Prime Time
A Beer Hall Near a Casino

Now that it's officially summer, you need a cold beer more than ever.

And if it comes outside, with pork tacos, next to a flat-screen (and a casino), all the better...

Say hello to Primebar, a thirst-quenching indoor/outdoor tavern with plenty of sudsy brews, now open at Gulfstream Park.

Walking up to this handsome pub, the first thing you'll notice is the collection of shiny taps gleaming from behind a massive square bar in the outdoor courtyard. In all, there are 40 beers on tap—everything from regional favorites like Louisiana's Abita Purple Haze to rare microbrews like Fort Lauderdale's own Thunderhead Red.

You'll want to take a seat near one of the six giant flat-screens flanking the bar—or head inside, where there is yet another spacious wooden bar. This one's near the dining room, where they'll be serving you upscale bar grub like Kurobuta Pork Belly Sliders and Tequila Shrimp Skewers. (They've also got basics like pork tacos and cheeseburgers.)

And be sure to stop by during happy hour (4 to 7pm, seven days a week), when their draft beers are $3 and appetizers are $5.

This way you can keep most of your blackjack winnings.
