License Two Cult Classics That Defined a Generation

Miss Yip Chinese Café and BUCK15 Lounge were more than just a restaurant and a bar — they were cultural touchstones in Miami’s golden era of food and nightlife. Together, they offered an unmatched synergy: bold Cantonese cuisine downstairs, and a raw, art-fueled lounge upstairs that pulsed with creativity and late-night energy.

Two Distinct Brands. One Seamless Experience.

Miss Yip delivered elevated comfort food — Peking duck, handmade dumplings, salt-and-pepper shrimp — in a retro-glam space inspired by 1940s Shanghai and downtown Miami. It was cinematic, stylish, and always buzzing.
BUCK15 was the after-party, the downtown creative’s clubhouse, and the original anti-club — with curated cocktails, spontaneous art shows, and cult-status DJ sets that went deep into the night.

Together, they built a loyal following, earned media attention, and became known as must-visit destinations for both locals and global travelers.

License the full experience — from concept to playbook — and bring two iconic brands to a new generation of guests hungry for authenticity, style, and scene.

Miss Yip Chinese Cafe

Miss Yip Chinese Café is a design-forward, cult-favorite Chinese restaurant that became a staple of Miami’s dining and nightlife scene. Known for its retro-glam interiors, bold energy, and classic Cantonese comfort food, it delivered a cinematic experience from the moment you walked in.

Highlight: Guests lined up for craveable favorites like handmade dumplings, crispy salt-and-pepper shrimp, and tableside Peking duck — all served in a space that felt as much like a Wong Kar-wai film set as a restaurant.

A magnet for both locals and tourists, Miss Yip wasn’t just a place to eat — it was a scene. The kind of spot that turned dinner into nightlife and kept the lights on well past midnight.

Miss Yip YELP Testimonials

Well, It doesnt get better than this Mongolian Beef is Amazing, my gf had a lomein also was great, Big Portions, also try the Fried rice, Highly reccomend it. I was full end of the night

This is a nice Chinese brasserie just off Lincoln Road. The ambiance is very cool and the food is good. I was promptly seated and service was quick. I had a special fruity Martini, which was very good. About my food, I tried some Dumplings and Spring Rolls. A friend of mine had some Orange Peel Beef. Not the best Chinese that I've tried but worth a visit. Prices are reasonable for Lincoln Road area in SoBe. They serve Shanghai Express Lunch Special for $10.88 (noon-6pm) with lots of dishes to choose for with one Spring Roll and rice (most dishes)

I love Singapore noodles so much, and these were good ones. Oh, noodley goodness. They were good ones. Sometimes the curry can be a little bitter, but it was good here, and there were lots of veggies to complement them. Usually I get these take-out and they're hugely greasy, but these were not. I mean, it was a bit expensive for Chinese food, but the restaurant space is nice and it's pretty well executed Chinese. You are not paying for the takeout box and oodles of MSG, and that's important.

The food is absolutely delicious, and the portions are good. The waiters aren't the best, l've been there several times and they always seem to get part of the order wrong. I'm also not a huge fan of not having free refills, you get a can of Coke that costs $2.25 and you have to make that last through your meal or you'll quickly rack up a pricey bill on drinks alone. Overall, this is a great Chinese restaurant to eat at. The General Tso chicken is very

Favorite Chinese restaurant in South Beach; helps that's it's walking distance. Very easy to order for ry out as well. Hong Kong style. Very solid food, good portion size. I go in at least once for every trip to Miami. I always order with brown rice.

Great affordable restaurant to have lunch (special price) and for dinner Very well located (you can have a walk or get a drink after on Lincoln rd) By far my favorite Chinese restaurant in Miami Beach! I would recommend Jennie to anyone who is opening a restaurant or hotel or has a business that needs a renovation or a fresh marketing approach."

