Ball & Chain, for those that seek authentic experiences.
Nestled in the heart the most well-known neighborhood in Miami, Little Havana, Ball & Chain has a rich and vibrant history. Ball & Chain opened its doors in 1935 as a live music venue, hosting renowned performers like Billie Holiday, Count Basie, and Chet Baker, and many more. 

Like Miami itself, Ball and Chain ignites all the senses and the perfect venue for your next private event. You can feel the 80 years of history radiating from the walls. The moment you walk into the venue you are transported to a time when men adorned their best hats and women dressed to the nines, sipping cocktails, while enjoying the rhythmic beat of the best music the world had to offer. The rustic wood vaulted ceilings, hand-painted Cuban tile floors and the famous pineapple stage in our outdoor oasis, is just some of what makes Ball & Chain so unique.

Your guests will enjoy the sizzling flavors of Cuba, freshly fired in Ball & Chain’s Latin kitchen.   From traditional Cuban favorites to our chef’s twist on the islands tropical fare, even the most discerning foodie will be delighted.
