At 219 North 21st Avenue, history lingers in the walls. Once home to the world-famous Hemingway’s – the restaurant and music venue that defined South Florida’s golden era of glamour and excess – the address pulsed with life from the late 1970s through the ’90s.
Lines curved around the block, jazz spilled into the night, and legends like Dave Brubeck and Nat King Cole played to rooms draped in candlelight and champagne.

But even before the spotlight and sequins, the whispers began. In the 1940s, they say, this was a bordello – a place of velvet secrets and impossible desire. Some claim the madam never left, her spirit still brushing past the mirrors when the music slows.

Today, we’re honored to carry that legacy forward – to add a new rhythm to its storied past, and to ensure that the spirit of this place, with all its beauty and mystery, continues to live on.
