The Cafe Cantante is a bar/club located directly under the National Theater of Cuba. It is one of the few spots in Havana that draws a good mix of Cubans and foreigners and it feels much more authentic than many of the clubs and music venues in other sections of Havana.
There are afternoon live music performances, usually by bands specializing in traditional Cuban music or salsa. The day I went, there was also a stand-up comedian performing. Another plus is that it's air conditioned, which can be a life saver sometimes in the heat and humiity of Havana summers. A variety of food and drinks are available. Admission is $10 for foreigners and 10 pesos for Cubans.
