Havana Central at The West End is a bar on Broadway between 113th and 114th St. It used to be a legendary student hang-out called The West End, whose clients included the likes of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Barack Obama, and Lauyrn Hill. Then, in spring 2006, it was bought by the Havana Central chain and converted into a boring Cuban restaurant/bar over the summer. Many people were sad to see The West End close because underagers are not allowed to freely wander in and drink, so it's harder for frat boys to get freshman girls drunk and take advantage of them. This can now be done at Campo or the Heights.
People have mixed opinions about the new Cuban restaurant. The food isn't great, but it's edible and reasonably priced. The Cuban sandwich at Cafe con Leche is preferable. The atmosphere is, well... dead.
