136 // EAT, RAVE, REPEAT

- BY CARLA TORRES

Revelry, imbibing, and indulging is the natural progressio­n during March’s many music events. Do it all at these bars and clubs where the partying, drinking, and eating never stop.

ALL JAZZED UP: THE CORNER What happens at the Corner— where the city’s cool kids unite for jazz, Prohibitio­n-style cocktails, 4 AM Crazy Madames, and Cuban-style ice cream sandwiches—stays at the Corner. 1035 N. Miami Ave., Miami, 305-9617887; thecornerm­iami.com

COMFORT FOOD AT THE CLUB: E11EVEN You could actually spend all 24 hours at the city’s only 24/7 showclub and never go hungry, thanks to a hefty menu that includes pizza, sliders, and chicken and waffles. Craving smoked Gouda mac and cheese or serrano ham croquettes? Simply take the elevator up to the roof. 29 NE 11th St., Miami, 305-829-2911; 11miami.com SWEET DREAMS: SUGAR Be sure to dress the part (no sneakers!) if you’re heading to the rooftop drinking oasis Sugar after Ultra. Besides ordering the off-menu mezcal chili margarita, satisfy your sweet tooth with coconut pandan and Florida mango leaf crêpes or a lychee crème brûlée that’s even sweeter than the 40th-floor views. 788 Brickell Plz., Miami, 786805-4655; east-miami.com

THE WHOLE ENCHILADA: BODEGA Get your fish-and-chips taco fix before and after the pool party, and keep the night going with smoked horchata mezcal shots. No dancing room? Walk over to Ricky’s, where loaded fries and 150-plus whiskeys await. 1220 16th St., Miami Beach, 305-7042145; bodegasout­hbeach.com BURGER AND FRIES: SWEET LIBERTY Besides mixing up fantastic libations, the Spirited Awards’ Best New American Cocktail Bar also serves the superb Buns of Liberty Burger with rosemary shoestring fries. And cauliflowe­r nachos. And bourbon bread pudding. Plus, Irish coffee for the ultimate nightcap. 237 20th St., Miami Beach, 305763-8217; mysweetlib­erty.com

BASS DROP BRUNCH: NIKKI BEACH Make Sunday a real fun day with a not-so-little brunch at Nikki Beach, featuring every food station under the sun—raw bar, omelets made to order, paella, salad, rotisserie and carving, fresh crêpes and Belgian waffles, and dessert—followed by lots of untz-untz under the sun. 1 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach, 305538-1111; nikkibeach.com KARAOKE PIZZA PARTY: BAY CLUB At some point during the partying, you’ll need kale (but want pizza) without breaking your buzz. Kill two birds with a visit to Lucali’s secret speakeasy, Bay Club, where barand full-size pies and anything else you fancy from Lucali’s menu (kale Caesar, anyone?) can be ordered with a proper cocktail to wash it down. Pro tip: Thursday-night karaoke gets lit. 1930 Bay Road, Miami Beach, 305-695-4441; lucali.com

LIFESAVER: RADIO BAR Need to sober up? Radio’s caprese pesto grilled cheese will bring you back to life for whatever’s next on the musical agenda. Before you go, wet your whistle and get your antioxidan­ts with the blueberry mule. 814 First St., Miami Beach, 305397-8382; radiosouth­beach.com
