The ViewLondon Review
Hot and raunchy Latin dance moves to the rumble of Caribbean rhythms are bound to get you swinging your hips to salsa and guzzling the infamous mojito cocktail at this authentic Cuban ghetto.
The Venue
Along the strip of bars in the prestigious Fulham zone Fiesta Havana offers Latin American food, cocktails and dance all in one place. A true Cuban feel of the underground with wooden decor and the smell of rustic oak and cigars. The restaurant stands on an upper tier, creating a division from the long bar that sits on the L-shaped dancefloor. There is a DJ box, a stage and at the end is an arched enclave with a seating area to chill and chat. Cloakroom space is limited, so get there earlier to ensure your belongings are kept safe.
The Atmosphere
Fiesta Havana is comfortably busy at around 6pm with an excellent happy hour. By 10pm the bar is heaving, it does get hot and steamy and don’t be surprised to find a random short, dark haired Latin character swinging you around on the dancefloor. You may choose to get some practice in with Salsa lessons available during the week. On the weekend, there is a small entrance fee after 10pm and renowned DJs play a mix of Latin music and British dance tunes.
The Food
The menu at Fiesta Havana offers an array of delicious Latin American dishes such as sizzling fajitas, tempting tapas and other house specialities. Prices are reasonable and the choice is broad.
The Drink
There is a whole menu of cocktails served by the glass or jug, offered at discount prices during happy hour. Fiesta Havana is particularly proud of its selection of aged rums, spirits and homemade Cuban cigars on offer.
The Last Word
If you want a taste of underground Cuban culture then try out your sexy salsa moves at Fiesta Havana.
