Open 10am-midnight daily

  • This is consistently busy and looks like it should be a great bar. Given this, the atmosphere tends often to be a little disappointing, the house band is not quite as good as many others, and widely spread tables seem to militate against a more intimate atmosphere of somewhere like Café París. Worth a pit stop on Obispo but not a destination place.

    In the interests of transparency I have to admit that this used to be my local and I maintain a very soft spot for the place. With greenery on all sides and a (generally nonfunctioning) fountain in th …

    This is a pleasant downstairs bar located in a gorgeously renovated Old Havana boutique hotel whose roof will take your breath away. Every Wednesday evening there is an open bar.

    This is the local that everyone loves to hate. On a quiet night it may be the only bar in the neighborhood that is really busy, which, given its unattractive décor and lack of sophistication may come …

    This contemporary ground floor bar would not look out of place in New York or LA. Well worth a pit stop although as with many of these types of bars in Cuba it never really manages to create a funky b …

    La Red

    La Red  LH 2

    A small underground bar which has a variety of shows and live music. If you are close by and want to pop in, it’s a good option; otherwise not too much to commend it. Does good temba.

    La Roca

    La Roca  LH 2

    La Roca has a very pleasant bar with great decoration (lots of 1950’s art deco glass), which makes a good pit stop if you are around. Recently this has started to attract large queues of mainly Cubans …

    Amanecer

    Amanecer  LH 2+

    The shows at this quite large club with a capacity of 130 generally start around 10pm with a mixture of your normal Cuban fare. To look out for is the Thursday night DJ who plays spinning salsa, regga …

    Cocodrilo Humor Club  LH 2

    This is a comfortable place with a nice modern ambience inside. It features comics on a nightly basis who, if you can manage to understand what they are saying, can be pretty funny although much of th …

    Chico O’Farrill Bar  LH 1

    One of the better places among those found in Havana Vieja’s hostales, this place serves as a relaxing hideaway by day or by night. Bands perform on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. While it has an I …
