Monty's is always the move

The one place every University of Miami student can plan on seeing everyone they know is Monty’s in Coconut Grove on a Friday night between 4:00pm and 8:00pm – aka: happy hour. Monty’s is a mostly outdoor restaurant with raw bar and a great menu with a variety of foods. The straw huts outside that cover the picnic tables give it a tropical feel.

Monty’s on a Friday during happy hour is the place to be. It’s a place to mingle, meet up with friends, get half price drinks and make plans for the weekend. The most well-known drink that everyone always gets is the Pain Remover 3; known to all the regulars as a PK-3. This drink is so strong it could make Big Foot pass out after two drinks. But how can anyone resist? It’s just so delicious.

University of Miami student Karolina Loredo says it’s a big night for Greek Life. “We all come together with our sisters, and we love to dress up a little bit because we know we’re going to see a million people we know here,” she said.

“My favorite drink is the PK-3, but honestly if I’m trying to make it out later that night I go for the Miami Vice.”

And that is the Monty’s struggle – everyone has so much fun at happy hour, it’s hard to recover after. @UMPains on Twitter recently posted a tweet that said, “I will not pass out after Monty’s, I will not pass out after Monty’s, I will not pass out after Monty’s.” The struggle is real. Monty’s is such a chill, fun environment that people tend to stay later than happy hour.

Monty’s has been on of my personal favorite places to go in Miami since being down here. You don’t get more of a beachy, Miami feel than going to happy hour at Monty’s. If you’re visiting Miami there is one in Coconut Grove as well as in South Beach. Friday Happy Hour is something you definitely don’t want to miss!
