Cubaocho is the stop that explains Little Havana: paintings from Cuba's exile and pre-revolution years on the walls, a long bar of rums underneath them, and live music on the stage most nights.

Why you go

Because nowhere else lets you look at a serious collection of Cuban art with a glass of rum in your hand. The room is part gallery, part bar, part concert hall, and the mix works: afternoons are for the paintings, evenings for the bands. It sits on the main Calle Ocho block beside the cigar shops.

When to go

Closed Monday. Open from 11 am Tuesday to Sunday, until midnight most nights and until 2 am on Friday and Saturday. Daytime for the art and a coffee; after 9 pm for the music.

Know before you go

Entry to look at the art is free; you pay for drinks and ticketed shows. The address is 1465 SW 8th Street, unit 106, in the same complex as Guantanamera. Parking is street or the paid lots on Calle Ocho.
