Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar

writes...
  • Cuba Libre features a contemporary interpretation of traditional Cuban cuisine and a broad base of authentic Cuban cocktails, including the largest selection of rum in Philadelphia. The restaurant’s interior has a beautifully weathered historical feel. The materials combine warm mahogany and oak, cracked tile, painted plaster, exposed concrete and brick, and iron railings. With iron balconies overlooking a courtyard, a dramatic 30-foot ceiling, and paddle fans turning lazily, the space looks and feels like a street in Old Havana in the mid 1950s. Cuba Libre will not accept reservation from diners under the age of 21 after 9PM on Friday and Saturday, and the dress code for Friday and Saturday is upscale casual.
