Best for: Quality neighborhood cafeteria. Pleasant surroundings and surprisingly busy.

Worst for: At the end this is still a cafeteria

Calle 13, entre F y G, Vedado

11.30am to 1.30am daily

In the interests of transparency I have to admit that this used to be my local and I maintain a very soft spot for the place. With greenery on all sides and a (generally nonfunctioning) fountain in the middle, it is a very pleasant spot in any event. This is residential territory so do not expect wild salsa or table dancing but instead a pleasant and normal café bar mostly frequented by middle-class Cubans having a beer or three.

Telégrafo Hotel bar LH 2+

La Red LH 2

A small underground bar which has a variety of shows and live music. If you are close by and want to pop in, it’s a good option; otherwise not too much to commend it. Does good temba.

Ambos Mundos Hotel (Lobby Bar) LH 2+

Close to the Yara cinema, this is a regular bar that has become a gay evening hangout simply because most of its clients happen to be, well, gay.
