Purdy Lounge

With the exception of a wall of lava lamps, Purdy is not unlike your best friend's basement, featuring a pool table and a slew of board games such as Operation to keep the attention-deficit disordered from getting bored. Because it's a no-nonsense bar with relatively cheap cocktails (by South Beach standards), Purdy gets away with not having a star DJ or fancy bass-heavy Bose sound system. A CD player somehow does the trick. With no cover and no attitude, a line is inevitable, so be prepared to wait. Saturday night has become the preferred night for locals, while Friday night happy hour draws a young professional crowd on the prowl.

1811 Purdy Ave./Sunset Harbor.Phone: 305/531-4622.Credit Cards: No cover.
