Friday, July 5: Happy Hour at Cana Wine Bar 

The 4th of July weekend is all about good eats, good meats, and (hopefully) good sips. That’s why this Friday, you can find us at Cana Wine Bar on Coral Way sipping on only the best vino in Miami. Join us from 4 to 6 p.m. for happy hour as the wine shop uncorks some of its best selections and fills our wine glasses for only $6. 

Now here’s where it gets even better—our favorite folks from The Wagyu Bar are serving up bites to match for only an extra $4. Make sure to check out their full menu as well, which includes delicacies like beef chicharron served with guacamole and chips, Wagyu beef carpaccio, and The Heart Stopped burger, crafted with 1 lb of USDA high-quality prime ground beef, American cheese, bacon, and a special sauce. Cheers!

Saturday, July 6: Special July 4 Barbecue at RED South Beach

Join us for a feast of all five senses this July 4 weekend as we indulge in a special Barbecue menu curated by Chef Peter Vauthy of RED South Beach. If you know, you know — this is the spot for all things meat, and Chef doesn’t skimp on quality or quantity. The prix fixe menu will include succulent brisket, tender ribs, bone marrow, a massive tomahawk steak, and cornbread, all culminating in a sweet finale of peach cobbler. 

It’s all our barbecue dreams come true and then some. The BBQ special will be happening all July 4 weekend from the 4 to the 7. Whether you’re a regular patron or a first-time visitor, this menu is not to be missed. See you there and come hungry! P.S. Reservations are highly recommended. 

Sunday, July 7: Brunch at Barsecco

Brunch at Barsecco is a lively affair you won’t want to miss. From noon to 4 p.m. (yes, you don’t need to wake up at the crack of dawn for this one), enjoy endless mimosas while savoring the global cuisine in this Brickell hotspot. Here the shareable smoked salmon tower is a must, featuring Norwegian salmon, assorted bagels, and all the classic shmear accompaniments. Other standout brunch dishes include the crispy golden fried Sicilian arancini, the Mexi-Cali avocado toast served with charred corn and spicy mayo, and for those of us who like their brunch sweet—the irresistible pistachio cannoli French toast. Please do try. 

If unlimited mimosas aren’t your thing, the brunch signature cocktail menu is not to be missed, like the perfect pick-me-up Mocca-tini, crafted with Kettle One Vodka, cream cacao, espresso, and JF Colada coffee liquor. Enjoy these delights against the backdrop of a live DJ set, plush seating, and the breezy outdoor patio, perfect for relaxing weekends and catching up with the besties.
