Strong yet sweet, like Cuban coffee, Little Havana won’t leave you indifferent.
Little Havana, a haven to many newcomers, is named after Havana, the capital of Cuba. One of Miami’s most vibrant and world-famous neighborhoods, it’s located around Calle Ocho (SW 8th St.) and packed with Latin-inspired restaurants, rum bars, cigar shops, bakeries, art galleries, and music venues.
This area has loads of character, with murals, mosaic tiles, and walls covered with portraits of Cuban legends adorning Calle Ocho. It hosts 3 annual Latin festivals where the party doesn’t stop till morning.
The best way to experience this neighborhood is through its amazing food. Many locals and visitors from around the world come here purely for authentic Latin cuisine.
The ambiance of Little Havana is unlike any other. At any time of day, visitors bustle about, exploring the unique foods and drinks, galleries, and music spots.
Many residents come to Máximo Gómez Park for passionate political discussions and games of dominoes. Locals also love to gather by ventanitas (small windows) and in the iconic Versailles restaurant for some strong and sweet Cuban coffee, traditional entrees, specialty pastries, Cuban sandwiches, and heated talking. At night, they dance salsa and bachata and enjoy live music in many charming venues.
Because this is an older neighborhood, most apartments are that way too. This area isn’t for someone looking for modern accommodations, but it’s nice for residents who like to immerse themselves in history and culture.
Visit Cubaocho Museum and Performing Arts Center for the rotating art exhibits, music performances, and the best mojitos in town. Ball and Chain is an iconic, late-night live music venue that brings in musicians from all over Miami and the world. Right next to it, don’t miss Azucar, an artisanal ice cream shop with Cuban specialties, like “Abuela,” made with guava, cream cheese, and Maria crackers.
Little Havana offers great historic and cultural value, but it can get a bit rowdy. Explore the area thoroughly before you rent to find a spot that fits your lifestyle and needs.
