Ambience

Entertainment
Service

Best for: Lively Cuban crowd will get the party started in an instant

Worst for: Not the most glamorous of locales. Can get claustrophobic inside.

Malecón No. 107, entre Genios & Crespo, Centro Havana

(+53)7861 - 4864

12m to 12am daily

This social club is set in a marvelous (if run-down) building right on the Malecón. The upstairs has been recently renovated as a restaurant serving international cuisine. Downstairs is often packed with local Cubans who like the lively non-pretentious airs, location and cheap cover. Really less of a bar and more of a club.
