I went to another one. So unless u went to the one I did and all the clubs in Miami, you can't say ALL clubs don't close at 2:30am. You may have a fondness for the place or maybe from there but that doesn't mean you hype it up and lie beyond what it is which what people do about the party atmosphere in Miami.

What club did you go to that closed at 2:30? Even in Atlanta most people do not fill the clubs until after midnight. Collins drive have all the clubs and most people are inside of them between 2:30am and 5am. The streets are not as crowded during those times because after 11pm people are arriving on south beach to go to a club not walk around in the streets. If you want to see the streets crowded all night, try going on memorial day weekend.

I found MARTA to be quite refreshing from D.C. METRO actually. Have you ever tried and compared both?

Why should I have to go then when Miami party's 24/7 and 365? Should it even matter? Labor Day weekend should be just as poppin.

I do not recall the club name but it was close to collins ave and despite that you just proved my point that it's not as alive during those hours and why not when the weather is the best this country has to offer? At the least it should not resemble a ghost town.

There is a Kosher Kroger located in Toco Hills (Lavista Rd area) that is open 24 hours. Krispy Kreme on Ponce De Leon is 24 hours.... buy yourself a dozen glazed doughnuts when the hot light is flashing. Yummy!

The Varsity Downtown, although not 24 hours, is open late. It has lots of burgers, dogs, onion rings, fries, etc.

The Varsity Downtown
61 North Avenue
Atlanta GA 30308
Hours of Operation:
Sunday-Thursday 10:00am-11:30pm
Friday-Saturday 10:00am-12:30am

I dont recall anyone saying Miami is a 24/7 365 party. I do know for a fact that the clubs do not close at 2:30am. You said previously that you do not find people walking around outside all night. I said you can find that on memorial day weekend. Other than that, you will not find a bunch of people just wondering around outside at night. Most people will be inside of a club.

I'm just not sure how you can guarantee that all clubs in Miami dont close at 2:30am. They can close whenever they want to before a set time pretty much and the one that I was at did. Like I said previously, I never said they all closed at 2:30am, hence I went to another but for you to say it like you've been to every club in town and are certain that none would ever close at 2:30am is just unbelievable.

From my experience I do recall many people by word of mouth or media saying how Miami was the top 3 if not the top for nightlife and it was constant throughout on at least the weekends. It didn't meet that hype though, and I don't see anything wrong with people "wandering" the streets or at least an outdoor party to have a good time, especially in a place with weather like Miami. It certainly didn't stop them in Las Vegas which had much cooler weather.

Yes and the Metro beats Marta hands down.

I didnt say that, I said clubs on South Beach do not close at 2:30am. Most if not all close around 4 or 5am. From the time lived down there and from spring break trips in college, I actually have been to a large amount of those clubs. BTW, I almost forgot, if you like techno music, there is actually a club down there that stay open till around 2 or 3pm the next day.
About Us • Club Space Downtown Miami

You mentioned an outdoor party check out "Nikki Beach" next time. Before 11pm it is a restaurant after 11pm it is a night club and you may find rooftop parties at the hotels. It is impossible to please everybody. Somebody will always like something different. Like I said, there are things to do in Atlanta, Miami and NYC after midnight. It depends on what you are trying to do.
