Customer service was prompt and they addressed a concern that we had and was able to accommodate us right away.

Really nice ambience and atmosphere on a rooftop - perfect for brunch, looking forward to coming back at night. Only recommendation for mgmt is to turn down the music a bit. The food is very tasty, large plates of Mexican cuisine. The seats are super comfortable and everything is nice and big so you don’t feel cramped.

Club Space is the place to be for those who enjoy a little music with their dancing. With top notch electronic and house talents, this club never disappoints!

Club Space is one of the most established nightlife institutions in Miami. This company has been around for over 15 years and never fails to deliver on their promise!

Such a dope place, night and day! 3 separate rooms make it so you’ll always find something. Unlike a lot of other clubs in Miami, this place isn’t the “models & bottes” type place (although they do have VIP and such) and people actually dance and are surprisingly nice. Plus yoga on Saturdays -> best yoga class!!
