Mokai is named after the New Zealand canyon famous for the filming of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and King Kong. Why?? We’re not sure…but we do know that it just may be the sexiest party in all of South Florida on a Tuesday night (watch out Delano). High-end clubs and lounges on South Beach tend to be difficult to get in regularly, but there are only a very select few that can truthfully say they take exclusivity to another level…but would you expect any less from the people who brought us Mynt?? There are only two ways
But once you are past that iron velvet rope, that’s when all of the pretensions end. Hidden safely away from pesky paparazzi, these celebs, VIPs & high rollers are here to have fun. Tuesday’s DJ supplies powerful mixes that fuel nonstop dancing and because it is so small and cozy, the vibe feels like an intimate house party being thrown in an A-lister’s NYC loft. Groups of people mesh into each other and there is none of that cliquish behavior seen at other Miami clubs. This isn’t a see and be seen joint because everyone is somebody here… and when we say the entire club is one big VIP we mean it…it looks like 90% of the room is taken up by those über fabulous VIP tables with their big, black, beefy wrap around leather couches (is that alligator skin??) and every single one of them is taken. Apparently being exclusive isn’t the only way that the owners wanted to stand out. Most of the other clubs on the beach are decorating with whites and metals, Mokai bathed its spot in deep dark jewel tones, huge heavy VIP sections, stone walls and creative lighting. Even the staff is designer in their custom Hugo Boss attire… and there is plenty of staff to make sure that your glass is always full or that you never run out of table mixers. Now if you could only get on that list…
Why It’s Hot: Despite being ultra exclusive, Mokai has one of the best vibes we have seen on the beach. Whether you plan to dance the night away or just chill with friends, this club makes it easy to do both.
Why It’s Not: Warning, unless you are able to grab one of the quick-selling tables or can secure a coveted spot on their guest list, the closest you will ever get to the inside of Mokai is by reading this review.

Anyone that is African American don't think about going here if its more than 3 of y'all...7 of us went here and we were told that it was to many of us because we are black we couldn't get in...sad part is we were celebrating and was going to spend a lot of money drinks/bottles. worst experience that I've had on Miami thus far...their lost but still the principle the oppression days are supposed to be over

Para los que creen que en Miami todo es color de rosa.. si deciden salir de fiesta hay algunos lugares a donde definitivamente no deben ir. Por ejemplo Mokai Lounge o tan solo MOKAI(en Miami Beach). La atencion es una verdadera mierda, desde el portero de la discoteca con auges de importante hasta los camareros detrás de la barra. Si ... quieres vivir tu mism@ la experiencia de esperar por horas para que un portero clasista te deje entrar a gastarte al rededor de 200$ por persona min., te hable en francés, te quite de la fila como si de un mendigo se tratara y que una vez dentro te traten como basura e incluso se piensen el si deben o no servirte una copa.. entonces es el lugar que estabas buscando.Como aquí en Miami cada nada cambian los nombres a las discos pero siguen siendo las mismas os dejo la dirección para que vallan sin duda..235 23rd Street Miami Beach, FL 33139
ah! y después se sienten mejor que cualquier club en Ibiza.. que equivocados que están! -
