Beatles Bar-Restaurant

Top choice in Varadero


A roquero’s (Cuban rock fan's) delight on the edge of Parque Josone, honoring the previously banned Beatles in a bar that evokes the decidedly un-Cuban swinging spirit of the 1960s. Simple food and beer are served but the real draw is the live rock ’n’ roll kicking off alfresco at 10pm most nights. Varadero's best night out.

Count on energetic covers of Led Zep, the Stones, Pink Floyd and you-know-who.
