I was at the night here only, but everything depends on DJ . "Two out of three times, it was good, but when the DJ changes the music too quickly, it's not what I like. Everybody is waiting for a drop, but he keeps changing to another song at the perfect moment for dancing. I understand when a DJ makes a joke once or twice, but it happened about 50% of the night."
Great place to go for an after meal drink (and dance if that's your thing!). Music varies, often live, always fun. Total mixture of people of all ages, and that doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone, and for us, added to the atmosphere. Great range of cocktails and bottled beers. I've been there several times for drinks and never disappointed. But I've only eaten there once, and won't again. The service was excellent, but the food offering was limited, boring and distinctly so-so. And grossly overpriced.
Nice spot, there's an entrance fee and they take a copy of your ID, pretty standard these days unfortunately. Spacious inside with a smoking area. Nice dance floor. DJ and a good variety of spirits. Good club
Cuban staff are the absolute best! I've never been to Cuban but i experienced my wallet getting stolen and traced a transaction to Cuban last night, I rushed to the place within an hour of receiving my bank's notification. I was very well taken care of, I explained my situation to security and they got the manager to help me. They handled everything very fast and super efficiently, through security cameras and ID scans, we found who stole and used my bank card within 15 min. Everything was handled smoothly and with care, they all knew what to do and the relief of getting my wallet back washed over me so soon after me getting to Cuban. Everyone who worked there was kind and considerate. I'm now encouraged to go to Cuban properly, as I imagine the experience is as lovely as the staff.
I was told that this was the best (only) gay clubs in Canterbury and I wasn't disappointed. It's really great to have a place where my true sexual feelings can be liberated. Lovely staff and very accommodating (with some extra hardworking bouncers ) And let's not tell you about the toilets... One of the best gay clubs I've been too!
I use a wheelchair and these guys will look after you no matter your situation and are very accommodating. Security also do a great job of making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Top club
Joanna is the biggest assets to the Cuban. Every single week, we get life advice from her. She provides us with lollipops and love every time we visit the toilet. I’ve been here since 2021 and seeing Joanna has always made our night at Cuban. Love Meg, Emma & Chloe x
Collins might just be the best bartender I’ve ever met. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel welcome with his friendly energy and effortless charisma. He’s incredibly skilled at building rapport and genuinely elevates the whole experience—whether it’s through his cocktail recommendations, his sense of humour, or his surprising talent as a wingman. The drinks were excellent, the vibe was lively, and Collins kept the atmosphere upbeat without being over the top. If you’re planning a night out at The Cuban, make sure he’s behind the bar—you’ll be in great hands.
