The Pitch

The Cuban sits in the centre of Camden Stables Market on Chalk Farm Road, a two-storey Cuban bar, restaurant, and live-music venue. Bartenders crush fresh mint for the mojitos that fuel the room.

It runs on rum and music. The bar pours mojitos and stocks more than 150 rums, with live bands midweek and salsa nights. Come for a mojito in the middle of the market and a late dance. Skip it if you want a quiet drink, because the volume and the crowd are the point here.

The Room

The split-level space works as a restaurant downstairs and a bar and live-music room above, decked to feel like an old Havana lounge. It is built into the heart of the Stables Market.

Time Out and All In London both frame it as a lively, music-led venue rather than a cocktail-list bar. The stage and the dance floor set the tone after dark.

The Drinks

Mojitos are the headline, made with fresh-crushed mint, alongside a rum range that runs past 150 bottles. Mojitos land around nine pounds.

Order a mojito to start, then work into the rum list with the bar's help. The kitchen runs Cuban food and the venue sells cigars, so a plate, a rum, and a band is the full Cuban routine.

What to Order

A fresh-mint mojito

The house drink, around nine pounds, mint crushed to order.

Something off the rum list

More than 150 bottles. Ask the bar to point you somewhere good.

A Cuban plate

The downstairs kitchen keeps the food going alongside the music.

A cigar

The venue sells them, fitting the Havana-lounge theme.

The Crowd and Vibe

The Cuban draws Camden Market visitors, rum and salsa regulars, and a weekend crowd in for the live bands and DJs.

It runs busiest on Wednesday band nights and at weekends, when the upstairs fills and the dancing starts. Earlier in the day it is a market lunch stop.

What Regulars Say

The mojitos and the deep rum list are the draw, with the fresh-mint pour singled out in reviews.
Live music is the other half of the story. Skiddle and Time Out both list regular bands, salsa, and DJ nights.
Its spot in the middle of the Stables Market makes it a reliable Camden stop, busy and loud at peak times.
