LunaSol to Ignite Wynwood’s Nightlife with a Luxe Lounge and Late-Night Club Experience
Wynwood, Reimagined After Dark
Wynwood has no shortage of nightlife energy—from street art-covered breweries to pulsing open-air venues—but for those seeking something more refined, the options have remained surprisingly limited. That’s where LunaSol enters the picture. Opening April 4 at 158 NW 24th Street, this dual-concept destination is designed to offer a more sophisticated after-dark experience, where elevated cocktails, chef-driven cuisine, and world-class music converge under one roof.
The project is a collaboration between Goat Hospitality Group and nightlife veterans Derek Gonzalez, Keith Paciello, and Ryan Van Milligen, each with deep roots in Miami’s hospitality scene. With LunaSol, they’re not simply adding another club to the mix—they’re defining a new standard for post-dinner luxury nightlife in a neighborhood already known for its culinary cachet.
“We see a clear gap in Wynwood’s nightlife. The neighborhood is home to some of Miami’s best restaurants, but when the dinner scene winds down, there hasn’t been an upscale space to keep the night going.”
Derek Gonzalez
Duality at Its Finest: Lounge and Club in One
LunaSol unfolds across 5,000 square feet, split into two distinct experiences: a sultry front-of-house cocktail lounge and a high-energy nightclub in the back. The cocktail lounge will operate Tuesday through Saturday from 5 PM to 11 PM, offering signature drinks, chef-curated small plates, and an ambient soundtrack of classic house, disco, and dance—evoking the refined spirit of a vinyl listening bar with a Miami twist.
Come nightfall on Fridays and Saturdays, the energy shifts. Behind the lounge lies LunaSol’s club component, open from 10 PM to 3 AM, pulsing with a world-class DJ lineup spinning Afro-Latin, house, electronic, and dance beats. Elevated seating offers bottle service and prime views of the dance floor, while a celestial-inspired retractable roof opens to the Miami sky—delivering the rare thrill of dancing beneath the stars.
Cocktails with Character
The beverage program at LunaSol takes familiar favorites and reinterprets them with a refined, house-crafted edge. Every cocktail is built on a base of super-premium spirits, fresh juices, and house-made purées, resulting in a menu that’s dynamic, elevated, and refreshingly Miami.
Highlights include:
Sunset Ritual (tequila-based)
Luna Diablo (tequila twist)
Limelight and Aurora Crush (vodka-forward)
Fashion at Midnight and Basil Beats (rum creations)
Cucumber Eclipse (gin-inspired)
For oenophiles and celebrants, a curated list of wines, premium champagnes, and rare spirits rounds out the drinks menu.
Gourmet Bites by Chef Donatella Arpaia
Food is far from an afterthought. In fact, LunaSol’s culinary program has serious credentials—courtesy of James Beard Award winner and Food Network personality Donatella Arpaia. The menu reflects her Italian heritage, filtered through Miami’s electric pulse, and is designed for sharing, late-night grazing, or indulging over cocktails.
Expect signature Tella Bella Neapolitan pizzas like:
Black Truffle with Ricotta and Pecorino
Modern Pepperoni with Hot Honey and Stracciatella
Classic Margherita with fresh mozzarella, house-made tomato sauce, basil, and extra virgin olive oil
And for those seeking something more opulent: caviar service is available throughout the evening.
“I couldn't be more excited to bring my culinary vision to LunaSol and to Wynwood. Miami has been my home for several years, and my Italian heritage continues to inspire my cooking.”
Chef Donatella Arpaia
Design That Captures the Night
Designed by Carlos Rodriguez of Escala Forma, LunaSol’s interior is both tactile and transportive. Natural rock walls, golden lighting, lush foliage, and custom textures lend the space a tone that’s equal parts Yucatecan mystique and European ease. The retractable roof in the nightclub further amplifies this dynamic design, inviting guests to transition seamlessly between environments—from laid-back luxury to high-octane celebration.
Your After-Dinner Destination Has Arrived
With its chef-driven menu, bespoke cocktails, stellar DJ talent, and a moonlit aesthetic designed to delight, LunaSol delivers a nightlife experience that’s sophisticated, social, and distinctly of-the-moment. It’s not simply what Wynwood was missing—it’s what Miami didn’t know it needed.
