Boho Miami is closing its Edgewater courtyard after six years, throwing four consecutive farewell parties from Wednesday through Saturday before handing the keys to Aire, a new open-air house and electronic music venue set to open its doors on September 24. The space at 111 NE 20th St. will keep its intimate outdoor layout, but almost everything else — the bar, the DJ booth, the menu, and the overall vibe — is getting a reset under a team stacked with Miami nightlife veterans.
According to Miami New Times, Boho founder Jorge Moreno, who owns the venue, said the bohemian concept had simply run its course. Moreno is now helping develop Aire alongside Club Space founder Louis Puig, Poplife veteran Aramis Lorie, and collaborators John Fortini and Travis Rogers. The lineup of names behind the project reads like a shorthand history of Miami dance music, and the plan is for Aire to revolve around the DJ booth itself, with programming built on deep, rhythmic, and soulful house.
A Courtyard With a Long, Layered History
A Courtyard With a Long, Layered History The 111 NE 20th St. address has been associated with multiple concepts. Mr. Wright's Gold Digger Saloon was an outdoor restaurant and bar at 111 NE 20th St. also developed by Moreno, according to Check, Please! South Florida. Boho itself became known for its greenery-filled courtyard, cocktails, and late-night house sets over its six-year run, per the same Miami New Times report. City of Miami lobbyist registration records show that an entity tied to the address, 111 NE 20th St., LLC, had been securing alcohol beverage establishment approvals for the site as far back as December 2016, according to City of Miami records.
The property sits in Edgewater, where surrounding blocks continue to fill in with residential towers.
Puig Brings a 24-Hour Legacy to a New Neighborhood
Puig's involvement gives Aire a direct link to one of the most consequential chapters in Miami's clubbing history. In March 2000, he opened Club Space in Downtown Miami's Park West area and played a role in creating Miami's 24-hour nightclub district, as detailed by Miami New Times. The City of Miami later designated October 15, 2025 as “Louis Puig Day,” recognizing 50 years of his contributions to global and local nightlife, according to The National Law Review, which noted he has owned or operated more than ten major Miami nightlife venues across five decades.
Moreno's own path to nightlife development runs through the music industry. He won the Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2002 and was signed to Madonna's Maverick Records before shifting into hospitality with ventures like Moreno's Cuba and Boho House, according to his Wikipedia entry. Lorie, meanwhile, was a leading member of Poplife Entertainment, which began in 1999, per World Red Eye.
What Aire's Opening Weekend Looks Like
What Aire's Opening Weekend Looks Like Aire's opening weekend kicks off September 24 with a public preview featuring local talent, followed by a set from Gab Rhome on September 25. The weekend closes out September 26 with Steve Lawler scheduled to perform at the venue, according to Miami New Times.
Regular operations begin September 30, with the club running Wednesday through Saturday and admitting guests 21 and older. Wednesdays will feature collaborations with Pitch Park and Afrotek, Thursdays bring a weekly ladies' night with complimentary drinks for women until midnight, and Fridays and Saturdays will rotate through established DJs and promoters. More details are available at airemia.com or by calling the venue directly.
For Edgewater, a neighborhood that has rapidly filled with high-rise residential construction in recent years, Aire's arrival raises an open question about how a four-night-a-week nightclub will coexist with the growing residential base nearby — and whether the venue can carve out a lasting identity in a crowded Miami electronic music scene already dominated by larger downtown megaclubs.
