This is one of the top three places in Havana for Daiquiris. It's like walking into a bar in Havana in the 1940's, especially because all of the furniture has been there since the '40s. Not recommended for the food. Off the beaten path. Great bartender and staff. Price is unbeatable. Not touristy like the Floridita. If you want to visit havana without tourists, this is one of the places to go.

A great place to go at night, drink and dance in the heart of Vedado. The prices are right. Don't go for the food and show up after 9:00pm.

My favorite experience while in Cuba: drinking a mojito, smoking a cigar, listening to music and feeling the ocean breeze while sitting on the veranda of the Hotel Nacional. Nothing else like it!

Arts & Culture

The Cuban National Ballet is world class. This is a must see if you are ever in Havana and it won't break the bank compared to comparable quality in the US!
