Private Event Venue in Wynwood Miami
The White Elephant Cocktail Bar — Where Every Occasion Becomes an Experience

Rent The Whole Bar — Wynwood's Only Full Private Buyout Cocktail Experience
No shared space. No strangers at the next table. When you book The White Elephant, the entire bar, patio, and DJ booth belong to you and your guests — for the whole night.
Most Wynwood venues fit hundreds of people because they're built to hold multiple parties at once — you get a roped-off section while the rest of the room carries on without you. The White Elephant works differently. A full buyout means the entire venue is exclusively yours: one crowd, one vibe, zero strangers wandering through your event. It's the difference between renting a corner of a room and owning the whole room.
Not a Club. An Event Space with Nightlife Soul.
The White Elephant Cocktail Bar is Wynwood's most intimate private event venue — a hidden-gem cocktail bar and covered tropical patio in the heart of Miami's Arts District, designed for elevated celebrations, brand experiences, and cocktail-style social gatherings of every kind.
Whether you're planning a corporate buyout, a birthday cocktail party, a brand activation, a bachelorette celebration, or a wedding rehearsal dinner, The White Elephant offers something no hotel ballroom or generic event hall can: an atmosphere that feels genuinely curated, a cocktail program built around craft, and a room where every guest feels like they've arrived somewhere worth remembering.
Full and partial venue buyouts available. Every night. Reservations via SevenRooms.
The Best Private Event Venue in Wynwood Miami
Most private event venues in Miami fall into two categories: too formal or too generic. Hotel ballrooms, restaurant private dining rooms, and warehouse event spaces all share the same problem — they feel like a venue rather than an experience. Guests arrive, spend time, and leave without the place itself having contributed anything to the occasion.
The White Elephant was built to be different. Our signature covered tropical patio with a partial retractable roof creates a unique, visually striking setting that works for both intimate evening gatherings and full private buyout events. The speakeasy-inspired interior — warm lighting, bold design elements, lush greenery, and a playful yet sophisticated atmosphere — creates the kind of environment that makes an event feel elevated before a single cocktail is poured.
Every private event at The White Elephant includes access to our full cocktail program, our kitchen's handcrafted food menu, and our curated music experience — because a great event is never just about the venue. It's about everything happening inside it.
