30 Years of Havana

Three decades on Commercial Drive. Countless stories, friendships, celebrations and memories.

For 30 years, Havana has been part of the fabric of Commercial Drive.

What started in 1996 has grown alongside the neighbourhood, welcoming generations of guests through our doors, celebrating big moments, sharing countless meals and becoming part of the stories of the people who have called The Drive home.

Thirty years is a pretty big deal. And we know we didn't get here alone.

So this year, we're looking back at where we've been, celebrating the people who helped shape Havana, and raising a glass to everything still to come.

30 Years. 30 Stories. One Havana.

Every restaurant has a history. Ours is made up of people.

Former owners. Long-time employees. Regulars. Neighbours. Friends. The people who met here, worked here, celebrated here and kept coming back.

We're collecting some of those stories to celebrate the people behind three decades of Havana.

Here's to the Next 30

Thank you to everyone who has walked through our doors, pulled up a chair, shared a drink, worked a shift, celebrated a birthday, brought a friend or simply made Havana part of their life.

Thirty years on Commercial Drive is something worth celebrating.

And we're just getting started.
