About Mynt Lounge
If there's one club on Miami Beach synonymous with exclusivity, it is Mynt Lounge. During its seven-year reign the definitive Über lounge on the 2100 block of Collins hasearned a reputation for the tightest door policy and most fabulous crowd in the Magic City.
The list of celebrities that have passed through Mynt's doors would fill a dozen Rolodexes, but serial offenders include Ricky Martin, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Cameron Diaz, Mickey Rourke, Sean Penn, Jennifer Lopez, Giselle Bundchen, Colin Farrell, and Jamie Foxx.
Add to these boldface names the hordes of models, designers, fashionistas, top DJs, scene-makers, and high rollers, and you understand why Mynt's velvet rope has long been the highest hurdle in Miami Beach nightlife.
In order to maintain its blue-chip status, Mynt demands elegance, chic, and a winning smile of its patrons. "Those are the minimum requirements," says owner Romain Zago."Mynt is for the famous and fabulous."
As for the paparazzi, Mynt enforces a strict rule: no entry. "Mynt is where celebrities come to escape the paparazzi," explains Zago. "They come here to party and have funwithout being hassled." Most clubs let photographers stalk their A-list guests in the hope of some publicity,he explains, but Mynt doesn't need cheap exposure. "We know that great people will come anyway - the famous and the fabulous - so we prefer to maintain that aura of exclusivity.
Another distinguishing factor: Mynt never rests on its laurels. Mynt is completely refitted every summer, from carpets to light fittings, including new furniture and furnishings. Its latest renovation cost $1.2 million - a sum that none of its so-called rivals would dream of investing. But that's why Mynt maintains its reputation as the ultimate high-end, luxury-service nightspot.
"We have a simple but radical philosophy," explains Romain Zago. "The customer is the star. We never forget that without the paying customer, nobody has a job - and that includes the entire team, from waitresses to managers."
Mynt Lounge Review By Geno T. : Chicago, IL
Mynt is what Chicago's Moda Club dreams of being. It's about fashion, good music, plasma monitors showing short clips of club-glam-energy. The crowd is CHIC...VERY CHIC. The women all beautiful, but I would NOT bet a shiny nickel they were all over 21.
The energy is good, with women & girls (for those under 21) not hesitating to dance on the catwalk along the walls. Lighting is very dim, and Techno/House is blasting through a premium sound system. CAUTIONARY NOTE: If you're sensitive to excessively loud music in enclosed spaces, this might be too much for you.
There is a hidden VIP room to the left of the DJ booth. We split our time evenly between the two areas. The lighting in VIP is brighter than that of the main area, and the space is much more intimate, and music not quite as loud. Possible Excitement Note: THEY BE STARS IN VIP!
Oh..and this club is "COOL"....literally. They have it well air-conditioned so you never get hot and sweaty. This is GOOD!
Cover was $20, total, for my friend Diem, my gf, and me. (I'm assuming the girls got in free and the $20 applied to me)
Drink prices: I wouldn't know. Did comp'd bottle service courtesy of a promoter friend. This also means I cannot speak to bartender service
PROS:
All in all a good place to chill and have a good time in Miami. Great decor, music, and crowd. All very CHIC.
CONS: The VIP room is a bit "snug", some of the "women" (girls) are possibly in jail-bait territory...(Check IDs fellas..seriously..because I can assure you...the doormen HAVE NOT). 0.5 star deduction.
Recommendation: Fridays and Saturdays seem to be the best nights. Guys, expect to pay cover ranging from $10-20..try to negotiate with the bouncers...they are flexible if you are decently dressed..so as long as you're not with a whole GANG Of guys.. Ladies, if you don't mind using your charms, smile at the bouncers and you'll likely get in free.
