Gramps Getaway: Miami’s Legendary Bar Finds a New Home on the Water
Spotlight on the partnership with Gramps Wynwood, The Lazy Oyster pop-up, and why Rickenbacker Marina is becoming a dining destination.
Gramps Getaway: Wynwoods Beloved Bar Sets Nautical Roots at Rickenbacker Marina
When the iconic Gramps Wynwood announced it would close its doors in January 2026 after 13 years of live music, comedy nights, drag shows, and legendary pizza—longtime locals sighed, “Wynwood has lost its soul” . The loss was truly felt across the Miami nightlife scene.
But here’s the good news: Gramps Getaway isn’t just here to stay—it’s thriving. Nestled right on the water at Rickenbacker Marina, this tiki-inspired waterfront destination brings the heart of Wynwood’s cultural energy to Biscayne Bay
Gramps Getaway - Available with Dockside Views!
Gramps Getaway retains all the edgy, welcoming personality that made its Wynwood venue a cult favorite. It’s now a laid-back, boat-accessible retreat with skyline views, sea breezes, and that nostalgic Gramps vibe intact. A “come-in-your-flip-flops” spirit—only now with a waterfront soundtrack.
Where the Lazy Oyster Sings (and Slings)
The marina’s food scene features The Lazy Oyster pop-up, serving fresh raw oysters, buttery lobster rolls, and coastal favorites sure to satisfy sea-to-table cravings. Pair that with icy cocktails or a cold beer, and you’ve got the kind of combo that boaters, families, and locals can’t resist.
Miami Recognition (with a Dockside Twist)
Gramps Getaway took home “Best Waterfront Dining” in the 2024 Eater Miami Awards—specifically praised for its tiki-style charm, carefully curated menu, and professional execution without the waterfront markup .
While the Wynwood location won as a “Best Gay Bar” in the Miami New Times 2020 Best of Miami awards , it’s clear the spirit of Gramps continues strongly at its new home.
What Makes it Shine
Live Music & Local Events — DJs, bands, and themed nights bring back the creative programming Gramps is known for—this time with docks and waves in the background.
True Local Dining — From oysters to frozen drinks to craft cocktails, it’s an elevated marina menu without ever feeling pretentious.
Dock, Dine, and Unwind — Easy to reach by land or sea, it’s the perfect place to relax before or after a day on Biscayne Bay.
