Son Havana — Laureles
Son Havana is the long-running Laureles salsa institution that pulls a serious dancing crowd — most of the floor is people who actually know their cross-body leads, not tourists trying it on.
The room has a wood floor that's been worn smooth by 25+ years of dancing. House band Thursday-Saturday plays son cubano and salsa dura sets with the dance floor open between sets to recorded classics.
Walk-in. Cover charge COP 30k weekends. Friday is the most local night.
What to Order
House Band Set
Thu-Sat live son cubano and salsa dura. Three sets, 9pm-2am.
Old Fashioned
Kept short — bourbon, demerara, bitters, big cube. For sit-out songs.
Floor-side Table
Reserve via WhatsApp. Watching the lead-and-follow is half the night.
Friday Local Night
Most Paisa-heavy night. The proper experience.
