Havana Vancouver in Vancouver

Went there for drinks. Didnt have food. My sister, who has had food there before, didnt really like it, but did point out how great the cocktails were - I agree 200% after I went there for the first time and experienced the beverages myself. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend! Would for sure go back there. The bonus was our bartender - didnt get his name, but he was there between 5:30pm and 7pm on December 21. We felt he was such a sunshine boy, in the sense that he helped brighten up our day.

Excellent place, an experience to find Havana details in Vancouver

Reserved for 6, the service and food was great!

The vibe is good, service is nice too, but the portion of food is really minimal. That would be the only not so great about the place. Otherwise a nice spot to chill.

Havana restaurant has an amazing vibe with a fantastic atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff. The food and drinks are also great! Especially the happy hour menu.

Soooooo disappointed with the service we received last night! Used to love coming to this spot but my experience yesterday really taints the place. Within 20 minutes of sitting down with some friends, server tells us we ll need to leave in 90 mins for another reservation. Fair enough, restaurants need turnover. We felt pressured to order our dinner quickly given this and the server was no where to be seen to check on us after drink orders so we needed to ask other random server for help (especially since they communicated that another reservation was coming). It seemed strange to tell us this and then not give us a chance to order our food. When we were wrapping up our meal and drinks, they reminded us AGAIN to leave and said take your things and your last sips and basically booted us out. It was honestly, the rudest service I have ever encountered in Vancouver. We were all shocked. It felt like we were being scolded. Wish that they had delivered the message more tactfully and considerately. I get that we needed to leave but some politeness and customer consideration goes a long way. I wanted to order dessert and another drink but it was clear we were no longer welcome there.

Absolutely perfect!

Great food and atmosphere! Friendly and hardworking staff! Great place to meet with friends and enjoy! Fish taco with salad delicious! 100% recommend!

We went to Havana last night and had extremely great service from all points of contact. The host working the front door was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and honestly very funny. We were a walk in table of four and got us a spot within 15 minutes inside, after telling us it would more realistically be 30 minutes. Our server was just as wonderful! He answered all of our questions about drinks, knew a tonne about the food and he had a personality and was more than surface level. I come from the service industry myself and my experience last night was nothing short of amazing. I love this restaurant and have always had an amazing time with the staff.

Vegetarian options: Excellent Food

Yuuuuum

Good food, great atmosphere and great service! Food portion were smaller than expected but the service made up for it.

Everything was great! Numerous tasty vegetarian options!

Laura was fantastic - loved our drinks!

Ray was the tits

Ray was an excellent server, will be back!

Ray is amazing and she served us some amazing food and drinks!

Katiee what a server! Great spot for a drink and food

Food was delicious! Highly recommend the coconut curry! Kaitee was an amazing server!

Came for brunch this morning. But I stayed for the lovely service of Murphy! She was very kind and lovely and really makes you feel welcomed!

Food was amazing. The corn dip is phenomenal. And the service was so great!! Cody and Liam were so helpful choosing Halloween drinks and so attentive during our whole meal!

Food was DELICIOUS! Cody was an amazing server, I would definitely like to get Cody again next time I m back

Love the patio. Very cosy! Anika was very sweet and a great server. Thank you.

Had a veggie burger and cucumber mojito The veggie burger was good, buns were very crumbly so it got messy The mojito was good as well Food : 4/5

Had excellent service. Rae was amazing!

Havana has become a staple on the drive. They do everything right in terms of nailing down the basics. The food is on point the staff are friendly and always available to help. The drinks are also fun and unique. They have a great variety of different drinks and really fit the theme they are going for. Best of all they are consistent. They are an easy recommendation because you know anyone you send will have the same great experience which is how they became a drive staple. Also shout out to shimona and bryan, they absolutely crushed it!

Had a lovely dinner last night with a group of friends. We shared the paella and it was delicious. As for drinks I had the Santa Clara sling that our server Ray recommended and let s just say I was not disappointed. 10/10 would recommend!

Great place to enjoy lunch with friends. Servers where super nice and very pleasant. The food was awesome, will be back for more

I came here for the first time with my girlfriend last week and had the best experience. Our server, Shimona was so knowledgeable on all of the food and drinks and made great recommendations. Loved the mussels! Would come back!

Had really fun Halloween cocktails served with toy syringes! Tostones were yummy with the aioli. The happy hour menu is great. I enjoyed the bread that came with the mussels. The walls have years of graffiti from customers. Let them know you want to add to it, and they will give you nails to do so.

