Prohibition-Style Speakeasy Red Phone Booth Opens in Brickell

The 1920s are calling to say Red Phone Booth, Miami's newest members-only speakeasy and lounge, is now open in Brickell.

Another members-only club has landed in Miami, but this one requires you to enter through a red telephone booth.

Red Phone Booth, created by Weber Bros. Hospitality, is taking it up a notch with a prohibition-style speakeasy that can only be accessed through a restored, bright red London phone booth.

The speakeasy, which already has locations in  Atlanta, Nashville, and Dallas, has now made its way down to Brickell.

Inconspicuously situated behind the Financial District Station Metromover, guests are greeted by — you guessed it — a red phone booth that is only accessible through a secret phone number. How does one get the phone number? From a current member in any of the speakeasy's three other locations, or, from a (very) friendly hotel concierge.

 

 

 

Once finally inside, guests are greeted by a multi-level, 6,000-square-foot enclave that is as intimate as it is surprising. (Because who knew there was still so much real state left in Brickell?) Nevertheless, the decor transports guests to a different era with vintage-inspired pieces, like 100-year-old reclaimed wood walls, that takes them back to the 1920s.

On the first floor of Red Phone Booth in Brickell guests can find a walk-in humidor that houses a selection of more than 200 cigars.

On the first floor, guests can find a honey onyx bar surrounded by fireplaces, custom Italian leather couches, hand-painted ceilings, and a walk-in humidor that houses a selection of more than 200 cigars.

The furnishings continue throughout the second floor, dubbed the "Mafia Room," which features a private bar, pool table, poker table, and flat-screen TVs.

However, aesthetics aside, the real reason you go to a speakeasy is the cocktails, and this spot is no exception.

Cool concept, There is a speak easy in Seattle. A big bustling bar that's too overcrowded where you walk to the back corner and get on the pay phone and tell them how many in your party. They let you know if its a go and a big vault door will open up and let you in to a place with only a few people. All homemade bathtub booze, prohibition style.  I like the idea of a cigar lounge like this that takes a little puzzle to get in or find it.

It says Members only club, perhaps regular folks can't even enter.
