Club entertainment in Cuba

  1. A

    Disco Ayala

    It might not be the first time you’ve gone jiving in a cave, but this surreal place up by the Ermita Popa church beats all others for atmosphere and animation. While it’s mainly a place to let rip and dance J-Lo style in the semi-darkness with as many mojitos as you care to sink, this disco also puts on a decent cabaret show with a pre-Columbian Indian theme.

    Club El Iris

    Just off Plaza de Marte, with an old-fashioned neon sign (which rarely works), the Iris is Santiago de Cuba’s loudest, hottest and most ‘happening’ disco. The cover includes one drink, but at night it’s couples only. Things generally get moving around midnight.

    Discoteca Espanta Sueño

    This is the Meliá Santiago de Cuba’s house disco; entry is through the hotel lobby, ostensibly to keep out jineteras, though they’re more relaxed these days.

    Varadero’s most modern video disco is at Hotel Tuxpán, in eastern Varadero. It plays mostly Latin music and is considered ‘hot.’

    Discoteca Havana Club

    Near the Centro Comercial Copey, this is another tourist disco that welcomes Cubans. Expect big, boisterous crowds and plenty of male posturing.
