Nick Jonas and John Varvatos to Launch Villa One Tequila Gardens in Miami Worldcenter
Miami is set to welcome a new pinnacle of culinary and nightlife innovation with the introduction of Villa One Tequila Gardens, a venture co-founded by pop sensation Nick Jonas and renowned menswear designer John Varvatos. This exciting addition aims to infuse the vibrant essence of Mexico's finest tequilas and mezcals into the heart of Downtown Miami, nestled within the sprawling $6 billion Miami Worldcenter development.
Slated for a grand opening in 2025, Villa One Tequila Gardens promises an exotic rooftop retreat spanning 12,294 square feet atop the 'Jewel Box' retail building at 150 NE 8th Street. This space is part of the 27-acre mixed-use Miami Worldcenter, which is rapidly transforming Miami's urban landscape with a rich blend of residential, commercial, and hospitality offerings. The Tequila Gardens will feature a diverse selection of over 150 tequilas and mezcals, complemented by Baja-style Mexican cuisine, offering guests a unique escape within the bustling city.
The venue will boast panoramic views of the Downtown Miami skyline, a raw bar, a tequila tasting room led by a dedicated tequila sommelier, and an intimate speakeasy operated by a yet-to-be-announced nightlife brand. This addition is poised to enhance the Miami Worldcenter's appeal, joining other recently announced dining and entertainment concepts such as Starbucks, Earls Kitchen + Bar, Sports & Social, Sixty Vines, and Bowlero.

Nitin Motwani emphasizes that Villa One Tequila Gardens will offer a unique rooftop experience that melds Mexican-inspired cocktails and cuisine with Miami's modern sophistication, providing a captivating destination within the city's dynamic core.
