DANTE’S HIFI

Being inside Dante’s Hi-Fi transports guests to Japan in the 1950s, where music aficionados would come and gather under the shared love of music in listening bars. The American version is a HiFi bar, with Dante’s serving as the first in Miami, debuting in Wynwood in 2021. The overall experience is optimized by room acoustics that, combined with state-of-the-art speaker arrays, envelop listeners in impeccable sound. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the intimacy of the 50-person nightlife destination, and savor the vinyls from Music Director Rich Medina’s personal collection in a one-of-a-kind setting. 519 NW 26th St., Miami, @danteshifi
