Ball & Chain

Little Havana's entertainment anchor is back up and running, loaded with the same lineup of tropical cocktails and live music under the pineapple, after nearly a year and a half of COVID closures and code compliance harassment at the hands of Joe Carollo.

Locals come for the fantastic live music, the drinks, and the promise of never having to pay a cover charge. Tourists come to sip mojitos, smoke cigarettes, and tango. Both sides manage to coexist peacefully, maybe due to the calming effect of Ball & Chain's back patio, which is particularly beautiful at sunset. When the sun goes down, this location comes alive with loud music and confetti showers. Stop into the historic center bar during the day for a bright, breezy Mojito and look around at the classic posters touting jazz greats who formerly performed there. Head out back at night for live music and fine cigars, a taste of Cuban culture within a short walk of downtown.
