"Later that night, they stopped in at La Bodeguita del Medio, a 70-year-old bar and restaurant that is, as Hemingway once pointed out, one of the best places in Havana for a mojito." - Mark Kurlansky

Wonderful place, not at least because I reminded some of the patrons of Hemingway 🤣😂 Excellent mojitos and a very good live band. Loved the lobster cubana. Yum. Want to have a great time in Havana, don't miss this place

Amazing, very delicious, we had the lobster it was perfect, the lemonades were not that good i tried better in cuba, i think they add lots of sugar. Beautiful atmosphere

This is a very historic pub. One of Hemingway's favourite bars, a must-see historical place. However, it is not recommended to eat or drink anything because they use the ingredients sparingly and it is unnecessarily expensive.

Totally overrated! The front is filled with tourists all hours of the day. The food is ok, but nothing special. We tried the Ropa Vieja because a lot of people here recommend it... it was mediocre. The Mojitos are really small. All in all, a tourist trap. You can find a better place to eat with more delicious food! The live music was great, but it is practically everywhere in Havana.

this is a “must” in l’Habana. The excellent staff remains a straight for this location. Special thanks for his warm welcoming to the person that speaks an excellent Italian (sorry I forgot the name). Food at very good level with the atmosphere doing the rest. Many thanks and see you next time for sure

As per usual in Cuba, drinks for the win, food for the ... On an all serious note, the food wasn't terrible. I was given a limited choice of around 5 dishes on a menu of 10 plus. I'm finding this a common happening in Havana. I went with the pork steak. It came with cold vegetables and the classic rice and beans which were just fine. The pork was slightly dry but was helped by a garnish of spring onions - definitely not terrible. Where things go tremendously downhill is the side dish of roast potatoes - just not edible. Sweet, sweet sweet. I can't stand overly sweet potatoes. I'm yet to have a good potato in Havana and I'm convinced that if they can't get it right here - there's very little to no hope elsewhere. (UPDATE: I have now been to Vinales and Playa Larga and I can happily report that good potatoes can be found!) On a plus, the service and atmosphere are pretty much perfect - although for the second half of my meal the live music which had welcomed me in a such a classically Bondesque fashion had stopped which was a shame. All the waitors (other than one old guy who was possibly the owner) were jolly and served with grace. Another high will forever be with me - of course the Mojito. As expected it was amazing. IMPORTANT - If you're paying by card, the rates will be alot higher than expected as it's the official rate for CUP - USD. I was expecting $13 but was charged $36. Bring CUP cash!

Great place to go for a Mojito. This place also offers foods but I just went for drinks. Live band available which makes the atmosphere even better!
