Loved being there. We were there to see El Mola last Saturday. Good music, nice atmosphere, clean, organized and the team was AMAZING! Very professional girls. They were all super attentive to every detail and work as a team. We were blown away. If you want a good time and a safe place. I recommend it here. ...

We did not eat therefore we can only assume it would be just as amazing as the cigars, drink and staff. Great music and atmosphere to come smoke some great cigars and relax.

I've been here twice. First time i brought my own cigar and had it inside. Very comfy couches. Staff is great! Drinks are just as you want them to be, great! But this second time i went i tried their cigar and, DAMN!, it was great! I need to try it again to see if it beats my favorite cigar. It was their DUO, a double Maduro. Their cigars are abit on the pricey side, but well worth it. If you like cigars, cuban/spanish music, and rum. You have to try this spot. I will def be visiting again and again!

Im a local and regularly bring my out of town guests here. I love this spot, this is the REAL MIAMI. Come to little Havana enjoy the area and stop in for a drink and smoke. Enjoy the live music and the ambiance. Joel the bartender and Mari the waitress are great! I also love Jose the owner and his wife are wonderful and very welcoming!

A true gem recently shared with me by well-traveled friend. All the greatness of Little Havana without the “tourist” feel but not lacking authenticity one bit. If in Miami it’s worth the trip to little Havana - it’s a must stop by whether intentions to explore Little Havana or not (which anyone who hasn’t should and anyone who has always comes back). Skip the tourist attractions and come for great service, cigars, drinks, company, music (live or otherwise), The atmosphere is incredible; from the art on the wall to the floor to humidor and bar. My new favorite “cigar bar” and I’ve been to many! Bartenders and service staff are passionate, experienced, personable but fun, so much fun all while maintaining professional, talented and genuine service. Highly recommend! Enjoy!
