    Absolutely appalling behaviour - RACISM and ASSAULT by a member of staff…read more I had a shocking experience at The Cuban in Canterbury that I feel needs to be shared. My friend and I were standing near the windowsill inside with our handbags next to us when a tall African bouncer approached us aggressively. He began waving his finger in our faces and acted confrontational without any clear explanation--apparently just because our bags were resting on the windowsill. What made this worse was that he targeted my friend, who is Black Caribbean, with clear and disturbing racial bias. It was painfully obvious that this man--despite being Black himself--was prejudiced and aggressive toward us, especially her. I spoke to the head bouncer who confirmed there was no issue as long as we were standing next to our bags. We returned to where we were, but the same bouncer came back, told us to get out with no explanation, and when I asked why, he refused to answer. I began recording for my own protection, and he snatched my phone, was physically aggressive, and later threw my drink all over me and broke my phone strap. This was a clear assault, and I have reported the incident to the police. Another bouncer just said, "we don't need to give you a reason--he's worked here for seven years," which is absolutely unacceptable. This was not just poor treatment--it was racially motivated, physically aggressive, and deeply unprofessional. The Cuban seriously needs to review who they employ and how they deal with incidents like this. I will never return and strongly advise others--especially people of colour--to be cautious before going there.

    The food here is great, as are the cocktails, though be prepared to wait a fair while for drinks at…read morethe bar on weekends. The live music is always good and the dance floor is usually buzy but not overly so you can salsa the night away. The only downside is that the price of cocktails are expensive for a university town.
