Whether you?re on a hen ?do, stag ?do, birthday ?do – or just a go-on-it?s-the-weekend ?do – Alma de Cuba is one of the best bars in Liverpool. Popular with both locals and visitors, this place is most certainly not your average night out venue. If you?re a regular, you?ll know that there?s never a dull night.
From sparklers to samba, shots to selfie-ready surroundings; here are the 11 stages of a night out at Alma de Cuba.
1. Announcing That You?re Only Staying for One
Tenor
It?s official: the group chat has been informed. You?re putting your foot down once and for all this weekend. You?ve got your girls holiday to save for, a detox to stick to and an appointment with the gym in the morning. It?ll be a G&T for you and then bed! Have fun with your hangovers tomorrow, guys. Feels good to be this smug.
2. Ordering Bottle Service Ten Minutes Later
Tenor
Sod it. They come with sparklers. Wouldn?t want to waste this booth now, would we? Woooo!
3. Nearly Setting Your Hair on Fire After Dancing Too Enthusiastically Near the Candles
Luckily for you, it was caught on camera and you?ve found your new favourite profile pic.
4. Making Friends for Life in the Toilets

Omg, whats-her-name was so nice. We should deffo invite her on holiday with us. Omg, I love your hair. Of COURSE, you can borrow my bronzer, babe! Just take the whole make-up bag hun. You look like an actual MODEL, yanno. I LOVE YOU!
5. Getting Everyone Shots at the Bar
Giphy
You get a shot. You get a shot. Everyone gets a shot! It?s all going on the credit card, but you don?t care. You?re just too freakin? excited!
6. Getting Ready to Insta-Story the Petal Drop?

That boomerang isn?t going to film itself now, is it? Here we go?3, 2, 1!
7. ?Then Dropping Your Phone Instead
Farewell, old friend.
8. Suddenly Becoming an Expert in the Art of Samba
Giphy
You?re more than a ?couple? of drinks deep and your old friend False Confidence is well and truly in full force. Now is the perfect time to shake what your mama gave ?ya. While all of your mates film you, live on Facebook. Hi, Mum!
9. Trying (and Failing) to get on the Stage
Giphy
Every. Time. You?ve attempted a variety of techniques in the past but reckon tonight is your night. It?s time for the run-up-jump-and-roll-straight-onto-the-floor manoeuvre. Sorry, everyone. Especially that lad whose drink went flying.
10. Your Friends Luring You Home with the Prospect of Cheesy Chips
The bar is closed, all the lights are on and your friends are tired. The only thing that can convince you to leave right now is a box of cheesy, melty carbs – and lots of them. You?ve still not found your phone. RIP.
11. Waking Up the Next Day and Finding Petals in Your Bag/Hair/Shoe

How did they manage to get in your bra?
Whether it was your first time or your fiftieth, you?ll be wanting to do it all again next week! Want to book a booth or enquire about a private party? Get in touch with us to start planning your big night.?
