Ever since the Magic City saw the Orange Bowl crumble in 2008, Miami sports fans were left with a void that most thought would never be filled – Until now. Enter Black Market, a Miami sports bar that calls upon the nostalgia of eighties Miami, a time where the Hurricanes reigned supreme in the college football landscape, when Dan Marino would become the face of Miami sports, and the rest of the country looked at our oasis as a ‘Paradise Lost.’ Cash was king in a lawless city during a time where OUR Miami began to take shape. Black Market Miami is a place that invites you to take pride in our city’s past, both the good and the bad, because it is this rich history that made us who we are today.
