Nick Cannon’s Miami Beach restaurant and bar just moved, and now it’s five times bigger

Nick Cannon’s new Wild ‘N Out restaurant on Ocean Drive is bigger - but is it better?

You can find out for yourself. The new and improved Wild ‘N Out is open.

Located next door to the original space, the new Wild ‘N Out is two stories high, with 9,000 square feet of space, five times its original size. There’s also a DJ booth for late-night parties and party programming. Rumor has it Cannon will spin some of his favorite hits in the booth twice a month.

There are also big screen TVs, arcade games, a turf-covered outdoor space with lawn games like beer pong and foosball, plus an upstairs adults-only hookah lounge.

“After the success of our first Ocean Drive Wild ‘N Out restaurant, it only made sense to expand the concept to include games, more food and cocktail favorites, and more space to have fun,” Cannon said in a press release. “Our new flagship location will elevate the concept to greater heights while continuing to provide our guests with what they love about the restaurant in the first place.”

The original Wild ‘N Out had a sports bar vibe, with a menu of simple bar food like burgers and wings. (Note: there is not one thing wrong with burgers and wings. Not one thing, we tell you).

The new Wild ‘N Out menu has been expanded and focuses on seafood (Cannon himself helped to curate the menu). Think cheesy crab and spinach dip, lobster rolls and steamed crab legs and Cajun shrimp and chicken penne pasta. One dish involves popcorn shrimp over warm buttered popcorn, and we cannot stress how here for that we are.

Meat lovers won’t be forgotten though; they can order baby back ribs, a surf and turf special or a fried chicken sandwich. There are also deserts like a funnel cake drizzled with strawberry sauce and sugar, plus Oreo cookies-and-cream pie.

Drinks are a thing, too. Try the Wild N Out 305 Vice or the Drunken Watermelon cooler in a mason jar. The mason jars are a theme, and if you don’t believe me grab some friends and try the Spiked Southern Kool-Aid 2 Gallon Mason jar (it’s for four or more people). Tropical Jungle Juice comes in a giant wine glass with a bunch of straws.
