I've been to the Moore building various times over the last 15 years, but it is completely different now than it used to be. It has a few restaurants inside and roof top bar as well as a hotel and various different rooms to hang out in. There is art that rotates through every so often. Super cool place to venture in to for a drink, snack or event. read more

The Moore Building - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Miami, Florida

The Moore Building is absolutely gorgous! It's located in the heart of Design District but you can easily walk right by it -- don't let that fool you though, once you enter you'll be amazed by the stunning architectural design the space has inside. I came here for an event recently and loved their bar area. Great spot to meet with friends and grab a drink after work. They host really cool and curated events here. I recently went to their backgammon social event and loved the vibes, the people and the space. read more

I went to the Moore building last night for an event and I was shocked to see how much this building has changed. I used to visit years ago when they would convert it into an artisan market and have also gone for private events. Well now the building is still beautiful inside with the four story white unique architecture however, they are using the space well now. They have a restaurant, bars and event space now and they decorated it even more beautiful. I also noticed they had a karaoke room and last night they were having a Baggammon game night that I heard gets pretty competitive. Overall, I would check out this place and if you get invited here or have an event, go because this building is special. read more

As a fan of history and architecture I have a fondness for the Moore Building located in the Design District. The Design District was once a pineapple farm in Buena Vista. Pineapple farm owner, Theodore Vincent Moor built the four story Moore Building in 1922 during Florida's land boom years for his family furniture business. Moore was known as the Pineapple King of Florida. The Moore Building was a furniture factory and showroom and it was one of the first stores in the U.S. dedicated strictly to furniture. The Moore Building was designed in a masonry vernacular style by David Paul Davis, a well known Tampa architect and developer during the 1920's. Davis also designed the Buena Vista Post Office. The Moore building forms an L shape around the post office. In 1926 Davis mysteriously died aboard the steamship Majestic when he went overboard on the way to Europe. His death remains clouded in mystery and to this day it no one is sure if it was an accident, murder, or suicide. One of the most notable features of the Moore Building is the four story atrium located at the south entrance of the building. The atrium has a mezzanine with art deco railings on the second, third, and fourth level. Inside the atrium is the permanent art installation Elastika by architect Zaha Hadid. Elastika features web shaped forms stretching across the atrium to the balconies. From 1997 to 1999 the Moore Building underwent a major restoration to restore its original architectural features. Today it is an event space that can be rented. A lot of Art Basel events are held here. The rest of the building houses interior design and furniture showrooms. In 2019 City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado, The City of Miami in Coordination with Alexander Adams and the Florida Department of State installed Marker Number F-1061infront of the Moore Building and Buena Vista Post Office. The marker details the history of the two buildings. read more

I went yesterday fan art event. Typically Art Basel would be this weekend but due to covid this year was a bit different. We were able to buy tickets in advance through eventbrite and had to choose an hour block schedule. It was pretty nice. I loved the 1 hour block because it wasn't so crowded as you know it usually is. You had more time to enjoy the art. The items and art was great. Staff was making sure the covid safety protocol was being upkept. I took a few pics to show you all. Complimentary drink once done with the 4 floors of art viewing. Covid details- We were offered courtesy Adidas mask which I thought were great as well. Time slots were avaliable in a 1 hr block to choose. We chose 4 -5 pm. Roof top access but with limited seating and spaced out for saftey features. Sanitizing stations on each floor upon entering through the stairwell read more

Located in the Miami Design District, The Moore Building is a bit difficult to find. Fortunately for Elian D. and me, there were plenty of people and signs as to how to get to our intended destination: the Market for Makers. Turns out I won tickets on Yelp for that, so thanks bunches. That being said, apparently this is the second year that this holiday market is a thing. That and it seems to be a market many cities have picked up on as the website mentioned many locations for it. The Miami location for it was at The Moore Building and hence now this review. The building itself is vast and they utilized four floors for the market, with each floor slowly and surely dazzling you with a variety of trinkets available. Photo opportunities galore, free drinks and flower crowns, and did I mention the food samples? There truly was something there for everyone. More surprising still though is how this was billed. You needed tickets to go into a market where the full intention was to buy things. A bit baffling really, but it was fun nevertheless. read more

