  • MANGOS AFTER-DARK [MIDNIGHT IN WHITE]

    USDΒ 20.00 per person

    Prepaid

    1 - 20 people

    20 Nov 2026 only
    11:00 pm
    Mangos AfterDark Southern soul. Grown-folk hours. This ones special. Its an ALL EXCLUSIVE ALL-WHITE AFFAIR. When the dinner rush fades and the lights drop low, something else takes over. After Dark is Southern hospitality with the volume turned up and the tempo slowed down. Smoked, seared, and simmered small plates built for sharing, poured alongside cocktails that don’t apologize for being strong. Think bourbon that’s been sitting patient in a barrel. Peaches, chili, smoke, honey. Shrimp and grits worth staying up for. A room that hums instead of shouts, where the music has a heartbeat and nobody’s rushing your table. If you’re visiting, this is the night you’ll tell people about when you get home. If you live here, this is the place you’ve been keeping to yourself. Grown. Southern. Unhurried. Come clad in all white. After Dark starts when the rest of the city winds down.

There was a DJ on the patio which was a nice touch as well as a saxophonist downstairs playing live music. Service was very friendly but we had slightly delayed timing with this visit also. All in all, it was a great experience and I would not only recommend but return anytime I can.

We went on a rather windy night they did everything they could to keep us comfortable on the patio. Food was exceptional came out quickly and fresh, drinks were awesome and the DJ was jammin. Customer service from the host down to just anyone you walked by was so inviting I don’t leave reviews often but my experience was 100/10. Will definately be back

                                                              Me and a couple friends decided to try out Mangos πŸ₯­ for the first time and the customer service was TOP NOTCH! We really enjoyed our appetizers as well. We had the lemon pepper shrimp, soul rolls, and Thai chili 🌢️ chicken wings which had a little kick to it. The disappointment was the actual entrees. The oxtails and collard greens were bland. The macaroni and cheese wasn’t baked long enough but edible. The turkey wings were okay but not anything I have to have again. Maybe it was an off day for the restaurant because I’ve heard nothing but good things about this establishment.

Not sure if it was due to Sunday Brunch and kitchen was overwhelmed by the initial rush but they should be prepared for it.
