A dark, cool haven amid the garish bustle of Second Avenue.

by Contributor

The Scene
Havana Lounge's decor is a variation on a Cuban theme mingled with retro ornamentation and cigar chic. The theme doesn't overpower the room, or the vibe--which is friendly, comfortable and smooth. The centerpiece of the bar is a gigantic walk-in humidor for those desiring a smoke.

The Draw
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays have DJs spinning plenty of old school, attracting a hipster set. The rest of the crowd includes after-work businessmen in suits enjoying cocktails and cigars. It's well-mixed and amiable, with an age range from 25 to about 40.

The biggest joke of a bar in Nashville

by krdgop

On this past saturday a I came to Havana Lounge with a group after the Toucan Party for an after party cocktail. After entering we found service to be terrible (and for that matter impossible to get a drink). The Door staff is very rude and unprofessional, as well. If you want to go out in downtown Nashville, this is definately a place to avoid.

• Pros: None
• Cons: Staff's Attitude, Service

Least Fav Place Downtown

by conlelo

I used to enjoy going to Havana for a drink after work or on the weekends, but since they have added the "dance club" I won't ever go back. If you'd like to be in someplace sweaty and nasty OR if you want to spend your evenings hanging out with a bunch of thugs, though, this is definitely a place for you.

• Pros: N/A
• Cons: Clientele, Crowded

More like "Havana Steam Room"

by graymc1

Do not try to go to this place on the weekend. It smells like a locker room because they pack so many people onto the dance floor and around the bar. During the winter, you can literally feel the body heat from the bar as you walk up the stairs to the entrance. This used to be Nashville's trendiest bar, but now its just a huge testosterone fest.

• Pros: the back bar, good bartenders
• Cons: lines, sweaty people, lame weekend music

Leader of the pack!!

by stephengonda

If you want to go to the hottest dance spot in town, without running into the "dregs" this is it! With Lance G bringing in a huge and varied crowd, Havana Lounge has shown why it is again a leader in Nashville. If you want to know what the new trend is just go to Havana, even back from it's opening days when swing dancing and big band music was the call, Havana has led the pack. So if your cool or think your cool this is the place to be seen or see!

Stairway to Havana

by p13

I've been to clubs in Cancun, New York and Flordia, and Havana Lounge beats them all. The club was a wild and viverant ride that embodied the way night life should be. Sexy, stylish and very memorable is the way I would discribe Havana Lounge.
