We found the happy hours in Coconut Grove. Then we found more across the Rickenbacker
Ariete
Ariete’s frita is pretty legit. If you, like all Miami locals, love Cuban-American cuisine, Ariete is probably already one of your go-to’s. But did you know that you could enjoy some of their best-selling dishes at a discount every day from 4-7 p.m.? Bone marrow butter grilled oysters for $1 each? Check. Chef Michael Beltran’s famous Chug Burger for $7? Check. Ariete’s legendary frita for $3.50? Check. Drinks are also discounted — you can enjoy wines by the glass for $6, beer for $5 and select signature cocktails for $7.
