Havana on Commercial Drive is an absolute gem in Vancouver! 🌟🇨🇺 From the moment we walked in, the energy was buzzing ⚡ — warm, vibrant, and so welcoming. The décor is colorful 🎨, the music is lively 🎶, and the whole vibe just feels like a mini vacation! ☀️🌴 Perfect for date night ❤️, casual hangouts 🍻, or even solo chill time.
Food:
We went all in — and wow. 🤤 We had the Cubano sandwich 🥪, pulled pork tacos 🌮, and plantain chips with guac 🍌🥑 to start. Every bite = flavor explosion. 💥 The Cubano was perfectly pressed and cheesy 🧀, the tacos were juicy and fresh, and those plantains… dreamy. Don’t skip dessert either — the churros were warm, crispy, and dipped in chocolate heaven 🍫🔥.
Drinks:
Cocktails were on point — we tried the Mojito 🍃🍸 and the Havana Old Fashioned 🥃. So refreshing and bold. Bartenders here know their craft. 👨🍳👏
Service:
Service was amazing! 🙌 Everyone we met was friendly 😄, super helpful, and genuinely passionate about the place. Shoutout to our server for solid recos and great vibes the whole time ✨💬
Atmosphere:
Cozy inside 🛋️, but the patio is a total vibe 🌇🔥. It’s heated, covered, and perfect for people-watching on The Drive. Great music, cool art on the walls 🖼️, and the whole place has that laid-back but buzzing feel.
Pro tips:
• 📅 Book ahead on weekends — it gets packed!
• 🍳 Check out brunch — it’s a hidden gem.
• 🥗 Plenty of veggie + gluten-free options!
• 🎭 Bonus: there’s a theatre in the back for local performances. So cool!
Final thoughts:
This spot gets it. ✅ Food slaps, drinks hit, staff rules, and the vibe is immaculate. 💯
Havana is easily one of my fav spots on The Drive.
