"The mezzanine above the warehouse is a great place to drink beer, talk about how much you miss the old Miami, and hang out with friends who don’t judge you for still using ellipses when you text. You can book the room online, but you can also just tell your buddies to meet you for burgers and beer on the back patio, where Lala’s has recently started selling really good, appropriately greasy cheeseburgers. Maybe it’s the No Doubt songs or Patrick Swayze-themed beers, but something about Lincoln’s Beard always makes you want to dance like you’ve never heard the word sciatica. Plan your party on a Friday or Saturday, when local musicians like Carlos Escanilla party like it’s 1999." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
