La Canchánchara
A bar in an old house known for its namesake cocktail, served in clay mugs with rum, honey, and lime. There is often a live band in the courtyard.
The canchánchara was a drink enjoyed by Mambí fighters during the Cuban War of Independence. It is made with cane spirit or rum, honey, lime, and water, and served in locally fired clay mugs. This bar of the same name is housed in an 18th-century house and is the top choice for trying Trinidad's signature drink. A live band plays in the courtyard even during the day, so the atmosphere is lively. A drink is inexpensive (check on site), and you can buy the clay mug to take home as a souvenir. It's a two-minute walk northwest of Plaza Mayor.
