Little Havana
Abu Dhabi
At a glance
Little Havana is a Latin bar and nightlife venue inside Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach in JBR. The setting combines a bar, dance floor and music-led evening atmosphere, with warm lighting, cocktails and Latin sounds shaping the experience. It suits social evenings built around conversation, dancing and shared food rather than a quiet meal.
The food follows a Latin American direction, with tapas and small plates designed for sharing. The menu style includes Cuban-inspired comfort food, seafood, grilled meats, tacos, croquettes, rice, beans and desserts with tropical or Latin influences. Sharing plates make the venue a practical choice for groups that prefer to sample several dishes across the table, while a main-course selection gives diners the option of a more substantial meal.
Drinks are an important part of the format. The bar focuses on rum-led cocktails, mojitos, daiquiris, mezcal serves and tropical flavours, alongside non-alcoholic options. The drinks list matches the venue’s Havana-inspired character without making the food secondary, giving the evening a balance of dining, cocktails and entertainment.
Music ranges across salsa, reggaeton, Latin house, afrobeats and familiar party sounds, with DJ sessions and Latin dance nights forming the main entertainment. The late-night setting is suited to friends, couples and groups looking for a lively evening in Dubai Marina and JBR. Dancing is central to the character, although the venue also works for guests who prefer to begin with drinks and shared plates before the music becomes the focus.
Little Havana is located on Al Mamsha Street at The Walk, JBR, making it a convenient nightlife stop for visitors staying around Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence and the wider coastal part of Dubai. Abu Dhabi visitors looking for a music-led night in Dubai can combine the venue with an evening around The Walk. The hotel setting provides a clear landmark, while advance planning is sensible for groups and popular music nights.
