Bodegon de Brickell Opening This Friday
The buzz in Brickell continues with the opening of Bodegon, located in the Four Ambassadors Hotel. Bodegon is the Spanish term for "tavern" and the venue hopes to combine its tapas-style cuisine with live entertainment.

Gerry Kelly's Annual Studio 54 Party at Lux This Saturday
Sir Gerry Kelly is the master of nightlife musical chairs. Before it got shut down by Gulfstream Management, Kelly was the head honcho of mega club MI-VI. And so, he's now caught up in a major legal battle. But the show must go on, and what better way to do so than exploring the blow-heavy disco era at Lux. Take it as a Halloween warm up.
Coco De Ville Closing for Renovations
This little lounge who won New Times' 2010 "Best VIP Room" is taking a quick hiatus to add some new touches and patch up some old. The new look will feature murals and photography from local artists, as well as an update on lighting and flooring. A representative from Coco's marketing department stated that the changes were going for an overall "warmer and homier" ambiance. No exact word when Coco will reopen, but expect a new lineup of weekly events, including Thursdays to Saturdays and Mondays. (C'est la vie, Favela Chic lovers.)
Louis's New Monday Night Party, "Fortress"
Monday nights have a new home thanks to Headliner Market Group, which debuted its new Fortress party this past Monday. The group is also responsible for Imagine Sunday Nights at LIV and Headliner Friday Nights at Play. This is Louis' first real attempt at a hip-hop driven night, so we're curious to see how Miami responds. Expect music by Headliner's Stevie J and potential celebrity appearances.
