Lux
1439 Washington Ave., South Beach
The 400 Club has been busy tweeting about this new nightclub in the former Snatch space. The grand opening on June 18 featured dancing goddess Ciara and hip-hop hostess Lala Vasquez. Tonight, The Dream will host his official album release party and Keri Hilson will pay visit next Friday. It looks like The 400 Club is trying to go head to head with Headliner Market Group after Club Play swapped promoters.

Blush
66 SW 6th St., Brickell
brickellblush.com
This new

cabaret-style club is located right around the corner from Tobacco Road

and officially opened June 25. The grand opening and launch of their

Friday night party, D'Moda,

is set for July 9. This space used to be home to Bricks

Nighclub before it hit...well, hit the bricks. Let's hope this

awkward location doesn't have the exotic dancers eating dust because Brickell is in need of some sort of nightlife.

Alba Lounge at Sole on the Ocean
17315 Collins Ave., Sunny Isles
soleontheocean.com
Sunny

Isles doesn't exactly seem like the ideal place for a lounge, but after

Kitchen

305's success, other hotels in the area seem to be taking note. Sole on the Ocean opened the Alba

Lounge on June 11 with the same promoters (Text to Party) that made K305

noteworthy. Alba hosts weekly networking events every Thursday and

promises to be a safe haven from the Miami Beach ruckus. Head over to

their

July 4 pool party to check out the new space.
