An Ernest Hemingway haunt that prior to the revolution was a bohemian hole-in- the-wall where locals, tourists and celebrities could safely go slumming. The bar started out as a small general store prior to its transformation into the celebrated pub famous for its mojito cocktails. According to legend, the hard-drinking Hemingway remarked, “I take my mojitos at La Bodeguita and my daiquiris at La Floridita.” Typically packed with tourists, so go after 9pm when it’s quieter.
