Quirky and fun

The decor reminds you of a gay high school cafeteria but has a definite charm. The martini's are well made, but you definitely pay for them.

Creepy Decor

When this bar first opened I thought it was cool, but now it's just creepy. Drinks are overpriced.

I like this quaint, hip bar...

Try the highly recommended apple martinis. Thursdays are great for Gritty Kitty, a mash-up of alternative and indie tracks spun by DJ Moxie.

2nite...We Dance...In Havana!

"Haven't you ever been to a gay bar before?" the drag queen asked. Samantha Rollins has no use for subtlety. "Well, this isn't a gay bar...it's just a bar that lots of gay people go to." And that's the truth. Havana is a sister bar to Union Station and Axis. It's crowded more often than not. The drinks are smaller than the ones at Union, bigger than the ones at Axis, but still expensive. Sunday's church for strippers and drag. But take a friend, otherwise it's lonely. And go early, or you stand.

One of the best lounge bars in Columbus

Havana is without a doubt my favorite gay bar in Columbus. The crowd isn't as young as Axis and yet isn't as old as Tradewinds. This bar is mostly a lounge-type place but plays great music and serves some of the best martinis in town.
