Sports & Social will become part of Miami Worldcenter's alluring list of recently revealed tenants, including Sephora, Bowlero, and Lucid Motors. Also, food and beverage concepts like Brasserie Laurel and El Vecino under the direction of Michelin-starred Chef Michael Beltran and Chicago's Maple & Ash and etta restaurants. In the "city-within-a-city" of Downtown Miami, these seven concepts and the newest tenant occupy about 110,000 square feet of leased retail space.

"The addition of Sports & Social to our tenant mix proves that there will be something for everyone at Miami Worldcenter," said Nitin Motwani, Managing Partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates. "Every restaurant and store that will open at Miami Worldcenter is carefully selected to ensure the ultimate live-work-play experience that appeals to Downtown Miami's growing residential and commercial population."

Sports & Social, a top dining, entertainment and sports viewing concept, came from the vision of one of the country's largest and most successful developers of restaurants and entertainment concepts, Live! Hospitality & Entertainment. The company's main goal is to build iconic venues in renowned entertainment and leisure areas, renowned casino resort locations, and close to professional sports stadiums across the nation. There are nine Sports & Social sites across the country, including Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in the South Philadelphia Sports Complex, Ballpark Village next to Busch Stadium in St. Louis, The Battery next to Truist Park in Atlanta, and Texas Live! in the Arlington Entertainment District. In addition, Sports & Social will open a second store in South Florida in the winter of 2022 at Dolphin Mall.

The Sports & Social Miami Worldcenter, just a few steps from Miami's FTX Arena, will occupy about 20,000 square feet in the development's glass-encased "Jewel Box" retail building. It will feature an open-air third level and a rooftop restaurant overlooking World Square's public park and plaza. The establishment will provide sophisticated food and beverage options, including homemade gameday favorites, handmade cocktails, specialty drinks, its distinctive Crush selection, and various beers from popular local and national beers. In addition to hosting several special food-related events, Sports & Social will also offer a must-try brunch experience on Saturdays and Sundays that will feature its renowned #brunchtails table drinks and menu favorites like avocado toast, savory breakfast skillets, and its famous Chicken & Bliss.

Throughout the week, Sports & Social Miami will host a range of live music performances and unique activities, including one of the greatest sports viewing occasions in the area with its premium game-day Sports Watch activations. With cutting-edge technology, the venue will include a striking 53-foot LED display as its focal point, streaming different athletic events and games simultaneously. Various social activities, including shuffleboard, skeeball, foosball, pop-a-shot, arcade games, and Beirut, are also available for guests to enjoy. ICRAVE, Jeffrey Beers International, and Knauer Incorporated, three of the most prestigious firms in the world, each contributed to the distinctive design of each Sports & Social venue with great attention to every detail. ICRAVE, an internationally renowned award-winning strategy, design, and development agency, is creating Sports & Social at Miami Worldcenter. The agency has offices in Miami and New York. It has been in charge of guiding the design for Sports & Social's nationwide expansion.

Hospitality & Entertainment. “As we continue to expand the concept nationwide, we take great pride in ensuring that each location of Sports & Social is specifically curated from our elevated food and beverage offerings and premier entertainment experiences to our best-in-class architecture and design.”
