The Miami Beach City Commission has unanimously approved a temporary deregulatory ordinance designed to make it easier for qualifying indoor live entertainment venues and restaurants to open in key commercial corridors, including Lincoln Road and Washington Avenue. This effort removes the conditional use permit requirement and raises the occupancy threshold for indoor venues from 200 to 750 people, a move that would help bring live music venues back to Miami Beach.
The move arrives as new venues open across Miami, from Midline and Throw Social in Wynwood to the JAM Arena at Casino Miami. Bar Black has also made a comeback with a pop-up at the former Gramps space, while listening rooms continue to pop up citywide.
