Events and Programming
Blue Martini Brickell is open and trading at 900 South Miami Avenue, Suite 250, inside Mary Brickell Village. This is the Miami location visitors should use: the separate Kendall Blue Martini closed permanently on September 15, 2024. As of August 24, 2026, the Brickell venue has an active nightly entertainment schedule, with recurring events loaded into late fall 2026.
The programming is closer to a nightlife residency calendar than a conventional concert season. Mondays combine cocktails with karaoke, generally from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tuesdays feature an open-format late-night social. Wednesdays emphasize Miami’s Latin sound through Casa Reparto, mixing cubatón, reggaeton, salsa and open-format selections. Thursday is the Umami, Mami ladies’ night; Friday brings open-format DJs; Saturday centers on Welcome to the Jungle and Latin/house music; and Sunday Service leans toward hip-hop, R&B and open format.
Live bands remain part of the format, particularly on Fridays before the venue moves into its later DJ-led phase. Recent calendars have advertised live music from approximately 8 to 11 p.m., followed by DJs through closing. The result is a noticeable change during the night: early arrivals encounter a cocktail lounge and after-work crowd, while late arrivals find a busier dance-club atmosphere.
The 2021–2026 record shows continuity rather than a reliance on touring headliners. Local visitors still identified Blue Martini as a live-music option in 2021. The venue then underwent a major renovation and announced a November 2022 reopening with bands, DJs and dancers. A 2023 gallery documented themed celebrations including St. Patrick’s Day weekend, Fourth of July, Little Black Dress, Christmas in July and a Chimbala-branded event.
During 2024 and 2025, the calendar included Martini Monday karaoke, hospitality-industry nights, ladies’ nights, Latin/house Saturdays, Caribbean and hip-hop Sundays, football viewing, the multi-night Vampire Ball, Welcome to the Jungle, They Not Like Us Fridays and appearances listed under names such as Vinyl and Extasy. It has also hosted professional networking events, showing that the space functions as both a nightlife venue and an after-work gathering place.
For the remainder of 2026, the venue has announced continued weekly editions of its established Latin/house, Welcome to the Jungle and Sunday Service formats. No specific Miami program for 2027 was published during this research, so visitors should treat the established weekly rotation—not an unannounced long-range concert season—as the best guide to future programming.
Tickets and Booking
Many regular Blue Martini nights operate as walk-in nightlife events rather than separately ticketed concerts. Current listings commonly advertise music, happy hour and bottle promotions without quoting a general-admission price. Promotional entry windows may be free, while a cover can be introduced later, on busy weekends or for special events. Historical visitor reports commonly place covers around $10–$20, but there is no dependable current flat rate.
When an event has advance admission, buy through the event listing authorized by the venue rather than from an unsolicited reseller. For a normal weekly night, arriving early is often more useful than purchasing in advance: it can mean easier entry, access to happy-hour pricing and a better choice of unreserved tables. Holiday weekends, Halloween parties and major Miami event weeks deserve earlier planning.
Table reservations and bottle packages are the main premium booking options. Recent promotions have advertised headline bottle prices in roughly the $150–$250 range, although the selection, minimum spend, tax and gratuity vary. Private-event beverage packages have separately listed drink tickets and two-hour open bars, with a 20% gratuity plus tax. These are not standard admission tickets.
About Blue Martini
Blue Martini is an upscale cocktail lounge, live-music room and dance club occupying a second-level space in Mary Brickell Village. It bridges several audiences: Brickell professionals finishing work, birthday and bachelorette groups, Latin-night dancers, hospitality employees and visitors seeking a late-closing venue without traveling to Miami Beach. Its signature is the transition from happy hour to live entertainment and then full nightclub energy.
The precise opening date is not clearly documented. Blue Martini was announced as a future Mary Brickell Village tenant before the center opened, with a projected June 2007 debut, and it was operating by December 2007. By 2008 it was hosting themed happy hours and finance-industry networking and had received local recognition for its happy hour. It was described as a longstanding Brickell tenant by 2020.
The venue temporarily left the market for a multi-million-dollar remodeling project before reopening in November 2022. Work introduced a video wall, replacement sound system, laser lighting, new furniture, an indoor-outdoor patio bar and electronic windows. The floor was also opened up to improve movement and visibility between the entertainment and social areas.
