Cubaocho

Top choice in Little Havana


Jewel of the Little Havana Art District, Cubaocho is renowned for its concerts, with excellent bands from across the Spanish-speaking world. It's also a community center, art gallery and research outpost for all things Cuban. The interior resembles an old Havana cigar bar, yet the walls are decked out in artwork that references both the classical past of Cuban art and its avant-garde future.

Aside from the busy concert schedule, Cubaocho also has film screenings, drama performances, readings and other events.
