Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar Comes from Philly to DC

Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar, with locations in Philadelphia, Orlando and Atlantic City, is headed to DC. Co-owners Barry Gutin and Larry Cohen recently signed a lease for a space at the corner of Ninth and H Streets and plan to open the fourth Cuba Libre in the spring of 2010.

The 200-seat restaurant will serve lunch and dinner, and plans include a large patio with a décor that they hope will transport guests to Old Havana circa 1950 - open-air, tropical drinks and Latin rhythms. The restaurants are under the culinary direction of Chef Guillermo Pernot. (799 Ninth Street, NW)
