Party Earth Review: A popular destination for salsa experts and merengue beginners alike, Habana Village is a high-energy hotspot for those in the mood for Cuban cuisine, Latin music, and a slew of signature mojitos. Located in a converted three-story townhouse, the venue draws a sociable and ethnically diverse crowd, all dolled up in flowing skirts and tight pants and ready for the early evening salsa lessons on the second floor. Appetites duly fueled by almost two hours of hip pops and tap kicks, happy couples and new friends head down to the cozy dining area, where rustic orange walls, murals of famous Caribbean musicians, and small draping palm trees keep the Cuban vibe alive. Full bars on both levels ensure the sweaty revelers stay hydrated, whether with the mojitos and their sugar cane stirring sticks or the myriad beer and cocktail options. Later on, dance instructors are usually replaced by DJs spinning a mix of salsa, merengue, bachata, and timba, while Saturdays see the crowd trooping up to the third floor for a live five-piece band and easy access to a few more drops of rum. (NOTE: Venue is currently undergoing renovations and live band has been temporarily moved to the second floor). A lively vibe and outgoing clientele – not to mention the three bars and continuous Latin music – make Habana Village the perfect place for a fun night of salsa, authentic cuisine, and a sugary sweet taste of Cuba.

Habana Village Review

Tip from Emma:

“Don’t know how to salsa? Don’t have a dance partner? Don’t sweat it! Habana’s salsa lessons are low-key, super fun, and there are always plenty of people to practice with. Just be sure to take your newly-shaken hips to the main dance floor afterwards!”
