What People Are Saying About Havana

The Editor

Anna Roth

Citysearch

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.

Too Busy

by iluvrain

I have been here a couple times and I have always had a fun time, and in fact I did meet my last boyfriend here, but I think that was mainly a coincidence because there were simply soooooooo many people in the freaking place. You are definately bound to find someone you find attractive, no matter who you are.

sick spot

by sizunny

I rolled in with a small group at around 11pm on a friday night, and was shocked to see no line! Cover wasn't bad, $7/e (guys and girls). The DJ was playing some great cuts, modern hip-hop with a few classic rap hits in between, and created a great atmosphere for dancing. Dance floor was fairly packed but there was definitely space to do your thing without accidentally grinding on a stranger. Oddly, dance floor seemed to have a PDA theme, as couples were making out all over the place. The bar was slick and clean, nothing over the top, and was well-staffed. We got our drinks (nobody ordered special cocktails, just standard rum/cokes, long-islands) fast and for fairly cheap, although I can't attest to the "strength" of the cocktails because I was drinking beer all night. Interesting mix of people here, more diversity than I've seen at other spots. Clean, good-looking diversity. Overall, I found Havana to be an awesome place for drinks and dancing - Unpretentious, clean, urban/modern vibe with a classy old-time Havana interior. Will definitely be returning soon.

  • Pros: Music, service
  • Cons: Parking can be a struggle in this area

The Details on Havana

Look Good:

Going 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.

Happy Hour:

Happy hour runs daily 4pm-7pm and features half-price bottles of wine.

Know Before You Go:

There's no street signage--enter through the black awning in the parking lot across from Caffe Vita.

What to Drink:

Not a cocktail person? The bar accommodates every income bracket: hipsters sip cheap Oly, while after-work suits savor high-end Scotch.

When to Go:

All nights of the week feature DJs. The mix is fairly eclectic.

The Extras:

Hungry? Skip the snacks--the staff will gladly order a pizza from Via Tribunali.
