Love, love, love this place! Great music and the interior always makes me wish I was in Havana right then. The cocktails are incredibly cheap - during happy hour and even afterwards! My favourite is the frozen margharita. Try it!

Good Cuban themed restaurant/bar on Upper Street. They do some good cocktails here - the Mojitos are particularly pleasant - with happy hour offers available. Also have a few bottled beers available, including the rather nice Cuban 'Cristal'.
Food wise, they do quite reasonable tapas, plus nice food from the full menu.

Had many a messy night in this place. Happy Hour if put to good use sorts you right out.
Mojito's are especially good.

There are crude mannequins of Castro and Kruschev banging his shoe on the desk above you (excellent) as you eat disappointing tapas (bad) and drink average cocktails (average).
Not a pub by any stretch of the imagination but I bet students love it.
Average.

Agree with the last two, mojito's excellent, and happy hour dangerously good value - yet it retains a feeling of a small cuban bar, without all the glitz and fakeness of most cocktail bars. The crowd is good too, giving the place a relaxed, chilled out feel but with the zing of some awesome cocktails.

In there last night, nice mojito, good tapas, altogether pleasant
|
Went last night intending to take advantage of happy hour(s) only but ended up staying to eat due to the great atmosphere, great food at great prices (�15 for two of us to eat). Authentic feel and staff are all native spanish speaking, pleasant and willing to help. Cant rate it enough, will def go back soon.

Great happy hour - be warned the combination of lime and rum cuts the shite clean out of you next morning. Snotty staff, but good cocktails and a decent place to kick start you evening!

I thought the tapas was fantastic when I ate there and a really nice atmosphere too

Very poor service and service with bad manners. I left my glasses there when I ate, when I returned the next day, the waiter at the front just said 'no' when I asked, withourt checking and with cerrtainly no concern!

Unfortunately, this place offered the worst food I had ever been served in a restaurant and with rude service. THe cocktails were brilliant, as is the Happy Hour, encouraging me to go there for my birthday meal. 10 VERY disappointed people left the restaurant. Food was overcooked, greasy, cold, poor quality. Really bad.