I wanted to go out on a date with my girlfriend and I was thrilled to find a Cuban restaurant. Coming from Tampa Bay, Fl area I was stoked. The place has a great atmosphere but it is far from being a Cuban restaurant. Cuban food staples such as ropa vieja and fried pork chunks nowhere to be found. Second, I ordered tostones but there was no olive with garlic sauce. There were tacos .far from being Cuban food.

I ll start by saying this, the food we ordered tasted great - it s just the portion size vs price is not worth it. What s with charging $20 for a tiny meal? I know it s commercial drive but I d think for $20 you would get more. My huevos shakshukos came with more bread than it did food. I will say all the servers are extremely kind and warm and the interior/atmosphere is very cool and welcoming.

We had such a great night at Havana. Second time in 2 months and have been going here for years. The food is always excellent. Our server Rae tonight was exceptional!!

Havana has been an institution in our neighbourhood since it opened many, many years ago. Weve come here so many times, I cant count. Their take on Cuban classics is a fresh twist, and doesnt clone other restaurants in the city. This time our server Ray was delightfully attentive and conversational. The food, as always, hit the mark for flavour. And sitting outside under the heat lamps, with the atmospheric lighting and hanging plants, music, and plastic curtains keeping out the nasty rain, made us forget we live in Vancouver. Havana is a gem of a restaurant on The Drive!

Got the 1212 brunch burger, so awesome!

The only thing better than the food was Ray s service. 10/10 would recommend

Really nice spot on commercial. Large patio and big windows makes the space feel very open. Their food is good although I felt a bit small on the portion size. Really cool vibe to the place and there clearly has been a lot of effort and intention to the design. Parking: Not a lot on commercial drive in general

This has been one of my fave places forever and its always getting better! Big shout out to Shimona, my server from the other day. She was super knowledgeable and took great care of us. I loved the fish tacos, tostones and chimi aioli. My only feedback is I miss the Santiago - awesome cocktail.

i love havana! came in recently for happy hour margaritas and chips & guac. shimona was our server and she was great. highly recommend!

Great happy hour at Havana! The margaritas were on point, and our server, Shimona, was awesome super friendly and knew exactly what to recommend. Perfect spot for good drinks and good vibes!

Great option for a fun atmosphere and tasty drinks and appetizers; perfect for a date night or with a group of friends :) Shimona is a fantastic server with great suggestions!

Havanas is definitely my favorite spot on the drive for drinks, ambiance and service. The patio is by far one of the best and the vibe is great inside and out all year round. I could eat their tostones everyday they are so good. Service has never let me down which is always a selling feature for me to be a returning customer. I have many allergies and food sensitivities and I ve always been handled with care. The last time I was there Shimona went above and beyond to make sure that my dish met my needs but offered some substitutions that made sure nothing shied away on flavor. 5/5 would definitely recommend and will be back soon!

Really enjoyed our experience here! Came with a couple friends recently and was pleasantly surprised to find there is a great selection of mocktails, I especially enjoyed the rosemary and fig sour. Our server, Shimona was wonderful, friendly, and had great recommendations. Made our night even better! Will definitely be back.

I went there over the weekend and enjoyed a nice vibe. Good menu options, love the green sauce! My friends loved the Oaxacan drink and I enjoyed the Third Beach bowl! Our server was Shimona and she did a great job being attentive and knowledgeable!

Best food, best atmosphere and best service! Shimona was so cheerful and lovely to talk to. 12/10 would go back.

I love it here!! Highly recommend the HH margs!Our server Shimona was really lovely!!

Havent had a Cuban sandwich in years and it was delicious

Great Food, Pleasant Staff!

Fun atmosphere great food!

There was a large group of us that came in last night at 5pm and our server was fantastic! The food was awesome as usual as well!

Ordered food from here, The burger was raw and bloody inside. I got food poisoning and was vomiting and Severe stomach pains for 24 hours. I couldn t even keep water down. The sandwich Cubano we ordered was completely black and burnt; It was so hard my daughter couldn t eat it and went to bed without dinner. It is unacceptable service for a restaurant that takes extremely long to cook an uncooked burger, Overcharges with super expensive prices that are not worth the illness you will receive. I will never order order from this disgusting establishment, ever again!!