Published size and capacity figures conflict. A landlord leasing plan lists Blue Martini’s space at 6,703 square feet, while a meeting-venue profile gives 7,800 square feet. The venue says it can host an exclusive event of up to 300 people; other listings cite approximately 200 seated or 300 standing, while the 2022 reopening announcement described more than 300 seats. No verified fire-code occupancy or room dimensions are publicly posted, so 300 is best treated as an event-planning benchmark rather than a guaranteed public-night capacity.
Seating and Layout
This is not an auditorium with numbered seats. The layout combines tables and high-tops, an entertainment and dance-floor zone near the stage, an indoor-outdoor patio bar and a more exclusive VIP area. Three outdoor high-top tables near the entrance provide additional seating and serve as the designated cigarette and cigar area. Seating availability changes when tables are reserved for bottle service or private groups.
For the strongest live-show experience, choose a table facing the stage or stand near the dance floor. Expect this zone to be loud and increasingly crowded after the live set. The patio is better for conversation, easier movement and short breaks from the main sound system. VIP seating works best for groups that prioritize a table and service over being directly in the dance-floor crowd.
The 2022 electronic window system and indoor-outdoor bar help the venue maintain a patio atmosphere during heat or rain. Guests sensitive to volume, lasers, smoke or tightly packed spaces should arrive early, request seating away from the stage and avoid the busiest late-night period. Detailed loudspeaker models, lighting plots, stage dimensions and audio-input specifications have not been publicly released.
Getting There and Parking
Blue Martini is at 900 South Miami Avenue, Suite 250, Miami, Florida 33130, on the upper level of Mary Brickell Village. Drivers can enter the center’s covered garage from SW 10th Street between South Miami Avenue and SW First Avenue. The published garage schedule ranges from $8 for the first hour to $40 for five to 24 hours. Parking is cashless, and card-processing fees may apply.
Valet service operates along South Miami Avenue. Published rates range from $25 for up to two hours to $60 beyond five hours. A critical late-night detail is that valet service is scheduled to end at 1 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, even though Blue Martini may remain open later. Vehicles not collected in time may have to remain until the following business day.
The closest rail options are Tenth Street Promenade Metromover station and Brickell station. Both are only a short walk from Mary Brickell Village. The free Metromover serves Downtown and Brickell seven days a week, while Brickell station also connects with Metrorail, several Metrobus routes and Miami’s trolley network. Late-night visitors should check their return service before entering because the club can outlast some transit options.
Rideshare drop-offs generally use the South Miami Avenue frontage. On crowded Friday and Saturday nights, traffic and valet activity can slow the curb, so accepting a drop-off one block away may be faster. The surrounding Brickell grid is walkable, but use normal city precautions after midnight and avoid waiting alone on a quiet side street.
Inside the Venue
Entry feels more like a nightclub than a restaurant. Bring valid government-issued photo identification, expect dress-code enforcement and allow extra time for the door line on busy nights. Blue Martini is a 21-and-over venue. Fashionable or business-casual clothing is the safest choice; athletic wear, beachwear, flip-flops, badly ripped clothing and overly casual outfits risk refusal. ticketfairy.com
The drinks program centers on more than 40 martinis, cocktails, wine, Champagne and bottle service. The signature Blue Martini combines vodka, blue curaçao, sour mix and orange juice in an oversized snifter. Standard martinis were listed around $16–$17 during this research. Food includes dips, flatbreads, wings, sliders, seafood, tenderloin and lamb dishes, with several vegan or gluten-free options or modifications identified on the menu.
Kitchen hours normally end before the club closes, so late arrivals should not assume the complete food menu will remain available all night. Published schedules extend the kitchen later on Thursday through Saturday than earlier in the week. Happy-hour periods and exclusions also change by day and promotion.
Hookah and vaping are permitted indoors under the venue’s published policy. Cigarettes and cigars are limited to the exterior near the entrance. This is important for guests with asthma, fragrance sensitivity or smoke sensitivity: the indoor environment may not be suitable even when cigarette smoking is outside.
Recent positive visitor accounts emphasize accommodating service for large groups, varied DJ selections, successful corporate and launch events, and the improved post-remodel appearance. Other visitors have reported inconsistent door charges, service delays or nights that were quieter than expected. The experience therefore depends heavily on arrival time, event theme and crowd level.
Nearby Amenities
Mary Brickell Village allows visitors to combine dinner and entertainment without moving a car. Current options in the complex include Moxies, North Italia, Novecento, P.F. Chang’s, Shake Shack, Mister O1, Kan Sushi, Balan’s and several fast-casual or dessert businesses. Dining before Blue Martini is advisable when attending a late event because the venue kitchen closes before the nightlife ends.
Nearby accommodations include citizenM Miami Brickell inside the development, SLS Lux across South Miami Avenue, and Hampton Inn & Suites, Hotel Indigo, EAST Miami and several other hotels within a few blocks. Staying in Brickell avoids late-night parking and reduces dependence on limited after-hours transit.
What Makes This Venue Special
Blue Martini’s lasting importance comes from its role in Brickell’s transformation from a primarily financial district into an after-hours neighborhood. It was present during Mary Brickell Village’s first nightlife era, survived increasing competition from nearby towers and hospitality groups, and returned after a substantial modernization rather than abandoning its original location.
The room’s programming mirrors Miami itself: English- and Spanish-language music, reggaeton, salsa, cubatón, Caribbean sounds, hip-hop, R&B, house, live cover bands and open-format DJs share the calendar. Few nights are built around silent seated listening; the emphasis is social, participatory and dance-oriented, including karaoke and theme parties.
No independent study has quantified Blue Martini’s direct economic impact. Its visible contribution is nevertheless clear: it supports late-night hospitality work, private parties, corporate functions, professional networking and sustained foot traffic for a mixed-use Brickell center. Its industry nights directly court local restaurant and bar employees. After the Kendall location closed in 2024, Brickell also became the remaining Miami-area home for patrons attached to the brand.
Visitor Tips and Accessibility
The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible, and the Mary Brickell Village garage offers accessible parking. Both nearby Metromover stations have accessible infrastructure; Miami-Dade Transit provides backup transportation when a wheelchair user encounters an inoperable Metromover elevator. Exact details about accessible restroom layouts, low counters or hearing-assistance systems have not been published, so visitors needing a particular table position should arrange it before arrival.
Arrive between opening and approximately 9 p.m. for easier seating, lower volume and happy-hour promotions. Arrive closer to 10 or 11 p.m. if dancing and the main DJ atmosphere are the priority. Do not leave a valeted vehicle beyond valet closing, assume promotional offers apply automatically, or wear beach clothing simply because the venue is in Miami.
Bring photo ID, a compact bag, a payment card and a backup ride plan. A detailed public bag-size policy, coat-check policy and professional-camera policy could not be verified. Security and management may adjust admission, photography and entry procedures for special events, so carry only what you need and avoid professional recording equipment unless it has been approved.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Blue Martini Miami still open?
Yes. Blue Martini Brickell was open and publishing current events at 900 South Miami Avenue as of August 24, 2026. Confusion usually comes from the separate Kendall venue, which closed permanently in September 2024, or from the Brickell location’s temporary shutdown for its 2022 renovation.
Do I need a ticket for Blue Martini?
Most weekly DJ, karaoke and live-band nights are presented as regular nightlife programming rather than traditional ticketed concerts. Some may offer free promotional entry, while others introduce a cover at the door. Special celebrations can use advance admission. Always rely on the terms shown for that specific event rather than assuming every night is free.
How much is the cover charge?
There is no consistently published cover price. Historical guests commonly reported approximately $10–$20, with free admission sometimes available earlier or for promotional groups. That range should be treated only as a planning allowance: weekends, holidays, guest appearances, arrival time and management decisions can produce a different charge.
Is Blue Martini strictly 21 and over?
Yes. Blue Martini Brickell is operated as a 21-and-over lounge and nightclub, including nights that begin during dinner or happy-hour periods. Every guest should carry an unexpired government-issued photo ID. Being accompanied by an adult does not create a confirmed exception for a younger visitor. ticketfairy.com
What kind of music does Blue Martini play?
