La Bodeguita del Medio started its life as a small, typical Havana grocery store where the owner started selling food and drinks to the regulars. When the regulars were Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Neruda, and Salvador Allende, the place quickly became a center of Havana’s cultural and artistic life.

La Bodeguita del Medio was also famous for its wonderful new cocktail, the mojito. Today, it is a popular tourist hangout and watering hole, where people come to look at the names and signatures written on the walls, see the curious objects and photos that tell the story of its glorious past, and taste its famous mojito.
