COCONUT GROVE, Fla. — Roller skating, Miami bass music and late-night bites are rolling back into Coconut Grove as Bayskate Miami returns for a six-week residency at The Hangar.
The pop-up skating experience is taking over the venue through June 14, offering themed nights, food and cocktails, and a mix of old-school and modern Miami culture.
“What we wanted to do was keep the authentic feel of a skating rink and keep it classic with the music,” said Alex Macis, chief operative creative for Bayskate Miami. “It’s how we grew up, it’s a culture that’s really dear to us.”
Bayskate co-founder Marcos Macis said the concept began a decade ago in Bayfront Park as a way to activate public spaces.
“It was an idea to activate public spaces,” he said. “For those who don’t understand the Miami skate culture, there is a deep-rooted skate culture in Miami. So it’s not a disco themed experience. It’s actually a Miami experience.”
The 20,000-square-foot air-conditioned space features rotating themes each night, including TropiBass on Thursdays, disco nights on Fridays, Miami freestyle on Saturdays and open-format skating on Sundays.
“So Thursday nights we have TropiBass, which is a Latin fusion and Miami bass type thing. On Fridays we have our disco night, on Saturday we have our Miami freestyle night and on Sunday it’s kind of an open format,” Marcos Macis said.
Organizers said the experience also includes food and drinks, including wood-fired pizza and margarita flights.
“You’re going to have quality food, quality cocktails, we have margarita flights, wood oven fired pizza,” Alex Macis said. “We’ve got a mix of old school and new school so it’s going to be a good experience.”
Bayskate runs Thursday through Sunday, with ticket prices starting around $25, according to organizers. A $100 season skate pass is also available.
“Ticket prices start at around $25, $15 for kids during the day,” Marcos Macis said.
The founders say the goal is to keep skating accessible for all ages and skill levels.
“The thing is roller skating when we grew up is always something that is so inclusive, regardless of age or gender everybody was enjoying themselves in the same spot,” Alex Macis said.
“Bring your family, friends, date night, couples, families. I think we have a little bit for everybody. Hope to see you soon,” he added.
