Plan to start one evening of your week at the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science. The Wetlab, with short but very sweet hours of operation (Wednesdays and Thursdays from 5:00-9:00 and Fridays from 4:30-11:00) is praised as being not only a great, mellow place to sit outside and enjoy a drink with friends, but also as being one of the few social hotspots “that still put nature’s beauty on display.”

The Wetlab is strictly a bar, so don’t go there expecting to eat, but you can look forward to a full bar, cheap drinks, a great view of Bicayne Bay, and no pressure! Important: The Wetlab’s bar is cash only!
