Mischief Starts with Mi Chini: Miami’s Hottest New Cocktail Bar Has Arrived

Wanna Go on a Date?
There’s a new vibe lighting up Miami’s nights—and her name is Mi Chini.
Nestled behind Phuc Yea in the heart of MiMo, this sultry new cocktail lounge is your late-night secret weapon. Created by the award-winning duo Chef Cesar Zapata and Ani Meinhold (the masterminds behind Phuc Yea and Lcky.Chkn), Mi Chini is where Latin soul meets Asian flair, wrapped in mood lighting and spiked with the kind of soundtrack that makes you stay for “just one more.”
🍸 What Is Mi Chini?
Think: a lush, low-lit escape that feels like a love letter to the night. Open Thursday through Saturday, 8PM–1AM, Mi Chini is not just a bar—it’s a whole moment. With a 10-foot marble bar, high-top seating, and curated vibes, this is the type of place you plan your outfit around. Whether you’re kicking off a girls’ night or slipping away for a romantic rendezvous, Mi Chini sets the mood.
🎶 The Soundtrack Hits Different
Music is the heartbeat here. Curated by Grammy-winning producer LunchMoney Lewis, the playlists flow from salsa vieja to golden-era hip hop, R&B, and deep house. It’s nostalgic, sexy, and all soul—exactly what you want to hear while sipping something strong under neon reflections.
🍽️ Small Bites, Big Energy
Hungry? Chef Cesar brings the heat with late-night bites that hit like comfort food, but make it couture. We’re talking:
Colombian Empanadas with Aji Nước Chấm
PY Egg Noodles in Champagne Sauce
Dirty Tots topped with Caviar (because we’re bougie and bold)
🍹 Cocktails with Personality
These are not your average drinks. Mi Chini’s cocktail program blends rare spirits with tropical, herbal, and aromatic flavors. Expect layered creations with ingredients like pandan, lychee, yuzu, and passion fruit, all as deliciously extra as the crowd.
✨ So, Why Mi Chini?
Aside from being your new favorite nightcap spot, Mi Chini is also a deeply personal project. Named after Ani Meinhold’s nickname—a mix of her Puerto Rican and Asian roots—Mi Chini is a space built on culture, connection, and a little chaos (the sexy kind).
