In a recent City Commission meeting held on October 17, 2023, the North Miami Beach Commission discussed a proposal to extend the operating hours for Platinum South, Inc., doing business as Dean's Gold. The request seeks to allow the establishment to serve alcohol until 6 AM, an extension from the standard cutoff time of 2 AM.

Edward Ng, the interim community development director, presented the proposal, emphasizing the potential benefits of the extended hours for the local economy and nightlife. The attorney representing Dean's Gold was also present to address any questions from the commissioners.

The discussion highlighted the importance of balancing community interests with business needs, as the commission weighs the implications of longer operating hours on public safety and neighborhood dynamics. The outcome of this proposal could set a precedent for similar requests in the future, reflecting the city's approach to nightlife and economic development.

As the commission continues to deliberate on this matter, the decision will be crucial for local businesses and residents alike, shaping the future of entertainment options in North Miami Beach.
