Cuban-style salsa club in Laureles with a live band and free class on Thursday and Sunday nights, COP 20,000 cover and a mostly local crowd.

Son Havana at Carrera 73 #44-56 in Laureles is a Cuban-style salsa club on the edge of the La 70 strip. Salsa Vida lists two weekly live nights for 2026: a Thursday social from 20:00 to 00:00 with a free dance class at 20:00 and the band La Sonora, and a Sunday night from 19:30 to 23:30 with a free class at 19:30 and Orquesta La Central. Both list a COP 20,000 cover, and the Thursday listing calls it a cultural contribution. TripAdvisor reviewers also report a Wednesday class at 20:00 and live bands on Friday and Saturday, with later finishes than the listed midweek nights.

The room is small and fills quickly, so reviewers advise arriving by 20:00 for a table. One January 2024 reviewer reported that cards were not accepted, so carry cash, and a December 2024 reviewer paid COP 8,000 for a beer. Reviewers say weekends are mostly local and weekdays more mixed. Contact is sonhavanabar@gmail.com or +57 310 5156550. Not for you if you want a DJ and a late finish on a Thursday: the listed Thursday set ends at midnight.
