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.

    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.

    I was really impressed they had everything down pat just a week after opening. The food was delicious and the drinks were as well. Ambience on the bar was lovely (less so in view of the fluorescent lights - could do wonders to consult with the designers of Arcana downstairs - some more tropical plants and better lighting would step this place up to a true destination in SF). Will certainly return!

    Got to experience their first brunch service. The ceviche was amazing! So many bright flavors. The Cubano was excellent. Really, all the food was yummy!
