The Centro Cultural Bertolt Brecht was established in 1988. It was re-opened in 2008, after being fully restored, with new stage equipment, furniture and air-conditioning. It consists of two halls for theater performances, Tito Junco and Sala Estudio, and, also the Café Teatro Bertolt Brecht and the Raúl Oliva gallery. It is the permanent headquarters of groups such as Little Havana Theater, Teatro Mío , Teatro del Círculo and Teatro D´Dos.

The Café Teatro Bertolt Brecht, one of the coolest night spot in Havana, is located on the basement of the building. It is an informal and popular music venue for some of the best contemporary Cuban musicians, such as Sintesis, David Torrens, Qba Libre, Polito Ibáñez, Interactivo and Raul Paz.

The ceiling is low. Fortunately, it is a non-smoking place (except the corridor). To be able to sit on a table, you have to come early. The crowd consists of mostly young Cubans. Like in similar places, the screaming girls are at the front. There is no real dance floor, but you have to move to the music already. The doors open at 23:00. There is also another café of the complex in front of the building that is open at day time.
