ABOUT

We see the world of hospitality differently. We see it through the experiences themselves, the stories people share and the connections created at each event.

How are we “Refreshingly Familiar, yet Delightfully Different”?

At The MISI, we give guests a “want for nothing” experience through our top-notch hospitality service, flexibly designed spaces, award-winning food, and river views worth capturing.

We welcome our guests to explore an elevated view of the mighty Mississippi River within a whimsical, elegant, and modern-designed space. With a pinch of new-world excellence and a dash of old-world charm, The MISI nests itself on the 3rd floor of the historic JAX Brewery building on Decatur.

—————

Our newly renovated doors are officially opening in December of 2024, and we could not be more excited to bring back a piece of New Orleans history with The MISI. Originally the home of the largest beer brewery in the South, this historical building has continued its service to hospitality roots long after the Brewery’s closing, bringing a variety of shops and restaurants to service the French Quarter. We are delighted to bring social and celebratory events back home with, The MISI.

Versatility

With over 8,500 square feet of upscale corporate and social event space, The MISI is ready to host your grandest celebrations. Whether it's a wedding, a corporate gathering, or a soirée with friends, we have you covered.
