About Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina

Old's Havana Cuban Bar & Cocina brings the spirit of pre-revolutionary Havana to Miami's iconic Calle Ocho, right beside the famous Domino Park. The energetic restaurant and bar transports guests through vintage decor, old photographs, and a habanera atmosphere that celebrates Cuba before Castro.

The menu centers on deeply traditional dishes — ropa vieja, vaca frita, lechón asado, Cuban sandwiches, and masitas de cerdo — paired with handcrafted cocktails including passion fruit and coconut mojitos that keep regulars coming back. Live music fills the room nightly, making every meal feel like a celebration.

With over 23,000 Google reviews and a 4.8-star rating, Old's Havana is beloved by both Miami locals and international visitors seeking an authentic slice of Cuban culture.

The back patio (La Terraza) offers an outdoor escape perfect for cigars and cold drinks. Priced at $$, it delivers exceptional value for the experience, and reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.
