Miami Vibes is the coolest bar pop-up at 2312 Mount Vernon Ave.

Enjoy the South Florida scene!

Alexandria, VA  —  Move over Crockett and Tubbs, there’s a new hang in town. Break out your pastel Italian cut sports jackets, white linen pants, and t-shirt. The latest popup by our favorite Homegrown Restaurant Group reaches back to the ‘80s to bring us the laid-back South Florida scene where vice cops captured the bad guys.  Featuring a Miami Vice theme, Miami Vibes is the latest bar pop-up at 2312 Mount Vernon Ave.

The pink and turquoise walls are a reminder of the 80’s Miami scene with music, neon, and palm trees. The bar menu includes hot Southern flavors like the Papa Doble Daquiri made with Don Q white rum, maraschino liqueur, grapefruit, lime, and simple syrup. A big plus is the watermelon frosé on these hot nights. It’s a refreshing combination of rosé, blended watermelon, strawberry, and lemon. The Nibbles include those delicious coconut shrimp tossed in a sweet Thai sauce. Or, try the Havana pineapple wings, smoked, and tossed in a spicy pineapple glaze.

Summer Alexandria Restaurant Week is Set for August 18-27
