Celebrate a pre-Thanksgiving party at Habana in Costa Mesa with live music on Wednesday, Nov. 22 from 9 p.m. to midnight from Los Mysteriosos.

Also, on Thanksgiving, Thursday, Nov. 23, Habana will be open 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. If you’re not up for cooking the traditional turkey feast or traveling to spend the evening away from OC, they’ll be offering their full dinner menu as well as a special Cuban-inspired pre-fixe Thanksgiving menu.
The newest Habana Irvine at Irvine Spectrum will be a great place to stop by for a bite and drink during Black Friday.
