Kind of a hidden spot tucked away from the main road. We got there around 12am and it was kind of dead but the DJ was really good. The dance floor was decently spaced and they have $6 shots that's a bartenders choice! Didn't eat the food but had a good time none the less and no cover charge! read more

I had a Graduation party there ! It was amazing . Had lots of family in town , so we are kinda picky . The Vibe and music and staff were incredible . We felt safe and taken care of !! Danced the night away . Cocktails were on point as well. Good times will definitely go back . read more

Havana - Kay is the best! - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

What Happened to Havana? Havana used to be the place to be in Seattle, but after my last visit, it's clear things have gone downhill. The atmosphere feels totally off. The tables were wobbly, and honestly, it felt like our drinks were going to spill everywhere. The place smells stale, probably from people smoking right at the entrance. The drinks are still decent, but they're way too overpriced for a club that looks like it's falling apart. The music was barely there, almost like the sound system is shot, and the lighting was way too bright -- more like a diner than a nightclub. The crowd was just... boring. No one was dancing or mingling like it used to be. I asked a bartender what's up, and they said it's under new management or ownership. Whatever changes they made, it's definitely not working. Honestly, they should bring back the old management or, if the owner sold, they should buy it back because this place has lost its charm. It used to be a must-visit spot, but after this last experience, it's hard to say if I'll ever go back. read more

The service is amazing. The club is a total vibe. It was lit was amazing. My friend got lit, but the security was super nice. Kendra was the shit read more

I've been here a handful of times. Since visiting and moving here, many of the locals and friends that I've met here have complained about this place, and I understand why. Unfortunately every time I've been here I've had bad encounters with the staff, from the girls in the front collecting covers and the bartenders inside. I understand dealing with drunk people would be exhausting but every time I've given this place the benefit of the doubt, I've always been disappointed with how the staff interacts with its guests. Many of them seem like they hate their jobs and that could be true, but I don't think it's acceptable to be rude to it's customers. My only decent encounters have been with the bouncers. This place always has a cover no matter how dead or busy it might be. The overall place, is pretty small and the music is decent depending on who the dj is but I've never stayed more than an hour. If you're looking for a place to dance, there are plenty of other places in cap hill that you'll have a better experience at. read more

There is No Disco lights. But it's Free Cover for Ladies before 10 pm. I came on Sept. 29th at 9:25 pm. I came the previous night but no one in the club. So I left and went to another bar and drag show. It's been awhile before Cvid that I've stopped by to dance. I like hanging out on the balcony that has comfortable couches. So the floor is very dark and not as fun as other Dance Clubs that have a few lights. There is colored mood lights changing colors on the 3 areas by the Window. One good thing is this place has large windows that you can look inside without coming in first. The upstairs has cute shiny Macaw Wallpaper. I like parrots. I don't drink alcohol so I can't judge the $8-$12 cocktails. To get a booth, without a VIP Charge, just come before 10 pm. It's empty. DJ Miguel was playing hits and Latin music before 10pm. He turned up the volume after 10pm. The restrooms are clean and there are a lot of mirrors to take selfies in the Ladies Room if that's your thing. I did not grow up with cellphones, so I don't take much Selfies at night clubs to say I'm here and brag. read more

Music was good. My only complaint is the drinks are for sure watered down cuz I had to get 2 extra shot to add to it. Only because of that I won't return read more

Amazing service (shout out Robert!!!) the vibes are always great and the music is bumpin. I just wish there was AC it can get a little too hot to be comfortable all night. read more

thank you kay!! keeping us safe and doing a dang good job at it!! also the bar is cool

A group of girls and I were out for bachelorette party this Saturday, May 1st, and when we got to the door the security guy told us there was cover charge of 15 bucks. We were not prepared for that so we made a joke like can you give a bachelorette discount? And he responded with "If we are talking about a massages, then yeah." His ass needs to be fired! Sexual harassment is not ok! Don't come here! read more

Very disappointing experience. Note that the entry is in the dark alley in the parking lot... very confusing placement. The drinks were fine... it's a club, I wasn't expecting quality cocktails. The music / Dj was sooo bad, just not upbeat danceable (or Latin). The only reason it gets 2 stars is because I appreciated the diverse crowd and age ranges... just a lot of missed potential read more

Solid vibe! Great food! Amazing drinks! Something about this place although there are many other places on the street. Too many amazing cocktails. The whole scene was amazing. Don't miss out on this place. read more

I had a very poor experience at Havana. The bartender who identified himself as 'Ducky' was extremely racist and rude towards me and my friends. Anytime I asked him questions about drinks, he had an attitude and also got my order wrong. He also made it a point to mention that I need to speak English although I was speaking English. The drinks were also poorly made and were watered down. I definitely won't be returning to Havana. read more

Service has been amazing! Robert's a rockstar. Great performances! Only down is the airflow is not great. Would benefit from some AC!

