Self entitled men who think the world revolve around them. I was simply dancing when one aggressive guy approached me and proceeded to tell me what a waste of life I was and how I have ruined everyone's life because I was dancing. I was shocked as he was quite aggressive, my friend had to physically push me away...she thought he was going to hit me. He shud have approached me like a human being and told me what I was doing was not respectful but instead he shouted and spat in my face. So here I am leaving a bad review. Not only was the vibe off, the music was rubbish and drinks too expensive!

Really sad to see Habana close. Had some fun nights out in it. The music was always good. I wish the best of luck to all the staff who worked there.

Stopped here yesterday with my girlfriend. We’re a straight couple and felt very welcome. It was during pride so the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing. So busy we couldn’t move inside so we chilled outside with our drinks. Music was absolute banging inside, but again, pride was on so not sure how representative that is of a typical day.

Love it.. Have been popping in for countless of years, OK some blurred evenings but what remains affordable drinks (not London prices) and a great local vibe. This is a big shout out to the staff they are not only welcoming, friendly but genuinely look after their clientèle. Seriously, this is a wonderful and friendly place. They keep playing good contagious music. Wonderful decor, upstairs seating and bar, fantastic views for people watching. Once the council finishes its overhaul with the streets outside, it can get back to un-interrupted bliss. Before l sign this off... Come and say hi to this amazing and professional staff team that bring the love, the excitement and importantly help to make this place what it has become.... A place of being, a place to interact, a place to meet, a place to just sit alone, or be with friends. Sadly l can only visit once a year, but thankfully its my niece's local! Thank you for always making me feel welcomed.

This place is really friendly, if you are LGBT or not. You can dance, you can chat with people and make friends! I really loved this spot, hope to come back next time in EDH.
