Why you should go…
Billie Holiday and Chet Baker played this Calle Ocho club back in the day, and its revival keeps the spirit alive with live Latin bands, salsa dancers and some of the best mojitos in Miami. The backyard pineapple-shaped bandstand is pure tropical theater. Come early for daiquiris, stay late to dance.
