Little Havana Voted Baltimore’s Best Bar
In a recent unscientific, unvalidated poll of 1 local Baltimore resident, Little Havana was voted Baltimore’s best bar. Little Havana is located on the water at 1325 Key Highway in South Baltimore - nestled between Harborview and Locust Point. The bar scored well on all key criteria.
-
- Outdoor seating and bar area.
-
- “Waterfront”
-
- Large enough that it never gets too packed.
-
- The bartenders are fast and reasonably friendly.
-
- Pretty good food.
-
- Blue Moon on tap. Yeah I know men aren’t supposed to put fruit in their beer, but whatever…
-
- Walking distance from my house.

I also enjoy Little havana. But they do need to add some quality TVs. The small ones hidden behind the bar don’t cut it. Parking is the other problem there - but same goes for any bar in Fed Hill.
I live only a couple blocks from Little Havana and usually make an effort to avoid it. Never have I felt that bartenders cared less about my business or satisfaction than at this bar. In my opinion they are the most nonchalant bartenders in the Federal Hill/Locust Point area. By nonchalant, I mean that their demeanor gives me the vibe that “I’ll get your beer when I feel like it. You’ll just have to deal with that.” Short story long, my friends and I used to go for brunch regularly until we got fed up with the bartenders and their sub-par service.
That’s interesting. I have always had pretty good luck with the bartenders there. Probably because there always seems to be a few working, and it’s never overly crowded when I go. Sunday’s could be a different story - I understand it’s pretty busy for brunch.
I always hear mixed opinions there. I get the impression if you are the least bit rude, don’t tip well, or are impatient, they give you “nonchalant” service.
The bartenders are nonchalant. I may be in the minority, but I don’t need a bartender to chit chat with me, just get me a drink reasonably fast. So I think they do a decent job. Guess I will have to go back and give them another test.
I love Little Havana. It is my favorite bar in Baltimore due to its large size, convenience, and the mojitos. I think the service is just fine. No one has ever been rude to me and I have frequented the place many times.
I agree with all but Matt. My friends know the bartenders really well. two or three nights a week at the bar will build friendships. When I am there with them, the bartenders are all quick and very nice. I would imagine if they aren’t nice to you, you should take a long look in the mirror and ask yourself why you mom even liked you.
