Welcome to El Sótano, a new Cuban restaurant, bakery, and cocktail bar in Atlanta, opening soon at 1245 Glenwood Avenue SE. More than just a place to eat, El Sótano is a destination that combines food, drinks, music, and atmosphere into one unforgettable experience.
Our community-forward concept brings together a restaurant, Cuban bakery, juice bar, and cocktail lounge under one roof. Whether you’re here for breakfast pastries, a lively dinner, or late-night drinks, El Sótano is designed to be a space for everyone.
Our menu celebrates authentic Cuban cuisine with fresh, made-from-scratch flavors. Enjoy Cuban sandwiches, pastries and breads straight from the bakery, and tacos with handmade corn tortillas. From breakfast and brunch to late-night dining, El Sótano brings the essence of Havana to Atlanta.
Our beverage program honors Cuban traditions with a modern twist. From classic piña coladas to deconstructed Cuban cocktails and refreshing mocktails with fresh juices, every sip tells a story of Cuba’s vibrant culture reimagined for today.
As you enter the lounge, you’re instantly transported to a sun-kissed Havana terrace. The air is alive with the soft rustle of palm fronds and the glow of warm light. Woven rattan chairs, tropical plants, and weathered wood tables create a cozy, welcoming vibe. The walls, painted in coral, sage, and faded turquoise, echo the beauty of old Cuban mansions by the sea. Vintage pendant lights flicker against the rhythm of salsa and Afro-Cuban jazz, setting the perfect mood for an evening in Havana — right here in Atlanta.
