  1. A

    El Chevere

    One of Habana’s most popular discos, this alfresco place in a lush park gets local tongues wagging, and hosts a good mix of Cubans and tourists.

    Café Cantante

    Below the Teatro Nacional de Cuba (side entrance), this place is a hip disco that offers live salsa music and dancing, as well as bar snacks and food. The clientele is mainly ‘yummies’ (young urban Marxist managers) and ageing sugar-daddy tourists with their youthful Cuban girlfriends. Musically, there are regular appearances from big-name singers such as Haila María Mompie. No shorts, T-shirts or hats may be worn, and no under-18-year-olds are allowed.

    Cabaret Las Vegas

    Don’t get duped into thinking this is another Tropicana. On the contrary, Cabaret Las Vegas is a rough and seedy local music dive (with a midnight show) where a little rum and a lot of No moleste, por favor will help you withstand the overzealous entreaties of the hordes of haranguing jineteras.

    Pico Blanco

    An insanely popular nightclub, the Pico Blanco is situated on the 14th floor of the Hotel St John’s in Vedado and kicks off nightly at 9pm. The program can be hit or miss. Some nights it’s karaoke and cheesy boleros, another it’s jamming with some rather famous Cuban musicians.

    Club Tropical

    Cheap but a little out of the way, this Vedado nightspot is where you come when your budget’s blown but you still want to dance the night away to a variety of salsa, pop and rap.

    Discoteca Amanecer

    Discoteca Amanecer (Dawn Disco) is a cheap Vedado nightspot that mixes pop and rap. Whether you’ll want to stay here until dawn is another matter.

    The Karachi is a ferociously caliente disco situated on a leafy Vedado street corner.
