  • This is a beautiful location with the main action-taking place in a lovely outdoor garden facing the sea while inside an up-market restaurant takes the bottom floor of another exceptional Havana mansion. This is somewhere, which you should only go to on certain nights when you know there will be a good crowd there since otherwise you rattle outside on your own.
    The beat night is generally Friday night when the Club is the host to the ‘Friday Night House Party’ but if it is late and quiet, move on since this probably means that the party is somewhere else tonight.