Sorry, but I went in expecting to eat Cuban food, and left still expecting it. Unfortunately, there were no authentic Cuban dishes.

Went to have drinks with girlfriends. The food was sub par, nothing mind blowing from what I have experienced. The Tropical Sangria was good. The food seemed a little on the pricey side if compared with quantity - such as Chips and Dip. Overall a nice evening out. The vibe of the place was nice.

Not good

Even the place is pretty beautiful and the staff are amazing, the food was not impressive at all. We ordered the cubano sandwich and it wasn t great at all, it s not the original recipe and the taste was really flat.

Food was mid and expensive

I had the Little Havana Brunch Bowl today. It was unbelievably delicious. I will be back. The staff were awesome as well. 10/10 would recommend. Food

so good!! thanks liam and katie for taking care of us!

Was served by Katie and Liam and they were great!!

Fantastic place to hang out. Lovely and fresh drinks!! Passionfruit mojito is a blast!

Really funky decor, good mix of food options on the menu, great presentation. The chicken club was great, fish tacos were worth it. I wouldnt order again~reg beef burger. Moijitos were great flavor as well. Our server was very busy but still pleasant and helpful

Hours are not correct on Google and Yelp. It says they re open until 11 pm. We came at 9:40 and they told us they re already closed

Had such an amazing time here with my girl friends!! Andre was the best server ever!! The plantain chips were sooo good, I think about them everyday hahah

Amazing food, drinks, servers and atmosphere. One of the best spots on Commercial without question.

This place is awesome!! Happy hour menu is great! Fantastic margaritas!! And the Cubano sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I ve had in my life!!!! Great staff! Awesome service!!

Good food, but not really cuban food.

We went here for dinner and everything we ordered was DELICIOUS! The Ceviche was so good, especially with the plantains as the crackers. The Cheesy Poblano + Corn Dip was so yummy and cheesy with the sweet corn being a nice burst of flavour and texture. The Mussels España and the Paella were so good together. The Mussels had a yummy tomato based sauce with a hint of spiciness. For dessert, we had the Chocolate Espresso Tres Leches and the Churro Bombs. The Chocolate Espresso was moist and flavourful but the Churro Bombs were fried doughy goodness, especially with the banana crème anglaise! The cocktails were also great, I had the Jewal Fuel which was sweet and had calamansi. The only downside is that the location is very loud and you have to yell to hear each other. Our server was super helpful and friendly.

Sensational happy hour! Plantains , burger , ceviche . Service

Super over priced for a less than a medium restaurant

Ths place was awesome! As a cook, its hard to eat somewhere that is actually delicious. This place really showed up with flavour! Food : 5/5

Male waitstaff followed me into the mens bathroom to watch me pee.

I loved this place, the atmosphere and the food are great.

Our reservation was Saturday 12:00 noon. Our table was ready as we arrived and we were seated immediately. The server, Hailey, was wonderful and funny. She gave recommendations on the menu, which were very helpful and we agreed with. The food was prompt, hot, tasty and very enjoyable. At the end of the lunch the manager, Rich, came to our table to check on us and thank us. Overall a wonderful experience and meal. Thanks Havana! Dietary restrictions: Meals ranged from no spice to spicey. A nice choice to have.

Excellent Sangria, Delicious Food and Attentive Staff. Thank you!

Great spot for happy hour especially when the weather is nice. They have plenty of outside seating on the patio and on the street. Ordered the HH mojito and the Cubano sandwich. Both were Cool spot on The Drive. Ill certainly be back again when the sun is out

Always a fun afternoon

We went back here for the first time in a long time. Was hoping the restaurant had maintained its legendary status from years past, and Im not sure if we just got a lame server or not, but IMO the place has gone way down hill. We were looking for appies, a few drinks and dinner and we were ignored/rushed out in short order. We were prepared to spend some time and money on a few margaritas each as we were enjoying our day on the drive.. but we couldnt get the service so walked after a drink and a quick dinner. Server left/overlooked another $50-60 sales and a healthy tip. Uncertain if well return as many other solid options available on the drive these days. Maybe for brunch

Great food on the drive

Food, drinks and staff are great, but way too loud even to order we had to almost scream at the server.

This place is incredibly slow, expensive and burn their food. 20$ for a Cubano the size of my hand. They sent away 4 delivery drivers causing our food to take almost two hours. Just for them to send a burnt sandwich and overrated fried that are barely cooked. No utensils or napkins in the bag. Thanks Havana and thats only talking about MY order.

