"Vest-clad bartenders hand-mix cantinero-style cocktails at Julio Cabrera and Michelle Bernstein’s Cafe La Trova on Calle Ocho. The Cuban cocktail spot, which landed on both World’s 50 Best Bars and North America’s 50 Best Bars lists, features two distinct spaces: a main bar for Cuban classics like the Hotel Nacional and house daiquiris, plus a back room creating Miami Vice-era drinks. Live bands play nightly while servers pass Cuban plates through the Always-Havana-inspired dining room." - Olee Fowler
