Hoy Como Ayer

"The entrance you choose at Hoy Como Ayer determines how your night at this Little Havana bar will go. One door leads to a bar with living room furniture (fittingly called “la sala”) that’s good for lounging and small talk. The other entrance is where you’ll find an enormous DJ booth playing a broad mix of Latin music. Luckily, you can switch between both rooms if you need a break. This place used to be a classic Cuban music venue for decades. It’s been modernized under new ownership, but couples still twirl and dip to Joe Arroyo and the other salsa greats displayed in black-and-white portraits along the walls. If you’re not a salsa expert, you can also just enjoy the cushy seating and watch the action. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino

"A nostalgic, tropical club in the heart of Little Havana, Hoy Como Ayer is an intimate space with an energetic pulse that flows under low ceilings, dim lights, and photo portraits of Latin stars. Weeknight events are highlighted by what many locals consider to be the best night in Miami—dancing to the afro-cuban rhythms of The Spam Allstars. Recently, Hoy has experienced a slight reconfiguration where the dance floor scaled down, making way for a larger seating/performance section. Nevertheless, come midnight, it's guaranteed that people will be dancing on their chairs." - Colada Collective
