Miami Beach, FL – April 21, 2023 – Get ready to be transported back in time to the glamorous and sizzling days of Miami Beach! The brand-new Rum Room and Venu, located in the historic Miami Beach Clubhouse, have swung open their doors and are ready to dazzle locals and visitors alike.

But the magic doesn’t stop there! Next door, you’ll find the intimate event space, Venu, with its flexible indoor-outdoor configuration for up to 200 guests. This gem exudes the same Old World and tropical 1920s Florida charm, making it the ultimate spot for your next special occasion.
