Kill Your Idol

"The smaller counterpart to Lost Weekend on Española Way has a more rock n' roll vibe and plenty of odd decorations. Plus, its happy hour runs daily from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. offering even more discounted beverages." - Olee Fowler

"If you’re looking for a place to watch a drag queen do a flip off the bar and land in a straddle directly in front of your vodka soda, look no further than Kill Your Idol on a Friday night. With half-off drinks and performances all night by some pretty well-known drag queens like TV’s Trinity K. Bonet and Miami’s own Malaysia Babydoll Foxx, it’s one of the cooler experiences in South Beach. Centrally located right off Española Way, this place has events all week long too, from live bands to karaoke to watch parties for RuPaul’s Drag Race. As an added bonus, if you happen to need a break from the usually-packed, narrow space, you can pop on over to the adjoining Lost Weekend, a much bigger bar with some TVs and pool tables." - Isabel Maza

"There are so many bars that recall the cocktail glory days of the roaring '20s, but Kill Your Idol has a very different sort of throwback appeal—something more akin to NYC's East Village punk rock scene of the 1970s and ‘80s. Fashionable in a counter-culture kind of way, the bar’s décor focuses on a statue of Bruce Lee, with a ’70s Playboy pinball machine that's a time warp if there ever was one. With its love of the offbeat and weekly lineup of events (Monday’s Drag Night is a big draw), Kill Your Idol is where Miamians go to escape the velvet ropes and bottle service that dominate South Beach." - Jennifer M.
