Courtney Love Chills at Rickys

courtney-love

Courtney Love, who did a little Art Baseling and has expressed a penchant for fine Miami dining at places like Upland and Alter, took some time off from her Kansas City Choir Boy show Thursday to kick back with friends at the recently opened Ricky’s on South Beach for their weekly Thursday live rock music night. Love, wearing a black, gold, and blue metallic floral patterned dress and glittery eye makeup, showed up to the kitschy 80s-inspired bar/restaurant with a few friends around midnight, settling into a table where she was seen smoking and enjoying the live music for about an hour. The 52-year-old godmother of grunge was, to some onlookers’ dismay, pretty mellow and, well, mature. No ass implants or twerking from her–yet. Stay tuned. Article from The Savvy Gadfly.

Bodega – Best ‘Secret’ Bars In Miami

bodega

When it comes to tacos, there’s rarely something more authentic (and unnerving) than getting them from an old, graffiti-covered garage with cardboard food signs, a tiny taco truck, and a battered, indoor porta-potty scribbled with “BAÑOS.” But, go through that bright-blue crapper door and you’ll step right into the 305 version of Narnia: a swanky, two-story speakeasy-lounge with vintage couches, a long wooden bar, mas tequila, and lit wall-messages that are just so… Miami.
How to get in: Seriously, look for the porta-potty door marked “Baños.”

LIBERTINE also made Thrillist’s list as one of the best secret bars in Miami. See who else made the cut here.
