 It used to be a legendary student hang-out called '''The West End''', whose clients included the likes of [[Beat Generation]] writers [[Allen Ginsberg]] and [[Jack Kerouac]], as well as later Columbians like [[Barack Obama]] and [[Lauryn Hill]]. Ginsberg called it "a university replica of a [[Greenwich Village]] dive".

-Then, in spring [[2006]], it was bought by the Havana Central chain and converted into a Cuban restaurant/bar over the summer. Many people were sad to see The West End close because it was a long time hangout popular for alumni visiting the area. Additionally, underagers are now not allowed to freely wander in and drink.  This can now be done at [[Campo]] or [[the Heights]].

 People have mixed opinions about the new Cuban restaurant. The food isn't great, but it's edible and reasonably priced. The Cuban sandwich at [[Cafe con Leche]] is preferable. The atmosphere is vibrant on nights when the live music is playing.

 Then, in spring [[2006]], it was bought by the Havana Central chain and converted into a boring Cuban restaurant/bar over the summer. Many people were sad to see The West End close because underagers are now not allowed to freely wander in and drink, so it's harder for frat boys to get freshman girls drunk and take advantage of them.  This can now be done at [[Campo]] or [[the Heights]].
