Frommer's Review

Havana's only brewpub is blessed with a beautiful setting on a corner overlooking Plaza Vieja. Grab a seat at one of the wrought-iron tables under a broad canvas umbrella on the edge of the plaza when the weather's right, or one of the heavy wooden tables on the covered patio or indoor dining room when it's not. The small and simple menu is made up almost entirely of grilled-to-order pork chops, chicken breasts, or fish filets, or kabobs of chicken, shrimp, lobster, or a mix of the three. Order a pint of the home-brewed amber or dark beer and admire the large copper brewing tanks just behind the bar. Large groups or heavy drinkers can order a dispensa, a tall, clear glass tube filled with beer, featuring a spout at the bottom and a thinner tube filled with ice running up its center. Service can be annoyingly slack when it's busy.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
