Jazz Café |
Jazz Café
This is Chuchó Valdés' turf. His group Irakere and other famous Cuban jazz bands often play here in two sets starting at 8pm and 11pm. Afterwards the place turns into a lively disco. The atmosphere is mellow and sophisticated. The café also operates as a restaurant, so come early to nab a good table.
A sleek and savvy venue with class acts, a laid-back welcoming ambience and a highly appreciative audience. The star-studded line up includes legendary pianist Chucho Valdés, and the 10 CUC consumo mínimo is easy to satisfy, with inspired bartenders serving up punchy, price-conscious cocktails for 2 CUC. A top night for jazz lovers.

Better known as 'el Carlos Marx', this is Havana's largest theatre, with a seating capacity of almost 5,000.

Tourist tickets are priced in dollars, but you can often pay in pesos

Famous in the all the town; close to the tunnel which separates Miramar from El Vedado. The decoration is about sports, with many different objects, t-shirts, posters on the walls and videos on the televisions.
