MIAMI, Oct. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- This November,
Miami will welcome a new member to
the family. "The Wharf" proudly announces it will open its doors to
much anticipation from foodies, event goers and media. The new
outdoor pop-up event space sits on a bend in the Miami River, just
a few blocks from downtown located at 114 SW North River Drive,
Miami, Florida. Brainchild of
developers Alex Mantecon,
Guillermo Vadell, and
hospitality guru Emilio "Emi" Guerra, this unique space will
be anchored with live music, eats, cocktails and a rotation of
special events. The overall project earned the approval of
City of Miami voters in
March 2016, a referendum triggered by
the city code and charter requiring voter approval of the lease or
sale of city property. Mantecon and Vadell have partnered with
local river staple Garcia's who will operate an open-air raw bar
and market onsite at The Wharf opening this November.
The Wharf will boast a setting unlike any other in South Florida. The 30,000-square-feet open-air
venue will welcome patrons looking to please their palates with
some of the most delectable libations and culinary creations in
town. For those concerned about unpredictable Miami rain, no need to worry. The venue will
be comprised of open-air and a covered large tent structure erected
by EventStar recognized for their special event tents during
such acclaimed events as Art Basel.
With multiple lounge, conversation and dining areas, those looking
for a cool spot to enjoy happy hour or cooked on the spot eats will
have lots of choices of where to get cozy. Some of Miami's most sought-after food trucks will be
on a regular rotation weekly to satisfy eager palates, as well as a
delightful rotation of highly acclaimed chefs doing one-night
special engagements to please the foodie community. For those
wanting to arrive by boat, The Wharf will also offer an impressive
amount of dockage space.
The Miami River area has risen in popularity with a handful of
eateries satisfying eager crowds on weekends to include the
recreational boating community. But now, The Wharf will offer
multiple areas to satisfy an even wider audience. Alex Mantecon stated: "This is just the
beginning. We are so excited to launch this effort. We know guests
are going to love it. This will be that place, where active
professionals, families and lovers of food and drink can enjoy
minus any pretentiousness. A lot of planning has gone into the
space. And this will be just a taste of what's to eventually rise
at the location. "
The Wharf is a precursor to a permanent mixed-use food and
entertainment destination known as "Riverside Wharf" on the [same]
site. With that said, Mantecon and Vadell enlisted only what many
would consider an "A-team" to work on the soon to open project. The
design and buildout of the pop-up was collaboration with many
entities including design firm The Secret Sauce, to ensure
the final product was up to par and what they truly envisioned. The
Wharf will employ concrete, AstroTurf, tents and canopies, modular
tables and chairs and three to four food trucks to bring life to
the vacant land between I-95 and the SW First Street Bridge. The
Wharf will feature up to five small retail huts, lounge seating on
a wooden deck, waterside seating along the river, pedestal seating
and tables, space for two bars, communal tables and ping pong.
Also, featuring the use of repurposed materials, lots of nautical
references and relaxed pieces such as Adirondack chairs, many will
soon enjoy this new hotspot which is holding employment casting
calls for all positions on October 25
and 26. Those interested may apply via:
