Gay Havana

As the spirited capital and largest city, Havana is the epicenter of gay nightlife and culture in Cuba. The Vedado neighborhood is the main gathering point, with a high concentration of gay-friendly bars, clubs, and cabarets. Hotspots include Cabaret Las Vegas, a drag theater show, and popular bars like Infinito and Karachi. The Malecón waterfront promenade and La Rampa area near the Hotel Nacional are other social hubs.

Smaller cities like Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, and Santiago de Cuba have LGBTQ-friendly venues as well. The seaside town of Guanabo, east of Havana, hosts popular drag shows. But Havana offers the widest selection and most vibrant scene.
