What is the best way for 5 guys to barhop in South Beach?

Don't make reservations, just go. South Beach is crazy every night for partying but Saturday is prob the best. Most bars serve alcohol until around 5am. Some clubs are hard to get into because they are around $30 at the door AND you have to look a certain way to get in ( be hot enough ) very shallow but that is how it is here. Most clubs will let you in with a collared shirt and dark blue jeans and shoes. Most just don't allow flip flops, sandals, sneakers, hats, t-shirts, lounge/workout looking clothes and blue jeans. There are about 100 bars/clubs in South Beach, if one club says no to you at the door, simply walk to the next bar/club 2 doors down. The lines are not bad if there ever is a line. The bars on Ocean drive are "on the beach " Its not like right in the sand but across the street from it. ALWAYS make sure you find out how much the items on the menu are and how much drinks are before you order ( unless you are rich ) I've seen drink prices as high as $50 for ONE drink. Go to Mapquest.com and type in zipcode 33139 (that is south beach) , zoom in. it is only about 22 blocks up and down and 10 blocks wide. All the best party action is on the east side of the island by the ocean. You want to check out Lincoln Road ( it runs east to west) and the best spot for bars is Ocean Drive & Washington Ave. It runs up and down along the east side. As far as Ocean Drive & Washington Ave, the best spots for bars is the area between Espanola Way and 5th Street. So print that map you just looked at and circle where I just said to circle and you will be fine. The " trendiest / hottest " clubs here are Mansion, Clevelander, Nikki Beach, Plunge, Louis, Coco Deville, Mynt and Rokbar. Mansion, Clevelander and Nikki Beach will be the easiest to get into. The other ones are kinda super model only. I personally just like regular laid back bars that are fun and my favorites for those are Wet Willies ( go upstairs for best selection ) and Mangos (both on Ocean Drive) I also like Deuce which is a total crap, hole in the wall dive bar. The locals love it, one episode of Miami Vice was filmed there so its kinda legendary. Also keep in mind some bars have a 5 drink minimum or $100 minimum on credit cards and some bars like deuce and wet willies take cash only so have cash on you. Women always act like such crazy drunk ladies during a bachelor party outing with a veil on and eveything so why not do the same. Wear a shirt that says " groom to be " on it and have all your friends wear shirts that say " bachelor party victim " or something, show everyone u are a crew looking to party your asses off ( just an idea) I also suggest a hotel called Clay Hotel, great location, decent and the price isn't horrible. Google it. Have fun.
