El Gato Tuerto

El Gato Tuerto is a bar and restaurant at Calle O #14, between Calle 17 and Calle 19, in Vedado, Havana, Cuba. The venue brings together classic Cuban meals, a drinks-led bar offering and regular live jazz music in a setting with both indoor dining and patio seating.

Its food focus is traditional Cuban cooking rather than a narrowly defined specialist menu. Classic Cuban meals give the restaurant side of El Gato Tuerto a clear local identity, while the bar serves beer, wine and cocktails. This combination makes it suitable for diners looking for a meal as well as for visitors seeking drinks in a music-focused setting.

Live jazz is a central part of the venue’s character. Performances take place regularly, adding a musical element to the dining and bar experience. The music, cocktails and patio seating create a setting that can work across different parts of an evening, from a meal to drinks with live entertainment.

El Gato Tuerto also accommodates outdoor dining through its patio. That option gives visitors a choice between the restaurant’s indoor space and an open-air setting, subject to seating availability. The venue’s food, drinks and music can be combined in one visit rather than treated as separate offerings.

The bar is described as vibrant and is rated 4.1 from 233 reviews. Its facilities include dine-in service, outdoor seating, beer, wine, cocktails and live music. Group dining is supported, making the venue a practical option for parties seeking a shared meal or drinks in a lively setting.

Located in Vedado, El Gato Tuerto fits visitors interested in Cuban food, cocktails and live jazz within the same venue. Reservation arrangements, performance times and dietary suitability should be confirmed directly with the venue before a visit, since these details can affect planning.
