Miami's Dolphin Mall is being transformed into a massive new entertainment complex that combines a popular national hotspot with a hometown Cuban vibe.
Show live. Hospitality & Entertainment and Taubman Reality Group come to life. Dolphin Mall, a 62,000-square-foot dining and entertainment space, will open this summer at Sweetwater Mall, which already has a movie theater and bowling alley.
The new locations include a vacant building and are located near the mall entrance and the ubiquitous Cheesecake Factory parking lot. Don't worry: This happy dessert giant isn't going anywhere. Cheesecake is safe even if you don't have good eating habits.
The huge Sports & Social, a sports, dining, drinking and sports venue with three bars, as well as live music and entertainment, is on the way. There are arcade games, foosball tables and a 50-foot LED screen that can simulate games and matches, along with live fan cameras, matches and game day sound and lighting effects.
In this setting, imagine the Heat's Jimmy Butler giving up 56 points to an opponent and every time he scores, the buzzer goes off. Almost as good as the arena.
You don't have to have wings for dinner (although you're allowed to have wings, because there's nothing wrong with them). The menu was created by James Beard-nominated chef John Sul, who oversees the lunch, dinner and breakfast options. Think crispy shrimp on kataifi, cacio e pepe arancini, truffle mushroom flatbread and beef barbacoa tacos. There's also a Nashville hot chicken sandwich.
Adjacent to the great sports bar concept is the PBR Cowboy Bar, which may be unfamiliar to beautiful Sweetwater. That "PBR" represented a partnership with the Professional Bull Riders, the world's premier bull riding organization, an organization that no one in Miami knew existed until then.
In Miami, it's hard to find bars fueled by cowboy and country music, but Judy Moore, senior vice president of Live. Hospitality, that is, makes the stay perfect.
“Miami has amazing hospitality and a lot of great nightclubs and fun places,” he said. “But there is no real cowboy bar. We bring you the ultimate cowboy bar experience.”
Yes, sometimes that means big country entertainment. of the 10 other PBR cowboy bars in the country have hosted the likes of Luke Bryan and Old Dominion. Entertainment ranges from a mechanical bull run to VIP bottle service with two separate bars serving drinks.
PBR at Cowboy Bar and Sports & Social Open in Vivo. Plaza – gathering place for events, festivals and viewing parties, lawn games with picnic tables and seating. Drinks are served at the Blue Moon Garden Bar and Miller Lite Bar, featuring local hero Sergio's Cuban-American cuisine, featuring Miami favorites like coquettes and fried cheese. Moore said the square will also have a rotating line of food trucks.
Moore is most excited about the import from Maryland. Crush Bar serves the state's signature drink, fresh juice and your choice of alcohol over crushed ice. This will be important in hot weather, which it always is.
Moore said he was alive. It hopes to attract tourists who love Dolphin Mall and local residents.
"There's a lot to do in Miami, but this is an opportunity for people who live here to not have to drive all the way to great food, drink and entertainment," he said. “I hope the locals will come to the happy hour. it's a great place to hang out after work. There is something for everyone in this entertainment district.”
