The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
El Floridita
Havana, Cuba
El Floridita has anchored the corner of Obispo and Monserrate in Old Havana since 1817, when it opened as a modest tavern. The bar became a shrine to the daiquiri and to Ernest Hemingway, whose bronze likeness now occupies his customary stool. Live son and bolero groups play nightly while bartenders work through frozen daiquiris at a pace that suits the crowd.
