About
Tucked into the vibrant social fabric of Mytilini, the island's lively capital, Cubano is a cocktail bar that brings a spirited, Latin-inflected energy to the Aegean. The bar draws its character from the classic traditions of Cuban mixology, offering a curated selection of rum-based cocktails alongside creative concoctions that pair well with the relaxed Mediterranean mood of the city. Whether you settle in for a mojito or explore something from the bartender's repertoire, the atmosphere is convivial and unhurried in the way that Mytilini nightlife tends to be.
Mytilini itself is a city that knows how to enjoy an evening, with a long promenade, waterfront cafes, and a bar scene that comes alive well after sundown. Cubano fits naturally into this rhythm, offering visitors a place to unwind after a day exploring the island's beaches, villages, or the imposing medieval castle that watches over the harbour. The cocktail culture here reflects a broader cosmopolitan streak in Mytilini, a university city and regional capital that blends Aegean tradition with a younger, outward-looking energy. A stop at Cubano makes for a fine way to end a day on Lesvos, glass in hand and the warm island night stretching out ahead.
Before you go
What to expect
Cubano has a dimly lit, Latin-tinged character that stands out from the standard café scene on the Mytilini waterfront — expect rum-forward cocktails made with care, a soundtrack that shifts with the hour, and a crowd that arrives late and stays settled in. The pacing is easy and the mood genuinely festive, the kind of bar where a single drink stretches comfortably into two.
Best time to visit
Late spring through early autumn is ideal; July and August bring the liveliest crowds, while June and September offer the same warm nights with a slightly calmer atmosphere.
How to get there
Cubano sits right in the heart of Mytilini, a short walk from the main waterfront promenade — if you are staying anywhere in the city centre, you will reach it on foot in a few minutes.

This hotel was STUNNING the pool is refreshing and cool — the drinks are delicious, the owner playing the piano and the sounds wafting down was like a slice of heaven. The rooms are so insanely adorable, somehow classic cozy and modern all at the same time. If I could have stayed longer I would have! We have been traveling all over Turkey and this spot will NOT disappoint.

It has a very fun atmosphere, but you might have to wait a little at the door since it gets really crowded. The music is great, but I think the cocktails are not very good. This place is better for chatting and having fun rather than for cocktails. They also serve some nuts alongside the drinks.

I saw the drawings of this cocktail bar on social media and it seemed nice to me. I wanted to drink Cuban cocktail recipe to memorize my visit to Cuba. However the daiquiri I had was far from a Cuban drink. Additionally the chips which were brought next to it looked like leftovers. Despite this I had some from the top. When I reached in the middle of the bow one of the chips was completely wet. Hard to imagine what happened. Thus if you have money and time to waste give a chance.

One star goes to atmosphere. It’s in a nice alley and well decorated. However service is very rude - the waitress gave as a welcoming frown and the cocktails are really bad. What we tasted is far from a daiquiri or mojito.

Very nice atmosphere an music. Service was deadly slow not due to personel themselves but because there was not enough number of personel. We have waited about an hour for our first drinks and canceled them then leave.
