Adjacent to the main bar, this sophisticated setting invites guests to explore and select from a curated selection of their favorite brands and vintages, making it the perfect choice for celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying a taste of luxury.

Extraordinary Design Transformation
Designed by Carlos Rodriguez of Escala Forma, the reimagined Marion pays homage to its past while embracing a dynamic new future. Rodriguez explains, “The ‘New Marion’ is a reinvigorated version of a beloved neighborhood gem. Our design celebrates Marion’s rich history while infusing it with modern sophistication. Inspired by iconic venues like Studio 54, we’ve used bold colors and playful elements to create a space that’s both familiar and refreshingly new. Marion’s evolution mirrors Miami’s dynamic spirit, promising guests unforgettable nights that reflect the city’s essence.”

The redesign introduces a sophisticated yet playful theme, featuring rich pinks and cozy tones to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Upon entering, guests will be greeted by fifteen custom Murano flower chandeliers, imported from Italy, which gracefully enhance the venue’s youthful and dynamic color scheme. As the night unfolds, the ceiling will transform into a colorful LED-paneled disco, amplifying the electric nightlife ambiance for which Marion is renowned. The exterior has been entirely revamped to provide a renewed open-air dining ambiance, where lush foliage and comfortable seating enhance the venue’s radiant interior.
