Calle 11, entre D y E, Vedado
(+53)7832 - 5373
Open 8.30pm Sun

    • This beautiful Vedado mansion is the headquarters of the renowned theatre troupe Teatro Estudio. Almost every Sunday night, its courtyard hosts well-selected concerts by trovadores, singer-songwriters and young talents in the making. The stage is just a small concrete deck, and there are only a few plastic seats, so arrive early to bag a good place near the front or you’ll be sat on the floor for the performance.
    As shows are usually publicized by word of mouth, phone the venue for more information.

    Café Cantante Mi Habana
