Miami Design District Happy Hour Network at Sofia (Thursday)

Join us for a stylish evening of happy hour networking and martinis at Sofia, the Italian gem in the heart of the Miami Design District. This isn’t your typical business mixer — it’s where Miami’s creatives, entrepreneurs, and locals meet under soft lights, lush greenery, and a backdrop of European elegance.

Whether you’re building your network, meeting new collaborators, or just looking to unwind with like-minded locals, we meet during Tini Thursdays at Sofia as your preference to mix business with pleasure.

• Curated networking with Miami’s professionals, artists, and entrepreneurs
• Chic indoor and outdoor ambiance — think candlelit tables, velvet booths, and palm-framed views outside in the bar lounge area.
• Martini specials all night (Grey Goose and Bombay-based classics, espresso martinis, and playful seasonal twists).

Sofia Italian Restaurant
140 NE 39th St, Suite 133
Miami Design District, FL

Thursdays | 6–8 PM

Look for the group gathered by the bar — just ask for Manny, the guy with the mustache and the mullet, and I’ll introduce you around. Come solo or bring a friend — we’ll make sure you leave with new connections.

Think Dolce & Gabbana meets Miami cool — relaxed yet refined. Start your evening with a martini and end it with a few new names in your phone or socials. No name tags, no awkward intros — just genuine casual conversations in a beautiful setting.

Free to attend, but space is limited.
Reserve your spot now, let us know you're coming — and come experience a new kind of Thursday night in the Design District.

You can also purchase the $25 option and get a couple of Manny's drink tickets.
