House Sundays has its Grand Opening tonight. The venue is a house that has been turned into a nightclub and event space. They opened about eight months ago and have been asking Edison Farrow / SoBeSocialClub.com to be involved with a gay night since they opened. But, at the time he already had three weekly events and was not able to add any new nights to his schedule. Recently, Buck15 got involved with the house. They now have one house which they call “Buck House”. There are several different rooms. So, it can have a different feel each week depending on which rooms are open. There is a front yard with lounge chairs, and a front porch. One side has a bar and DJ. The other side has a bar in the former dining room and a DJ by the fireplace. The upstairs has been transformed into a stunning art gallery. After taking a vacation for the month of June, Edison is starting all new events. He has been meeting with new venues and is looking forward to launching exciting new events for the gay community of South Florida. Farrow says “When I saw the house, I knew that my friends and customers would love it. I have been there several times for the straight nights and the venue and vibe are magnificent.” The house is located just off of 17th Street and Biscayne Boulevard. It is the first house behind the Burger King. It is three blocks north of the Arsht Center and two blocks west of the Venetian Causeway to Miami Beach. The address is 221 NE 17th Street Miami, FL.
