Families are always welcome! Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult in our dining areas. Please note the bar area is reserved for guests 21 and over. A valid ID is required for anyone ordering alcoholic beverages.

Reservations aren't required, but we definitely recommend them — especially during peak times. For parties of 20 or more, please contact our large reservation coordinator at info@chelasmiami.com.
Do I need a reservation for special events (like 80's Night, Cinco de Chela's, or Chelaween)?
Special events are first-come, first-served unless otherwise noted. Some of our larger events may require a ticket or reservation — keep an eye on our social media for updates.

If you'd like to bring your own wine, we charge a $25 corkage fee per bottle. Outside spirits are not permitted.

Happy Hour runs Monday–Saturday from 4pm–7pm. Check out our Happy Hour Menu for all the details.
What are Chela's house rules?
We respect Florida law regarding the legal right to carry firearms. However, Chela's is private property, and for the safety and comfort of our guests and staff, we do not allow firearms, knives, or any other weapons on the premises. As a private property, we also reserve the right to refuse service at any time. While we always strive to
create a welcoming and enjoyable environment for everyone, our priority is keeping Chela's safe, comfortable, and
fun.
