MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – A new rule aims to change the out-of-control party on Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue in South Beach, but not everyone in Miami Beach believes it will work.
Business owners who benefit from nightlife’s alcohol sales say that not only will the rule not work, but it will hurt the local economy. Property owners who are worried about the area’s reputation affecting real estate value support it.
Miami Beach commissioners voted 4-3 on Wednesday to ban daily early morning alcohol sales after 2 a.m. from May 22 to Dec. 8. The ban, which used to be at 5 a.m., applies to the entertainment district’s area between Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive south of 16th Street.
