Obispo No. 460, entre Villegas y Aguacate, Old Havana

Open 11am- midnight daily

One of the few leafy spots on Calle Obispo and accordingly, one of the more attractive and tranquil looking places for a drink. Like all the bars on the street, when a good band is playing, there is often a good vibe, which can quickly dissipate. Informally known as Lazaro’s Bar.