Went out for a few drinks with my friends. Was blessed to have Alex as our server. Awesome conversations, had the best recommendations and overall made our experience great. Will be coming back again soon!

Disappointing experience... my husband and I had been looking forward to celebrating our anniversary dinner and had provided those details on open table at the time of our reservation. On arrival, we were escorted to a small table next to another couple (they at a 4 top). We asked if we could be moved one table over (to another 4 top) and were told that it had been reserved for another party. Shortly after, another couple arrived and were seated at that table. No others joined them and they had some beverages and left around the same time as us. Didnt quite make sense. There was no mention of our anniversary, so not sure why they asked if we were celebrating something special. We ordered a pitcher of margaritas and assorted dishes to share. The margs were average, fish tacos and pork tacos were tasty but the enchiladas were less than thrilling. They seemed to have been seasoned with cinnamon which wasnt an expected flavour profile. Not sure Id give them another chance.

We had our engagement party here and let me tell you it was the best time! Mia, our server absolutely knocked it out of the park serving our entire party, never missing a beat! She kept everything running so smoothly making our party fun and seamless. Food was amazing and drinks were top notch. Our friends had such a great time and everyone noticed the quality service we had all thanks to Mia! You re a rockstar!!!

Always great food with great ambience

Me and my partner have been a regular at Havana for a long time, and have always enjoyed the drinks and service, but our most recent experience there was beyond disappointing. Germain E has got to be the rudest server we ve ever had in Vancouver. We were barely greeted when we sat down, and the entire night he barely spoke a word to us, although he was laughing and chatting with all the other tables. We waited 20min for our two simple cocktails, pretty sure he forgot to put our orders in. When the drinks finally got made forever later, he slammed them on our table again without saying a word. The last straw was when we asked for the bill, he slammed our bill and the machine on the table and just stood there, not even any polite small talk like literally every other server would do. We are beyond frustrated since he seem to be chatty and polite with everyone else, so we are really not sure why he treated us differently even though we ve been nothing but polite to him. Can t help but suspect maybe he has something against Asian people? Havana, please train your staff better!

Such great food!! The atmosphere and the interior of the restaurant is beautiful!

Great food at good prices but their beer selection is abysmal. There was no amber ale, terrible no-alcohol beer and generally a limited selection of any other beers.

My girlfriend and I just had lunch there today. Everything was wonderful! Service was excellent. She had the Calle Ocho with prawns and I had the Chorizo Hash. We shared the churros for dessert. The presentation of our meals was beautiful and everything was delicious! Atmosphere was funky and smart. We will be back!

Used to be better. Prices have gone up. Like everywhere

Had the chorizo balls and they were INCREDIBLE! I loved the vibe of this place and would definitely go back!

Shrinkflation. The dish we ordered was TINY. I was surprised because of how small our order was, and I tipped in relation to this. The service wasn t anything special but I think the waitress was pissed I didn t tip more and walked off with my receipt with the tip, the one I use for business records. So, I perceived that as attitude over the small tip over the small portion of food served.

A super cute place with nice decor. Great vibes. Food was just ok, drinks are good

Havana is a great vibe to hit on commercial, however, we had a very disappointing experience based on our service. We were left unattended for an hour and a half on a Saturday night. My partner and I had friends visiting from out of town and we wanted to take them around commercial drive. We had a reservation at Havana for 10:30pm. We inquired about going over to the flamingo room if there was space and we were told by the restaurant manager, Liam, that he would make it happen. So much so, that he brought us over to Flamingo to peek inside and said he would have a table ready for us. After taking our order for one round of drinks at Havana, we were never spoken to again. A server checked in on us not even knowing whose section we were in. We never saw Liam again and once we inquired with the female server (who was really kind), she informed us that last call already happened and we could no longer go to the flamingo room. There was no transparency from the staff and we wasted an hour and a half with no service. We felt embarrassed to have brought our friends from out of town here and will not be attending Havana again.

Fun place, good selection of items.

Very noisy with the music too loud and the generators going across the street that polluted the air. Perhaps not the best time to go when there is an event in the park.

We had a wonderful lunch/brunch here! Both our meals were outstanding and cocktails were unique and amazing. We commented to our server that it was like a party in our mouth! To add to the whole experience was our incredible server, Justin! He was very attentive and genuinely happy that we were happy! Though a long drive for us to get there, we will definitely be back as often as possible!

