Inspired by Spain’s one-of-a-kind tapas scene, Bulla Gastrobar by Centurion Restaurant Group (CRG), opened in bustling Aventura, Florida, just before the winter holidays. With the arrival of the new year, it’s time to officially welcome and celebrate the city’s newest culinary arrival.
The festivities will include both a bevy of consumer-facing promotions as well as an invitation-only soiree. More on that in a bit, but first:
Diners looking to get in on the festivities will not be missing out. On Thursday, January 15, beginning at 6PM guests can enjoy celebration specials including an extended cocktail happy hour, a $25 bounce back gift card (first 50 guests), and complimentary samples of Bulla’s to-die-for paella (until it runs out). Guests are also invited to join the ribbon-cutting ceremony on the patio at 6:30 pm. In addition to the specials, Bulla offers a variety of weekly offerings. Happy Hour, available daily from 4PM to 7PM, features select wines 50% off, bottled beers and pint drafts $3 off, house specialty cocktails and martinis for $10, house liquors for $9, and sangrias for $8. Lunch specials offer two courses for $21.50 or three courses for $26.50, perfect for a quick midday break. On weekends, the Bottomless Brunch pairs a three-course meal with unlimited mimosas and sangrías.
For invited guests and media only: The Aventura Chamber of Commerce will host a grand opening celebration on Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 6PM. Aventura Mayor Howard S. Weinberg, Esq., along with other elected officials, including commissioners, the city manager and police chief, will join CRG President Carlos Centurion for toasts and treats. Bulla Gastrobar’s expansion into Aventura marks an exciting milestone for the brand, which now includes eight locations across Florida and the eastern United States, with continued growth on the horizon.
Consisting of 5,531 square feet of indoor/outdoor dining space and seating 253, the Aventura space features a mix of familiar brand elements and fresh new textures and materials, blending rustic and contemporary design with an energetic open kitchen and a welcoming ambiance. The menu features the same favorites from cured meats and cheeses, patatas bravas and croquetas de jamón to grilled octopus, paella, and seasonal chef favorites curated by Culinary Director Felix Plasencia.
