Alfaro's

A Cuban nightclub on Calle Ocho since 2007, with weekend live shows, Spanish tapas and a room built for quinces and parties.

Checked October 2026

For a night of Cuban and Latin live acts in an old-school Little Havana lounge. The trade-off: paying by card adds a 3% fee and a 20% service charge, and show bookings aren't refundable.

The shows

Alfaro's opened on May 9, 2007, and the calendar still leans on weekends. The site lists upcoming presentations on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays running into early 2027. Night hours match: 9 pm to 2 am on Friday and Saturday, 6 pm to midnight on Sunday. The website is mostly in Spanish, so check the date of the act you want and call to confirm who's on. It holds 4.4 from about 310 Google reviews, which is solid for a room this specific. Expect a crowd that came for the singer, not a DJ.

What's on the table

The menu is tapas with a Spanish accent. Tortilla española shows up by the slice or whole, alongside aceitunas aliñadas, a ham and chorizo combination, chorizo al vino, a cheese platter and a shrimp cocktail. There's a crema del día, a classic Caesar, an Alfaro's sandwich and something called Naza's bon bon. Prices sit around $$. It's snacking food to share between sets, plus cocktails. Daytime hours run 10 am to 5 pm every day, so call ahead if you want to eat outside show nights.

The bill and the fine print

Read this before you hand over a card. The house adds a 3% processing fee and a 20% service charge to every credit card transaction, which is posted on the site in both languages. Show reservations paid by card can't be refunded, the one exception being if the artist's date changes and you can't make the new one. Taxes and tips aren't returned once you've signed. None of this is unusual for Miami's supper club scene, but it adds up fast on a table of six with cocktails.

Reservations

Show reservations paid by card are non-refundable unless the artist's date changes and you can't attend the new one.

Good to know

Cards get a 3% processing fee plus a 20% service charge, so budget for it or ask about other payment.
