Set in a colonial house built in the 1880s, La Esencia is one of the few Havana establishments to host a D.J. every night of the week. Themed nights like Diversity Night on Monday and Karaoke Night on Wednesday are worth checking out, with plenty of premium rums and wines to wash it all down (ask for the Canchánchara cocktail). Give it a shot on Friday after work for happy-hour drinks. Calle B #153 e/ Calzada y Linea, Vedado +53 78363031
