Early karaoke on Sunday nights! So much fun. They seem to have activities all week long. You can order food at the taco truck and eat it here, the na drink list is quite extensive and really tasty. The bartender was so cute and friendly and made us feel really welcomed. Can't wait to go back.
This is a great neighborhood bar. Great cocktails and drink specials - including the great "Saturday Saunter" deal (5 signature cocktail!). The staff is friendly. And they have great music: incredible artists with no cover. And with Betos Taco Truck attached (in the parking lot), it really doesn't get better. Wonderful addition to St Johns.

We come every week for their amazing Taco Tuesday night! They partner with Betos, so you can get the best tacos and burritos to go along with the amazing drinks. The staff is all amazing and so welcoming, they have a lovely outdoor patio, AND they have live music! A must visit in St. John’s!
What a gem and we in St John’s are lucky to have this place. Great cocktails, experienced and friendly bar staff and amazing music. This place punches way above its weight.
Havelina is such a wonderful gem of a cocktail bar—the performance space is unlike any I’ve ever seen. It has a very Tiny Desk feel to it. I have never had a bad drink or a bad bit of service at Havelina, and it is one of the only spaces I have ever seen where you can experience so much music for FREE! You can save all your cover fee cash to support the bands you’re enjoying. In my mind, Havelina is an essential St. John’s third place and I am ever grateful for its existence. Try one of their signature cocktails while hearing a band you’ve never heard of play you to cloud nine and you’ll see what I mean
Open mic night - Mondays 7-10 Real music
Lovely atmosphere. One can serendipitously find great music in a variety of genres, entertainment, or drink specials almost any time of day. The bar tenders are friendly, and the cocktails are carefully crafted and delicious. We wander in multiple times a week and are never disappointed.
