Miami’s Most Exclusive Concert Nightlife Experience Awaits at Kaseya Center’s Courtside Club

When you walk into Miami’s Kaseya Center, the bass hasn’t dropped yet, but the party is already in full swing. Just steps from the arena floor, the Courtside Club hums with Champagne toasts, live DJ sets, and the kind of electric energy usually reserved for the city’s top nightlife spots. Once an exclusive escape for Miami Heat fans, the space now opens its doors for select concerts, turning a night at the arena into an all-night affair.

It’s a scene all its own, where plush banquettes, low-lit corners, and a soundtrack that evolves with each performer set the tone long before the first chord is struck. Guests sip crafted cocktails and savor Pubbelly Sushi’s inventive bites, knowing the fun won’t stop when the encore ends. With its after-hours party and VIP service, the Courtside Club makes the concert just one part of the evening.

Courtside Club Upgraded Access Pass

Curved booths and sleek round tables give guests an intimate vantage point inside the Courtside Club.

The Courtside Club experience isn’t just about fantastic food and drinks. It’s designed as your personal lounge for the entire night. The Upgraded Access Pass, currently offered for select concerts (tickets are available for Lady Gaga, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Benson Boone, Manuel Turizo, and more), gives guests a chance to step inside an hour before doors open and make the most of the evening from start to finish.

With the pass, you’ll enjoy in-and-out access to the Courtside Club throughout the show, making it easy to grab a cocktail or a bite during set breaks. Entry includes two complimentary specialty cocktails and one hour of passed hors d’oeuvres beginning at doors open. After the final encore, the club transforms into a full-on after-party, with a DJ spinning for up to two hours so you can keep the night going as traffic dies down.

The Upgraded Access Pass starts at $120 (plus your valid event ticket) and can be purchased via Ticketmaster or directly at Section 114 on the Main Concourse the day of the event, pending availability.

VIP Access at Every Turn

The bar at the Courtside Club is a focal point, serving everything from Champagne cocktails to top-shelf pours.

The Courtside Club is as much about the service as it is about the setting. Guests enjoy concierge-style hospitality that anticipates every need, from seamless check-in to discreet yet attentive staff. The aesthetic is undeniably Miami: sophisticated but lively, luxurious yet welcoming. Every design choice—from luxe booths snaked around round tabletops along the perimeter to the flashing beams of purple and blue lights cutting through the dimly lit space, flat-screen TVs keeping guests close to their favorite teams, and music that pulses through the room—adds to the feeling that this is not simply a place to grab a drink before the show but a destination unto itself.

The Menu

Korean Wings with garlic, sesame, and creamy yogurt-feta sauce served fresh

The Courtside Club menu leans into Pubbelly Sushi’s knack for dishes that intrigue with texture and detail. The Korean Wings arrive lacquered in a house-made sauce that hits sweet, savory, and just enough heat, finished with sesame and a tangy yogurt-feta drizzle that keeps every bite balanced. The Butter Krab Roll is deliciously decadent: kanikama tucked into silky goma soy paper, brushed with warm clarified butter, and brightened with a splash of ponzu.

For seafood purists, the Sake Aburi Roll pairs seared salmon with yuzu miso and a hint of truffle, while the Hot Summer Roll layers hamachi tartare and tuna with wasabi ponzu and fresh Fresno pepper for a clean, citrusy bite. And then there’s the Tuna Pizza, a crispy tortilla base piled with sashimi-grade tuna and a whisper of truffle oil.

Beyond these marquee items, guests can graze on lobster donuts glazed with citrus and honey, pillowy pork belly baos with kimchee and hoisin, or the signature Bigeye Tuna Crispy Rice with truffle oil and perfectly seared “arroz pegao.”

Seared crispy rice topped with spicy bigeye tuna is a Pubbelly classic.

Courtside’s bar program is executed with the same precision. Champagne cocktails spiked with guava, jalapeño-laced margaritas, and a sharp Zacapa Old Fashioned headline a menu of expertly mixed drinks. Ultra-premium spirits—from Clase Azul to Macallan 18—are also available tableside, along with a curated selection of wines and Champagnes by the glass or bottle. For those abstaining, there’s sparkling water, seltzers, and craft non-alcoholic options that match the cocktails in flair and presentation.

Miami has never lacked nightlife options, but the Courtside Club offers something entirely different. It’s a space where concertgoers can begin and end their evening in a setting as memorable as the performance itself. By merging the city’s love for luxury hospitality with the thrill of live entertainment, the Courtside Club is reshaping what it means to attend a show at Kaseya Center.

The Upgraded Access Pass includes early entry, in-and-out privileges, drinks, food, and after-hours entertainment at the Courtside Club.Yahoo CreatorNasha SmithNasha Smith is a journalist at the intersection of travel, sports, and pop culture, featured in publications nationwide and internationally.
