A clubbing evening…at home (or House Nightclub)
[/caption]
Those club promoters, what will they think of next. Well, it seems like next has already arrived and it's called House Nightclub in the Wynwood neighborhood. The concept is just what it seems, a nightclub that looks and feels like...a house. A very modern, futuristic house.
Naturally, it's housed in a former warehouse and although there are kitchens, showers and bedrooms within this club theme, for sure no clubgoers will be wearing robes and house slippers. They will however, grab their cocktails in the kitchens which will serve as bars, lounge on beds while sipping (or perhaps slammin') their chosen concoctions and hang out in showers that double as VIP rooms. Promoters are calling it the "Ultimate House Party," a cyber modulated world with holographic technology, 360 degree panoramic projections and 3D architectural mapping.

This is one Vice that’s worth keeping
One of the newest kids on the South Beach nightclub scene is Vice Lounge located in the quieter side of Lincoln Road, the area that's closer to the beach and not among the hustle and bustle of the pedestrian mall.

Red carpeted stairs lead to the second floor, great viewing areas from here for the dance floor, multiple bars and VIP areas with bottle service galore. Singer Jon Secada has hung out here, live performances are the norm and DJ's love playing here.
As is the norm in spots like this, they regularly host fashion shows here as well as happy hour parties. It's a party every night, weeknights never stop any club on the beach and Vice is no exception.

looking for a "great 'in spot,'" then Wall is one of the elite places to go in Miami.

The dance floor is nearly as spacious as the airy ceiling levels. The ever changing lights of purples, reds and greens against the wall is an added bonus to get you in the mood for a serious night of partying to hip hop and Top 40 mixes. If you're lucky, you might even catch Jamie Jo behind the DJ booth, spinning the killer mix that has everyone dancing.
As one of the newest nightclubs on SoBe and with VIP events happening every week, Wall's velvet rope is one of the hardest- and best- to get through.
*** Jamie Jo Harris is a singer-songwriter and founder of jewelry line, Belle Coeur. Jamie Jo's latest album, In Violet, features the hit single "U Turn Me On," featuring none other than legendary vocalist Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.
