"Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar is one of Old City’s most indisputable culinary gems. Reliable, festive, and flavorful – it gets the job done for any diner looking for a night out without much fuss. In maintaining this stellar reputation, they’ve released a new “Taste of Havana” chef’s tasting menu that features some of their most beloved Cuban dishes. For under $50 per diner, I enjoyed everything from their spicy beef empanadas, creamy chicken croquetas, plantain chips with several seasonal salsas, rum-pineapple glazed shrimp skewers, tres leches cake, and so much more. It was the ideal meal for catching up with one of my best friends on a weekday night, and I’m already envisioning other ways to return for a larger dinner party of sorts." - Ernest Owens
"Cuba Libra wants diners to ring in 2024 with a festive tasting of their Cuban cuisine. For $125 a person, dines can experience a five-course dinner, late-night admission inside the bar, a champagne toast, DJ, dancing, party favors, and a non-alcoholic beverages open bar. Reservations are now available to be made at SevenRooms." - Ernest Owens
"One of the most expansive Cuban restaurant in Philly, this popular spot is perfect for immersing yourself beyond the cuisine, but within the live cultural music and dancing as well. Their pitcher-perfect sangrias and mojitos pair well with their outstanding shrimp Cubano that features jumbo shrimp in savory tomato and culantro sauce alongside rice and delicious maduros." - Ernest Owens
"Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar is hoping a host of incentives will encourage people to apply for over 60 available hourly restaurant and nightlife roles." - Monica Burton
"Keenan Anderson, a bartender and server who has worked at the Havana-themed Cuba Libre in Old City for more than five years and within the service industry for a decade, says he feels safe going to work indoors at his restaurant but he’s worried about being able to make enough money with fewer customers." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
