Gay bars in havana
Miramar is one of the most exclusive areas of Havana, Miramar, is full of beautiful colonial houses, now home to embassies, cultural centers and foreign companies. The ponds of the Emiliano Zapata Park (Avenida 5- Malecon) are worth a visit. The little boats on the River Almendares are also a pretty sight. Palm trees line the avenues and there are a nice number of cafes, bars and restaurants around the Marina Hemingway. Try Sakura, Don Alfredo or Don Cangrejo Restaurant.
Try the Bodeguita del Medio or the Floridita, where Hemingway used to swig his Mojitos and Daiquiris.

LGBTQ+ Nightlife: Six Gay-Friendly Venues to Visit in Havana
This famous El Vedado bar hosts LGBTQ+-themed parties regularly. Every Wednesday, they host glam for “PaZillo Pride” events. Each one celebrates a different subgroup of Cuba’s queer collective – from ladies-only digital dating events to drag queen parties.
No matter when you go, you will hasten into a welcoming and trendy atmosphere. The sustenance menu is relatively basic and limited to burgers and standard appetizers that will help you prolong the night.
Meanwhile, the drinks menu is constantly transforming as they come up with new signature blends. Still, their specialty remains creamy, rum-infused blends with unorthodox fruit juices – from tropical berries to coconut milk or guava extract.

“Which direction should we walk?”
My friend and I had arrived at Mi Cayito beach in Cuba, a stretch of shoreline 15 miles east of Havana, in search of gay Cuba travel experiences. It looked as though the beach extended quite a distance in both directions, so we were unsure where to detect the gay section of beach that supposedly existed.

Our hope that the dude would lead us to the gay beach were realized when, after five minutes of walking west, we spotted the rainbow flag.

The lgbtq+ scene in Cuba’s capital metropolis, Havana, thrives daily as the country gains recognition as a gay-friendly travel destination. Havana was built for strolling, with many cultural attractions and one-of-a-kind activities. However, Havana’s gay nightlife remains a well-guarded secret since the gay scene has yet to enjoy the freedoms experienced by other LGBT communities, such as those in North America and Europe or even their South American counterparts.
When the term Havana is uttered, images of Spanish conquistadors, revolutionary heroes, and the literati and glitterati who once basked on these sun-kissed beaches come to mind. Today, the intriguing history of Cuba’s capital city greets you at every turn, amid the cobblestone lanes of Old Havana, the stunning Cuban Baroque architecture, ancient forts, museums, iconic restaurants, and working public squares.
