Complimentary Cuba Libre Cocktail at Old City’s Cuba Libre

Fidel Castro died on Friday. Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar will be the first Cuban restaurant to recognize (let’s not say celebrate) the death of the iconic despot with a complimentary cocktail promotion.

Located at 10 S. 2nd Street in Old City, they will offer a complimentary Cuba Libre cocktail (rum and coke) to guests during Happy Hour for the nine days leading up to Castro’s funeral on December 4.
