Havana Social Club is the Latin night club where every night moves like a dance floor. Step into Business Bay’s brightest spot for salsa, bachata, and live Cuban brass. The band plays late, and the floor never truly empties. This is where Dubai’s rhythms warm up after 10pm—and kick on until late.
The home of Latin night club music in Business Bay
If you crave genuine Latin energy, Havana Social Club brings it, for locals and travelers alike. Yes, you’ll find a full live band on our stage—tight Cuban horns, rhythmic percussion, singers who draw you from your seat. However, the real pulse is always out on the dancefloor, where regulars and newcomers swap sweat and stories over merengue, salsa, bachata, and kizomba.
What happens each night?
Arriving early? Grab a table, order a mojito, and let the anticipation build. Cuban hand-shaken cocktails start from the first song. Our chefs keep the kitchen open until late—empanadas, crunchy yuca fries, chimichurri steak, or even classic arroz con pollo. For many, the night starts with the free intro class before every salsa night. No partner needed—even if you’ve never danced before, our instructors make it easy.
Live music, dance, and late-night flavors
Every week, our calendar rotates. Thursdays: salsa night, the classic. Fridays: bachata and kizomba, each set strong and soulful. Saturday, expect something wild—sometimes a Cuban big band, sometimes a guest DJ spinning the deeper Latin veins. For example, on a recent Saturday, we filled the club for a tribute to Benny Moré, and the brass section outplayed the midnight rain.
Latin night club dance classes—free for all
Before the band tunes up, the dance teachers take over. These free intro classes fill up quickly—therefore, arriving by 9:30pm is smart if you want a spot. The instructors know how to break down the basics. No judgments. No need for a partner. If you’re shy, you’ll have company. Everyone started as a beginner, and our regulars are some of the friendliest dancers in the city.
Cocktails shaken to the beat
Our bar team knows their craft—classics like daiquiris, caipirinhas, and fresh lime margaritas. Mojitos are made the Cuban way, muddled by hand and never shy on the rum. However, we keep a careful eye on service and safety: water flows, and highballs are balanced for flavor, not just strength. If you want something lighter, try a non-alcoholic piña colada as the party heats up.
Why Havana Social Club stands out
Since 2016, our Latin night club has been the magnet for dance lovers across Dubai. There are no velvet ropes, no pretense—everyone is welcome, and the party is always moving. Our regulars include salsa pros, curious first-timers, and even visiting musicians from Latin America and Europe. In addition, foodies come just for the Cuban sandwiches or the tres leches cake with a late espresso. As a result, the atmosphere is always alive, every night of the week.
How to join in
Find us in Business Bay—just a few minutes from Downtown Dubai and the Dubai Canal. Parking is easy, and the metro is close by. Drop in with friends or swirl in solo.

Reserve your spot at Havana Social Club
Walk-ins are welcome, though on salsa nights the tables fill up fast. Book ahead if you’re bringing a group or celebrating something special. Our team remembers familiar faces and loves seeing new ones. For the best of Latin music, food, and dance in Dubai, Havana Social Club is open and ready.
Latin night club culture—music, spirit, and connection
Some come for the music. Others for the movement. Many return because this is where Dubai lets loose and finds connection. The band’s final note may fade, but the stories, friendships, and new dance steps go home with you. That’s what a true Latin night club offers—and why we’re still spinning into the morning.