Great vibe. Good quick service. Cubano sandwich is what I got. It was really small for the price and the side of fries was skimpy. Would give 5 stars if the portion fit the price better but overall a good place.

Delicious food, great service and always a lovely place to stop by if you want some yummy food and great cocktails. Their pineapple margaritas are one of my faves in the lower mainland.

Got da veggie burger. Looks like SpongeBob nasty patty and tastes like mint.

Pleasant environment on COMMERCIAL drive in the garden. Great beer and food. Great place to chill out.

I want to move in

Update July 2024: fabulous Happy Hour. House beers are great, and the Cubano (no sides for HH) is like a super-tasty grilled cheese, yum. Service can be a bit spotty. --- Great vibe and staff here. The spicy pineapple margarita was delish, paella was excellent and a perfect size to share after some appies. But the Mariquitas and tostadas were both too salty and overcooked/crunchy for our tastes.

The food was very fresh and tasty lots of GF options. The service was friendly and knew about food allergies. The atmosphere was cozy. Dietary restrictions: Gluten free Kid-friendliness: Lots of food kids like Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access through ramp on the side

Jenna our server and Liam the manager both amazing and really made sure we had an amazing time - super lovely individuals and considerate meeting all our needs and just going above and beyond. Highly recommend Havana for the food drinks and service.

Went to Havana for brunch on a Sunday. Was really good overall. What a fantastic space - full patio, lots of seating inside, and a back room I believe where they do live music shows at night. I can really see it come alive on a weekend evening. Situated across from a park its a great place to pop in for a patio drink or make plans for an evening dinner with a date or with friends. We had a Cubano sandwich and some type of breakfast skillet. Both very tasty and affordable considering. Service was good. Friendly people. Excellent atmosphere. Id like to make some time to go back in the evening to see what they put on in terms of shows, music, and performances. I will be back.

Try the ceviche for appys, Cubano sando for a main, and churro bombs for dessert! I ve been here a handful of times before and each time it never disappoints. Staff are super friendly and attentive, not to mention probably the hottest in Vancouver next to Cactus Club, and the atmosphere is always vibrant and welcoming.

My favourite restaurant!!! Fabulous food, service & vibes!!! The mojitos are yum

I was celebrating my 40th birthday with my friends and we were having a great time, but then I saw a group of 4 young girls that were clearly high and had a baby with them that looked like she/him was 4-6 months old. It ruined my birthday because that was saddest thing to see. It totally broke my heart. The management team didnt seem to care about it when I ask if that was okay and safe for the baby. Poor baby was asleep and was hiding under the table. Never going back to a business that supports child neglect. I wish I never stepped foot into that place. Never going back there.

Great patio. Interesting and well made dishes (some portions a bit on the small side). Good craft beer selection and a decent collection of cocktails.

Cubano sandwich, triple cooked fries, sangria, margaritas and tacos are 10/10. Atmosphere is amazing. Food is amazing. Must try. ESP for happy hour.

I can t say enough positive things about this restaurant, what really made the experience was our server Jenna. She was so personable and friendly providing us exeptional recommendations! Wonderful human and so glad we got the opportunity to be served by someone so lovely!! Thank you Jenna

Came in for a little drink and appetizer, our server Jenna was absolutely amazing! She was super sweet and such a light! Would definitely l recommend! The atmosphere is such a fun time :) thanks so much Jenna!

Pretty disappointed. $20 for two fish tacos with tiny slivers of fish and mostly cabbage and a small thing of chips. And 9$ for a flat warm beer. The Cubano was also really small and came with some very average limp fries. Feel a little ripped off after that

Went here on the recommendation of our AirB&B host for Sunday brunch. Then back for weekday brunch. Fab spot do go . Food

Food wasn t bad but wasn t great, I wouldn t recommend it. We had their tacos, burgers, croquettes and tortilla chips. I ve had better tacos at tacofino and cactus.

The food was good and the atmosphere was great. The portions were small. Its not a place to have dinner but a great place to hang out with friends and have a drink.

Nothing beats Havana for lunch! I ve been coming here regularly for a couple years and it just keeps getting better. I haven t found many restaurants in Vancouver that have it dialled quite like Havana, it s consistently fantastic. It s always a great experience and out of the probably hundred times I ve been here now I only had an issue once and the server took care of it right away. The team that works here is amazing, super friendly, fast, and the food is fantastic. We ve taken our team here a couple times and they re great at handling big groups as well. Whenever I have friends visiting from out of town I bring them here because it s such a good vibe. Keep up whatever you re doing and thanks for the hospitality and quality . My favourite dishes are the Commercial Club (spicy, with a salad) and the Calle Ocho Salad (add prawns).

