The Best Cocktail Bars Near Bar Havana Club, by the Record

Attached to the Havana Club rum museum in Old Havana, this cocktail bar is done up as a 1930s-era drinking room, all dark wood and period detail. The museum tour technically ends here, though skipping straight to a daiquiri is a defensible life choice. The rum is the point, and the setting makes the glass taste like context. Coach tours roll through, so timing is everything.

The rooftop poolside bar in the newer wing and the lush conservatory lobby in the original building split the difference between colonial grandeur and something almost Mediterranean. Both pour from the same menu, heavy on premium spirits and classic cocktails with garnishes that mean business. For Havana, that kind of consistency is its own small miracle. Come for a daiquiri while the city hums below.
