Club Name: Havana Bar and Restaurant

Opened: Daily
Sitting Capacity: 100-120 patrons Rating: 7/10
Description
The idea of marketing itself as the ideal party place for Cuban themes and ambiance for eight years, has made Havana cut a niche, especially that of a very high class, in the ever competitive entertainment hub of Westlands.
This is further bolstered by the variety of daily theme nights ranging from salsa parties on Mondays and Tuesdays to Havana-Tronic on Thursdays, all party music (except lingala) and latest hits by deejays on Fridays, and live bands on Saturdays.
Its pricing on the tipples is somewhat similar to that of its competition with local beer retailing at Sh250. However, its rarity in selling full bottles of spirits has been substituted by offering shots at Sh250, a service that has created a loyal fan base of many patrons.
And while it has been limited in space compared to other clubs, Havana prides itself in offering auxiliary services such as hosting small private parties and corporate gigs.
