Pop Bros
Disney’s favorite siblings Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas come to the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. Their PG-rated lyrics, sophisticated melodies and wholesome family-friendly image make them an appealing act for the entire family. Get tickets at Ticketmaster.com.
Canine Cocktails
Grab your canine and head over to Ibis Lounge at Key Colony Plaza for some doggie-themed cocktails this summer. The venue will feature Happy Hour drink specials on Mondays from 4 p.m.-8 p.m. throughout the season. Just make sure Fido’s on a leash to avoid “bark” fights at the bar. Stop by at 200 Crandon Blvd., #101, and tell them we sent you. Oh, and try to avoid a WUI (Walking Under the Influence) on your way home. Your pooch won’t be too happy spending the night in the pound!
