Cuba Bar And Restaurant — Restaurant in Yangon

One of the less well known and well travelled bars, Cuba Bar is located on Maha Bandula road and is a walkable distance from other nightlife hotspots like 50th Street.

The menu is quite expensive and it appears that the prices are always increasing - beers are quite reasonable and shots are priced between MMK 2,000 to 3,500. We ordered 'Lemon Drops' and 'Kamikaze' shots but were told they did not have shots available and tried to get us to order more expensive versions of the drink. We persisted and magically they had the shots available. This redirecting is a headache and severely detracts from the enjoyment of a night out. Patrons should be on guard against this.

When we got the bill we were served a higher one and they had to readjust it when we spotted the errors. Accidents do happen but this is a recurring trend I notice increasingly in Yangon bars and patrons should be equally on guard against this.

However, they did give us a round of shots on the house before we left which was a nice touch.

New location is weirdly similar to 7th Joint (and is not even 100m away). Noisy with the band, slow service at the upstairs balcony, Bob Marley painted on the wall; very familiar. Didn't try the food but the menu is a mix of Chinese, Thai, and Indian (idk what...

Very nice place! Super friendly, happy, and attentive staff. They bring and reloaded multiple times free peanuts and glasses of water, plus an after dinner liqueur!! Affordable good food, good beers and drinks. You just better like dance music as they play it...
