The Van Dyke's Facebook commentary acknowledges the issue is real, but neither denies or affirms an outcome.  https://www.facebook.com/VanDykeCafe

Some of the venue's ardent fans including Charlotte Libov, a well-known local music and culture advocate, have created a Save The Van Dyke Cafe on Lincoln Road Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-The-Van-Dyke-Cafe-on-Lincoln-Road/239037629603427. We recommend following that page for updates and more information.

Spris: http://www.spris.cc/  (Lincoln Road Mall)

The closing of this venue would effectively close down live jazz on Lincoln Road Mall. The Arena Lounge ( http://arenamiamibeach.com ), which recently opened, may be the alternative destination for those looking for live jazz in South Beach.