I went to Havana last nite on a first date. As soon as I sat down my date was clearly unwell and very negative. He got up and left without saying a word after 7 mins. I let the server know and she was very compassionate. I finished my drink and she said, Havana will take care of that. Solid move Havana, 5 stars !

alex was absolutely awesome! amazing service and great atmosphere. definitely recommended.

Great food, good service and reasonably priced.

Delicious food, friendly service, and great atmosphere. Definitely love the churro ball dessert

Sitting on their bar style patio, enjoying a Cubano Sando and 1212 Burger. Just watching the world turn on a sunny afternoon. Life just can t get any better. Oh yes it can. The service was amazing and our server was very attentive. Looking forward to doing it all over again.

It was pretty good. If I go back, it will be for the tacos, not the burger.

Can t describe how much I loved the Paella. I want to ask for asylum here and eat Paella for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Very friendly staff, amazing design, I am not leaving

New favourite place to eat Perfect decor, so many food options including gluten free, vegan, lactose free, and vegetarian <3 lovely staff, food is very yummy, prices are very fair. So happy i found this place and celebrated my birthday here:)

Great food and drinks and kind and good service

Dietary restrictions: They have gluten free and vegetarian options Food

Havanas has been one of my date night go to for years. They have a simple menu with vegetarian and GF options, great appys and an inspired cocktail menu. Definitely check out happy hour and weekend brunch if you get the chance. Their pitchers of sangria are delicious and perfect for sharing, as are the tostones. The service is fast and easy, the space is clean and the atmosphere is lively. Vegetarian options: Try the mushroom tacos, avocado tostones or the veggie burger Dietary restrictions: Tacos have GF options and there are gf appys Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible, no stairs, low tables.

great food drinks and service. great veggie and non alcoholic cocktails. patio is great for covid cautious/immune compromised people like myself

Oh my gosh!! What a wonderful time today at Havana. Out on the front porch with excellent service and delicious food. The staff are so friendly. We will giggling and laughing today. I had the 1212 beef burger. A little crisp on the outside of the paddy, just the way I like and the bun was up for the challenge. Amazing. You have got to try the aioli s too. Go. You won t regret it. Vegetarian options: My bestie needed the gluten free option and the burger bun for her was exceptional.

The cocktails lack alcohol but its good hahaha

I love the atmosphere and the decor of the restaurant! We lucked out on a nice sunny day and got an outdoor booth in the morning. I even love the patterns of the tiles in their washer walls!

Great weekend Brunch spot!

Really nice place, with good vibes and good food. Their paella was amazing and service was excellent. Definitely we will back.

The drink was good. My friend has an Iced Coconut Mojito Latte and it s really refreshing & it tastes yummy! They told us that we had 2 hours dining limit at the beginning. The server was nice that she didn t kick us out until it got really busy. I would love to come back again for their happy hour.

Atmosphere was super chill with good music. Servers were very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious and fresh. Highly recommend if you need to catch up with friends. The tostones were fresh and filling, the commercial club is filling, the mai tai and the iced coconut mojito latte that is pictured is highly recommended!

The portions are too small for the money. The menu has very limited options. Drinks were not good.

I frequently pop into Havana for a drink or a bite. Great experience all around. The service, especially, is top notch. Extra props to Bryan, who is consistently attentive, friendly and goes above and beyond. Deserves a raise! Food

Our first time visiting this place and definitely not the last , a very busy Saturday and the staff where excellent! From the hostess at the front to the bar Everyone was on the ball. The food looked so good will definitely get food next time . The guys in the bar do a great job but especially Dylan ! He made his job look so effortless during a busy time he had time for customers as well as his fellow staff members all while making amazing cocktails ! , love this place .

Great good and drinks selection.. Love the sangria. Great place to have lunch and sit on the patio in the summer. Havent seen a show here hut heard its a great venue

Havana Vancouver is a vibrant and bustling restaurant that captures the essence of Cuban culture. The lively and colorful ambiance, paired with the tantalizing aroma of authetic Cuban cuisine, creates an engaging and delightful dining experience. From flavorful mojitos to mouthwatering classics like Cuban sandwiches and plantain chips, Havana Vancouver delivers an impressive array of traditional dishes. With its infectious energy, warm hospitality, and dedication to genuine Cuban flavors, this restaurant stands out as a captivating destination for those seeking a lively taste of Cuba in the heart of Vancouver.

