About Havana @ Summa House
Summa House is an open-air bar on McLachlan Street in Fortitude Valley, laid out like a sprawling backyard with palms, festoon lights and a string of separate party areas. From early evening on weekends it turns into an outdoor nightclub. Havana is one of its larger private spaces and runs over two floors. The lower level has picnic tables and a bar of its own, staffed by a dedicated bartender for your group. Upstairs is a viewing deck that looks back across the rest of the venue, and Little Havana, a seated nook for around 25 on Level 2, comes with the booking. In total Havana takes 50 guests for cocktails or 35 seated, and it can spill onto the neighbouring Cool Deck when you need more room. Food is built for sharing. Smaller groups can pick platters or grazing, while larger functions choose from canapés, meals or all-inclusive packages, with final selections made two to three weeks out. Drinks run on a bar tab or a set drinks package, and cocktails are a big part of the menu. Security, bar staff, sound, festoon lighting, wristbands and all glassware and crockery come with every function. Functions run in two sessions, 1pm to 5pm or 6pm to 10pm, after which the space reopens to the public. Small table decorations such as balloons are welcome, but confetti is not.
