Great bar with an amazing atmosphere, delicious cocktails, and excellent music. The highlight of the night was Michael—he was friendly, professional, and made us feel right at home. His recommendations were spot on, and his outstanding service made the experience even better. I highly recommend stopping by and asking for Michael if you want exceptional service. We'll definitely be back!

As soon as you walk in, you are transported back into time and place. Guantanamera cigars in Little Havana Miami was great! From the decor to the Service to the music, everything was great. JOEL took care of us at the bar. Amazing drinks, cigar recommendation on point! Everything absolutely perfect. Very friendly great conversationalist would highly recommend visiting and tell Joel we said hello!

Well we need to talk vibes rn…. You looking for the right miami/cuban vibe this is it. I can talk about my experience… there was live music, people dancing and tourists coming in and out. I was there for about 2h and I can say I had a good time. I got a couple of cocktails and a cigar that I bought in the place. Great variety and not bad for the price. Service was okay, Miguel made sure I was good and provided a great experience! Thank you!
