Alcazaba
50 Alhambra Plaza, Coral Gables, FL
Alcazaba is located in the Hyatt Regency Coral Gables and opened in late 1987 with DJ Jose Garcia and DJ Alex Gutierrez.
True to the Miami sound it's format was a blend of classic Disco, Salsa, merengue and contemporary dance hits. Never much on lights or sound but a Wednesday night institution for over 10 + years. A Wednesday night so solid that when rival club Canseco's opened up in the early 90s just when caller ID was becoming available a bomb threat was received at 9pm on a Wednesday Night. Still going on today , still play Disco, but mainly Salsa unless we start seeing more old timers . I left as DJ for about 3 years and now I'm back there on Wednesday happy Hours.

COMMENTS ON THIS DISCO / DISCOTHEQUE / NIGHTCLUB
Not even worthy of being included in a site about DISCO> This place OPENED in the mid-nineties!!! About twenty years after the fact, still, it does play OLDIES!!
Looks much nicer now but the lowlifes still call it home!
I went a few weeks ago on Wednesday night,and man if felt as if the Mariel boat lift had happen all over again!
And I'm Cuban,so figura te! lol
Never been a favorite place of mine. Not WORTHY!!
you know , i give up. Low lives in Miami? who knew.....but i'll keep playing disco, we always did and always will.
if not worthy ,then just hit the delete button Bernie.
and i'm Cuban too.....De madre!!
Don't take anything personally Alex, I am not getting down on YOU! I just never liked the place. Hell, you must be doing something right, you have been there forever!! Good Job!! It is like in the old days, some people loved MUTINY, others thought it sucked!! The music, as long as its DISCO, will continue to rule!! My apologies if I insulted you, not my intentions, I just did not like the place or the crowd. You play great DISCO music, too bad there aren't more places!!!You're lucky, you still get to JAM!!!
Alex it has NADA to do with you bro,you kick a** and to be honest it was the ONLY reason I event went!
I dont mind the place,but the people that have been going there all this time,isnt exactly the Gables elite, that you cannot dispute!
group hug everyone.....it's cool i know what your saying
Seriously Alex, how many years you been there now?? Since it opened?
since august 1987 opening night....left in 2002 to 2005 ..then when i got back, place was deserted...disco crowd headed to grand bay...grand bay closed...now you can see the old faces from before walking around ...happy hour 5 -7 you can always count on disco.....
