When talking about neighborhoods with vibrant nightlife in Miami, Doral doesn’t normally come to mind. The sprawling suburb is west of Coral Gables, Flagami, even the airport. Despite steady development, the majority of people here are still home by midnight. So, back in the spring of 2019, when the popular Wynwood venue, the Wynwood Yard, closed shop and promised to open a new location in Downtown Doral, it was certainly a headscratcher. How could this legendary venue, where Chris Martin of Coldplay dropped in to perform unannounced one night and Shakira on another, thrive in the suburbs?
“I know Doral isn’t the first place people think of when you mention a place like the Yard,” says Trina Sargalski, director of marketing and communications for Yard Hospitality. “But I think that’s what makes it appealing.”
