The first month of the New Year saw the return of a beloved Fort Lauderdale restaurant, a retro martini lounge, and a distillery producing tropical liqueurs.

Runway 84 reopened with an Italian supper club vibe, and the National Hotel opened its retro Martini Bar. In addition, Tropical Distillers opened in Allapattah. The distillery makes liqueurs and spirits with local, tropical flavors.

Ch’i, the Brickell restaurant and club, closed.

In the coming months, Miamians can look forward to the openings of Pastis and Massimo Bottura’s Torno Subito.