Dim Sum, Dim Sum, Dim Sum!!!!! Every time I go to Miss Yip I order the same pork fried dumplings and for dessert a delicious chocolate cake. The rest of the food is just ok but never disappointing and always great service. Nice environment and very cozy. Miss Yip should be a must in the Miami area when referring to Chinese

BUCK15 Lounge

BUCK15 Lounge was one of Miami’s most beloved underground lounges — a raw, creative, anything-goes space that blurred the lines between bar, art gallery, and after-hours playground.

Tucked upstairs above Miss Yip, BUCK15 was where the DJs played what they wanted, the crowd danced like nobody was watching, and the drinks kept flowing till sunrise.

Known for its rotating art installations, cult-favorite parties, and downtown dive-meets-Soho vibe, BUCK15 attracted a loyal following of tastemakers, skaters, stylists, and creatives. It was the spot where people went after the party— or instead of it.

Highlight: The lounge featured original cocktail menus, pop-up performances, and weekly themed nights that felt spontaneous but curated — all set in a space layered with graffiti, vintage couches, glowing signage, and DIY spirit.

BUCK15 wasn’t trendy — it defined the trend. And now, it’s ready for a second life.

BUCK15 Lounge YELP Testimonials

As others have mentioned, this is the anti-South Beach establishment which makes it all the more appealing for me. I like the Kid-Robot decor and random bits of art spewed on the walls. If you're looking for a classy and sparkly type of place this ain't it. The DJ spins a wide range of music from soul records, rock, pop, hip-hop, reggae, new wave and anything good inbetween.

L O V E D this place! Yes, it's small, but if you get there early and claim a spot (preferably near the windows), you'll have a great time. The music was banging and the people we met there were really a lot of fun. No attitudes!!!! That's rare for SoBE, as is a place with no cover charge that also doesn't require dress to impress.

We went to Miami Beach to celebrate a bachelorette party and had so much fun...literally, we were swinging from the rafters at Buck 15. Great music AND the drinks were free until 1AM. Loved that the place wasn't pretentious - no lines and crowd was down to have fun. Also loved that there was a comfy couch close by for those of us who wore crazy heels. With a group of 10 girls, one of us was bound to wear crazy heels. We all danced our asses off...my only complaint is that it's a little small (other location was a lot bigger), but I still had a good time.

I'll keep it short and sweet: stiff drinks, good music, clientele that just wants to have a good time and doesn't take itself too seriously (unlike most of the Beach), and you feel kind of cool going into a back alley, through a dirty unmarked door and up some stairs to a rollicking party. Recommended for a change of pace from normal Beach shenanigans.

People aren't lying, this place is hot. literally & figuratively. i had the honor of celebrating Halloween here and man, did i have a good time! i didn't wanna leave! the DJ spun remixes of classic hits that had me dancing all night...no breaks. to get in was about a 15 minute wait (which is good for crowded SoBe on Halloween night). we didn't order the bottle service because it just didn't seem worth the price. drink could be cheaper and space is limited. it felt like partying in some kid's tree house...with a bar...and DJ booth. but that's what made it fun. it's like a secret clubhouse away from all the snootiness and stick-up-the-butt attitudes that make up The Beach.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! It's tiny - but the people, the DJ and the overall vibe is hard to find. If you're looking for some chill place where you don't have to deal with pretentious people and just want to have a good time dancing and drinking with friends - this is it. My friends and I got here towards the end of our night so there was no line to get in. Since the place is small, it was still packed and we did spill our drinks because of people bumping into us - but that's expected at any crowded club or bar really. In any case, have I mentioned how much I love this place??

Buck 15 is a great low-key spot to drink, dance, and just chill, located just off Lincoln Road above Miss Yip. Since word got out about its low drink prices and just general awesomeness, it definitely packs in the crowds on weekends and weeknights alike. The best way to enjoy all that Buck has to offer is to get there early or really late. I always have a great time there. Sometimes waiting on line for a place is worth it - and Buck 15 is one of those places. Plus, there's never a cover - so what do you have to lose?
