The Cuban Camden

Cocktail Bar Cocktail bars $$

A two-storey Havana-style bar in the heart of Camden Stables Market, with 150 rums and live bands midweek.

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 Cuban Camden is in Camden, London. Walk in; book for bands and bottomless brunch.

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.

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.
