SoBe Party - South Beach Party Central

Currently, and according to several popular magazines such as The New Times and Ocean Drive, South Beach has replaced both Los Angeles and New York City as the premier and most popular nightlife spot in the U.S. It is host to over 150 clubs and other destinations, most of which close at 5 am.

South Beach can be expensive, and access to nightclubs is oftentimes difficult for non-locals who do not have connections. Assuming one does not have connections, access to the more popular nightspots can cost from $20-60 for entry (depending on event and venue) and a wait of up to several hours, in addition to the loss of dignity from being scrutinized by door staff.

Nightlife in South Beach is dynamic. Clubs constantly change decor, name, and owner, so it is difficult to state at any given time which clubs are popular. For a current look, see Sobe Party Forum.  However, there are several current clubs that have achieved famed "Studio 54" status, and will forever have an impact on the nightlife in the area, such as Crobar, Privé, Opium Garden, and Nikki Beach.
