The Forge is a nightclub / restaurant on Arthur Godfrey Road in the city of Miami Beach, Florida.

[1] In 1977, Meyer Lansky's stepson, Richard Schwartz, was charged with the murder of his drinking companion, Craig Teriaca, in the bar at The Forge.

[2] A lawsuit by Teriaca's widow against The Forge, alleging that the restaurant had provided inadequate security, ended in a mistrial in 1980.

[5] The following year, the restaurant's extensive wine collection was severely damaged in Hurricane Andrew; this led to an extended legal battle between the restaurant and its insurers over the value of the collection, eventually settled in 1997 by a $2.75 million payment.

[7][8] The restaurant closed in 2009 for a year-long renovation, and reopened in 2010 with a redesigned interior by Francois Frossard.
