If your Saturday nights have started feeling predictable, there is one hidden venue in Business Bay quietly changing the game.
Behind an unmarked black door inside Paramount Hotel Dubai sits Flashback Speakeasy Bar & Lounge, a Prohibition-inspired venue where Jazz to Havana with Anabel transforms the night from smooth jazz into an energetic Latin music experience. The weekly event has become one of Dubai’s fastest-growing nightlife picks, with tickets regularly listed as “selling fast” on Platinumlist.
A Secret Bar With a Full Havana Energy Shift
Forget the typical lounge playlist.
Every Saturday from 9:30 PM until 12:30 AM, guests experience a live performance that begins with soulful jazz before shifting into vibrant Cuban and Latin rhythms as the evening progresses. The venue embraces its 1920s speakeasy identity with dim lighting, vintage décor, hidden entrances, plush seating, and cocktails served with old-school flair.
The experience feels more like stepping into another era than visiting a standard Dubai nightlife venue.

Each AED 120 ticket includes:
- Entry to Jazz to Havana with Anabel

Why Everyone Is Talking About It
Dubai has no shortage of luxury lounges, but Flashback Speakeasy stands out by fully committing to its concept.
Instead of another generic night out, guests step into an immersive venue inspired by Hollywood’s Prohibition era, complete with live entertainment that builds throughout the evening rather than remaining background music. The combination of limited seating, themed interiors and live jazz-to-Latin performances has helped make Jazz to Havana with Anabel one of the city’s most sought-after Saturday experiences.
If it’s on your weekend list, booking early is the safer move.
