  Liquor is quicker- and cheaper in the stores!

If you are cheap by nature, I would not recommend South Beach as a vacation spot. Not if you really want enjoy what it has to offer. Though it seems the people vacationing here have become cheaper and cheaper (classless), the prices of drinks and food are constantly rising. If you find your way into the A crowd, expect to pay big money for drinks, whether you are buying a bottle of beer ($6+), a glass of wine ($10+) a cocktail ($9-$20), or bottle service ($175-$400). Some places will not let you in without bottle service.

Unique Suggestions: If you do not want to pay for the high prices drinks, you can always trek to one of the many liquor stores on South Beach. (Though I would still recommend trying at least a few of South Beach's tasty spirits.) This way, you can have a few in the room before you hit the clubs! There are a couple of liquor stores on the East (ocean) side of Washington Ave.

Fun Alternatives: If the liquor stores are too pricey for you, you might want to ask yourself if perhaps you shouldn't be vacationing in Tennessee instead of Miami.