I came here for a wine tasting event. The beautiful venue is really impressive. I don't know who thought of putting some weird sculpture in the center but it sure transforms the whole place. The layout works for having tables/exhibits on the different levels for visitors to explore, and a centralized location on the ground floor. The staircase is not the easiest to navigate though, especially at a wine event, I am thankful I managed to go up and down without mishap. For parking, believe it or not, it's cheaper to park in the garage than on the street. I parked at Paradise Plaza, an easy two blocks away, which charges only $3 for the first four hours. $3 total, not per hour. read more

This has been on my "do see" list being an art and historian buff. Boy did it not disappoint. I actually walked right inside, and saw no one. open to the public, so I had the place all to myself (thanks to covid). I believe in better times this is usually rented out for art, markets and so forth, so to see it empty and in all its architectural regal glory, I felt very privileged. Here is as much information as you need - ADDRESS 191 NE 40th St. Miami, FL 33137 ZAHA HADID: ELASTIKA is a site-specific installation, which aims to mutate the historical Moore building built in 1921.The existing building has two major implied architectural moves: horizontal circulation on layered mezzanines and four story vertical columns that stretch upwards to embrace the central atrium. Pushing the envelope of current spatial concepts, we have instilled a dynamic tension within this existing Cartesian layout. Oblique 'stretches' span the space like chewing gum, establishing an elastic/plastic connection between different floors, creating new understanding in complex geometry and fluid architectural order. The design and manufacture of the installation has only been made possible through the latest advances in technology. Its form was generated on complex geometry software (using nurb surface modeller). This design was then sculpted by CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling to enable manufacture. read more

This is a beautiful building!! Great decor but misses usable space on the front floors... Look at my pic and you will see that it resembles a little the architecture of Gaudi (keeping distance) in the center... Very nice though. For a wine tasting, very nice, but have to climb stairs and with wine... Well just ok! The other glitch, restrooms only on the first floor... That is a major minus! The venue is at midtown and needs valet! Enjoy your .... read more

I visited the Moore building for the Market for Makers and it was a beautiful event. Tickets would be purchased in advance or at the door.

I know nothing about architecture, but I do know about coolitecture. And, it wasn't just the velvet ropes and super serious bouncers to show that The Moore Building has "it." Yep, it's got dat cool factor (notice the expertly placed "d"). An awesome four story building with an artistic enough middle structure to make you look and think hmmmmmmmm, The Moore Building is a great place to host events for the coolest of cool. In the heart of the design district among Prada, Louis Vuitton, and other European designers of which I can not afford, the location attracts the elite. With its four floors, it is the perfect venue for a tasting event and while the crowds may be thick, you feel like you can actually move around. The layout is not perfect for easy movement, but if it was, it would lose some of that cool design that makes the building unique. One word: Awe-some. read more

If you've ever driven by this building you know it's different. If you've ever walked by and you've seen Domo Japones in one corner and the Garden Lounge on the next corner then you know that this place is cool. Especially on the second Saturday of the month when it's officially gallery night. If you've ever been to a party in this building, you know it's a beautiful, enormous location that holds some of the best events held in this nightlife loving city. If you've ever been to the Moore Space, the gallery located on the 2nd floor then you know that the Moore building houses some of the smartest exhibits in Miami. They say some buildings have personalities, if so then you know this one is a party loving, art star with a thing for sushi. read more

A huge event hall located in the middle of the Design District. With it being located in the Design District. The interior of the location is very beautiful. It has an all white layout which makes the venue seem very spacious. Its a 4 story location that has an open space in the middle. Allowing all other floors to see ever other floors. Also in the middle stretching from the 2nd to 4th floor the have a wonderful abstract construct, that adds some piazzas to the venu. They only drawback is that there is only 1 bathroom in the whole venue. For a spot that can fit up to 2000 people this is a huge problem. read more

I don't think I would have ever heard of this place if not for an event that took place here. It is located in the Miami Design District and it is one of the most unique, charming, and spacious spaces I've ever been to. From the outside, it is the epitome of historic Miami architecture, just gorgeous. When you walk inside, you are taken aback at the unique layout. It has three floors with each floor winding around the building and with an open space up trough the middle of the room that has a cool sculpture going from floor to floor (see pics). This place is perfect for any event, and the best part is that it's so distinctive! read more