This club doesn't feel safe. Two fights broke out simultaneously and the patrons in general were very aggressive. The club feels like it belongs in Oakland not Cap Hill. read more

I was there yesterday pride Saturday. There was a short security guard at front that was checking ids and using metal detector. I couldn't understand anything he was saying he was drunk. When would ask him question his whole speech was slurred couldn't understand anything he was saying he was a very angry man. read more

Don't come here. Music is trash. Our bartender with two braids was awful. Restrooms are dirty. Too much cover fee for a bad time. Staff is rude af. read more

$10 cover at 12:45am? Really? Wow. Most of the time when I'm here (which isn't often) I'm thinking the phrase "hate hate hate hate hate hate" over and over in my head. It's pretty crowded, but honestly a few years ago it was way worse. I think the nice door guy (bigger bearded man) does a good job. He also doesn't let people back in who leave and want to skip the line. That's right, smoker! And guy who went to eat a cream cheese hot dog! Back of the line. Last night we found a spot in the corner by a booth and had an okay time dancing. Exceptions: -Total meat market. Normally I don't mind getting approached (hey, it's flattering) but every single person was a foreigner or from out of town. I don't think anybody is here actually from Seattle. Just a heads up... -Also saw something I never saw before - circles of guys dancing together. This also makes me assume they're not from Seattle because it was jarring. Except for, of course, breakdancing. But nope, just a lot of hip thrusting. -What's up with DJ's only playing 45 seconds of a song? Right when you get into it they change it up. You don't play Billie Jean and Thriller and cut them off barely past the intro. To me, this is also a tell-tale sign they're not a good DJ; choosing the most popular Michael songs ever? Come on, noob. They probably followed it with a little LMFAO. The entrance is in the parking lot of Poquito's, but next time I'll try something else when I want to go dancing in Cap Hill. read more

Hooray for the 90s! Hooray for total request nights with DJ Jay Battle (last Wed of every month)! Hooray for Havana! On Mondays it is empty, but they have their specialty cocktails for what bars out here charge for a well. 5-6 bucks, I've forgotten now. Try them all! Tuesdays are 90s night-- it is packed and you might get creeped on if you aren't able to tell people to back off. In my experience, though, it is a lot roomier and less packed than some other yucky clubs I could mention. I always have a great time here, despite a $4 cover. Wednesdays are the best, though, because you can tweet your requests to the DJ. There is a large projector screen that shows the requests/tweets in real time, which is an added perk. Bar service can be slow when it is slammed, but you'll get a drink. Great place for dancing. read more

Fun dance club, best choice in Capitol Hill. The vibe is always upbeat and people are having a good time. I've been to all the dance clubs in Capitol Hill and Havana wins first prize for positive vibe. read more

Worst bar tending I have ever experienced. I waited st the bar that was staffed by three bartenders for over 20 minutes before myself or other strangers around me were asked for drinks. The service was ridiculously slow. I have never experienced such slow service at any bar in any city. I don't know if any of the bar tenders were new but I gave them Three tries with three different drinks (I have been writing this at the bar waiting as we speak.) still no one has looked over and have been taking far too long making other drinks or working on credit cards. I am very disappointed. Its unfortunate because the music and ambiance were great. read more

CHECK YOUR BANK STATEMENTS AFTER VISITING THIS PLACE! I was there Saturday night. They charged a $12 entrance fee (a little excessive in my opinion. Not worth it for the straight out of high school vibe.) It was my friends first time in Seattle so I paid for both of us. I saw 3 charges for $24 on my card. I waited a few days to see if it would be reversed, nope. Still there. $72 for an entrance fee. Ridiculous.No receipts were offered. Spend your money elsewhere! read more

