Friday nights in Dubai are crowded with rooftop parties, club nights, and brunch after-parties, but one event in Business Bay is offering something completely different.
Ppito’s Spotlight takes over Flashback Speakeasy Bar & Lounge inside Paramount Hotel Dubai every Friday, bringing live acoustic Latin music, vintage speakeasy vibes, and an intimate atmosphere that stands apart from the city’s typical nightlife scene.
Running from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM, the weekly event gives guests the chance to enjoy a live performance by Ppito while relaxing inside one of Dubai’s most distinctive hidden bars.
What Is Ppito’s Spotlight Dubai?
At the center of the experience is Ppito, whose live acoustic performances blend soulful vocals with Latin-inspired rhythms in a setting designed for conversation and connection.
Unlike large concerts or packed clubs, Ppito’s Spotlight focuses on creating a more personal live music experience. Guests can enjoy the performance from comfortable lounge seating while taking in the venue’s signature Prohibition-era atmosphere.
The event runs every Friday and has become a popular option for residents and visitors looking for an alternative to traditional nightlife experiences.
Why Ppito’s Spotlight Dubai Stands Out
Dubai has no shortage of nightlife options, but few combine live music, an intimate setting, and a hidden speakeasy concept in one experience.
Several factors make the event stand out:
Live Acoustic Latin Music
Ppito delivers stripped-back acoustic performances that create a more engaging and personal atmosphere than a typical nightclub environment.
Three Drinks Included
Each ticket includes three house beverages, adding extra value to the overall experience.
Speakeasy Vibes
Flashback Speakeasy is designed around a 1920s Prohibition-era theme, complete with vintage décor, leather seating, and a hidden-bar aesthetic.
A Different Friday Night Option
For guests looking to skip crowded venues and endless queues, the event offers a relaxed setting where the focus remains on the music and atmosphere.
Inside Flashback Speakeasy
Located within Paramount Hotel Dubai, Flashback Speakeasy Bar & Lounge transports guests back to the glamour of the Roaring Twenties.
The venue is known for its vintage-inspired interiors, dim lighting, classic lounge seating, and curated beverage menu. It remains one of the hotel’s most unique nightlife concepts and regularly hosts live entertainment throughout the week.
Flashback operates daily from 7 PM until 3 AM and has built a reputation as a destination for jazz sessions, tribute performances, acoustic acts, and themed music nights.
