Club Cinema

Our inaccessible geography aside, one major reason bands have forsaken us is our preponderance of pathetic venues with nasty bathrooms, bad sound, no parking, and just a general all-around malaise. Part of the problem is that few live music venues were designed as such – believe it or not, we’ve had everything from Cuban restaurants […]

Club Madonna

The only strip club on South Beach features all-nude shows, friction dancing, and private VIP and champagne rooms. But it doesn’t serve hard liquor. Tourists and locals still love the place, which is open till 6 in the morning and features a weekly amateur night with a $1,000 prize.

Club Space

Back in 2013, Club Space founder Louis Puig sold his stake in the crown jewel of Miami’s nightlife scene after 13 years of pushing the dance music mecca into the hearts and minds of booty-shaking people worldwide. Now that new ownership has taken over Space, the best thing they’ve done so far is leave well […]

Club Tipico Dominicano

The line forms outside on an industrial stretch of 36th Street in Allapattah and money is collected in a cramped anteroom. But this club is homey and welcoming. A central, elevated dance floor has to be seen to be believed, and the well-lit space offers food, drinks, and plenty of tables. Weekly live radio broadcasts […]

Colony Theatre

Located in the heart of South Beach, Lincoln Road, the Colony Theater has remained one of South Florida’s most popular entertainment venues since 1935. The Deco-Style Colony Theater hosts entertainment programs worth your time, including music, dance, opera, comedy, and film. As a completely refurbished venue, the Colony Theater now encompasses 430 seats with a […]

Copper 29

This speakeasy-inspired bar in Coral Gables looks to classic New Orleans watering holes for inspiration. When you walk through the nondescript door, you’ll find a lounge area with red leather couches. The space opens to the main room, resplendent with a mahogany bar lined with leather-upholstered stools. Chandeliers and vintage lamps light the space, but […]

The Corner

If you “know what it means to miss New Orleans,” the Corner is the Miami bar for you. Nestled in the downtown nightclub district, this little speakeasy boasts a bar constructed from 150-year-old repurposed wood and a vibe that’s more reminiscent of the Big Easy than the neon lights of the Magic City. Maybe that’s […]

Coyo Taco

On weekends, lines can be long at this Wynwood taco joint. Helmed by executive chef Scott Linquist, the restaurant serves tacos made with humanely raised meats and locally sourced vegetables and seafood. A tortillera works on the line at all times, making as many as 1,000 tortillas a day to order. If you’re looking for […]

Cubaocho Museum & Performing Arts Center

This art gallery, research center, and library knows how to party. The regular live entertainment offerings, like typical Havana-style Charanga dances, hearken back to Habana vieja. The interior is full of museum quality work and artifacts that will inspire your mind as music inspires your body. Weekly live music events encourage repeat vists, and the […]
