North Beach, San Francisco · bar
A 1920s bank building at Columbus and Broadway that runs a new themed concept every nine months. Currently a Havana cocktail bar, with drinks spanning a rum-and-butterscotch canchánchara, frozen daiquiris, and a mojito Caballito that adds vermouth to the traditional formula. DJs fill the room most nights; the Cuba libre pours by the bottle.
Traditional mojito upgraded with vermouth—the tweaked house standard
Rum-and-butterscotch Cuban classic—an obscure and compelling call
Passion-fruit boulevardier—the house signature of the Havana rotation
