The Round Up Has Great Concerts For Cheap!

Gloriana

Okay, so you don’t really think of country music when you think of Miami.  We are more well known for the house and trans music played by DJs at our great clubs or at Ultra and the Winter Music Festival.  However, if you are a country music fan or just want to try a different scene, head to the Round Up Country and Western Bar in Davie.  They have a large dance floor and their stage gets the live performers literally in with the crowd.
