Editorial Review for Havana – by Anna Roth
In Short
The bright room offers a boatload of island atmosphere: an original tin ceiling, old-fashioned marble bar, vintage light fixtures and gently swaying potted palms. Big red booths and an open dance floor encourage socializing, while a dark alcove above practically mandates canoodling. Cocktails are a mix between new concoctions and old-fashioned recipes like the El Floridita--a.k.a. the original daiquiri--made with Bacardi white rum, Maraska maraschino liqueur and fresh grapefruit and lime juice.

Insider Tips
Happy HourHappy hour runs daily 4pm-7pm and features half-price bottles of wine.
Know Before You GoThere's no street signage--enter through the black awning in the parking lot across from Caffe Vita.
What to DrinkNot a cocktail person? The bar accommodates every income bracket: hipsters sip cheap Oly, while after-work suits savor high-end Scotch.
When to GoAll nights of the week feature DJs. The mix is fairly eclectic.
The ExtrasHungry? Skip the snacks--the staff will gladly order a pizza from Via Tribunali.
Look GoodGoing in with a group? Call ahead to make a reservation--there's a large booth that's great for parties and an upstairs lounge that can accomodate big groups.

I went to Havanna last night and when I order two mojitos the bartender (has a tattoo that says Yee Haw on his arm) said that will be $17, then when I told him I was paying with a credit card, he rung me up and all the sudden it was $15. Later on with the same bartender I order two Peligrinos and I mojito, when I asked how much he said $16, then when he rang it up, it was $11. Shaaaaaaaaaaaaady, I think someone was trying to get themselves a big tip but when he had to ring it up, had to come clean. What a loser! I will not be going back to this place.

I've been to Havana several times and I've never been disappointed. As far as decor and ambiance go--it's one of my favorite places in Seattle. Tucked in from the street, bold colors, tall windows, big plants, it all makes for a cozy tropical feeling. It's different from other bars/clubs in the area, and whether I show up for a mojito on a week night or go out with a group of friends on the weekend, I always have a good time.
Pros: Atmosphere, crowd, bartenders/drinks, etc.
