Malecón No. 107, entre Genios & Crespo, Centro Havana
(+53)7861 - 4864
12m to 12am daily

    • This social club is set in a marvelous (if run-down) building right on the Malecón. The upstairs has been recently renovated as a restaurant serving international cuisine. Downstairs is often packed with local Cubans who like the lively non-pretentious airs, location and cheap cover. Really less of a bar and more of a club.
