Dating back to the 1930s, Cameo Theater has been part of the late-night South Beach music scene offering a theater-style dance venue to a fashionable trove of weekend party seekers. Today, Opium Group manages the theater and a diverse music line-up that ranges between stripper-theme midweek dance nights to an acclaimed Saturday night hip-hop party privy to names like Chris Brown, Rick Ross and Trey Songz. A period deco entryway leads to a series of bars and main dance floor that's surrounded by built-in VIP booths available for weekend bottle service on busier nights.
Tips
Once the center of Miami’s alternative music scene, in the 80s the club was neon pink and green and a magnet for bands like Jane’s Addiction, Black Flag, Ramones, and the Dead Kennedys.
Last Word
The crowd at Cameo varies by event, with Saturday tending towards more of a hip-hop crowd and then leaning towards electronic house on other nights.
