About this Event
You've been to Latin nights in Tampa.
The same predictable nights.
October 24 changes everything.
ÚLTIMO FRIDAYS is what happens when someone finally asks: "What if Tampa had a Latin night that was actually upscale?"
This is not a dance studio. This is not a sports bar with Latin music. This is Sushi Sake Tampa and for one night every month, it transforms into the most elevated Latin experience in the city.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
REAL DINING MEETS REAL NIGHTLIFE
You can order spicy tuna rolls at 8 PM and dance Bachata at midnight in the same place. This is a real restaurant with real cuisine. Japanese fusion meets Latin energy. Craft cocktails. Kennedy Boulevard views. The kind of atmosphere where you'd bring a date and your dance shoes.
FREE PROFESSIONAL DANCE INSTRUCTION
At 9 PM, world-ranked instructor Jenny Marie teaches beginner Salsa and Bachata. No judgment. No pressure. Just solid instruction that gets you ready for the dance floor by 9:30. Even if you've never danced before.
PREMIUM DJ EXPERIENCE
Our DJ understands progression. Bachata that builds the mood. Merengue that keeps energy high. Salsa for the dancers. Modern Reggaeton for the late-night crowd. From 9:30 PM to 1 AM, the music matches the sophistication of the space.
INDOOR ELEGANCE + OUTDOOR ENERGY
Beautiful indoor dining area. Outdoor space for dancing under Tampa lights. You move between both all night. Choose your atmosphere as the night evolves.
A CROWD THAT GETS IT
Young professionals who want more than the usual Tampa options. People who appreciate when someone puts thought into an experience. The kind of crowd that understands upscale doesn't mean uptight. Quality and energy in one place.

HOW YOUR NIGHT UNFOLDS
7:00 PM - You walk into Sushi Sake. It's elegant. Upscale. You order from the full menu. This feels like dinner, not a club. The lighting is perfect. The energy is building.
8:30 PM - More people arrive. The atmosphere shifts. Music plays but it's still conversational. You're finishing your meal. Deciding whether to stay. The vibe is pulling you in.
9:00 PM - Dance lesson begins. Jenny Marie makes it easy. Basic Salsa. Basic Bachata. Fifteen minutes of instruction that actually sticks. You're moving. It clicks.
9:30 PM - DJ takes over. The tempo builds. People who know how to dance start filling the floor. You try what you just learned. It works.
10:30 PM - The outdoor Kennedy Boulevard space is alive. Tampa lights. City energy. You're switching between indoor elegance and outdoor dancing. Both spaces feel right.
11:30 PM - You've forgotten this is a restaurant. The DJ is reading the room perfectly. Bachata. Salsa. Merengue. Everyone's dancing. This is what elevated nightlife looks like.
12:45 AM - Final songs. You're sweating. Smiling. Already planning to come back next month. You're exchanging numbers with people who get it.
1:00 AM - Last dance. You leave thinking, "Why didn't Tampa have this before?"
Last Friday of every month. Starting October 24.
WHY ÚLTIMO
ÚLTIMO means "last" in Spanish. But it also sounds like "ultimate."
This is the last Friday of every month. And it's the ultimate Latin night Tampa has been missing.
We're not trying to be the biggest. We're trying to be the best. There's a difference.
SOFT OPENING TRUTH
October 24 is our test. We're seeing if Tampa is ready for something more refined than what's currently available.
Capacity is limited to 100-120 people. This is intentional. Intimate. Curated. Not a packed club where you can't move. An experience where every detail matters.
If Tampa shows up and loves it, this becomes the monthly tradition the city deserves.
ABOUT MALOOF ENTERTAINMENT
We've been running Latin events in Tampa Bay for years. First Fridays at LBC Palm Harbor. Host of The Cuban Sandwich Festival. We understand this community. We know what works.
ÚLTIMO FRIDAYS is what happens when we get to build something from scratch at the right venue with the right vision.
We're not renting a space for one night. This is a partnership with Sushi Sake to create something Tampa doesn't have: upscale Latin nightlife that actually feels upscale.
THE REAL QUESTION
"Is this actually different or just marketing?"
Walk in at 8 PM. Order dinner. Stay for the music. You'll know within thirty minutes.
This isn't another Latin night. This is what happens when someone decides Tampa deserves better and has the track record to deliver it.
RSVP NOW
This Eventbrite RSVP is FREE and helps us plan capacity.
Entry at the door: FREE until 11 PM, $10 after 11 PM. No tickets required.
