Thursday, March 14: 80s and 90s Throwback at Cubata

This week Cubata has something new and totally groovy in store for us. The buzzing Cuban tapas bar on Calle Ocho has been known for its bomb happy hour deals and Latin live music on the regular. This Thursday, however, they’re organizing the ultimate throwback of your 80s and 90s dreams. Come through before 8 p.m. to enjoy their happy hour specials where all alcoholic beverages, that’s right, all of them, are 50 percent off. Sangria pitchers? Yes, please! Cuban mojitos? Keep ‘em coming! Frozen margaritas? Can’t say no to that! Once you’ve gotten your fill of refreshing boozy beverages, stay for the unsurpassed throwback tunes by DJ DYANGO. Don’t forget the scrumptious tapas selection, too—tender pulpo de gallega, zesty white seabass ceviche, melt-in-your-mouth tuna tartar, and tortilla Espanola… Oof. We recommend reserving your table beforehand as this event promises to be lit.
