La Covacha
La Covacha was a restaurant, nightclub, and live music venue in the Doral/Sweetwater area of west Miami-Dade, Florida. Founded in 1989 by Aurelio F. Rodríguez and his mother, Teresa Rodríguez, on the site of a family truck stop, it became a prominent Latin nightlife venue, covered by Billboard, Newsweek, and The New York Times.
Local and national coverage regularly tied La Covacha to Miami's Latin music boom and the "Generation Ñ" era of the 1990s and 2000s, describing it as a rustic roadhouse-style club that attracted a pan-Latin clientele with salsa, merengue, vallenato, rock en español, Latin pop and alternative music. By the 2000s the club had been recognized in "Best of Miami" lists and travel guides, and served as a stage for touring acts from across Latin America and Spain.
The venue closed in 2017.
