History

Established in 2000.

Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar launched to much critical acclaim in Philadelphia in 2000, followed by Atlantic City in 2004, Orlando in 2008, Washington, D.C. in 2010 and Fort Lauderdale in April 2021, providing guests with a passport to Cuba's intriguing flavors and cuisine. The restaurant's name, which translates to "a free Cuba," signifies hope for the future of the treasured island nation. The company's mission is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food, beverage and entertainment experiences that celebrate the Cuban people and culture. Cuba Libre's Founding Chef Guillermo Pernot is a two-time James Beard award winner whose menus feature tantalizing tastes that reflect Cuba's culinary traditions, as well as the emerging modern cuisine he experienced during his many travels to Cuba.
