While some still find a night in the Wynwood Club District more urban than urbane, the investors behind Design District darling Sra. Martinez are tossing their chips on 34th and North Miami Avenue in hopes you’ll embrace a new out-of-the-way speakeasy inspired by the bygone screen siren Brigitte Bardot.

A sexy cinema star who’s lusty life is most often compared to American icon Marilyn Monroe, BardotMiami promises to showcase music, art, fashion, film, and literature but may prove to be as elusive as the temptress herself. For starters, there will be no sign out front, a gambit that’s proven successful in Manhattan but could be potentially lethal on an off-night in Wynwood.  The entrance to the club is hidden around the corner on 34th Street and sports a crimson canopy leading those in the know to the lounge.

Once inside, guests can mingle, play pool on a vintage table, go retro and roll a few games of backgammon or simply bask in the club’s insider vibe. Bardot’s website places a premium on good service, guest privacy and beauty in every form. “Bardot is the next generation bar experience. Inspired by the revolution in bars and social clubs between the 1920’s and 1960s… Bardot is the international sex icon whose body was the common language.”

That’s a tall order for a nightclub so dress accordingly! Expect a flurry of new business announcements in anticipation of the big money juggernaut that is Art Basel storming our beaches December 2-5.

BardotMiami is located under the red canopy just off North Miami Avenue at 34th Street. The club opens Thursday October 15. www.bardotmiami.com
