General info:

The Forge is a famous Miami restaurant with long and interesting history. During the prohibition era, in the 1920es, it was the number 1 choice for arcane groups. Famous criminal, and Al Capone’s pall, Mayer Lensky was a regular guest in the Forge. Several murders occurred here and the restaurant was even burned to the ground. The history of this place served as an inspiration for many gangster movies.

However, that was all in the past. Since the renovation in 2009, the Forge has become the epicenter of nightlife and a favorite venue for celebrities. It wouldn’t be a surprise if you met some movie or music star, having a meal or partying in the forge.

Getting there:

The Forge is located on Miami Beach at 432, 41st St. The closest bus station is Sheridan Av@40 St.

Costs:
