Jimmy Butler took some time away from basketball for a different game Thursday evening.

The Heat superstar and his coffee brand, Bigface, partnered with Bacardi to debut the Miami Rum Room Domino Club one-night popup at Byblos in Miami Beach.

The upscale Mediterranean clubstaurant was given a proper Little Havana-style makeover, with potted palm trees, retro fixtures, a cigar rolling station and salsa music playing all night long.

On the menu: The baller’s espresso martini collaboration with the rum company, a bittersweet cocktail called the Café con Ocho.

Butler was seen having a blast, not just playing dominoes and taking selfies, but also tending the bar and mixing up drinks. The crowd included local HGTV interior decorating duo Ray and Eilyn Jimenez, of “Divided by Design.”

Butler’s creation is not only currently available at just Byblos but such other hot spots as Cafe La Trova, Broken Shaker, Michael’s Genuine, Sofia Design District, Level 6 Rooftop and Phuc Yea, through Dec. 31.
