Remember going out in Miami before the rise of rideshare apps? Scary times, indeed. These days, we can all breathe a little easier knowing the roads are less littered with intoxicated drivers. But make no mistake: we’re still partying just as hard—and late—as ever in Miami.
In fact, a new study from Lyft and DoorDash has just confirmed that Miami parties later than any other city in the U.S. Over 25% of Lyft rides to and from Miami nightlife venues happened between the hours of 3am and 5am in the last year. Of course, Club Space reigned as Miami’s top late-night Lyft pick-up and drop-off spot.
That’s not the only fun data reported by the study. Miami also took first place as the “best city for late-night glam.” Between 9pm and 5am, nearly 8% of rides taken to Miami nightlife destinations were in higher-end Lux Lyft vehicles. In particular, one out of every seven Lyft rides to E11EVEN was a Lux ride.
When it comes to deliveries, would you guess two of Miami’s top late-night DoorDash orders were for vodka and white nail polish? (We would, lol). Honestly, with a last call of 5am at most party spots, Miami is practically built for benders. Forget the U.S.—we’d pit Miami’s penchant for late-night partying against most European cities, too.
All that said, we’re heading into another freaky Halloween weekend in Miami. If you are planning to attend a Halloween party (perhaps a late-night rave festival or a massive block party in Wynwood), be sure to figure out your rides in advance—and maybe bring your sunglasses just in case.
