Club Space

Club Space is a large nightclub located in the downtown area of Miami, Florida. It is widely considered an international superclub and a key fixture in the dance music scene in Miami and the United States. The venue is generally thought of as being responsible for kickstarting the Entertainment District in Downtown Miami. The Entertainment district, as of 2007, features six nightclubs, each with a 24-hour liquor license, enabling them to operate well past the traditional 5 AM legal closing time of most nightclubs in Miami-Dade County.
In the seven years of operation, Space has resided in two buildings. The first was a one-story renovated warehouse, consisting of three rooms, as well as an outdoor patio area, which was one of the primary reasons the venue was made famous. From March 17, 2000, until April, 2003, Club Space played host to some innovative parties for the Miami dance music scene, including marathon sets from Danny Tenaglia and Paul Van Dyk. Noted Miami producer Oscar G also acquired his long-running residency at this building.
Due to capacity issues, the venue was then moved to a larger warehouse and briefly renamed Space 34, before returning to simply being called Space. In its current configuration, (the building has radically changed its layout many times) Space is a 3-room, 25,000 square foot complex, consisting of a large main room with a significant VIP area, an upstairs loft, as well as a rooftop patio which plays host to daytime parties. Often, guest DJs will play the main room, and then continue their sets upstairs on the patio.

[edit] Noise problems from the terrace
Club Space has had recent friction with nearby residents as the Park West neighborhood gentrifies, and the owner Louis Puig was recently arrested.[1] Nightclub industry insiders report that the terrace could close by July.[2] Neighboring club Nocturnal has reportedly reduced the volume on their upstairs terrace.[3] Recent opinion polls indicate that Club Space could remain a popular venue if the terrace is closed.[4]
