Balan's

"On October 26, Balan’s hosts Villains and Vixens night with a live DJ, fire performers, cocktail specials, and bottomless martinis ($45 per person for 90 minutes of martinis until 10 p.m.). Enjoy a Halloween prix fixe dinner ($60 per person) that includes bang bang shrimp, cheese empanadas, thick-cut bacon, and tuna tartare for starters before you choose a main dish (truffle carbonara, pan-seared branzino, or coconut curry)." - Laine Doss

"Balan’s Oaxaca espresso martini gets a Mexican twist with a stir of Amaras Espadin Mezcal, complemented by precise mix of coffee and Kahlua. Offered daily for $17.95" - Juliana Accioly

"Whether it’s a 'late lunch' or the official start to happy hour (no judgment here), at Balan's Brickell location happy hour kicks off at the early hour of 3 p.m. every day. Head to the heart of the bustling neighborhood to sip on $5 select wine and beer, $8 cocktails, $7 liquor, and discounted bites like sundried tomato and lentil hummus, mushroom sliders, beef skewers, lamb meatballs, and shrimp tempura, all of which will lay a nice foundation of sustenance for the multi-location happy hour tour. (Happy hour menu is available daily from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.)" - Olee Fowler