If you or your company are looking to stage an event in Miami - the Moore building is definitely a venue that will guarantee a huge bang and a resounding success. The eclectic interior in addition to being a work of art within itself is versatile enough to allow a cohesive atmosphere, excellent and readily available facilities, usable spaces every where and a true Miami landmark, this place is a true gem in the Magic City - Check it out ! For sure there will be something worth writing about happening there ... read more

I must have nodded off through my design classes :) Despite the various events I had been to at the Moore Building - the lovely Yelp Summer Nights and the cool Heineken Inspire - I had been remiss in connecting the lovely patio next to the building. I had enjoyed plenty of free drinks during art walks past there, sitting on the outdoor couches and gazing at the stars through the trellis ceiling.. I just never made the connection! Besides, the beauty of the Moore Building proper - the open central corridor, the wood flooring and the funky shapes of the bracing system and the funky colored bathroom doors - the entry garden has a string-like trellis ceiling, enough trees and cool copper doors that make for good acoustics. The lesson here: keep your eyes open to enjoy all the beauty Miami has to offer! read more

If we have anything called 'historic' here in Miami, this building is part of what our history is. A beautiful building that has a spacious interior where each floor winds around the building with an open space up to the ceiling. There is an amazing sculpture that runs throughout the floors to the top. We went for an event and it was the perfect place to have it. Just be careful if you are drinking with the stairs. I hear they cater to all different types of events. Its definitely a 'different' option to hold a special party. read more

What a cool building! That is really the first thing that comes to mind. Four stories that are versatile enough to host ANY event from art galleries to showcasing the newest from Tigerdirect and Intel (The event I went for). There was a fairly good amount of people and the AC pumped cold enough to keep the place comfortable. The 4th floor housed the speakers which were a little too loud, but I assume that it had to be that loud because it was the only speakers and had to fill the entire building with sound. The crazy disign in the middle is awesome when lit up by the LED lights and every column/wall in the place has moveable LED lights that make the entire place come to life. read more

The Moore Building is one of the major artistic venue in Miami's Design District that gives the entire neighborhood a certain vibe and groove. It is a fun place to be, to gawk at art, spaces, and people's creativity (unless if someone rented most of the space for a huge mammoth New York-style party decorating all space in red, with some geishas in kimonos dancing (with the dressed-up trendy partygoers) to a spiked music being played by a DJ. If this is the case, you're only left outside to admire such weird cultured excess through the building's huge windows that flank its walls. Can we say "Oh... soooo MIAMI!" 'Cuz I did that when I actually saw all this last Saturday. What was I doing here? It was Art + Design Night in the Design District, a time when everyone comes out to look at the numerous art galleries on and near the area along NE 40th St between N Miami Ave and NE 2nd Ave from 6 pm to 10 pm. There were hors d'oeuvres, champagne, mixed drinks and all. The 2nd Saturdays of every month brings the Design District alive at night and it is the place to be to be seen. One of my favorite place to be in the Design District at this time is the Garden Lounge, right next to The Moore Building - it is sleek, modern, and outdoorsy (pray it doesn't rain) that people go there to lounge around and drink mixed drinks that are served from numerous bars in and around the area. It's a good place to be to chill with friends and to listen to music (although it is not the only place to do so in the Design District on the 2nd Saturdays of the month). There was supposed to be free valet parking, but I had arrived a little bit later after the start of the block party, so I had to park on my own. But that wasn't terribly difficult to do especially considering how hard it can be to park at South Beach. So, if you happen to be in town during a 2nd Saturday of the month, I recommend you to pay a visit to the Design District! read more

Absolutely gorgeous space for an event. And since the space can hold up to 2,500 guests...you basically can throw any sort of event here. The 1st floor is open cement flooring with high ceilings and a front and back entrance. Walking up the grand main staircase you'll get to subsequent floors above that look out over the main floor balcony-style. But these aren't normal balconies - the floor space is more than enough to hold sampling tables, dancers, and plenty of mingling guests. A total of four floors with a glass, sky-lit ceiling and a day event is both chic and classic. For evening the lighting is stylish -- you won't find a lick of flourescent glows here. The organic art structures that stretch across the middle area add an air of excitement and beauty to a rather simple canvas. With an elevator, load-in door and prep space in the back, the Moore Building is the perfect venue for a spectacular party! read more

