Live Music.
Four Nights a Week No Cover
Where Miami Comes to Dance
Some restaurants put a speaker in the corner and call it ambiance. We put an orchestra on the stage. Four nights a week, the lights go down at 8000 SW 8th Street and the room turns into what Calle Ocho has always been about: live salsa, Cuban cabaret, and a dance floor that fills before the first song ends.
Dinner and a show, no cover: order the ropa vieja, get a mojito in your hand, and let the band handle the rest. Arrive early on Fridays and catch live music during happy hour — half-price drinks while Yuri Jose plays.
The Weekly Lineup
Salsa Night & Cuban Cabaret
Our signature night. Live salsa from 8, building to the Cuban Cabaret spectacle at 10 PM. Dance lessons available early in the evening.
Happy Hour — Yuri Jose
Start the weekend early with live music by Yuri Jose during Happy Hour. Great drinks, great vibes.
DJ Mago Night
Latin beats, reggaeton, and Cuban classics to kick off the weekend. The dance floor fills fast.
Grupo AHI NA MA
Our biggest night. Full live band, Cuban classics, and an energy that's hard to describe — you have to feel it.
Live Music
Wind down the week with live music and a relaxed Sunday dinner.
