With a name like Fidel you expect cigars and green fatigues. And that's what you get. This intimate bar is decorated with black-and-white photos of the revolution and lots of cigar paraphernalia. The music is a blend of Latin, bossa nova, and Brazilian. Most evenings feature live music (cover R$8/US$4/£2). The menu has some excellent pub food, plus mojitos and cubanitos. Open Tuesday through Thursday 5:30pm to 1:30am, Friday and Saturday 5:30pm to 3am.
