Agustin Gainza Arts and Tavern

During the day, this sliver of a space along Calle Ocho operates as Agustín Gaínza's personal studio and exhibit space. But on weekend nights, the gallery transforms into a lively wine bar and restaurant run by the artist and his wife. La Taberna del Pintor, the artist's tavern, is a homey place to sip a glass of wine, nibble on charcuterie, listen to live music and get to know more about Cuba's artistic ex-pats. All of Gaínza's paintings hanging on the wall are for sale and well worth the splurge.
