The Kitchen Club: Miami’s Goth-Music Sanctuary for 29 Years.

Nestled in the heart of Miami, The Kitchen Club has been a beacon for goth and alternative culture for nearly three decades. Founded in 1988, this legendary venue provides a unique escape from Miami’s sunny facade, embracing the dark, moody spirit that thrives beneath the city’s surface. From its early days in South Beach to its current residency at Bar Nancy, The Kitchen Club has remained an iconic fixture in Miami nightlife, where the sounds of New Wave, post-punk, and ’80s goth reign supreme.

Led by DJ Aldo Luca (DJ 16bit) and hosted by the eccentric and beloved Notorious Nastie, The Kitchen Club offers a monthly celebration of the best in goth, industrial, and alternative music. Regulars and newcomers alike are transported to an era when bands like The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, and Ministry ruled the dance floors. Over the years, the club has drawn high-profile guests such as Iggy Pop, Marilyn Manson, and Andy Rourke of The Smiths, creating unforgettable nights of music and memories.

What sets The Kitchen Club apart is its ability to cultivate a space where nostalgia and cutting-edge alternative culture collide. Despite the club’s roaming past throughout South Florida, it has never lost its core identity, providing a sanctuary for those who embrace the strange, the dark, and the unusual. Whether you’re there to dance in perfect New Wave synchronicity or relive the energy of the ’80s goth scene, The Kitchen Club remains a cornerstone of Miami’s alternative nightlife.

Join us at The Kitchen Club, where the music is dark, the crowd is welcoming, and the spirit of goth lives on in Miami’s shadowy corners.
