  A must see if you're in Santa Clara. It's mostly in support of GLBTQ community. During the day there was no entree fee, but after 22:00 they have shows and there's definitely a queue which starts at 21:00. I'm not sure what the fee was, but wouldn't be more than 3 cuc. Don't park your car in the streets of Santa Clara unattended.

  I saw some interesting things in my life. And one of them was watching a drag queen performing next to Fidel Castro and Che Guevara photos! This is a great place where you can meet interesting people; but it's not for everybody. It is artistic but not pretentious; good live music and theatre without being exclusive; open to all ages and all peoples....as any art venue should be! (Just a small disclaimer: Exercise the normal caution because you will also meet some of those who want to trick you in touristic traps). Santa Clara is not a touristic city, but it has the 2nd biggest university in the country. This makes it young city by excellence. This young generation needs places of manifestation to express their ideas and feelings. And then come El Mejunje 'Mejunje' or "the brew" is one of the few places where i felt Cubans feel free and able to express themselves(within limits of course). The place is divided into the cultural center, where there is always an event happening(a theatre play or film screening). And then there is the bar/club, which host a daily drag queen show(believe it or not!) and occasionally live hard rock/metal/alternative music. The place also works on campaigns to raise awareness about LGBT community rights and STDs among locals. I am pretty sure the director is well-connected, because LGBT rights and (relative) freedom of expression is such a sensitive topic in the country. So to cut a long story short, absolutely worth an evening when in town, be sure to try to time your visit with a big band playing loud and lively. Grab a drink from one of the three bars, then strike up a conversation or just dance with one of the locals or visitors nearby

  Preferate place in Santa Clara, every day have different show. There is 2 bars, one on bottom floor with plastic cup, second on second floor and more private. This club is melting pot of students, worker and LGBT, all having fun. Thanks to Piry, you can get free drink at 3. Say your my friend! Second floor is best for special drink, talking and music listening. First floor is dance floor, or show floor if any.( No show on Monday). Shows can be viewed from both floor.
