About Cubana Bar-Restaurant
London's freshest, juiciest, best-value & most original Cuban bar-restaurant. Based in Waterloo (& Smithfield).
Cubana Bar-Restaurant Description
Welcome to Cubana, London's freshest, juiciest, best-value, most original and genuine Cuban bar-restaurant!
At Cubana, we believe in value and quality - our tropical cocktails start at just £4 and you can enjoy two-for-one on selected cocktails during Happy Hour (4pm-7pm seven days a week! ).
We're famous for introducing Mojitos to the UK in the 1990s (only £5. 50 or two-for-one at Happy Hour), prepared with Cuban rum and raw organic cane sugar plus fresh mint and lime juice. Be sure to try our fresh passion fruit Mojito too!
All of our cocktails and smoothies are made with fresh fruits and juices - we blend fresh mango, passion fruit, guava, pineapple, strawberries and citrus juices with the very best Cuban rum - along with top tequilas from Mexico, Polish vodka and Brazilian cachaca.
As well as our famous cocktails, we offer a selection of delicious Latin and Iberian wines, Cuban beers and Pilsner on draft
What's more, we serve top quality Cuban mountain coffee.
Our Cantina Lunch starts at just £5 for a main course. At Cubana, we only use free-range chicken, eggs and free-range or Freedom Food pork from British farms - as we always have done - along with organic chorizo sourced from one family farm in Avila, Spain. Our Latin chefs use these quality ingredients to prepare delicious and healthy traditional Cuban Creole dishes as well as a fresh Latin grill. Our fish comes in fresh along with top quality white Devon crabmeat and the very best, melt-in-the-mouth sirloin steaks from Donald Russell of Inverurie
We prepare all of our own salsas and hot chilli sauce ourselves - so our food is healthy, free-range, freshly-prepared - and priced reasonably, with tapas from £3. 25.
So come in for a drink, some tapas or a full meal!
We also cater for small to large parties, providing Cuban cocktail bars and food plus Salsa music and dance for your party or an event at your premises.
*Don't forget we have live Salsa and Latin music from 10. 30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and to 3. 00am on Fridays and Saturdays*
We look forward to welcoming you!

Peel yourself away from that desk! Come and see us for delicious Cuban Barbacoa. You wont regret it! 🔥🇨🇺 👉 cubana.co.uk #Waterloo #Smithfields #London
The food is authentic and extremely good value for money. Very friendly service in a happy atmosphere!
The Sangria is life! Would recommend heading for the happy hour as the cocktail deals for jugs are great. Very reasonably priced!
Really enjoyed our visit after our visit after a trip to the old Vic, very reasonably priced, fast service (and they were pretty busy) we went to Cuba a little while ago and found the food at Cubana to be pretty authentic. I highly recommend the home made strawberry sorbet which is to die for!
My husband and I visited Cubana on our 25th wedding anniversary. It was perfect, made especially so by the seemingly authentic Cuban service. Food was delicious, washed down with a couple of jugs of mohito. We'll definitely return (before our 50th).
I love this bar the food and cocktails are amazing and great staff and it has a great atmosphere really recommend this place
I always i have good time in there always �the music and the people are so nice in the mojitos need to be more better keep practicing please �
Hi!
I am a frequent visitor of your bar and restaurant. Seeing the news about animals dying in the sea because of plastic waste have really gotten me thinking that we should all try to reduce plastic waste.
Would your restaurant consider stopping putting plastic straws in people’s drinks? Or at least put only one straw and not two plastic straws in your cocktails? You could switch to paper straws or just make it optional for customers to pick up their own straw by the bar if they really want, instead of just giving straws to people who did not even ask for them.
Yesterday at the bar, I specifically asked for no straw in my drink and explained that I am avoiding plastic waste, but still I got served a drink with two straws that are now trash for the next 1000. I have read your sustainability plan and it is GREAT that you recycle so much, and oil becomes biodiesel etc. Plastic straws are difficult to recycle and I trust that you strive to reduce waste.
I would be very thankful if you would consider this!
Best regards,
Felicia
Great place to eat, especially during happy hour, 2 for 1�. Food was really tasty and the Chocolate mouse was probably the best desert I had ever had. Great atmosphere as well.
Great food, great cocktails, great music, great atmosphere
Great food, friendly service, reasonable prices, easy online booking and conveniently located near Waterloo station. I will definitely be back!
Great bar, with good music and atmosphere plus great mojitos ! �
Got to recommend the Chefs salad - great flavours! Happy hour is very good value for Cocktails. The pre-theatre 2 or 3 course menu is also a good option. Service is great.
Good vibe, great food and cocktails. I have had camarones criollos and platanos fritos and they were delicious. Staff was lovely and helpful, the service was very quick even though the restaurant was full. After 10pm lot of people dancing and having fun, great atmosphere. Live music and DJ. Definitely recommended for Cuban food and Latin music.
Fantastic place. The food is so good - get the Pollo Criollo! - and, after dinner, it turns into an all night salsa club, it's fantastic. There was also a live band who were just great, and even came down to join us on the dance floor. I went with friends and we danced all night! It was so much fun, I can't wait to go there again. Gracias Cubana!
Cuba lives in London. The decor, the music and vibe. I’ll have to come back for the live band and club nights.
Been a couple of times for food, which is always exceptional, but last night we went later than normal and spent the evening Salsa Dancing away after another great meal.
Absolutely loved it! Great music, great cocktails & an authentic feel to the place. Felt like we were abroad. Thanks guys��
Absolutely loved it here. Been twice now and having been to Cuba twice I can say the food is very authentic. I think I would say go earlier as after 5 it gets really busy (which does add to the atmosphere) but then you only have 90 mins and can feel quite rushed if you like to take you time! They do tell you this on arrival or booking though and I think you can request to stay longer (will be next time as I like to be slow!). Lovely little lounge room upstairs which we sat and drank mojitos in after we finished eating. I love Cuba and everything about it so it’s lovely to have a nice little place in the heart of London I can go to. Also nice it’s not a chain with one on every corner.
Well, what can i say!! Waited over half an hour for a drink and when it came we were told that the wine we wanted was not available.......food eventually came, over cooked chicken. Bland food, could have cooked it better myself. Felt sorry for the lonely lady serving us as she was the only one!!! Had the cheek to charge 12.5% service charge!!! Would never come here again.
