Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar

From the moment I walked into this Cuban-inspired bar, I was welcomed with a warm, vibrant energy that instantly set the tone for a great experience. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and relaxed, with rich décor, soft lighting, and a rhythm in the air that feels authentically Cuban. The food did not disappoint. Every dish was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. From well-seasoned classics to perfectly prepared sides, everything tasted fresh and satisfying. The menu offers a great variety, making it easy to find something for everyone. They also offer a great happy hour, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day with good deals and a fun, upbeat vibe. As the night goes on, the vibe shifts in the best way—this spot transforms into a lively dance bar with great music and an energetic crowd, making it perfect for a full night out. Whether you’re stopping by for dinner, catching happy hour, or staying late to enjoy the music and dancing, this place is definitely worth visiting. I’ll absolutely be back.

The best way I can describe our experience is inconsistent. We ordered the pork belly as an appetizer, the lechon asado, Vaca frita, and steak and eggs from the brunch menu. The appetizer and bread & mango bread came out moments before our meals. The pork belly was cold with a lot of fat. Still tasty, but cold. The steak, eggs, and potatoes were cold as well and lacked flavoring. The Vaca frita and lechon asado were excellent! The brisket was so good we asked for the sauce to put on the steak and eggs. And the bread oh my goodness the bread is soooo super yummy good. Eileen was fantastic as well and she was working the bar but very attentive to us. We also ordered a nonalcoholic rum punch and mojito, they were both ok. For the money I expected the drinks to be as good as the bread. We'd go back for the brisket, pork and bread. And totally ask to sit in Eileen's section. This time though we would have to comment if the food is cold again.

I had a great experience at Cuba Libre recently. The food was delicious and the drinks were even better. If you’ve never been there before, I highly recommend asking for Sonny—he was our server and he was awesome. He really knew the menu and gave us some perfect suggestions for both the food and the cocktails. I’d definitely tell anyone to give this place a try. Just a heads-up if you're planning a late night: they actually turn into a nightclub after 10:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which is a cool bonus if you're looking to stay out late!

Came for brunch/lunch after spending some time on the Mall. Quick and easy walk and definitely better than a food truck. We had yuca fries to start, followed by ropa vieja hash (brunch special) and roasted pork sandwich. All the food was amazing, on par with what we are used to getting when we visit Miami. Star of the meal was the hash - it was so delicious and full of flavor without being too much food. Side note - their forks are tridents (only three tines). Zero stars on cutlery choice.

We came here because we heard about dancing at night but we got here a little too early. It was around 930 pm so we just ordered some food. We had the ropa vieja & the empanadas. The Ropa Vieja was good but it only comes with white rice (I’m used to them always serving it with black beans and rice or with Congri & maduros). The empanadas were fried too hard. I didn’t really like them. The drinks were average. The place is pretty cute and when were leaving, they were starting to pick up the tables & the music was really great. The bathroom, however, had a long line.
