Best Varadero Bars and Places for Drinking
Varadero Beach area is one of the biggest and most popular resort destinations in Cuba.
As a result, the town has a very active nightlife and visitors have many bars and pubs to choose from.
If you are visiting Cuba to party, to have fun, and enjoy the nightlife, rather than being focused on the culture, Varadero is a great location.
You can of course though combine Vardero with a few days in Havana.
Whilst in Varadero, the following bars and nightclubs are some of the best in the area and I can recommend having tried them all out!
La Bamba
(Located in Hotel Tuxpan).
This is one of the party hubs in Varadero and it is very popular among the locals and tourists who visit the town. The drinks and cocktails here are very popular and varied.
The music at La Bamba is mainly hip hop and there is a sizeable dance floor in terms of size.
They do sometimes have a cover charge (normally on weekends) but this does usually include three drinks and is a reasonable cost.
It attracts quite a young crowd and has a great atmosphere. They play a variety of music through the night, all of it is Cuban in style and hence lively.
La Cueva Del Pirata
(Carretera Las Morla)
Make sure to visit this exotic bar and nightclub which is very close to the Melia Varadero.
The main attraction of the place is the fact that it is located inside a cave.
The name of the club literally means the “Cave of the Pirate”.
Quite a unique place to drink and they often have some very good cabaret on in this place.
A really good place to spend an evening and I always visit this bar when I am in Cuba.
Great place for a cheap rum and coke and some lively music.
This is less about great Cuban music than it is about the cave and a chance to be in such a unique location.
Full of tourists like us but it has to be visited.
This is my favourite bar!
La Patana
(Canal de Paso Malo)
This popular bar and club in Varadero is located at the Canal de Paso Malo.
La Patana is very popular also with quite a young local crowd and also tourists.
An excellent dance floor and reasonably priced drinks.
Snack Bar 62
This is a very famous bar in Varadero.
The bar offers a large array of snacks and drinks and one can take these out to the terrace if you would like to enjoy the view while sipping on a cocktail.
