Good to know
Club Space is a downtown Miami nightclub whose reputation rests on long, late parties. The club opens at 11pm and, in its own words, closes when it closes, with marathon sessions on its open-air Terrace running from night through to sunrise.
The Terrace, an open-air space under a disco ball, is the heart of the club, and many of its headline shows are billed specifically as Terrace events. Line-ups change from event to event, so the first step is to look at the listings on the club's website, which are powered by the ticketing platform DICE. Some events sell tickets at the door, while others have waiting lists, and the club runs a presale scheme called Invader Access for early access to Terrace shows and announcements.
Plan your night with the hours in mind. Because the club opens at 11pm and parties can run past dawn, many people arrive well after midnight and pace themselves for a long night. Bring identification, as you should for any club in Florida, wear comfortable shoes and drink plenty of water. Buying tickets in advance through DICE is the safest option for popular events.
Club Space suits dance music fans, groups of friends and travellers who want a big night out. It is not for anyone looking for a quiet drink or an early night, and it is strictly an adult venue. If you prefer live bands or a more relaxed setting, Lagniappe or Ball & Chain will suit you better.
Before you go, check the event page for the specific night, as door policies, ticket types and start times can differ between events. Keep your phone charged, both for your DICE ticket and to book a ride home, and agree a meeting point with friends in case you get separated in the crowd. Signing up for Invader Access is worthwhile if you plan to attend several shows.
The club is at 34 NE 11th Street in downtown Miami, close to Biscayne Boulevard and a short distance from Museum Park. Taxis and ride-shares are the simplest way to arrive and leave, particularly in the early morning. General enquiries can be sent to the email address published on the club's website, and partnership enquiries have a separate address.