Really wouldn't recommend. Got in at 10pm on a Friday night and the place was dead. Good music but no one was dancing. We ordered a couple cocktails - several were undrinkable and didn't taste like the menu described at all (a honey and lavender cocktail was unbearably sour). The bartenders were pretty friendly, until they told us that we were taking up too much room at the bar and had to move over. It was just me and one friend, and the place was EMPTY. Seriously, capacity is 250 and there were probably 20 people there. That really put a bad taste in our mouths and we decided to leave. Had heard good things but don't want to return :( read more

Just a heads up. Cover was $10 for entry per person. There's also a 22% service charge on all purchases made at the bar. I wasn't told about this beforehand, no signs on the wall, no individual to tell me of a 22% charge. It's just an added charge to your receipt. My drinks including this service charge and tax rounded out to $22 per drink. I wasn't drinking top-shelf liquor or something that required years of instruction, just three regular drinks coming out to $67. Nothing against the staff or the security, everyone was nice. But paying $22 for a drink is a bit outrageous. Nightclubs on the Las Vegas strip don't even charge that amount. read more

LOL where to start. Im from southern california so I know how to enjoy a good night out. Let me save you the trouble and just tell you that you won't have a good time here. The DJ doesn't even KNOW HOW TO MIX.... and this was a Friday night!!! We were a group of 4 (2 girls and 2 guys). After 10pm they charge covers for girls and we got there right at 9:59PM but the woman at the door decided that we didn't make the cut. THEN, inside there was the angriest jerk for a server bussing the tables. She yelled at me for a good 2 mins and then my friends because she thought we left our empty drinks and jackets on the reserved table but we were only dancing next to it. It was SO ugly. she kept yelling at people throughout the whole night on the floor. By 11PM, it's so packed you can't even move anymore. Don't even bother coming here tbh. read more

I stopped in with some friends on a Saturday evening and we had a good time! Music was pretty solid, mixing up some current music and reggaeton, which is pretty rare for Seattle. Venue is actually really tiny, so I was surprised this was considered a club. Drinks were pretty cheap and their "Green Tea" shot is really delish. Expect to pay a cover, but at least they accept credit cards :) read more

I stopped in on a Thursday night because I was told that this place gets crowded soon. So, here goes... Our waitress Nettie was awesome! Ladies were free until 10pm but the place didn't really get popping until almost midnight and everyone was told to exit at 1:45am DJ was cool. He played a good selection of hip hop and R&B Drink prices were reasonable. Not strong but I felt it the next morning. read more

Caveat for this review: we went on a Weds night. Far from prime time. My fiancé wanted to go dancing on our trip to Seattle found this place and hoped we hit the jackpot. At 10:45p there was no one there. Now in NY or Miami, not a problem, but the bars here close at 2! So we get a drink...it was actually delicious. But immediately we start to listen to the music and it's THE WORST DJ I've ever heard in a public setting (no skills, blending, mixing, song choice). The decor was ok but not enough to save this place. Would totally give t another try on a weekend but just don't have that luxury. read more

Havana - a view of the bar from the second floor - Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Generally busy and energetic night club with a cover and line out front. If you want to dance and grind, this is the spot for you. If you're not looking for an all out dance party ala college, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

The entrance to this club is in a dark alley. So be prepared to turn when you see the parking lot, and it will be towards the left side. I was expecting latin music to be honest, so be warned if that's what you're in the mood for. Their dj was not super great when I went. The room was very, very crowded and super low energy. The music was pretty meh and honestly not very danceable. Drinks were not great, and by that I mean club-level not great, not cocktail lounge not great. Cover is $10 after 10pm. read more

Me and my friends had a great time here! I'm not sure if it was just last Friday but the music was on point. The DJ was playing great 90's R&B and Hip Hop music. It brought everyone back to the good times. Everyone was literally dancing; no one standing around. It was perfect. This dance floor is big and the bartender was working quick. The vibe here is a great one so I definitely recommend coming here with friends. I believe there is a cover fee of about $10? I forgot. Security is lenient too so that's always nice. read more

My fiancé and I had a great time at Havana. It was recommended to us by a friend that lives in downtown Seattle and it did not disappoint! We got there early enough in the evening that it was easy to find a table. Then the club got lit. great music and great people. We will definitely be back read more

