    Thanks to Yelp!!! I was able to win tickets to see the chew on this podcast series during SOBEWFF. I didn't even know the Miami Beach Bandshell was so close to my home. My niece was able to join and enjoy the experience together. We had a great time together. There was some giveaways as we entered the event and they had some amazing food and the vendors were so nice. All the food was delicious and some stand outs were the grilled sourdough with blue cheese cream cheese and bacon from Ms. Cheesevious and Mini crepes from the crepe maker. They also had plenty to drink such water, zero sugar sodas, vodka seltzer, gin and juice, margaritas plus Rosé. There was plenty of seating and the bandshell is covered so that helps with being outdoors. They also had fans surrounding the area to help to keep everyone cool. There was five podcasts shows and each had it own topics that the crowd participated with the hosts. The event was good and I'm sure it will get even better with time. Definitely enjoyed it!!!

    Located next to the Northshore Community Center on Collins Ave is the historic Miami Beach Bandshell, an open air amphitheater right on the ocean. The bandshell was designed in 1961 by architect Norman Giller, a leading figure in the MiMo architectural style. MiMo, is a type of mid century modernism architecture was a style that developed after WWII from the 1940's to the 1960's. Its hallmark is modern simplicity of form influenced by South Florida. In 2022 the Miami Bandshell was added to the National Register of Historic Places. During the 1960's and 70's, the bandshell was used for senior weekly ballroom dance nights and special winter editions of Mike Douglas's televised talk show. In the 1980's and 1990's various promoters rented the bandshell. During this time roller skating and movie nights became popular. In 2009 the Miami bandshell was renovated with a customized sound system by the City of Miami Beach's Planning and Parks Departments in partnership with the Mayor's North Beach Blue Ribbon Panel. A professional management company, the Rhythm Foundation was hired and has been operating the bandshell since 2015. In 2017, the City of Miami Beach named the stage in honor of Clark Douglas Burris. Mr. Burris, was a beloved music teacher at Miami Beach High for more than 35 years. In 1972 he founded the Miami Beach Rock Ensemble, the first-ever high school rock band. The Miami Beach Rock Ensemble continues to hold an annual tribute at the Bandshell each winter. In 2019 a unique architectural addition was installed. A canopy that was designed by Ira Giller, original architect Norman Giller's son was added to the bandshell to maintain an outdoor feel while protecting visitors from inclement weather. Upcoming events at the bandshell include concerts that are ticketed but there are free ones too. Check out https://miamibeachbandshell.com/events/ for more information. The bandshell is known for its lineup of local and international musicians. Other events include the GroundUp Music Festival and the North Beach Social every third Thursday of the month. For generations the Miami Beach bandshell has been a community gathering place for cultural events and live entertainment. Whether you're a Miami local or just visiting, it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a memorable cultural outing.

    We went to see Los Hermanos Gutierrez and the venue was great! It's an open air space with some covering and scattered seating but overall the space was nice. Luckily, it didn't rain and it was a cooler night. Truthfully, the concert was our main concern and los hermanos did not disappoint. They were AMAZING!! Given their type of music, a closed door venue, smaller space might have suited them better. But the space itself was nice with clean bathrooms and lots of open space.

    Went to the bandshell back in April - May for the Catriel y Paco Amoroso concert and it was ELECTRIC. The moment the music started, I was totally hypnotized. The sound, the vibe, the energy... everything just pulled me in. Even though the place was packed, it somehow felt super intimate. Had the best time with a few of my friends. Such a perfect spot to catch your favorite artists and just get lost in the music. Haven't been back since, but hope to be back soon!

    Venue has decent space & plenty of seating

    Came here recently for a Steel Pulse concert & had the most amazing time. Entry was smooth, venue nice, plenty of seating, & amenities. The surrounding area has nice views, restaurants, & things to do. Everyone I met here was so nice, & upset that we all just found out about this place in 2024

    I attended the Jon Secada concert here just last night. I paid approximately $330 for two tickets to sit upfront. The venue was nice, we had never been there before and the staff were also nice. The problem came when we were taken to our seats by the usher. There were people sitting in our seats. The usher didn't want to tell them to move and made us sit in other seats (slightly better ones) which then worried me because I stayed wondering if the people who bought those seats would show up. I also saw other people being moved out of seats that weren't theirs and wondered how many other people were seat jumping. If you're going to charge money for seats, you need to make sure people are sitting where they are supposed to sit. It's non negotiable. I won't be coming back to this venue.

