Bad Bunny'S Miami Hotspot: From Wagyu Delights To Nightlife Heights

Miami's Dual Delight: Fine Dining Meets Nightlife

Miami is famous for its vibrant nightlife, especially along the iconic Ocean Avenue, but Brickell is where high-end dining meets the city's electric after-hours scene. Enter Gekkō – a swanky establishment co-owned by global sensation Bad Bunny and nightlife mogul David Grutman. This hotspot opened its doors in 2022, offering a tantalizing mix of Japanese steakhouse cuisine and late-night lounge vibes.

At Gekkō, guests can indulge in a variety of wagyu dishes, including wagyu crispy rice and an olive-fed wagyu filet. Beyond the wagyu wonders, the menu features steakhouse classics like ribeyes and Tomahawks, alongside sushi favorites such as nigiri, maki, and omakase. The ambiance is as Instagram-worthy as the plates, crafting an unforgettable dining experience with a price tag to match Miami's luxury scene.

“Gekkō is more than just a restaurant – it's an experience, blending culinary excellence with a nightlife atmosphere,” an insider shared.

From Dining to Dancing: Gekkō's Nightlife Transformation

As the sun sets, Gekkō shifts gears, turning from a culinary haven into a pulsating lounge. The venue lights up with red hues, a blue backlit bar, and chic paper lanterns hovering over the center VIP section. While it might not reach the wild heights of Grutman's other venture, LIV, Gekkō's DJ sets still draw a star-studded crowd. Celebrities like Lil Wayne, Karol G, the Beckhams, and Kim Kardashian have all been spotted soaking in the vibrant atmosphere.

For those ready to splurge on a memorable night, Gekkō offers VIP tables for groups of 8-10 with a minimum spend of $3,000. Whether you're starting or ending your night here, this venue promises an upscale experience.

A Perfect Nightcap

Just a stone's throw from Gekkō is Blackbird Ordinary, a local gem offering a more laid-back vibe. With its leather booths, pool table, live music, and spacious patio, this bar is perfect for winding down. Open until 5 a.m., it’s the ideal spot for a nightcap after an evening of indulgence at Gekkō.