I went with a girlfriend for a girls night on a Saturday night, looking for somewhere to go dancing. It was what you'd expect on a Saturday: busy and a line I get in. The line moved, not quick but it wasn't an excruciatingly long wait. Manageable, I couldn't tell you time cause my friend and I were talking. The Unicorn down the road also head a line and that moved quicker, just no dancing. Cover for 2 people was $22, so $11 a piece. The bathroom has exactly two stalls, for a club this size, it's a little ridiculous. There might be another secret bathroom but I didn't find it. Maybe check upstairs? The dance floor was crowded and the music selection was hit or miss. Drinks are priced right for the area but nothing to write home about. If you like your personal space and not to be touched, this isn't your place. Crowded and with the music it's difficult to hear so people just push by. I had a good time but probably wouldn't make it my first stop of the night. read more

Drinks are delicious and DJ plays good hip hop , RnB and top 40s. A very cool spot to hang out and dance.

With a name like "Havana" I expected a bit more than the typical bump-n-grind hip hop music. But my quest for a place with good Latin/reggaeton dance music continues. Havana is crowded. This could make for a fun, party-like atmosphere, but it's mostly a pain. Long lines to get in. Hard to get a drink with the cluster of people at the bar. It's a mess on a busy night. Therefore, unless you're able to get a table, it could be a rough place to go with a group. You'll find yourselves losing each other in the crowd. read more

In Seattle on a TUESDAY and Looking for a Fun time? COME HERE. SITREP A seriously happening, artsy, kitschy, but incredibly small venue, that showcases a variety of music formats from night to night. THE SETUP Nothing against the other nights that Havana hosts during the rest of the week, but for me Tuesday is the night that I mainly enjoy being here since it is more focused on 90s jams. The music & DJ-dance formats hosted here on their Wednesday-Saturday schedule (mostly Soul and Light Hip-Hop), are not as appealing to me, or at least, not in such a small venue. SOCIAL MIXING However, if you are here more for talking & socializing, and less for the dancing, this could indeed be your cup of tea. With so many little nooks and spaces to engage in intimate conversation with that special someone (for right now), Havana provides a truly eclectic environment with a lot of special touches that includes elegant furnishings & vintage lights. THE DRINKS A bit pricey and over-PR'd, the drinks ARE decent. But I get soooo tired of the term "Hand-Crafted" when places use that misplaced metaphor to self-describe their own drinks - it's pretentious AND obnoxious - hence why I couldn't go 5-STARS in this review. And actually, it's a serious disservice since I can't shake the mental image of my drink containing wood-varnish for "hand-crafting". ;^D But having justifiably "knocked" this place's marketing-team, I must give full-on props to the bartenders, especially for the two tasty beverages the Floridita and the Yokohama. These joyfully kick my ass and I love them. THE LOWDOWN Havana is your stop for an engaging intimate time with great drinks. read more

I'll admit, the one thing that can be a turn off here is how crowded this place can get. Besides that, I always have a good time at Havana. I usually come here on a Friday and I dig the music the DJ spins. My friends and I dance non stop. I'll have to let you in on a little secret: Pre-funk at The Saint. Why you ask? If you drink and/or dine there, ask them to stamp your wrist for free cover at Havana. Plus, The Saint serves some pretty tasty tequila based drinks. read more

It was a Saturday night and my friends and I were looking for a place that played 'ratchet' music. We walked passed Havana and saw a line but didn't think anything of it. After researching on Yelp, Havana was the place to be for some good hip-hop music. We waited in line for about 30+ minutes, and we figured this place must be great since there's a line. We get to the front and pay a $10 cover charge. By this time, we were already sober and just wanted to dance. We get inside and it looked packed. It was a pain just getting into the dance floor. The dance floor was a decent size, however it was just way too crowded. In addition, my friends and I were right in front of the DJ so there's also a walkway right around there where people kept bumping into us as they walked through. The DJ was a lot of fun--he played a lot of old school hip-hop and R&B which I LOVE. It's a very nostalgic feeling. I'm not sure if we got there too late but I guess the DJ starts from mainstream top 40 to old school. I wish we got there earlier because we all really wanted to get ratchet... but we were still having fun dancing to old school hip-hop. Overall, this was a fun club but it got really annoying when people bump into you. So don't stand by where the DJ is, try to find a spot on the dance floor elsewhere. It especially sucks when you're on the shorter end of the spectrum. I'd give this place another chance though because the music was great. read more
