    • This is a great place to drink beer, which is lucky given that this Austrian joint venture microbrewery does not serve any other alcoholic drinks. It is located in the wonderfully renovated Plaza Vieja, which provides ample ambience to accompany the beer. Food is available and while being entirely unexceptional, grilled bbq chicken or pork after five pints tastes pretty good.
    The beer comes in light, medium or dark and is served in ice frosted beer mugs for CUC 2 or (my favorite) an ice chilled bong for CUC 12 which will keep even the most ardent beer drinker going for a while.
