Find it served neat or in icy cocktails in the city\u2019s growing, quirky bars, hotel lobbies, or local cantinas that wrap round corners in the old city. In stores buy it by the bottle or in juice-like cartons, Planchao, favoured by the locals to swig on when partying or hanging out on the city\u2019s oceanfront, the Malec\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Havana\u2019s bars have a long and illustrious history. When Prohibition shuttered the saloons and inns of the USA between 1920 and 1933, thousands of Americans flocked to their island neighbour to drink cocktails in the Cuban capital\u2019s bustling bars. Sloppy Joe\u2019s opened in 1918, just a short amble away from thirsty customers at the Moorish-influenced Hotel Sevilla. Sloppy Joe\u2019s was very popular with American GIs who would flock to the bar for regular drinking sessions. In the 40s, barflies at La Bodeguita del Medio spilled out onto the street with their mojitos in the shadow of the cathedral. And El Floridita, the drinking hole favoured by American writer Ernest Hemingway, started shaking cocktails for clientele as far back as the early 1900s. Hemingway\u2019s record of 16 Papa Doble in one sitting might be tricky. But with a couple of days bar hopping about the city, you\u2019ll definitely adopt the Hemingway swagger.<\/p>\n<p>The hot, tight, balconied streets of Old Havana are blooming with traditional and newly opened bars. On the edge of La Habana Vieja, start with the ancient before embracing the new. The doors of <strong>El Floridita<\/strong> open at midday. Begin your afternoon with its de rigueur daiquiri at the long mahogany bar in the company of live music. Across the road, the <strong>Constante Bar<\/strong> at the Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski is dazzling. Sit amid the luxe, painted foliage of its beautiful bar and order one of its daiquiris, all listed in its menu that pays homage to Constantino Ribalaigua Vert, who perfected the creation of the daiquiri at El Floridita.<\/p>\n<p>Close by on Calle O\u2019Reilly is popular <strong>Sibarita<\/strong>, a rooftop bar with a Tiki vibe serving Tiki drinks. On the alfresco rooftop of mega popular <strong>El del Frente <\/strong>on Calle O\u2019Reilly, bartenders create Cuban cocktails that will slip down a treat. Warning! They\u2019re all served with double measures! My votes are the mojito, pi\u00f1a colada and the superlative canch\u00e1nchara, a traditional Cuban cocktail pimped up and perfected here. At tiny<strong> J\u00edbaro<\/strong>, deep in the sunny streets of southern Old Havana, find craft cocktails as well as a top list of mocktails.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1727 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"best bars in havana - Sibarita\" width=\"955\" height=\"716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1.jpg 955w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lovecuba.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Picture1-750x562.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px\" \/><\/p>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sibarita<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Down in the worn streets of Centro Habana, climb the marble stairs to the rooftop of well-known restaurant-bar <strong>La Guarida<\/strong>.
