Villa One Tequila Gardens, now open in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, felt like the next evolution for the musician, in an effort to continue creating exciting experiences for his fans and patrons alike.

“Our motto became ‘Life as it Should Be,’ which was really about great experiences with great people, quality music, food, tequila,” Jonas tells The Hollywood Reporter.

“Bringing that all to life in a tangible way through the tequila gardens was kind of a dream of ours, and it’s incredible now to be in this spot and see it all come together.”

Jonas and Varvatos aren’t stopping with San Diego, let alone California. They have a pop-up in Las Vegas, and plan to expand to Los Angeles, New York City and Miami in the upcoming year.

And while the L.A. spot isn’t finalized yet, Jonas promises “it’s a really great location.”

They’re looking at locations with good-sized venues for them to host events in places that people will love, and that will allow guests to discover over a hundred types of mezcals and tequilas, with plans to build on their menus even more.

While each Villa One Tequila Gardens location will have similar food and drink options, each spot will have touches of uniqueness.

Jonas got the inspiration for the menu from his travels, where he’s been collecting his favorite dishes from different spots he’s come across and jotting them down.

Aside from his tequila ventures, Jonas spends a big chunk of his time touring and making music with his brothers, Joe and Kevin.
