TONIGHT!!!

Not often is Sunday the biggest night of our weekend but this Sunday is that plus the biggest Sunday we've even had since we opened.

Welcome international DJ Playa to Kingston this evening. He's toured and opened with some huge talents including LMFAO and Sean Paul. He'll be playing Throwbacks in his video dance party. He starts at 10 and goes until 2AM in our upper level.

La Vida is open at 6! Cocktails, tapas and Latin music for dancing or enjoying and watching. Then at 8PM DJ CubanHeat will continue in our lower level making this a TWO FLOOR SUPER PARTY NIGHT!

There is a $10 cover for DJ Playa at the door. We are expecting it to be busy so please have patience at the door and come early if you're hoping for a table.

LONG WEEKEND VIBES AT LA VIDA

This weekend, come early for the cocktails and atmosphere…then stay and see where the night takes you.

🍸 FRIDAY — COME FOR THE AMBIANCE. STAY FOR THE MUSIC.

Settle in with elevated cocktails, small plates and chill DJ sounds. As the room fills and the vibe grows, the music rises with it. Before you know it, your relaxed Friday evening may have turned into a night on the dance floor.

Upper level in The Loft - Improv Kingston take the stage and makes you laugh at 7PM. Ticketed event. Available online at Improv Kingston or at the door. $15

🥂 SATURDAY — THE ULTIMATE DATE NIGHT

Romantic lighting, cocktails designed to wow and a DJ creating a sophisticated lounge-style soundtrack—not your typical Saturday night playlist. Come for cocktails, conversation and connection. As the evening unfolds, the tempo builds…and by late night, La Vida is a full-on party.

🔥 SUNDAY — THE LONG-WEEKEND TRIPLE THREAT

Cocktails. Dancing. Two floors.

The main floor brings that signature La Vida flow: elevated cocktails and chill sounds early, evolving into late-night dancing.

Upstairs? The Loft will be LIT with something completely different. Yes, there will be DJs—but Sunday is going to be far from an ordinary DJ night.

Full Sunday details coming Tuesday. 👀

FRIDAY • SATURDAY • SUNDAY
Open 6 PM–2 AM
📍 1329 Gardiners Road, beside RE/MAX

Come early. Settle in. Stay as the energy rises.
