Sans Souci Cabaret, Outdoor cabaret in Havana, Cuba

The Sans Souci Cabaret was a nightclub on the outskirts of Havana, about seven miles from the centre, set in a Spanish-style villa. Its stage, dance floor and tables stood under the open sky, with a gambling room holding roulette, craps and chemin de fer. It was destroyed by fire in January 1959.

In the early 1950s the club was bought by Pittsburgh Mafia brothers Gabriel "Kelly" and Sammy Mannarino; in 1955 Santo Trafficante Jr. purchased it, with Norman Rothman staying on as manager. A remodel begun in 1955 cost about one million dollars. In early January 1959, as Castro's rebel army took Havana, the casino was doused in kerosene and burned by mobs.

The 1956 Cabaret Yearbook notes that the Sans Souci's shows were production numbers with name acts, and that good-looking U.S. showgirls were an added attraction. Cuban dancer Olga Chaviano was a star at the venue between 1953 and 1955. The club usually opened only for the winter season.

The cabaret no longer exists: it was burned in early January 1959 as Castro's rebel army entered Havana, and no structure survives at the site. The 1956 Cabaret Yearbook noted that the venue, farther out than the Tropicana, opened only for the winter season, so its shows were timed to that period.

In the 1950s the cabaret was known for gambling games that generated additional income and made it a favored destination for affluent visitors. These aspects of nightlife entertainment were a major part of island tourism in that era.
