s favorite (and oldest) dive bar is celebrating its 100th New Year’s Eve. Does a thin layer of grime cover everything there? Yes. Does it kind of smell like old cigarettes? Yup. But this beloved Miami staple remains one of the greatest spots to see local musicians perform. The 100th anniversary is momentous occasion in and of itself, but this might also be one of the last few New Year’s Eves to celebrate at Tobacco Road – Carlos J. Mattos, founder and president of Hyundai Colombia Automotriz, recently purchased the land Tobacco Road sits on and may be redeveloping it in the next few years 🙁 Enjoy the hole-in-the-wall while you still can!
