El Floridita had two main rooms. Seen above is the bar area located at the front, where they serve their famous daiquiris. It was lively and packed. We managed to find a large table in the back corner. It’s certainly a tourist attraction. It’s been that way since the 1930s, attracting locals, celebrities, and tourists for nearly a century.

The place had a fantastic vibe. Of course, I have no idea what this place was like in the 1930s or the 1950s before the revolution. However, it had an old-timey, animated atmosphere.

The backroom was the dining room. I walked in since it was open, but it was too early for dinner. They serve a full seafood menu, and the interior has a Cuban fine-dining room appearance from the 1950s—an authentic touch of old-world luxury. We didn’t eat there; we just stopped in for drinks.
