Nick Jonas to open rooftop Mexican restaurant and tequila bar at Miami Worldcenter
The latest dining-and-drinking addition to Miami Worldcenter brings together a Jonas brother, a popular menswear designer and great views of the city skyline.
Singer Nick Jonas and designer John Varvatos have co-founded Villa One Tequila Gardens, a new Baja-style Mexican restaurant and high-end tequila and mezcal bar, at the $6 billion mixed-use development at 1010 NE Second Ave. in downtown Miami.
Villa One Tequila Gardens will occupy almost 13,000 square feet of rooftop space. It will feature a raw bar and more than 150 tequila and mezcal options. There will also be a tequila tasting room with a tequila sommelier and a speakeasy that will be operated by a nightlife brand to be announced later.
“Villa One Tequila Gardens will create a unique entertainment destination within Miami Worldcenter with a special rooftop experience unlike anything else in downtown,” said Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates, in a statement.
Villa One Tequila Gardens, which is scheduled to open sometime in 2025, will join a slew of restaurants, bars and entertainment venues scheduled to open at the property, a 27-acre mixed use development. Its neighbors will include Juvia, the rooftop restaurant and bar formerly in Miami Beach; Maple & Ash from Chicago; Serafina from New York and Sixty Vines from Texas; and the national chain Earls Kitchen + Bar.
Also coming to the development, which features 300,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and entertainment space, are an Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza & Wings/BurgerFi concept, plus the entertainment venues Sports & Social and the bowling concept Lucky Strike. A permanent location for the Museum of Ice Cream is planned, too.
Open now at Worldcenter are Chef Michael Beltran’s upscale French spot, Brasserie Laurel, Chug’s Express and El Vecino Cigar & Cocktail Bar.
One of the largest privately owned and developed urban real estate developments in Florida, Miami Worldcenter also features residential, commercial and hotel space and includes World Square, a 20,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza and park.
