Vinos Wine Bar and Cocktail Lounge

Clayton Chelley may not have fantastic timing — he signed a lease on the new site of Vinos on Las Olas about a week in advance of the March coronavirus-closing of South Florida bars — but he does know how to make a great position to consume.

The new Vinos will open at 901 E. Las Olas Blvd., just down the street from the aged site (922 E Las Olas Blvd.), which has been torn down. (A spokesman for the Las Olas Corporation, owners of the assets, mentioned the redevelopment program for the land is however remaining deemed.)

Chelley suggests the new Vinos will be completely ready to open up in 3 or four weeks.

There is no way to re-generate all of the personal comforts of the beloved authentic, specifically the European coziness of the down-the-alley courtyard, but he is going to try.

“It was just a modest bar, but that was the glory of it,” Chelley says.

The warm woods and hues will be repeated in the new place, the candle wall has been re-designed and the bar will once more be topped by sections of wooden wine crates.

There will be an out of doors lounge region, included this time, an improvement over the outdated courtyard.

Inside of, the primary bar will be augmented by two wine rooms, each individual that contains a pair of high-leading tables with seating for six or eight. A independent space in a Victorian structure will be obtainable for private capabilities.

Hidden at the rear of an inconspicuous door will be a large-finish speakeasy that offers the new locale its identify: Vinos Wine Bar and Cocktail Lounge. Chelley suggests a template for the room can be discovered in Hollywood, in which Chelley past 12 months opened Sidecar Speakeasy at the Hotsy-Totsy Bar and Grill.

“This will be like no other bar on the road,” Chelley says. “It’s not likely to be pretentious. It is not heading to be noisy. There is heading to be seriously good minor nooks you can sit in.”

Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar

The makeover of the stately Spanish-tiled two-story setting up, once home to the flagship shop of the iconic Maus & Hoffman fashion store, was delayed by COVID and style changes to boost outside seating and a lot more conveniently accommodate takeout services.

When it opens, Cuba Libre will aid form an especially lively intersection, signing up for American Social and the outside Marlin Bar at the Tommy Bahama keep. No real truth to the rumor that Funds Just one Café on the other corner is searching for a mixologist. Check out CubaLibreRestaurant.com.

Eddie V’s Key Seafood

The indication for Eddie V’s Key Seafood has long gone up on the fa 1/4 u00e7ade of the new 46-story condominium tower at 100 Las Olas, but it is probably to be late February or early March before it opens, a spokesperson claimed Monday.
