Cuba holidays. Night life.
Going on holidays to Cuba and wondering where to go at night? Well do not wonder anymore I am going to leave you here with a list of the coolest places in Havana. Tropicana
This huge nightclub, open-air in fair weather, is certainly the most famous in Cuba and perhaps in the whole Caribbean. A national institution since its opening in 1939, it is located at the south end of Vedado, quite far out in the city’s western outskirts, but is served by shuttle-buses stopping at the major hotels. Prices may seem steep, including transportation and one cocktail, but you get your money’s worth. The floorshow is truly spectacular, with scores of gorgeous, extravagantly costumed dancers, male and female, strutting their stuff on the stage and snaking their way among the tables in an exotic setting of tropical vegetation. The atmosphere is quite as intoxicating as the freely flowing rum, tempting the most staid custurners to get up on their chairs and dance. Parisien
The opulent cabaret is located in the hotel whose guests once ranged from Winston Churchill to Ava Gardner—and several less savoury but equally renowned American mafiosi such as Meyer Lansky. Before the Revolution, Frank Sinatra sang here. Today, you can enjoy a splashy floor- show, smaller in scale than the Tropicana (and priced more modestly), but just as lively, and then launch into your own salsa, rumba and mambo when the dance- floor is opened to disco music. Copa Rum
Replacing the legendary Palacio de Ia Salsa, the old hotel’s night club has been refurbished to capture the glittering atmosphere of the 1950s. Under the old nick name of the famous Copacabana, it has two floorshows, at 10 p.m. and midnight, with prices moderately expensive. Café Cantante.
There are no frills here, and the prices are more modest, but the performance of Havana’s most celebrated son and salsa groups such as Los Van Van and Charanga Habanera make this club in the basement of the national theatre a favourite nightspot for young Cubans. You may have to compete with long queues of Habaneros to get in, but it is well worth it for the high-octane ambience. Whether there is a concert or disco, people are dancing non stop. Delirio Habanero
Despite its delirious name, this café bar upstairs in the national theatre has a more sedate atmosphere than most of the other clubs. It attracts mostly Cuban students and artists listening and occasionally dancing to the city’s newest groups. The music is first class and the price of drinks very reasonable. La Tropical
Located on the southern outskirts of town, this big open-air night club is without doubt Havana’s hottest spot, where 9 out of 10 guests are Cubans. This is the place to learn the newest Latin American dances. To enjoy the uninhibited atmosphere to the full, but without unnecessary paranoia, leave your jewels and extra cash at the hotel. La Zorra y el Cuervo.
With an old bright red London telephone box for its entrance, “The Vixen and the Crow” presents the best in live Afro-Cuban and Latin American jazz in a modest but pleasant club atmosphere—but for listening rather than dancing. The prices are moderate. Stay with us there will be much more coming soon in other provinces in Cuba
