Editorial Review for Mokai – by Rick Munarriz
In Short
At just 4,000 square feet and with capacity capped at 220 club-happy patrons, the lounge is an intimate departure from the same camp that brought you Mynt. DJs spin the latest house and hip-hop tracks as the lucky 220 inside can kick their feet up on wooden ottomans, lay back against brick walls, and admire the "Lord of the Rings" vibe (Mokai is the New Zealand canyon where the trilogy was filmed).

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoOnce inside, you may not want to tempt the velvet rope again if you're hungry for a late-night snack. Thankfully, Molakai has a kitchen open until 5am serving up small bites like sliders and grilled sandwiches.
The ExtrasIf you've got an eye for fashion, compliment the staff's attire. In a peculiar case of product placement, Mokai struck a deal Hugo Boss to outfit employees with Hugo Boss apparel exclusively.

I was at a loss of words when I just read the other comment that there is not good dancing, its a place to talk to your friends, and it was empty. Sweetie, everything depends on the night you go. Tuesday night, biggest party in MIAMI

The cab driver said this opened around Sept 2006? And there's a lot of buzz about it because of again, the very strict doorman. Very difficult for males to get in, especially if you're not trendy or cute enough. To some extent the doorman tries to make some people wait outside forever so as to create an illusion of the club's popularity. My friend and I got in (both girls) easily on a relatively quiet night, and the place was more like a bar and lounge than it is a club because it was pretty small and there were no dancefloors. Many beautiful people inside, no doubt, but don't expect yourself to be dancing away very much...it's probably more of a friends get together mingling type of scene.
Pros: No cover, new and cozy
Cons: Doorman, more of a lounge than a club on non-event nights
