Cuban in Istanbul
The new restaurant/bar Cuba in Tunel Istanbul was surprisingly inexpensive (~17ytl for a mojito, ~17 for an main course chili con carne) yet still not worth it. the chili con carne tasted scorched. a friend got something resembling high school cafeteria pizza boat dressed with sliced hot dogs.
Though cuban food in general is nothing to rave about, in my opinion, the food at Cuba is actually BAD.
The space is nice, occupying the old home of SAF (another bogus Istanbul endeavor). Music was nice too. They seem to have live music on the weekends.
I'd return to CUBA for drinks only, after eating something on the street of course.

its located in Asmali Mescit just off of Tunel Square at the end of Istklal Blvd in the Beyoglu district. I dont know the address but you should be able to find it easily. Its just 2 doors down from House Cafe. Yes there were dancers. That side of the operation seemed quite well organized. If I am not mistaken, there were a couple of house dancers from Cuba.
Anyway, drink and dance, but i'd pass on the food.
