"There are not a lot of casual bars in Brickell. But Better Days is a good one to have on your radar in case you find yourself in Miami’s financial district and aren’t wearing pants or don’t feel like spending $30 on a cocktail. This isn’t a fancy spot. It feels more like hanging out in a friend’s basement than a Brickell bar. It can still get a little cramped and crowded on the weekend, but, if you’re in Brickell, we assume you’ve already accepted that reality." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
"Sure, once upon a time, Better Days called itself a "pop-up" bar, but this laid-back watering hole has become a permanent go-to spot for the Brickell crowd, serving up unique, handcrafted cocktails in a very un-Brickell-like setting." - Olee Fowler
"A neighborhood dive bar is the ideal place to celebrate the holiday season. At least it is if said dive is Better Days, the low-ceiling drinking parlor that’s fueled many a late-night escapade. The bar’s quirky, self-deprecating attitude shows through in its lineup of holiday drinks, highlighted by the Yippee Ki Yay Motherf***er, a tribute to a popular action-packed Christmas movie made with Havana Club Clásico, ube and coconut orgeat, and pineapple juice. It might not give you the liquid courage to save Nakatomi Plaza, but it might just give you enough nerve to challenge the cutie in the corner to a game of pool." - Matthew Meltzer
"There are not a lot of casual bars in Brickell. But Better Days is a good one to have on your radar in case you find yourself in Miami's financial district and aren't wearing pants or don't feel like spending $25 on a cocktail. Or both of those things. Either way, Better Days is going to be a good option. The cozy bar isn't a fancy cocktail spot. It feels more like hanging out in a friend's basement than a Brickell bar. It can still get a little cramped and crowded on the weekend, but, if you're in Brickell, we assume you've already accepted that reality." - Ryan Pfeffer
"By this point, all involved are probably a little buzzed so now it’s time to head to Better Days. This laid-back favorite of Brickell locals offers some of the best deals in town on drinks with the entire bar 50 percent off until 8 p.m. with gratis popcorn, pool, and Jenga to boot. Plus, this watering hole is open until 5 a.m. nightly so guests can keep the drinks flowing as long as they’d like without breaking the bank. (Happy hour menu available daily from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.)" - Olee Fowler
