It has been a derelict for decades. Edited August 22, 2016 by miamijimf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I could be wrong, but I think the Fairwind is gone now. Seems like I remember something different being there last May (2016). Can anyone verify this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Fairwind was completely demolished - looked a hell of a state in 2014 In fact a lot of Collins did in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt5 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 I find amazing the scenes they shot Sonny and Jack at the bar and where Sonny saw Jack selling his pool supplies - is still not only standing but has been restored. From 2003 as long as I can remember this was derilict and a hell of a state - so nice to see and to visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 It is in the SoBe protected zone where local laws prohibit demolishing or changing the front of art deco buildings. But unfortunately exceptions have been approved. It would be nice if someone could check on the ground to see if the Fairwind is still there.

Matt5 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) I'm in Miami at the moment and yesterday visited the "Jack of All Trades" location at 2360 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. The Continental Hotel interior was seen as Sonny "assisted" his cousin and later in the episode the Waterside bar also at the same property (with the 23rd street bridge seen in the background )as Sonny met Jack for a drink Edited January 4, 2017 by Matt5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jim I was there Yesterday the original structure is still there but a compete empty shell. Also The Cardozo ("Brothers Keeper" / "Redemption in Blood" )on Ocean Drive is closed Edited January 4, 2017 by Matt5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamijimf Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Thanks Matt, but there is hope for it. See Hopefully the Cardozo is just closed for renovation. According to my info it is owned by superstar Gloria Estefan, who is far from broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airtommy Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Wow, nice! It doesn't look like they've changed the bar at all, at least in its basic configuration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe renovation - they have also boarded up the front steps of The Carlyle with big floor to ceiling menu boards ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref the Fairwind I think it will reopen but is still being constructed but very early stages - in fact it has come on very little since 2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airtommy Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) The space that was Mike's World of Waves on Miami Vice is now a restaurant called "The Continental". I had the sliders and they were fantastic! http://www.continentalmiami.com/ When they are haggling over the price, Jack walks out the door to pretend to talk to his manager. That door and wall are now gone. Edited July 4, 2017 by airtommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 A nice current day shot of El Jardin House, Main Highway in Coconut Grove. Miami Vice producers sure like this stretch on the Main Highway- Anchorage Way, Coconut Grove in mid to late Season 5. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
