Havana Nightlife

Havana nightlife is thriving and the choice of venues - especially for live music - will keep you moving and grooving all vacation long. The social scene starts to liven up by about 2200 and clubs and bars tend to close when the last customer leaves, normally between 0200 and 0300. Generally, Cubans like to look sharp, especially when out on the town, so expect to dress up when going out. Indeed, many clubs observe a dress code: no shorts, singlets, or flip flops.

Cuba's rich cultural mix combined with the government's enthusiastic dedication to the arts makes for a truly amazing variety of artistic genres, particularly in the field of popular music. Standards are extraordinarily high and Cuban artists have achieved international fame. Two websites with updated cultural listings are www.cubaabsolutely.com and www.suenacubano.com/cartelera. You can buy tickets for all events directly at the venue.
