Come for the downward dog, stay for the draft beer.<\/p>\n

Some of South Florida\u2019s bars, restaurants and even a groovy nightclub are putting wellness on the menu \u2014 hosting fitness meetups that pair a workout with a well-earned drink or bite to eat afterward.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a win-win for members of the health-minded crowd who aren\u2019t willing to trade their bar tabs for gym memberships.<\/p>\n

Gather at local breweries for a group run before circling back to quench your thirst. Recharge doing pilates on a rooftop with ocean views and refreshing mimosas. Or join a barre workout at a disco bar while raising funds for a community initiative.<\/p>\n
