Espacios

Havana


This fabulously chilled tapas bar occupying an unsignposted villa in the diplomatic quarter is where hip habaneros come to consume cocktails and art. Inside, the place has the atmosphere of an informal house party, with fashionable factions of Havana’s brainy and beautiful gathering in different rooms or holding court in the patio and garden.

There’s food available, including wood-fired pizzas, but really Espacios is more about youthful energy, late-night libations and striking avant-garde art.
