Hemingways Bar. Home of the Daiquiri.
History brings the hype. But that's where the charm ends. The love music is pretty good though. The band is talented. Th food and cocktails are alright. They are pricey because they know every tourist visiting Cuba will come here.

I wanted to hate it, I live in a tourist town, but it was fantastic. The drinks, the music, the bar tenders and the other patrons were so much fun. We do speak Spanish, drinks were cheap compared to where we live and we can set our capitalism at the door which you have to do in Cuba, I would go back just to have a daiquiri.

guys lol, it’s super overrated (i hear you saying tell us something we don’t know) ok ok. be super careful they will try to steal you in the conversion since they write on menu prices in MLC and then when it’s time to pay they mention PRICES IN Usd in the receipt so take care. we asked and they said yes because MLC=USD but when we showed them the official app eltoque the waiter said ok ok and agreed to the fair price that should be from the beginning. it is a place full of tourists that just know that this place is popular so it gets more and more people. half cocktails/drinks that they have on the menu are not available and same for food, at least the day we visited. you can visit it for a photo/video. just avoid going to tourist traps there is nothing that you can’t find in your home country.
today’s price 1€= approx.320cup= 1,3MLC

We had to pinch ourselves to be having  a drink in the iconic bar. And to stand by the life-size bronze statue of Hemingway at the end of the bar, where he used to sit. El Floridita or more known more popularly as Hemingway Bar lives up to its legendary reputation. Actually it was originally opened in 1817 as “La Piña de Plata” (The Silver Pineapple) but has been known as El Floridita since 1914. It is famous for Hemingway and the frozen Daiquiri. Hemingway frequented El Floridita where his favourite drink was the Daiquiri. We just enjoyed several visits and the atmosphere and history.
