Open Deck presents PAPA V

Mondays have a reputation to overcome, and PAPA V is the reason this one won't feel like a Monday at all. He steps onto the Open Deck at Hubble Bubble North Miami Beach on Monday, August 17 at 9 PM with a set built on house, deep house and afro house — three sounds that share the same heartbeat but pull the room in different directions as the night goes on.

Expect a slow, deliberate build rather than an immediate peak. Deep house does the early work: warm basslines, unhurried grooves, the kind of rhythm you feel before you notice it. As the room fills, the afro house percussion moves forward — layered drums, hand percussion, vocal textures that give the set its pulse. By the last hour it's straight-ahead house, and the space between the tables has usually turned into a dance floor without anyone announcing it.

Open Deck nights are built around that gradual shift, which is why nobody at Hubble Bubble is in a rush. Order a cocktail from the bar, put a hookah on the table, and let the set come to you. The kitchen runs late, so a plate of something shareable is never more than a few minutes away — this is a lounge first, and the music is what the room is built around, not something you have to shout over.

The address is 3507 NE 163rd St, North Miami Beach, FL 33160. Doors are open, entry is free, and the night is 21+. Come at 9 PM for the opening stretch, or arrive later and walk into the thick of it — both work, and plenty of regulars do the second.

Tables go quickly on Open Deck nights, especially the ones with a clear view of the booth. Reserve yours ahead of time and you won't spend the first half hour looking for a spot. Book a table at loungehb.com/reservations and start your week somewhere that sounds like the weekend.
