Sports Bar????

by plasticdonut32 at Citysearch

I went to Habana on 6th for the first time with a coworker for lunch. We had to sit down stairs where there are atleast 4 large televisions all playing sports. Come to find out from the waiter, they are changing the entire place into a sports bar and changing their menu. They are keeping a couple of dishes but they are making the menu more "American bar-fare." It's a shame.

I ordered the Cuban sandwich which was great! I absolutely loved it. The tostones though were dry, tough and cold, like they were left over from the day before.

The service was VERY slow, but the waiter was nice enough. If you can get down there before they become just another frat sports bar, you should. The Cuban sandwich is something you shouldn't miss!

Fantastic Food, great atmosphere, cool beer selection

by Segador at Citysearch

I've been to Habana probably 7-10 times and have had a great experience each time. The food is great, especially the Jibarito and anything with the pineapple salsa.

Service isn't outstanding, but it's not bad either. Sitting out back with the fans on the porch is a great way to sip some mojitos and enjoy your dinner.

They're worth it, give them a try.

• Pros: Food, service, selection, price
• Cons: good luck parking anywhere near here

Nasty Manager, Lousy Service, Don't eat here

by JoeeI at Citysearch

I ordered what was billed as a Pineapple Margarita at the 6th St locale. What I got was half a cup of pineapple juice with a weak shot of tequila and something like looked like half a glass of foam (?) on top - foam? It wasn't sweet, it was bitter. The foam settled. I asked the waiter to take it back and ordered a Mojito. Said waiter charged me for the Pineapple Disaster and didn't bother to tell me it would not be taken off my bill. Talked to the manager who was rude and implied I had drank half the P.D. because I was a cheap drunk - nice. I told him I would not ever come back and did not leave a tip. Had I known they would charge me for the P.D., I would have left before ordering the mediocre food. A while a go they burned down. I certainly hope this never happens again. That would be a tragedy.

• Cons: Rude, rude and rude.
