Once again, I-Beam Design had the great pleasure of collaborating with Billy Gilroy and the Employee Only Miami team to adapt and transform the distinctive prohibition era ambiance of Employees Only New York’s original West Village speakeasy to the historic Coral House at the Washington Park Hotel in South Beach.
As the third Employees Only location, the design of Employees Only Miami brings the inimitable speakeasy experience to South Beach where the distinctive Art Deco details, romantic lighting and transformative ambiance resonate
beautifully with the authentic Deco architecture of the surrounding Washington Park Hotel and 1929 historic Coral House where Employees Only Miami is housed,
One enters through the porch of one of the last surviving homes built from local coral into a distinctly Miami inspired fortune teller’s lair and behind the unsuspecting red curtain into another time and place where the cocktails are divine, the service is unparalleled and the food pays tribute to an era where quality was uncompromising.
Employees Only Miami was voted amongst the Best American Cocktail Bars 2018 by Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards and the Diner’s Choice Award 2018, adding to a long list of awards for the Employees Only brand.
