Step into Dabney & Co. this weekend and you’ll notice something in the air—something tender, vulnerable, and deeply human. It's not just the curated cocktails or candlelit ambiance (though those don’t hurt). It’s the music. Two emotionally charged events—Latin Night and The Drake Experience—come together to remind us that rhythm isn’t just for dancing. It's for remembering, longing, healing... and maybe even a little heartbreak.

Latin Night: Where the Heart Leads the Dance

Latin music, especially boleros, bachata, and salsa, carries an emotional weight that goes beyond the beat. Boleros in particular are dripping with longing, with lyrics that speak of impossible love, missed chances, and the ache of memory. Originally emerging from Cuba in the late 19th century, the bolero has always had one foot in the past—its melodies slow and expressive, its lyrics like handwritten letters never sent.

And at Dabney & Co., those timeless sounds fill the room like perfume. You’ll see couples dance cheek to cheek, caught in a moment. You’ll hear the strings, the congas, the croon of a voice breaking just slightly as it hits a note of vulnerability. Latin Night isn’t just a party—it’s a living, breathing love letter to the passion and nostalgia that define Latin musical heritage.

Fun Fact: The word bolero comes from the Spanish verb volar—to fly—capturing that weightless feeling love can bring... or take away.

The Drake Experience: Slow Jams and Late-Night Feelings

Then there’s Drake. King of the 2 a.m. text anthem. Poet laureate of the emotionally complicated. At The Drake Experience, every track feels like it was pulled from someone’s real-life voice memo—half confession, half melody. From the aching echo of Marvins Room to the quiet bravado of Jaded, the night turns Dabney & Co. into a sanctuary for the emotionally fluent.

The power of Drake’s music lies in its honesty. It blurs the lines between hip-hop, R&B, and intimate storytelling. And when it hits through the speakers at Dabney, it hits different—because here, you're not just listening. You're feeling every line, every pause, every beat like it’s your own.

Quote to remember:
"I know they say the first love is the sweetest, but that first cut is the deepest." — Drake, Karaoke

Two Vibes, One Message: Music Moves Us

Whether you're dancing in tight circles to the haunting hum of a bolero, or posted up with a cocktail while Drake's lyrics curl around you like smoke, the through line is the same: music helps us feel what we sometimes can’t say out loud.

Dabney & Co. has always been more than a lounge—it’s a place where music becomes memory. Where strangers lock eyes across a dance floor, and old friends find new meaning in familiar songs. This weekend isn’t just about going out—it’s about going deep.

Come Feel Something

So whether you're drawn to the fiery romance of Latin rhythms or the introspective pull of Drake’s emotional catalog, know this: at Dabney & Co., you're always in good company. Come for the music, stay for the feeling—and leave with a memory that lingers like your favorite melody.
