CHELA’S MIAMI LAKES IS COMING SOON TO FORT LAUDERDALE!

Something exciting is brewing in Fort Lauderdale… and we want YOU to be part of it.

Chela’s Cocteleria Miami started as a pop-up created by locals for the Miami Lakes community during an uncertain time. What began as a simple idea grew into a neighborhood staple — bringing together great food, handcrafted cocktails, Latin flavor, music, and the unmistakable energy of Miami.

Now, Chela’s Cocteleria is bringing that experience to Fort Lauderdale!

Our new location is opening in October 2026, and we're building a team of energetic, passionate people who want to be part of something from the very beginning.

At Chela’s, we're more than a restaurant. We're an experience.

Think tropical vibes, handcrafted cocktails, skilled bartenders, welcoming hospitality, bold Latin-inspired dishes, great music, and a place where people come to relax, celebrate, connect, and have a damn good time.

We're looking for people who bring more than just experience to the table. We want personality, energy, teamwork, hustle, and a genuine love for taking care of people.

Whether you're an experienced hospitality professional or someone ready to take the next step in your restaurant career, there's an opportunity for you to grow with us.

BE PART OF THE OPENING TEAM

We're hiring for multiple positions, including:
