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.

    Always love Cuba Libre. We love to try different places. But Cuba Libre is always on the go back to list. Just for the record, it’s not a long list.

    This was our firs time having Cuban food together and I am absolutely blown away! I recently attended a brunch at Cuba Libre and had a great time, so when it was time to pick where we wanted to go for our anniversary dinner, I tapped Cuba Libre as our pick. To say we were pleased is an understatement. The food was fantastic, the cocktails were outstanding, and the service was top-notch (shout out to Ariel for making some great recommendations!). The ambiance is also really cool--it's decorated to look like you're dining alfresco on a street in Cuba. I absolutely LOVE the ambiance. We will definitely be back!! Just to note: when you make your reservation, bear in mind that Cuba Libre turns over to a club starting at 11pm, so if you like to take a while to dine, you'll want to make sure you grab one of the earlier reservations or make sure that you give yourself plenty of time to finish your meal if clubbing isn't your thing.
