About Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar

Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar in Washington DC offers an authentic Cuban experience with excellent food, including delicious croquettes. The atmosphere is reminiscent of Havana, featuring beautiful decor and fast, friendly service. The restaurant serves generous portions and plenty of dairy-free options, making it a good social spot for gatherings. The passion fruit margarita remains a standout, and the bar area, with bartenders like Nelson, is fun for a night out, especially for enjoying mojitos. While some dishes, like the Masitas de Puerto Fritas, may not meet everyone's expectations, the September tasting menu provides great food at an affordable price. Guests have enjoyed trying dishes such as ropa vieja and empanadas, although some found the empanadas fried too hard. The place sometimes hosts dancing at night, adding to its lively vibe, though arriving early might mean missing the dancing. The decor is pretty, and the music is great when the restaurant gets lively. The bathroom lines can be long, but overall, Cuba Libre remains a highly recommended spot for a taste of Cuban cuisine and a fun night out.

Yes, I recommend Cuba Libre Rest. DC

No soy una persona de poner comentarios pero no me gustaría que a alguien mas le pase lo que me hicieron a mi, soy una persona que no voy a pelear en lo absoluto y tampoco lo hice ese día, pero quiero que vean como me cobraron por UNA botella más de 545$ + 40$ que pague para entrar, el servicio de verdad que fue muy malo, he trabajado en restaurante como mesera, manager y ahora tengo mi propio negocio y de verdad que NUNCA había visto algo como esto. Pague mis 20$ de entrada...read full review
