The best bar in Havana

What is special about this bar is that there is a mix of locals and the discerning tourists that find their way into it. That leads to chatting, dancing, partying and a general atmosphere of fun and friendship. On top of that is the music from the wonderful bands playing intimately acoustically and dynamically and inspiring a mood of dance and friendship. So you will find wonderful music in many of the other bars in old Havana,but you will struggle to find the special atmosphere that you get in Escabeche. On top of that you have what I think is the best band in HaVANA the sexteto Cafe, with mostly beautiful women playing beautiful music - I could spend my life just being there and listening to them - if my liver could hold out.
