The Bend Liquor Lounge

Where To Make Friends When Miami Feels A Little Lonely - Miami - The Infatuation

"This Hialeah dive bar has two personalities: one is loud, plays sports, and hosts DJs. The other is quiet, has a functioning N64, and oozes with ‘70s nostalgia. On Thursdays, they have karaoke nights that set the stage (literally) for friendships to form. You’ll probably meet someone who shares a similar passion for Destiny’s Child and Panic! at The Disco, and they’ll happily sing off-key with you. But if singing with a bunch of strangers isn’t your style, the N64 room is an introvert-friendly option for meeting people. Here, they only serve beer and wine, and, if nothing else, you can strike up a long conversation with the server about beer and wine. But they also have classic N64 games, which is a lovely opportunity to bond with people over your personal ranking of Smash Bros. characters." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino
