Gryphon is Hard Rock's quintessential party playground. Host to some big names in electronica, the indoor club area features a sunken dance floor and a backdrop that's lit by a shifting color scheme and the glow of curved, soft lasers. Long, red couches line the perimeter of the dance floor, while more seating dots the rest of the decidedly modern space above. Patrons dance or order drinks from two bars, mingling under delicate icicle-like fixtures that shimmer with the mind-altering back lighting. Even the bathrooms continue the ultramodern motif with tiled sea-green walls and silver, contemporary-looking, disc-shaped light fixtures. Between the cover and the drinks, a night at Gryphon will cost you. Try the VIP area for the ultimate in indulgence outside of South Beach.
