The second stop on my first wild night in Washington heights. (Technically 3rd spot but we went into the second for only a moment). I must say the DJ was pretty good. I danced the whole time. A lot of old school rican fellas. All the good reggae came on with the lights. I was literally at the door to leave and had to stop in front of this huge mirror they have to shake it real quick. I would have been doing injustice to my whole Jamaican-ness had I not.
Nothing but Latinos. It's all good though. They don't discriminate  and were totally cool with me being there. Actually some big fans of mine. More hookah which is pretty much a staple item in any heavily Latin spot. They kept the bachata business to a minimum but it was enough for me to buss out my salsa with a young Dominicano. I had a blast here. Of course all the guys are aggressive and not afraid to grab you for a dance. They were still cool when I told them to back off. Everyone was friendly and inviting and there was no drama in site.
There were a few wanna be thugs but nothing took place. They kept their thugging to a minimum and enjoyed the party. I can always appreciate a spot with minimum drama.
I had a great time. Would definitely come back if in the area.
I've never gotten a hookah or bought a drink from this place. I don't see the appeal of this place at all. It's small and gets really crowded. The crowd is very ghetto and the place was a sausage fest. Why would I want to be around a bunch of guys with oversized white and black tees. no bueno.
Good:
music is slightly better than other lounges in the area
Bad:
very small lounge
gets growded
a lot of dudes
pretty ghetto
Been here a few times and had lots of fun.
Bottle service is your best bet if you go with a couple of people.There wasn't any cover charge and the prices are great! We paid a little more than a hundred for a bottle of Patron which is unheard of in most lounges.
On Monday nights they play Hip Hop and Reggaeton and Thursdays are Salsa nights featuring a live percussion band. Not sure about the other nights. Enjoy!
I've been a guest @ this piece of Sh*t of a "Cafe" only once, and that was last Friday night. The ONLY good thing about Mimosa is that they don't charge for going in. Other than that, everything was lame! This "cafe" is literally my living room with a full bar in it.
Now, I know exactly what it feels like to be a cigarette in a carton! I could not move, and most of the time, I was stuck where I was standing for a few minutes.
The hookahs at Mimosa were OK, and the drinks are nicely priced.
But Mimosa gets too packed and the congestion makes it hard for anyone to have a great experience here!
A hookah lounge in Inwood, servicing locals, mainly Dominicans? Wow, ok!
No bigger than a one-bedroom apartment, Mimosa tries to be many things. First of all, the name, Mimosa. Did I see any mimosas served there? No, but there sure was a lot of liquor. Is this a brunch place? Doesn't seem to be so... ok? It's a hookah lounge for sure, though these are the smallest little hookahs ever; they're personal sized! There's a flat screen tv behind the bar tuned into ESPN (??) when I was there on a Saturday evening, as well as a DJ BLASTING salsa and merengue.
So: a bar, hookah lounge, dance club, sports bar??
They also have small appetizers to serve purely as snacks, like wings, I think. Nothing too fancy, all that is under $10, I believe. Not sure what the prices on anything else was, as I didn't pay for any of it. Their mixed drinks are barely worthy of that epithet, this place serves you straight up liquor with mixers as color, I swear!
Decor tries to be "Mediterranean" by hanging fringed cloths along the ceiling and such. It tries, but it's a little sloppy I think, it's almost more of an afterthought.
Sure, Mimosa is fun, I certainly danced, as did others, but this place is so schizophrenic! What sort of place are you? Depends who you ask, I guess. On Saturday nights it can get crowded (of course), FYI!
I have visited Mimosa's on two occasions now:
Early in the morning on Friday I decided I was doing Happy Hour, and chose Mimosa as the place that would help me reach my goal.......Calling through out the day led me to believe they would not open that day...probably because of the snowstorm ( I dont know why the snow has been such a huge issue this year, as if NY doesnt get tons of snow every year...smh lightweights)...So my happy hour had to be re-routed to another business in the area.
Friday @ 10pm
Finally they opened.....The place was empty but it was really early by weekend standards. Â I was with two friends and we each ordered a vodka cranberry, our check was only $10....I believe they gave us the Happy hour prices because of their late opening, already doing good in my book guys. Â Shout out to Morena, a bartender, she is awesome!
Saturday @ 2:00am
Holy Geezus! Â This place was packed!!!! Â I think the door man seriously considered not letting me and my 2 friends in because they were really at capacity, but he did.... Gratzi!
So after already having some drinks in the system we just wanted a chill time, so decided to do some hookah....They made space for us at the bar, and the light headed-ness began. Â The DJ was very good this night, and although the place was full, it wasn't that annoying peoples shoulders in your face full....so we still had a good time.
They have a food menu which I haven't tried, but I will in one of my future visits, as this place has not disappointed.
Nice decor. Â The hookahs all over looked weird but adds something different to the place. Â Middle Eastern decor and it was very comfortable. Â I only stayed for one $8 drink and did not do the hookah of which is $25 but maybe next time. Â It's a good place to watch a game, sit, chat and hookah. I DON'T HOOKAH but maybe I might try it here in the future.
