In recent years, Varadero has sprouted a copy of Hemingway's favorite Havana dive bar, aka La Bodeguita del Medio, a cool place where musicians strum in the courtyard and punters add graffiti to the walls inside while sipping afternoon mojitos. The question is – can you really successfully make a boho dive bar into a chain?
There's decent comida criolla (Creole food), too.
