Looking for live music? These spots have free shows
Enjoy live music? Lucky for you, we rounded up a list of venues that offer live music in a not-so-formal concert setting — for free.
We're talking about a live jazz trio, maybe a solo guitarist; ideally, this is an unplanned activity that just made your night a whole lot better.
Between the lines: I've frequented these events, but it's always good to check the venue's social media or website to confirm that evening's lineup before heading out.
Cafe La Trova
It's one of the best bars in the country for a reason. Enjoy live music "La Trova Style" at this Calle Ocho staple every night of the week.
Conventillo
Little River's newest cocktail bar features a weekly lineup of events: Live Tango on Tuesdays.
The Corner Bar
For all the night owls: Live jazz starts at 10pm-1am on the second and fourth Tuesday of the month.
The Esme Hotel
If you're on South Beach, hit this hotel rooftop for live jazz every Sunday from 5pm-11pm.
The Gibson Room
The Coral Way staple features live music from local artists Thursday-Sunday beginning at 9pm.
Jass Kitchen
This Turkish restaurant just outside the Design District has live music every night of the week except Monday. Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday: 7pm-10pm. Thursday-Saturday: 8pm-11pm.
Michael's Genuine Food & Drink
I'll admit, I've yet to enjoy live music here. But guests can enjoy jazz every Wednesday from 6:30pm-9:30pm.
