Late-night party animals, prepare to not be shocked.
E11EVEN Miami was officially ranked the best club in the United States, and sixth in the world. The local 24/7 “ultraclub” received the honor from the International Nightlife Association last week. Headquartered in Fiesta Central, aka Spain, the nonprofit is totally legit, and actually has actual delegates in the United Nations representing folks who work in the nightlife sector.
This is a pretty big deal for the 20,000-square-foot downtown venue; there were 545 nominees across 73 countries.
E11EVEN’s concept creator Dennis DeGori told the Miami Herald during its 11th anniversary celebrations in January he thinks the club’s winning formula is in its “own lane.” That’s a mix of Vegas-meets-Broadway style entertainment, high-tech lighting and sleek interiors, sprinkled with performances by a wide range of major artists. Everyone from Drake and Cardi B to Fat Joe and Travis Scott (who made it rain during F1 in 2022) have graced the famed center stage.
The list was determined half by online voting, and the other half a jury of industry experts. Criteria included artistic programming, safety measures, VIP services, online reservation systems, sound quality, customer service, social media standing and more.
“[Being named the best U.S. club] validates the vision we’ve been building for more than a decade,” DeGori said in press materials. “We’re proud of our team, grateful to our supporters, and more motivated than ever to keep evolving what a nightlife experience can be.”
