The mythicalComodoro hotel nightclub, which was once one of the busiest places in the 1990s in the municipality of Playa, in Havana, is now a large landfill.

The floor without its characteristic marble tiles, the gray and crumbling walls, as well as gaps where windows once existed, is the sad panorama offered by the old nightclub known asHavana Club, reportedCubanet.

In its moment of greatest splendor, it hadcapacity for 800 people and offered three beverage areas: the central bar, the snack bar and the Cascada bar counter.

The former epicenter of dance music closed in 1998 during the so-called “Operation Scourge”, an attempt by the Cuban regime to stop thecorruption, theprostitution and thedrug consumption and sale.

In mid-2000, this emblematic nightclub reopened and closed permanently the following year, despite the fact that the regime announced in 2018 the rehabilitation of the site.a plan that was never realized.

Since then, the Comodoro hotel nightclub, arguably the most famous nightclub in Havana,It is the kingdom of stray dogs, victims of salt spray and people who leave their garbage there..

Many places that were iconic in the life of Cubans years ago are todayswallowed by apathy, the incompetence of the regime and thecuban crisis.

Also in the municipality of Playa is the popular Lisbon pizzeria, better known asLa Copa Pizzeria, another emotional place that little by little fades.

Neighbors and social media users have expressed their regret at seeing how the property, which in the past offered Havana residents quality products at affordable prices, is now nothing more than an unhealthy mass of rubble in the middle of one of the most elite neighborhoods. from the city.

Also in Havana, a Cuban woman confirmed that in the emblematicSt. Lazarus Street, laziness walks through all the buildings and the regime practically does nothing.

The few investments made by the government, as seen in the video, are in the construction and repair of buildings intended for tourism.