    I finally made to a concert here and I absolutely loved it! It really is an experience like no other and I am excited for any future concerts I attend. The staff were all super nice and I loved the venue. The acoustics were great! You have a couple of food and drink options, all reasonably priced. I wish there were more bathrooms on the premises as it can get a bit crazy with loads of people but nonetheless a lovely place! I love that it's right next to the beach so even on a hot evening you get a nice breeze. Do yourself a favor and come check out a show or event here!

    I went there to see one of my absolute favorite artists Tove Lo. The place was impeccable from the outside to the inside. The closeness to the artist. The atmosphere, how everyone treats you, the drinks and food (they had deals!) My favorite thing about the show was how everyone just felt comfortable and close to Tove Lo. The place allowed smoking inside since it's open, so they allowed your (legal) weed to come in and you could just light it up during the show! Everyone was friendly and brought a little piece with them, so nobody cared for the smell. She's such a great artist and Bandshell only made it more special.

    Do you remember what a bandshell is? Well Miami Beach of course decided to make theirs an upscale one where you do not need to bring a chair, drinks, or anything for that matter, because they will provide it, as it stated in the venue website . Sounded good to me but The reality : - No chair or bench where to sit , and on the top of that the concert started 1 hour late, so by the time it started we were already tired. - the line for the drinks was about 25 minutes. - a mojito cost $20 + tip (at a concert with 30 dollar tickets), but the best part was that I did not drink it because it was just a super sweet limonada. It should be a great venue for small format concert but definitely they have to redefine his concept . The sound was just ok. I would give 2 stars but Cimafunk really put on a magnificent concert so I am feeling generous.

    Awesome concert venue. Very intimate. Would definitely be a great place to hold a medium sized wedding or gathering. Such beautiful scenery around the Miami beach area.

    I seem to remember the North Beach Bandshell being showcased in Ja Rule's "Always on Time", from the scene where Ja is throwing a concert there..but anywho. I tend to frequent this part of Miami Beach more often, with the Full Moon party and my favorite Mexican restaurant, thus I was at the actual Bandshell most recently for the Summer Solstice festival. Instead of druidy stuff, I was among a handful of partiers jamming out to DJ Worakls, an up and coming French EDM DJ. Open air acoustics were pretty good and I definitely jammed out. I mentioned to the promoters that a show the actual moon night would be that much cooler. Four years back, I also attended a World Cup watch party here where the game was shown on a projection screen. The stage has classic mimo architecture, and there are both benches as well as an open floor area for dancing. The public bathrooms are functionally clean. While they don't have a restaurant on premise, there are plenty of eateries (as noted) in walking distance and occasionally food trucks as well. There's a city parking lot about a block away.

It is one of a handful of homes in South Florida on the register of historic places. The Villa Paula has miraculously survived the trauma of the devastating hurricane of 1926 and attempts to tear it down.  Now Lovingly restored, it is a place for discovering art treasures -- ranging from Renoir and Picasso to Wilfredo Lam and Miami's homegrown genius, the late Pervis Young. The original bucolic environment of the villa grounds is preserved in the garden with its cascades of bougainvillea and its graceful pergola, perfect for enjoying food, wine, and music. This villa is now up for sale.

Some people believe it is haunted by the ghost of Paula who was the wife of Cuban Consul Domingo Millord and for whom the house was named. Supposedly she died in 1932 after having one leg amputated. There are stories all over the internet claiming that this is the most haunted house in Miami. If you love the idea of owning a haunted house then you are in luck because Villa Paula is for sale for $4.5 million dollars. If you saw the neighborhood in Little Haiti you might be a little skeptical as to the price tag of this property. The house last sold in 2016 for a mere $500,000. It was used as an art gallery managed by Martin Siskind. The house is jointly owned by Martin and his brother Richard. Martin wanted to sell but Richard didn't. The dispute between the brothers has finally been settled and the mansion along with four other properties is now on the market. They are justifying the large price by saying that this is an up and coming neighborhood like Wynwood. The house is a designated historic site so it cannot be changed. It will be interesting to see what is eventually done with it. I am hoping for a museum or something in that vein that honors the history of this property.
