Birmingham is renowned for being welcoming to people from all over the world, and that is perfectly highlighted in the selection of bars that are available around the city. However, those looking for a simple beer and sport may be best placed to look elsewhere, as these bars are targeted towards those that love to drink rum and salsa the night away. These are four bars that must be tried by those looking for a Central American theme to their night out.
The Cuban Embassy
There aren’t many bars in the city that have as much character as The Cuban Embassy. This bar does an excellent job in bringing the Cuban atmosphere to the second city, and it is the perfect place to unwind with some Cuban cocktails and classic Latin music. It is certainly a must-attend for rum lovers as there are over 120 in total. There is also an extensive drinks menu available, with our favourite being the El Castro. There is also food available and live music, what better way to spend the evening.

Revolucion de Cuba Birmingham
There is an authentic Cuban experience to be had in Revolucion de Cuba. The bar is perfectly reminiscent of what travellers to the Central American country can expect, and with a Latin-inspired menu that is filled with delightful tapas dishes, customers will be left thrilled with the service. There is also the added excitement of a live salsa band. Customers will believe that they are in Cuba instead of Birmingham after a couple of cocktails in this bar. There is also a lunchtime menu and a special vegan menu.

The Jam House Birmingham
The Jam House has become a staple of the city nightlife, and there is also a special Latin themed night every month. The special night takes place on the last Thursday of every month, and visitors can expect to hear the glorious salsa band in full swing from 10 pm. There are also DJs on hand to play classic Latin music after the band is finished, which means customers will be having a late-night experience like they would get if they were in Central America.

Las Iguanas
Taking a modern twist on Latin American food, Las Iguanas brings all those great flavours to your doorstep. With an outstanding cocktail menu, unbeatable bottomless brunches, and mouth watering mains this restaurant will not disappoint. The restaurant has regular offers and events such as their 2 for 1 cocktails and nacho eating challenges where if you clear the plate the food is completely free. From empanadas, loaded nachos, and tacos there is a great variation including tons of veggie and vegan options.
