Do not miss this place! Total heaven for music lovers. Small and intimate with different live bands starting at about 21:00. The place is a little out of the centre, but it makes for a very atmospheric walk there and back (even though the back- streets are dark and have lots of people hanging around they are completely safe: we walked to the venue and back on 3 consecutive nights and felt no threat whatsoever - quite the opposite- we loved It!). You have to pay 2 CUC to get in but it's really worth it, with good drinks service from friendly staff. The atmosphere was so wonderful with a good mixture of a few tourists and plenty of locals. If you want to dance, just do it! There are local male and female dancers to accompany you if you are by yourself or your partner is shy! This place was a highlight of our tour.

A Rock'n'Roll evening in the heart of El Vedado. In the yard of the beautiful "Casa de la Amistad". A spot for good music in havana, frequented by cuban rockers of all ages. Come in, have a beer, order some chips, bring your kids, and enjoy a few hours of live cuban rock'n'roll music hosted by "Vieja Escuela" rock band, and with guests every sunday. Classic rock as well as cuban rock songs .

They say that there is no musician in Cuba that did not play here. There is matinee at 6 PM and evening show at 9 PM. I've been both. Crazy place. Fantastic music and everybody dancing. I Could go there every evening. Right in the center of Santiago.

Visited on Tuesday, July 23, 2019. What a hoot! $25 CUC, open bar. Shuttle picked me up at my resort (Meliã Cayo Coco) at 10:30pm. 10 mins later, we were coming off the shuttle and Wore v. cool, loose clothing, as I had been advised that it gets hot. It wasn't too bad, and right in front of the DJ, cold air blows freely. Brought a fanny pack with a few $CUC in single pesos for tipping. Place started to fill up with shuttles coming from different places, and by 11:15pm, the place was hopping! Awesomely unique dance experience - a Cuban floor show (complete with fire dancers) followed by 30 mins of hard techno, then top 40 hits, with a smattering of MJ, House of Pain, etc. WHAT. A. RIOT. Tons of sweaty tourists dancing their bums off, tons of tables and chairs for sitting, and the guy working the bar was great! Super fast service and friendly. I got served n.p. (with a warm, welcoming smile, too!) I think it helped that I tipped him $2CUC as soon as I got there...kind of paved the way for great service all night. Excursion tips: For the ladies: DO bring what you need in a fanny pack, as opposed to a purse. Easier to dance with, frees up your hands and arms for the inevitable ARMS UP IN THE AIR booty shaking! DO leave all valuables and jewelry at your hotel (not because of the threat of theft, or anything, but rather just peace of mind, knowing that if you DO bump into someone and your bracelet falls off, you won't cry later DO bring a few single peso CUCs to tip the hard-working barkeeper DO bring your own toilet paper/Kleenex, as the toilet (1 cubicle) is not well supplied DO bring dollar store glo-stix to share around if you wish to make instant friends DO bring ear plugs if your hearing is sensitive (or, like mine, damaged from 20 years of clubbing) DO wear comfortable shoes - runners or sandals. Leave the heels at home, ladies - this is NOT Vegas DO go for beer or shots, rather than mixed drinks that involve water or ice DO have a great time. I know I did, and I will be BACK the next time I am in Cayo Coco!

Its a bit of a trek from the town centre so wear comfortable practical shoes. We went early (approx 11.30pm / midnight) before it got too busy and filled with smoke. Amazing place. Definitely worth checking out.
