The Cuban Bar
The Stables Market Chalk Farm Road, Camden Town, London NW1 8AH
If you want pasta, you go to Italy, but if you want a caipirinha, you go to Cuba. If you can't afford Cuba, then get down to the cobbled streets of Camden's stables, where The Cuban is about as authentic as it gets in England: drinks made with quality Cuban rum, incomparably fresh mint, and that secret special ingredient (time). Yes, you could probably fly to Cuba in the time they take to make your Mojito, but trust us. They. Are. Worth. It. Every. Time. Chow down some Hispanic-influenced freshly-made grub at one of the notorious cheeky midweek salsa nights and you'll be smoking a Cohiba and answering to the name of Che in no time.