The schedule covers open-format dance music, reggaeton, salsa, cubatón, Latin house, Caribbean music, hip-hop and R&B. Fridays may begin with a live band before transitioning to DJs, while karaoke anchors Monday nights. Check the night’s theme carefully because Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday can offer distinctly different musical experiences.
What is the best night for Latin music?
Wednesday’s Casa Reparto format emphasizes cubatón, reggaeton and salsa, while Saturdays regularly feature Latin and house music. Sunday programming sometimes adds Caribbean selections. Wednesday is generally the strongest choice for a specifically Latin dance-floor focus; Saturday is better for a broader weekend mix with house and open-format transitions.
Does Blue Martini have live bands?
Yes. The venue’s published schedule identifies Friday as its regular live-music night, commonly placing the band around 8–11 p.m. before DJs take over. Bands can also appear during special events or on other nights. This is a lounge performance environment with drinking, conversation and dancing rather than a seated concert hall.
Can I reserve a table?
Yes. Tables, VIP seating and bottle-service packages are available, and reservations are particularly useful for birthdays, bachelor or bachelorette groups and busy weekend nights. Confirm the minimum spend, included bottles, table location, admission terms, tax and gratuity before committing; an advertised bottle special does not necessarily represent the group’s complete final charge.
What is Blue Martini’s capacity?
The venue promotes private events of up to 300 guests, and another event profile lists approximately 200 seated or 300 standing. A reopening announcement described more than 300 seats, creating some inconsistency. Because no official occupancy certificate is published, visitors should use 300 only as an approximate event-planning figure.
Where should I sit for the best view?
Choose the stage and dance-floor area if seeing the performers and joining the crowd are most important. Select the indoor-outdoor patio for easier conversation and movement. Reserved VIP tables suit groups that need a reliable base, although their exact sightlines vary. Arrive early if you want an unreserved table near the entertainment.
How much does parking cost?
The Mary Brickell Village garage publishes rates from $8 for up to one hour to $40 for five to 24 hours. Valet ranges from $25 for up to two hours to $60 beyond five hours. Rates can change, card fees apply and valet ends before the club on many nights.
What is the nearest public transportation?
Tenth Street Promenade Metromover station and Brickell station are both within a short walk. Metromover service is free, while Brickell station also connects with Metrorail, buses and local trolley routes. Verify late-night return times in advance, especially on Friday or Saturday when Blue Martini can remain open until the early morning.
What should I wear to Blue Martini?
Fashionable, upscale-casual or business-casual clothing is the safest choice. Men typically wear trousers or clean dark jeans with a smart shirt and closed shoes; women commonly choose dresses, skirts, jumpsuits or polished separates. Avoid athletic outfits, beachwear, flip-flops, excessively ripped clothing and other items that can fail door discretion.
Does Blue Martini have a bag policy?
A detailed maximum bag size is not published in the venue’s current public FAQ. Bring a small handbag or compact personal bag, leave unnecessary items at your hotel or home and allow time for inspection. Professional camera cases, large backpacks and bulky luggage are poor choices for a crowded lounge even without a published prohibition.
Is smoking allowed inside?
The venue permits hookah and vaping indoors. Cigarettes and cigars must be used outside near the entrance, where three high-top tables are available. Guests with asthma or smoke and fragrance sensitivity should understand that indoor hookah and vaping may still affect air quality, particularly when the club is busy.
Is food served throughout the night?
Blue Martini serves appetizers, flatbreads, sliders and larger dishes, but the kitchen closes before the nightclub does. Published hours generally end food service earlier Sunday through Wednesday and extend it later on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Eat earlier if dinner is important; late-night entry may provide only reduced availability or no kitchen service.
Is Blue Martini wheelchair accessible?
The venue is listed as wheelchair accessible, and the attached garage provides accessible parking. The nearby Metromover system also supports wheelchair users. Public information does not detail every restroom fixture, table clearance or VIP route, so guests needing a specific accommodation should request an accessible table and step-free route before the event.
How early should I arrive?
Arrive before 9 p.m. for easier entry, better access to unreserved seating and a quieter cocktail-lounge atmosphere. For the principal live set, aim for roughly 7:30–8 p.m. on Fridays. If your priority is the full dance floor and late DJ set, 10:30 p.m. or later provides the livelier experience.
