Malecón y Calle 20, Vedado
12m to 12am. daily

    • This bar is located in an old fortress at the mouth of the Río Almendares and offers some good views and nice atmosphere, weather permitting (when there is a stiff breeze, waves will crash over the place). There is also a restaurant upstairs.

    This place almost merges with the young Cubans who hang out on the malecon just outside which gives the whole area a little bit of a buzz and a grimy authentic Havana feel.
