You’ll want to return on Friday nights as well as DJ German commands the turntable to lay down a South Beach club vibe from 8 p.m. to midnight. One Saturday a month, he’ll bring in “Mister Trombone” Wayne Perry with his smooth brand of upbeat funk, and the tribal-infused hand percussion stylings of Ryan Anthony. Admission is free to experience this power, spontaneity and funk while indulging in the craft cocktails and Nibbles menu offerings that have earned Gather a devoted crowd since its opening in October.
Every Sunday from 6-10 p.m. is Industry Sunday. Restaurant and hospitality folks will receive a complimentary small bite from the Nibbles menu with any drink order. Night owls enjoy Reverse Happy Hour from 10 p.m.-midnight on Friday and Saturday — and they can sleep in, since breakfast is served until 3 p.m. Sundays. Regular happy hour is every Tuesday through Friday from 2-6 p.m., offering $5 craft beer, $5 house wine, $5 call liquors and $8 craft cocktails. Wine Wednesday offers half-price on bottles $50 and under starting at 4 p.m.
Gather has quickly become popular for its inventive casual cuisine, craft cocktails and Nibbles, like the crispy duck wings with tropical fruit-chipotle glaze; Marta’s beef empanadas, charcuterie, seared octopus, spicy lime and cilantro shrimp; and cumin grilled lamb lollipop with yogurt eggplant tzatziki. Daily features and a full dinner menu are also served, including the popular lamb meatball spaghetti, the roasted porcini risotto, the smoked salmon tartine and the sous vide veal chop.
