David Grutman knows everyone, and everyone - or rather, anyone who's anyone - knows him. From a humble start as a 21-year-old bartender at a restaurant in the Aventura Mall just north of Miami to today, partnering with the owner of that same restaurant almost two decades later on a globally recognised nightlife brand. Grutman is credited with singlehandedly transforming the global nightlife and hospitality scene. His collective business properties across Miami, Dallas, and Las Vegas include a Japanese-inspired steakhouse in partnership with Bad Bunny and some of the highest-grossing-per-square-foot restaurants in the country.
