Cubaocho Museum & Performing Arts Center

On the Grid : Cuba Ocho Museum and Performing Arts Center

"Cuba Ocho is Little Havana's gumbo stew—it has a little bit of everything mixed in to create its own flavor. The venue wears many hats—operating as a gallery and cultural center throughout the day, and transforming into an energetic bar/lounge at night. Ownership has a vast collection Cuba's history told in the form of art and texts. Their beautifully adorned bar includes an extensive collection of rum. On any given night, you may wander into a large, outdoor drum circle or find yourself enjoying one of their stand-up comedy acts." - Colada Collective

Art and Culture in Miami

"Though you don’t need to go far to immerse yourself in Cuban culture in Miami, the Cubaocho Museum is as close to being in Havana as you’ll get without crossing the water. Part art museum, part live music venue, part grand old bar, this spot has walls lined with pre-revolutionary Cuban art and live music most nights of the week. Inside you’ll find Cuban bands playing while people who still remember Cuba “the way it was” dance like they’re young again — all while bartenders sling fresh mojitos from behind a towering mahogany bar." - MATADOR_NETWORK

Part gallery, rum bar, and music venue, Cubaocho keeps pre-revolution Cuban art and live salsa at the center of Calle Ocho. Frequently recommended by Time Out and U.S. News Travel, and still buzzing with locals late into the night.
