Lovely show, however if you are looking for a Cuban show and Cuban music, look elsewhere. Service was snooty and uncaring. A better show to be had at the Nacional Parisian. More

We actually wanted to go to Tropicana, but we were told by our Cuban host that we shouldn't waste our money on Tropicana, we should go to Havana Cafe. She was so right! We loved the show! Those artists are very talented! It's also cheap to get in, about 10 CUC per person, the drinks are nice too and it's... More

If you are the kind of person that likes "dinner theater" than this may be for you. I found it to be totally kitsch (and not in a good way.) The decor is like the Hard Rock Cafe, kind of ridiculous if you think about what authentic probably is. While the singers and musicians are talented, as they are everywhere... More

About eight of us went to the Havana Cafe, supposedly a cut rate Tropicana. I think I might have preferred to spend the 70 CUC for the Tropicana! The decor was cute - like a Hard Rock or Round Robin(?) in the states. But the place was the smokiest we were in in two weeks in Havana - and neither... More

I went with five girlfriends and had lots of fun! The place is so charming with two beautiful oldie cars and a plane above us. Dancers were excellent! Music after was great, they even included oldies from the 70's and 80's. Don't miss it! More

Havana cafe is typical cuban place made for tourists. Show is great, dancers and singers are very talented,you will be amazed especially if you are first time in Cuba. Coctel's are very good with fair prices and after the show the dance on stage starts and definitely dancers who are paid from cafe are dancing salsa and other latino-amercian dances,... More

My wife and I went there on a Monday evening, but that's the night it's closed. We returned the following evening(9pm) to find my camera wasn't permitted inside. I was told to leave it at the Melia Cohiba, after the the $20CUC was paid. My wife assured she'd hold the camera and it wouldn't be used. I'd asked as to... More

I just want to keep it simple, it was awesome!!! They have a great show. We went twice and they change the routine so every time you go it will be entertaining. The food was great. And the beverages, Mojito, Piña Colada, Margarita, everything was excellent. I was born and raise in Cuba but never got a chance to visit... More

We got into Varadero late at night and we were hungry, so someone suggested it to us (me and my brother). He order Chicken wings and me a Burger. Now i dont know where... More
