Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar in Old City will celebrate rum during the entire month of August. Every day of the month, during lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, two celebratory rum flights will be offered.
Plus, since National Rum Day falls on Aug. 16, Cuba Libre will offer all rums and rum cocktails at half-price on the holiday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the bar. The restaurant's rum list showcases more than 90 varieties from Guyana, Haiti, Nicaragua and Tortola.
