Cienfuegos

When UrbanDaddy announced this hot spot back in April we got excited! A rum bar, LES, old school feel rooms that are pink = new spot for us! Yippie!! Getting there is a pain in the ass, really if you don't have a private car, take a taxi, a scooter, well then get ready for the 10 minute plus walk from the subway. The day we visited was like every summer day in NYC, 90 degrees plus 100 degrees of humidity, not fun. We stepped into this tiny bar and gave our name to the host.

After waiting for an hour we were finally brought upstairs to a room packed with people and no A/C...fabulous! We quickly opted for two punch bowls, 6 Toe Punch & Cuba Copana. YUM!! 30 minutes later the punch bowls were wiped clean. Dinner was next, we ordered 3 orders of sloppy joes, plantain chips, a simple salad and veggie empanadas. Let's just say the drinks are way better then the food and we would definitely go back but not in this heat.

Cienfuegos - great punch bowls, good for groups, rum lovers will be feliz
