Latin Square Restaurant & Havana Bar London Review

Book a table at Latin Square Restaurant & Havana Bar
Latin Square describes itself as a Restaurant and Havana Bar – so Cubans all round then? I was meeting a group of friends post work for a drink and gossip with no clear drinking or eating agenda; intention is everything.
I got to Latin Square around six thirty and was greeted by some blasting Latino beats; nothing outlandish in the catalogue, just the usual Ricky Martin and associated clones. This was no bad thing, as it was clear that I had arrived when the party was in full swing; spontaneous dancing was breaking out all over the bar area and during the course of the night even I with my refined dour disposition was dragged up to display my dancing talents (sadly I’m more Fred Flintstone than Astaire).
The bar section of Latin Square is a long room of exposed brickwork and Cuban themed prints top and tailed with seating areas; wooden tables at the entrance and cushioned benches for lounging at the back. The bar itself dominates one wall and although not serving anything draught, has a wide selection of bottled beers coming in at about £2.50 – very reasonable for the city - and several pages of cocktails ranging from the traditional to the adventurous. These are available in both glass - £4.50 – and pitcher form (for those whose livers know no fear).
The bar staff at Latin Square were excellent, even with the place rammed full of thirsty twenty and thirty somethings I never had to wait long to get my paws on my next drink.
Cocktails and beer naturally leads to the munchies (especially when the happy hour is between 5 and 8) and after a couple of hours our group were ready to gorge in the restaurant. There were a large variety of dishes available, we went for a chorizo heavy selection of tapas but there were main courses, desserts and a good choice of clearly marked vegetarian options. Service was fast, food delicious and portions large (given the state we were in, an important point). Prices were very reasonable; a tapas dish will put you back about the same as a bottle of beer.
As you can tell from the above, I really enjoyed my night in Farringdon Road’s Havana; nobody in our group even considered moving on. It says a lot for a bar’s atmosphere that when the music switched to a mix of eighties and nineties ‘classics’ mid-way through the evening, and the travesty that is ‘Agadoo’ was belted out, half the clientele immediately got up to go through the appropriate gyrations (and those in our group that followed suite, be assured, I am ashamed to know you).

I went to Latin Square this weekend and i have to say the environment and staff is nice but the crew wasn't nice at all, this place used to be better, kind of place you can go with friends and enjoy nicely the Latino environment, not this weekend. I think this kind of party like this weekend doesn't match with the place, in the end we left early when we had already paid the entrance cause it was chaotic, the members of staff were great dealing with the crew, but it was impossible for them to offer a proper service even when they tried, personally i don't want to go there anymore.”

We went to Latin Square last week for my boyfriend's birthday. I did not understand why he choose to go there ( as it is almost an hour away to our office) until I got there.
It is a great place for a good night out. Tapas were tasty and cocktails were great. I loved the mango flavored mojito. Everyone must try if you go there.
We decided to go Club downstairs after our meal. That was a good finish for the night for 25 of us. Helpful and friendly staff.”