Oh how I love the Moore Building! If I could choose a building in all of Miami to join in wedlock like that weird lady who married the Eiffel Tower, it would be The Moore Building. I've been here for a couple of events including Wine Enthusiast's Toast of Town. I'm in love with it's industrial-looking facade and the cast iron staircase inside. I love that it has multiple personalities and can be the perfect venue for different types of events. From art galleries to fashion events to food and wine tastings, it's a magnificent, multifunctional space. I especially love Zaha Hadid's cool art installation, "Elastica" on the ceiling. If you haven't been here yet, you are truly missing out. read more

Alright, Peeps: Sooo... I came to the Moore Building for the TigerDirect.com and Intel® Present the First Annual Holiday Bash last week and I've gotta lot to say. Some of it's about building, the rest is about the party, so please bare with me... Oh... Tiger Direct/Intel party... You had me @ "hello"! Ok, not exactly, but when I saw this event on Yelp, I was SO PSYCHED to get there. So much so, that I dam near forced my bestie @ gunpoint to go with me. Ok... maybe not LITERAL gunpoint, but I did make a gun with my fingers and point excessively while demanding (begging?) her to be my +1 in my search for fun and adventure! Ok, I'll admit that the technological displays left a bit to be desired and I could have dealt without having to climb 3 flights of stairs in 4" heels (TWICE) to see the majority of them, but I actually had a pretty great time. The Moore Building is a GORGEOUS venue. I'd never been here before, but I'd heard great things about how beautiful the place was. Well, they weren't lying. It's beautiful. PERIOD. And the way the blue/purple/whateva the hell other colors there were (I was buzzin') bounced off the walls and ceilings was awesome! As I strutted my stuff around the place, I begin to feel a change. Was it the heat? Or the free (delicious)drinks? Or the fact that I was sweating out my freshly flat-ironed hair? Hells no! It was the feeling of... dare I say it... BRINGIN SEXY BACK! There were sexy people, particularly sexy men... ok, correction: SOME sexy men. There were also sexy drinks AND there were sexy men!!! Wait... did I mention sexy men already? Ah well.. that's how sexy SOME OF THEM were. Now, back to the building. I hear the Moore Building is historical, which is cool. But I could care less. I'm a true girl's girl, so all I care about is the fact that it was pretty and the architectural structures hanging from the ceiling(???) were cool. Now, that being said... the stairs were kinda rickety, which would have been fine if I hadn't had, like, 3 drinks and really high heels on. I believe there are service elevators, but they were unavailable to the majority of the guests which was FANTASTIC! (Do you detect a note of sarcasm?) Other than that, I have no other complaints. Like I said, 8 millions times in this review already, the Moore Building is a lovely venue. It's very spacious and the possibilities are endless! Skipping a bit backwards, I'd like to re-mention the sexy men. There were some sexified, sexilicious sex goblins out there of all shapes, sizes, and flavors. It's times like those that I really commend myself for moving to Miami. In fact, there was one hottie hot hot that kinda followed me & bestie to every floor with his besties. Unfortunately, I didn't get the number! I think he was waiting for me to ask, but you guys know how shy I am. That being said... To the 6'5" - 7' tall, 35-40 year old Boricua with the charcoal gray suit, dark-rimmed glasses, curly salt-n-pepper hair, smooth skin and gorgeous smile: I would like to know if you'd either like to go out for sushi or marry me, or be my babydaddy? Let me know quickly so I can book the Moore Building for the wedding reception and/or baby shower. After all, that is "our place" now! Smooches Oh Moore Building... YOU, TOO, had me at "hello"! read more

GREAT space for an event!! From the outside on in, this place invokes a good time. Located right in the thick of the Design District, The Moore Building is a wide-open space with four floors of peripheral walking space. You can stand on the top floor and look down into the middle, watching everything going on. What I love most about this building is that it can be PACKED with people and things and no matter what, it still feels so spacious! The air conditioning system must be very advanced because it feels great no matter what corner of the building you land in. The acoustics are awesome too because music can be pumping on the first floor and you can still hold a comfortable conversation, even find a quiet space somewhere up top. It's really a great event space. Perfect for anything - birthday parties, weddings, etc. read more

