What's on

Live music, tango, happy hour — here's what's coming up.

EVERY WEEK

The regulars

SOME NIGHTS

Live music

Afrobeat, blues, Latin and whatever the room asks for. No cover — a band in the corner and the kitchen running late. Follow us on Instagram for who's playing.

SATURDAYS · FROM 11AM

Tango

Tables pushed back, coffee still pouring, dancers from late morning into the afternoon. Beginners welcome, regulars unavoidable.

EVERY DAY · 4–6PM

Happy hour

Beers $6, baobab smoothies $8, infused coconut $9, fufu bites $7. The golden hours, as the café hands the room to the lounge.

YOUR NIGHT, YOUR WAY

Host your event at Muddy Waters

A private gathering, a celebration, a community meetup — or you're a DJ, musician, dancer or organizer with an idea. The room is built for intimate nights and creative programming.
