The hospitality group behind Mary Lou’s is expanding in the Nora District with a glamorous rooftop destination and an intimate, theatrical nightlife salon.
West Palm Beach’s nightlife scene is about to get even more glamorous.
Mama Hospitality, the group behind the celebrated supper club Mary Lou’s, is doubling down on the city with two new destinations set to debut before the end of 2026.
First up is Lillys, an elevated rooftop escape atop The Nora Hotel, opening in November. Blending poolside luxury with sophisticated dining and cocktails, the concept will feature three distinct experiences.
Lillys Pool will offer daytime lounging and dining, while Bar Lilly promises an intimate aperitif lounge perfect for sunset cocktails. Cafe Lilly, developed in collaboration with Starr Restaurants, will anchor the rooftop with a refined, full-service dining experience.
Expect live music, curated performances and a social scene designed to transition effortlessly from afternoon to evening.
A New Era of Nightlife
December brings Macs 44, an intimate, 80-seat entertainment salon at 825 N. Railroad Avenue in the Nora District.
Spanning 3,600 square feet, the venue promises something decidedly different: theatrical evenings where live music, vocalists, choreography and immersive performances take center stage.
Designed by Mama Hospitality co-founder Alex Melillo and Jason Volenec of Volenec Studios, the space will channel old-world glamour with a contemporary edge.
The menu will emphasize indulgence, featuring caviar, raw seafood, elevated bar snacks and late-night favorites. A private liquor locker program will allow regulars to keep their preferred bottles on-site.
“Every night will be intentionally programmed, from the music and choreography to the way the energy of the room evolves,” Melillo said.
Named in honor of Michael “Mr. Mac” McEvoy, an accomplished executive, opera singer and grandfather of two Mama Hospitality founders,
Macs 44 celebrates the intersection of music, hospitality and sophisticated entertaining.
The venue is expected to operate Tuesday through Sunday, 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.
With Mary Lou’s, Lillys and Macs 44, Mama Hospitality is positioning West Palm Beach as a destination for a new generation of luxury nightlife.
