Saturday, July 4, 12pm-7pm - Thompson Hotel, 4041 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach
One of Miami Beach’s favorite hangouts, Thompson Miami Beach, is celebrating the Fourth of July with a poolside Dirty BBQ. The cookout will be all-American with a Thompson twist, featuring messy favorites from Dale Talde’s Asian-American TALDE restaurant (opening late summer at Thompson), like the famous Kung Pao Chicken Wings with buttermilk ranch (5 for $8 or 10 for $10) and Korean Fried Chicken as a plate (1 pc, $10) or bucket ($25). Signature July 4th BBQ staples like hot dogs and burgers will also be grilled up poolside, with a lengthy list of toppings for guests to make their wieners and burgers as traditional or “dirty” as they like. Side dishes will include a hearty potato salad, grilled corn, baked beans and coleslaw. Guests can wash it all down with $5 beers; $25 buckets of beer; and $7 drink specials including Kelvin slushies — and take a dip in one of the hotel’s two oceanfront heated pools, while enjoying sounds from a live local DJ. Cabana and bungalow rentals are available; please call 786-605-4041 and ask for the Director of Fun. Admission is free. #4thOfJuly #FourthofJuly @ThompsonMiami
