About this restaurant

  • Great for scenic views
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
Nestled in the heart of the Mission District, Cubita is more than a rooftop bar—it’s a tribute to the mystery, rhythm, and richness of Cuba. Inspired by our fascination with the island’s culture, Cubita reinterprets tradition with an eye on the future.

From vintage décor and checkerboard floors to palm-fringed views and Afro-Cuban beats, the rooftop is a sensory journey. It’s a place of connection, where food, drink, art and music tell the stories of a vibrant people.
Whether you’re here for a quiet cocktail or a joyful celebration, Cubita is San Francisco’s rooftop tribute to Havana.

                      Cubita’s atmosphere, staff, food and drinks are worth it! Worth the trip, worth the parking in a garage one block away ( this is my second time here, and found street parking this time! 1st time I parked in Bartlett st garage). The staff are super friendly and seems they actually love their work! I love the rooftop. I can’t say enough about this place. Go dressed like you’re in Cuba or casual from your days work. They cater to all.

                      It was our first time since previously known as El Techo and food as well as the drinks did not disappoint!! We tried their brunch menu but definitely want to go back to try their dinner menu!

                      Hi Josh, To be able to see the fireworks from the Mission to Aquatic Park and Pier 39 is a treat! The fogless night was helpful and we hope to see you soon for brunch next time! Cubita

                      Lovwly heightened Cuban dishes. Delicious drinks. Attentive and enthusiastic service by Carmelita. I was raised in South Florida, my daughter is half Cubana, I know Cuban food. This is the best in the Bay Area.

                      Hi Lois, Thank you for you review and imitation is another form of flattery! The effort and thought put into bringing about the flavors of Cuba was something we really strived for. We are glad to have brought a bit of home to you as well and something new to the Mission at the same time. Hope to see you soon! Cubita

                      Food was good. Three of our group are Cuban and they thought it was very authentic. Ambience would be better if they did a better job of blocking the wind. Things were blowing all over, including my drink (which they replaced) but it still spilled all over the table and one of us. Staff was very nice from hosts to servers, but service was VERY slow. Perhaps they were short staffed? Value is not there as the portions are small and you can get so much more in the Mission.

                      What a pleasant surprise! Coming from a Cuban, this was the closest “traditional” Cuban sandwich I’ve had outside of my dad’s. I’ll definitely be back.
