Hey Vero Beach, get ready because our sleepy barrier island paradise is about to hit the big time. That's right—Vero Beach is no longer just the quiet gem of the Treasure Coast. We're getting our very own exclusive, members-only supper club that screams sophistication, just like the elite spots in Palm Beach and Miami. Say hello to The White Pelican Club—the upscale private dining and social haven everyone's buzzing about!
Picture this: You're stepping into a timeless sanctuary right at Pelican Plaza on A1A, where velvet textures wrap around you, low lighting sets the mood, classic golden-age tunes play softly, and every pour from the distinguished whiskey lounge feels like a ritual. Refined indoor and outdoor spaces, seasonal menus crafted with guest chefs, private tastings, exclusive events—this isn't your average bar or restaurant. It's a refined escape designed for lingering conversations, indulgence, and that effortless luxury vibe that makes nights out unforgettable.
The team behind it (including managing member Rick Engel) is channeling the glamour of Palm Beach hotspots and Manhattan evenings, but keeping it right here in Vero Beach's heart. No more driving south for that high-end experience—it's coming to us!
The Latest Scoop (As of Early March 2026)
After some frustrating delays last year (permitting hurdles and that pesky "Stop Work" notice from September 2025 over building permits), things are finally moving forward fast. In February, Rick Engel told local reporters they're confident the last issues—mainly the Indian River County building permit—would wrap up soon. The big news? They're eyeing a summer 2026 opening (think June through August), after fine-tuning the food and spirits program.
They missed the 2025-2026 winter season, but that just means the launch will be even more polished and worth the wait. The official site (whitepelicanclub.com) is already live with stunning previews of the Atrium, Liquor Library, Club Room, and Patio—pure elegance!
Membership is super exclusive and limited (individual spots around $3,500—$1,000 initiation + $2,500 annual—check the site for exact details and to apply). This is members-only—no walk-ins—so if you want in on Vero's newest elite scene, now's the time to act.
Vero Beach, this is our moment. We're stepping up to the big leagues with a supper club that rivals the best in Palm Beach and Miami. Don't get left behind while everyone else is sipping whiskey in velvet luxury!
