Went back to my olf Fulham waterhole after 2 years away and my world was i surprised. I heard it changed allot from 2006 (not always good) but it feels like old times again. Latin music is filling your ears, friendly doorstaff to great you and experienced barstaff to take your order and make your drinks! Definitly going to bring some friends to have their fajitas and mojito's while we salsa the night away! Top work to the managers and great staff

I go every now and then to the salsa classes on a Thursday night. The atmosphere varies from 'average' to 'excellent' depending on the crowd that turns up. Beer is expensive, cocktails are ok, air con has 2 settings: broken, or dripping water on to the dancefloor.
I've been to the same place at the weekend, never again. Expensive, full of aggressive teenage chavs, and absolutely no latino music.
Another negative: they have toilet attendants. Thanks, but my mom taught me how to wash my own hands.

What a difference a year makes, came here again for a works party [last year's was rubbish], great music, great service. salsa was great fun especially as its free. will be coming back very soon as i have got some NYE tickets

In order to create that tropical vibe they've decided not to bother with any ventilation.
Its hot, damn hot; its hot and wet, well sweaty. Its also expensive and crowded. If the worst comes to the worst and you really need to keep drinking into the wee hours this still isn't a good choice.

I agree, you have to be drunk to go into this allegedly Salsa place and everyone is pretty steeped by the end of the night. You can throw champagne around and noone cares.

You need to be very, very, very drunk to get any satisfaction from being in here.
Obliterated in fact... Hot, sweaty and generally gross.
Judging by how I feel today, I'm never putting myself through that again.

Was voted best place to pull in London last year by the Evening Standard.
God knows where they got that idea from its a sweaty hell hole of a place!

If you're looking to hit Fulham Rd keep going when you get to this place, not even worth the head movement to see it go by as you flee past it to get the southern end of Fulham Rd to the good pubs!
Havanas is a sess pool with greasy wannabe gangsters hanging around trying to cop a feel of anything with tits even getting to the toilet is a mission the stairs leading up to them is a beehive of ugly hispanic looking guys attempting pick up lines such as 'hey baybeee, you so beautifuuuuul' ha ha ha that 'ole chestnut has never worked boys get some new material and get rid of the fake bling!
Yeah its open till 2 or 3 (not too sure as I left after an hour) but in all honesty, after all the good bars close @ 12 id rather jump in a dodgy unlicensed cab with a stinky arabian dude named mustafa who takes me two hours in the wrong direction and charges an arm and a leg to get there than go to Havanas!
It should be illegal to charge �5 to get in this place and im sure most people will agree with me that they should pay us to set foot in there!
Go across the road to Elk bar or further down to The Fest or the P and P!!!!!!!!
