Heart Nightclub in Miami abruptly closes after WMC

After fighting city hall over noise complaint violations the past year, Heart Nightclub announced today that their location on NE 11th will close immediately. The club will be missed especially with its extended session parties many times lasting well past dawn.

Michael Slyder, Heart’s CFO, issued the following statement:

“During this past year, the clubs in our 24-hour entertainment district have been constantly attacked by new condo developers, residents and the City of Miami. We have fought a good fight and spent a great deal of money on lawyers but now it’s time for us to throw in the towel. It is quite obvious that our neighbors don’t want to compromise to resolve the issue, that real estate agents and developers want clubs closed as they think by doing so property values will increase, and that the City is less interested in protecting nightlife and its businesses than in the past.

We at Heart will be taking the time that we are closed to rest and decide whether to launch somewhere else or just stay at rest. We thank you for your support and the amazing events and experiences that you have helped us create during the past three years.”
