  1. A

    Havana Salsa

    You can't fail to notice the fake Havana-themed facade to this established Cuba-inspired dance venue/restaurant. It's the place to go if you can't help shaking to the 'uno dos tres' of the salsa beat. Some extravagant live shows are also staged here.

  4. D

    La Piojera

    Saved from developers by protests from its loyal clientele – including presidents and poets – this bare-bones drinking den is the real deal. Noisy regulars pack the sticky tables, which are crammed with glass tumblers of the two house specialties: chicha, sweet Chilean cider, and the earth-moving (or gut-wrenching) terre­moto, a potent mix of wine and ice cream. Sawdust strewn on the cement floor soaks up spillage.
