Crobar

 

   

(Crobar is closed and has re-opened as The Cameo)

1445 Washington Avenue
Miami Beach, FL 33139
305.672.8084

 



Crobar is the South Beach outpost of eight-year-old Crobar Chicago, a shrine for serious dance-music fans and top DJ's. Although Crobar South Beach is a bit more driven by the see-and-be-seen crowd of beautiful people, music is still vitally important to its extraordinary success. Top international DJ's such as John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Little Louie Vega and Ministry of Sound pass through Crobar regularly, and the club also showcases the most popular and acclaimed local DJ's, such as Eddie X.

The 16,000-square-foot Crobar, housed in the historic Art Deco movie theater The Cameo, is divided into a 10,000-square-foot main room downstairs and a 6,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed VIP room upstairs that features its own sound system and DJ. A catwalk around the perimeter of the second level offers bottle service at curtained banquettes and excellent views of the action below. A giant DJ booth looms down in front of a vast plexi-glass wall illuminated by silhouettes of whirling industrial fans.

For serious dancers or those who enjoy being among the throbbing masses as they celebrated the most progressive music in a visually stunning environment, the downstairs main room is the ticket. For those who prefer to party among the beautiful people the upstairs VIP room is an excursion into another world. Either way, Crobar is a stylish sanctuary for high-octane partying.

Review:  I had a ridiculously amazing time at crobar. From the very second I walked in the door, the music was pulsing. The energy was out of control. No matter where you're from, or whatever your social class may be, Crobar is for anyone looking to have an amazing time.

Review:  Let me tell you this is by far the best club I have ever been in. Not only is it warm and relaxed upscale atmosphere. But you really never want the night to end once you step inside. From industrial chic decor, to all the bells and whistles. Crobar will have u wired till the am with the best experience Miami has to offer! The music is fresh and new, with soul and body. And the staff treats you like a king or queen of the hour. If only the best will do, this is it!!!!

Review:  I've been to Crobar on many occasions and it never ceases to amaze me! As someone who is very familiar with Miami nightlife, I can safely say that Crobar is my favorite club. The music is spectacular and everyone who goes there is just looking to have a crazy time. Besides, I always manage to sneak my way out of paying the cover charge. My only complaint is that the bouncers can be rude at times, but I suppose it's like that anywhere. The price of drinks is moderate but getting someone else to buy you a drink or getting alcohol from someone else's table isn't really a problem. Overall, Crobar is a great club with a spectacular atmosphere!

Review:  Went this past Saturday Night and had a horrible experience. There was almost a riot outside due to several hundred people trying to get in, and the club had no control. The guy in charge of letting people in- Nikola was outright rude and nasty to several people when I was there- yelling etc... People had reservations for tables only to be told too bad. People wanting to just pay the cover also had to just stand there forever and weren't told either way if they would be let in. I was surprised that they didn't draw a more upscale clientele. As one who has been to Skybar, Mynt etc, I thought the people who were there overall didn't dress well and weren't the same etc... As a comparison, Club Tabu in Vegas is also much more upscale and they have way better staff. I hope Crobar looks into their inept staff.

Review:  I was there on a Sunday night for hip hop night. The decor is nothing special. The gigantic speakers on the dance floor are almost too loud to be safe. The bass is so heavy that the entire place shakes. The music was so-so. I think the DJ could have been much better. The staff outside were not too friendly, and the downstairs bartenders were hit or miss. One charged me $12 for a drink, and the other $10 for the same drink. I suggest going to Mansion which is just down the street.

Review:  Went to the "Back Door Bamby" party at Crobar and had a blowout time! Lots of freaks at this party. Beautiful biker-chicks, raving drag queens, trans-whatevers, you name it, they got it. Music was very hot—not the typical recycled prom-night crap that's played at other so-called "clubs." I've been to some great parties, but there was a wild party attitude at this one. Ha! —the door guy was wearing a tutu—how can you go wrong at a place like that?

(P.S. What's a "Back Door Bamby" anyway?)

Review:  WMC 04 Big Ticket Venue with Timo Mass.  Had a good Time but the venue was over priced. All of their venues were expensive.  I think that $40 should be a max for all venues @ Crobar

There was a huge line outside.  The staff did not handle the crowd in the best manner.  I waited about 30 minutes before I got in.  The party was "live" but I was still in sticker shock after paying $60....find out after you are inside.  I Paid like a tourist.  It's all good.
