Went for cocktails - Amazing. The hostess wasn’t happy that we were not having the main course. Cocktails were good and appetite was fantastic.
We felt we should be able to choose whether we want to have appetisers or the main course or both. Annoying attitude from the hostess just because we were not having the main course was disappointing.
Cuba Libre - DCResponded on April 15, 2025
Reena, we're so sorry to hear that the hostess made you feel that way during your recent visit - that's unacceptable and not at all how we want our guests to feel. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with the warm hospitality we're known for. Our happy hour from 4-7pm Monday through Friday is a great opportunity to enjoy small plates and cocktails at a great value! We hope to welcome you back soon.

The Cuba Libre is a nice social establishment but the food could be better the price point. It is a nice spot for small boys or girls night out not so much for couples date night.
Cuba Libre - DCResponded on April 15, 2025
Hi Reginald, thank you for your honest feedback. We regret that our atmosphere didn't quite hit the mark for a special date night during your recent visit. We suggest trying our new 'Visit to Havana' Chef's Tasting Menu on your next outing! This 5-course culinary journey through the flavors of Havana provides an intimate setting to savor Cuban cuisine at its finest. We'd be honored to have you back to create a more memorable evening.

Fairly mediocre drinks and honestly disappointing food. We were seated in a back room in the corner, and proceeded to wait probably 20 minutes before someone came around to ask about drinks. The second room, “La Galleria” was a totally dead room that felt like we had been tucked away somewhere and forgotten. The servers were great but overbooked, and the food we got (Masitas de puerto Fritas) was totally fatty. Overall, good servers (but not great service) and mediocre & overpriced food and drinks.

Your support truly means the world to us, Gretchen! We're always striving to transport our guests to Havana through our vibrant atmosphere and authentic flavors. If you're looking to keep the good times going after dinner, be sure to check out our DJ dance party on Fridays and Saturdays after dinner—your receipt will get you in for free that same week!

I recently visited Cuba libre, and while the food didn’t meet expectations, the after-party was a highlight. After 10:30PM, on Friday and Sat. the venue transforms into a lively club atmosphere, offering a fun and energetic environment to conclude the evening.
If you’re planning to dine there, be prepared for a less-than-stellar meal. However, if you’re looking for a vibrant nightlife experience, the post-dining transformation into a club is worth considering.
