I adore this place. It's my neighborhood (where I live with my family, this is not exactly next to Chez Raquel). The simplicity and humility of its waiters, bartenders and owners is impressive and unique. A beautiful place with no pretensions. Most of them are professionals who preferred to leave their jobs and join this enterprising personal project of their friends (the owners). The owner is a biologist and the owner is a plastic artist.

The name says it all! “Cuban Art Factory”. You simply CAN NOT MISS this place It is a revolutionary project, created with institutions of the ministry of culture but with much investment and autonomy of musicians and artists. It’s a fruit of the changes that have been taking place in Cuba Representation of the arts all! Visual arts, dance, theater, live concerts (JAZZ, FUSHION), electronic music ... You pay the entrance and that entitles you to several things: exhibition of paintings, photography, sculptures and installations in different floors, enjoy some live concerts and DJ areas to dance. Prices are from 3 to 5 $/CUC. The price also depends on the DJ, or on the live group.

Wonderful place to take delicious cocktails and enjoy live music. When the concerts finish, they have DJ/music and people dance until very "early in the morning". Some people call it "the Hard Rock Cafe of Havana". ***Do not miss the jam session on Monday, hosted by the magestic Oliver Valdes. http://www.olivervaldes.com/olivervaldes/INICIO.html