Love this building and its antiquey charm. How many old school Miami buildings offer four floors of spectacular strolling room? Fit for any event, especially the biggies. The view from the fourth floor looking almost makes you woozy, but the railings will keep you reined in. The one downside to this place is that there are bathrooms only on the first floor, and the stairs are a little on the steep/slippery side. Otherwise, I LOVE this place and look forward to every opportunity I can to attend an event here. Nothing but the best! read more

Went to the Moore Building for the pamper me fabulous event which was not so fabulous. As far as the event is concerned, there were limited vendors there and not much to buy. The gift bags were not what I expected as I watched some YouTube videos of gift bags that were given previous years and was expecting much more. Nice idea but I will probably not go next year. As for the building, it was very large, open, and the architectural design was really pleasing to the eye. The restrooms were also clean. Parking is the only issue as most of the metered parking spaces are taken because there are a few high end stores in the area but if there is an event most likely they will have valet. If there is another event at this location, I will attend. read more

What a beautiful building! I came here for an Intel/TigerDirect event where everything was free (entry, drinks, bites) and I had a really good time. The inside consist of 4 different floors all lit up with different interactive things to do. The DJ in the center with the moving stage that went up and down was awesome! The only thing I can see going wrong was that because of the amount of people the event held, everyone is forced to use the one stair case to go up and down floors. So it got a little crowded and hectic, but it wasn't that much of a big deal. I would definitely come here again for another cool (and free) event. And I would totally love to throw an epic birthday party here. read more

Nice venue for large scale events, like the recent Eats and Beats party, or the Yelp Midsummernight's Dream (what happened to the latter, I miss those parties). Four different floors, cool pink strobe lights, good sound quality from the DJ. There are some major flaws with this venue, however: 1) There should be stairs on both sides of each floor instead of only one. The stairways are narrow and everything gets backed up by people trying to go up or down a floor. The stairs are also poorly lit, which slows traffic even further because people can't see where they're stepping. No one wants to fall down the stairs and make an ass of themselves. 2) There should be a bathroom on each floor. There should also be signs pointing to the bathrooms. Not sexy, I know, but we had to ask a bouncer where the bathrooms are located. We were told the only restrooms are on the bottom floor, so I just sucked it up (see bullet point 1). 3) The air-conditioning is insufficient for the amount of people. Everyone was fanning themselves with everything they could find, from flyers to napkins, because it was so hot in there. 4) No valet parking, also very limited street parking in the area. Those things aside, I suppose it depends on the type of even you attend here. I had a great time at both. read more

first, their statement... THE MOORE SPACE/MISSION STATEMENT The Moore Space is dedicated to presenting international contemporary art forms. It will achieve this through an experimental program of cross-disciplinary exhibitions, performances, artists and curators residencies and public programs which reflect the state of contemporary art today: new forms, new voices and new thought. this is really one of the places pushing the limit in miami. there's always something going on and most of it is really out there! this is not one of those places that pops up when art basel is in town. they're here and they're here to stay. in addition to hosting performances, exhibitions, and installations, the moore building also has an ongoing lecture series. check their schedule to see if something interests you... if not, go during the gallery walk (art + design night). i heart second saturdays read more

Such a beautiful building!!! I've been there twice now for events and each time I'm just awed by the inside of the building. The solid white walls and the contemporary molds with the traditional dark wood stair case really makes you appreciate the finer details of the space. It's a great place to host events whether for an art show, a shopping event or even a wedding. It's a chic venue where you almost have to do nothing to create an upscale atmosphere. There are 4 floors but usually only the first three are utilized but are all open in the middle so you can gaze up and down to see the action on all of the floors. If you are looking to host an event for a few hundred people I would definitely recommend this space. read more

This review is more so for the event that I went to that was located in this building. Was given free VIP tix to Eats and Beats and when I first drove by I was surprised I had never notice the building. As we walked past the long line we were let right in and given out wristbands the process was quick and efficient. As soon as you walk in you notice the beautiful design of the building four floors up. The music was great and since were let in early with VIP we were able to try everything before the place got jam packed. Once they started to let everyone in it began to get very hot and the halls got super crammed people were pushing and it was very uncomfortable. Also I did not like that you had only one stairway to go up and down through and that they only had restrooms on the first floor. All in all I think the building is gorgeous I just would'nt go to an event if it's going to be that packed. read more
