Tahiti Bar & Package Store
Miami Beach, Florida, United States
This bar was subject to a 1949 FBI investigation as a front for the mob.
The liquor license had been transferred to Marilyn, wife of David Yaras. David could not obtain a license himself because of his criminal record. The PD also believed the location was a front for Joe Massey, a hoodlum from Detroit, Michigan.
It's not clear exactly what "Tahiti Package Store" was, but since members of "the family" were involved in running the Tahiti Bar, I suppose the packages could have been just about anything.
Most recently as of 2020-21, this location was home to Studio 23, a nightclub, but it appears to have closed recently.
