Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley, the nationally recognized, Black-owned dining destination celebrated for elevated Southern comfort food, handcrafted Kocktails, and its signature “Welcome Home” hospitality experience, will officially open its newest location in Miami’s vibrant Wynwood neighborhood on January 17, 2026.

“Everything matters — from the way guests are greeted when they walk through the door to the food on the table and the energy in the room,” said Kevin Kelley, founder of Kitchen + Kocktails by Kevin Kelley. “Miami is a city built on culture, creativity, and community, and Wynwood felt like the right place for us to continue telling our story and welcoming people in.”
