Malecón y Calle 20, Vedado
12m to 12am. daily
This bar is located in an old fortress at the mouth of the Río Almendares and offers some good views and nice atmosphere, weather permitting (when there is a stiff breeze, waves will crash over the place). There is also a restaurant upstairs.
This place almost merges with the young Cubans who hang out on the malecon just outside which gives the whole area a little bit of a buzz and a grimy authentic Havana feel.
