Sala'o Cuban Restaurant & Bar - Live music

Sala'o Cuban Restaurant & Bar brings a lively slice of Havana to Little Havana's Calle Ocho, pairing Cuban and Caribbean seafood with handcrafted cocktails and live music every night of the week. Chef Eliesteban Mena's menu ties traditional Cuban seafood dishes like ceviche de Cojimar and oxtail with his own signature twists, while the bar is known locally as the house of the daiquiri in Miami.

The dining room and rooftop seating fill up fast on Friday and Saturday nights, when the energy peaks with dancers, salsa lessons, and a packed dance floor, while weeknights lean toward Havana Nights band sets and salsa classes on Wednesdays. With entrees in the $20-80 range, outdoor and rooftop seating, happy hour from 4-7pm on weekdays, and a kids' menu for families, it works for first-time visitors wanting an authentic Little Havana night out as well as regulars celebrating birthdays and group occasions.
