Open noon-2am

  • Located on the top floor of a new shopping center opposite the Melia Cohiba hotel the Jazz Café. Mellow, sophisticated and freezing due to extreme air conditioning, the Jazz Café is not only an excellent place to hear some of Cuba’s top jazz musicians, but the open-plan design also provides for a good bar atmosphere if you want to chat. This is slightly less intimate than La Zorra y el Cuervo, apart from anything else the glass surrounding gives a feeling of openness rather than a more traditional basement. Excellent place.
