Some label it a tourist trap, but this restaurant–entertainment space bivouacked upstairs in a deceptively dilapidated Havana tenement plays some of the most professional Buena Vista Social Club music you'll ever hear. Indeed, this is a Buena Vista Social Club of sorts.
True, there are plenty of tour-bus escapees crowding out the tables, and yes the food's a little anemic, but the musicianship of the horn-blasting, drum-thumping, lung-stretching band, most of whom are of pensionable age, ought to have the likes of Compay Segundo smiling down from the great gig in the sky.
