Harlem Nights NYE Party

A New Year’s Eve celebration at The Pool Hall above Red Rooster Overtown channels the spirit of Harlem nightlife with live music, vintage style and a historic setting tied to some of the greats. The restored speakeasy, once Clyde Killens’ famed billiards hall, sets the tone with its 1950s roots and connection to performers including Aretha Franklin, Sam Cooke and Billie Holiday.

Harlem Nights NYE Party takes place Wednesday, December 31, starting at 9 p.m. Presented by Miami Jazz Booking, the event features vocalist Nikki Kidd performing music spanning the 1920s through the 1960s. Guests are encouraged to dress in sharp, era-inspired attire, underscoring the room’s retro ambiance. The party is 21+ and offers early-bird and general admission ticket options.

The experience can be paired with dinner downstairs at Red Rooster Overtown, which offers both à la carte early seating and a late prix-fixe service with a midnight toast. For those planning to attend both the dinner and the party, separate reservations and tickets are required.

Steeped in local history and restored as a speakeasy lounge, The Pool Hall provides an atmospheric backdrop for a night that blends music, celebration and a connection to Miami’s midcentury cultural corridor.