I love this place! The staff is so friendly and helpful with reservations. They really make sure you have a great time. Their hospitality sets them apart from other places in Vancouver!

I honestly come here more for the atmosphere than the food which is good enough. Great patio for people watching, comfortable chill place, good drinks too.

Good place for a bite on the Drive

We go to Havana with mi girlfriend, the best attention ever, Morgan the server make the best evening. In Havana serve the best piscola in Vancouver. Food

Hailey was an amazing server, allowing me to customize the tacos and super nice and patient!

What a great experience! The paella was absolutely outstanding. Service was terrific, too.The sangria was good, but hardly great. And the table couldve been cleaner. All in all, a really positive experience.

We popped in for a quick bite and were blown away by the hospitality of our server Alex. He was very attentive to our experience and was so charming and outgoing. He was also honest in giving us FIRE recommendations for drinks.

The burger on happy hour was so good. Our server Alex was great

Its one of the best patios on Commercial Drive that offers good food and drink options in a lively and vibrant neighborhood.

Great happy hour deals! Our Server, Germaine( I think thats how his name is spelled),was one of the most attentive servers I experienced lately. Usually, when I visit most restaurants nowadays, the servers think the tips are just given no matter how they behave. I would love to visit again just to experience the level of service. Thank you again.

Delicious brunch on Commercial Drive with a cool space and great service. Thank you!

Service was great, staff are all super friendly and kind, and the atmosphere and music were amazing The food I found was overpriced for the portion you got, and noticed it with the other meals my friends ordered as well. The coconut curry (which I had) didnt stick out in any way, I found it bland. Other dishes I tried from peoples plates were okay, but nothing that wowed me One small note is that when the bills were being paid, the waiter input it and handed it to us with a tip already added (I am not sure what percentage, but it took a originally $18 dollar dish to 22.68) . This was disclosed which was appreciated, however there wasnt a way to select a different tip level without explicitly asking the waiter which I felt would have been rude :( Nothing wrong with asking for a tip, but with money so tight all around Vancouver right now I find tipping culture is out of hand and it rubbed me the wrong way.

Just had the best patio experience here!!!! The drinks and food were super speedy and our Server Mia A was top notch!!!!! What a great way to spend a sunny Mothers day in vancouver!!!! We will be back again for sure!!!!!

Great Sunday afternoon evening spot to enjoy some people watching and super tasty sparkling sangria. Thanks Mia, you are amazing and made our night. And now I know all about isopods, lol!!! Will be back for sure!

Great vibe and cool patio, perfect for summer!

Yummy cocktails, good food, friendly service, and fun atmosphere Awesome spot!

Lovely atmosphere, great service from Anika who even offered me a blanket when I seemed cold out on the patio. Margs are solid. Great time over all.

This was my friends and my first time tryiing cuban dishes so we asked for some recommendations. I didnt expect much for Chorizo hash poached soft but I ended up enjoying it very much. We also liked Croque senora brunch pots. Personally, I thought bun was a bit thick, which dominated the big part of the flavor. The cream sauce that came with sandwich was as good as the server mentioned, and I wish I could have a bit more. The atmosphere was cool, but even on a sunny day, it was bit dark inside. I imagine the place would have a nice vibe in evening.

Went to Havana over the weekend with friends. We ordered the Chicharron, cheesy poblano and corn dip, tostones and the clam curry. The food was good. Wish the quantity for the snack and share dishes was a little more. It was a little expensive. The staff was very kind. Vegetarian options: There were some options. Dietary restrictions: You could request for vegan, gluten free, dairy free or nut free options for dishes. Parking: You have to find street parking.

Good happy hour

Amazing food, ambience and hospitality experienced at this amazing place. The vintage decor took us to other than canada space while embedding some never forgettable memories.

The food and atmosphere are great! However, the drinks are very mediocre. They were not very flavourful sadly - we had margaritas and mojitos and they were very bland and very tart. The late night happy hour prices are good however, and somewhat make up for the mid drinks. Come for the food, Commercial drive history, and ambiance, but dont expect 10/10 drinks.
