| On August 10, 2003, Jacksonville
experienced an authentic taste of Cuban culture when Cuba Libre Bar at
Havana-Jax opened. Cuba Libre Bar, the first upscale Latin club in
Jacksonville, is located next to its sister restaurant Havana Jax The owner, Silvia Pulido, says the club's opening was inspired by her four children, who were all raised in Jacksonville, Florida. After high school, three of the children left the United States to pursue the medical profession in Costa Rica, where they enjoyed a unique Latin nightlife. Since their return, Silvia was inspired to give Jacksonville a high-end nightclub infused with her native Latin culture. Cuba Libre offers Latin music; a dance floor; a large-screen projection television; plush leather couches; beautiful, native art work; and exotic drinks native to the Caribbean. One of the special drinks that is served is the "Mojito". This drink was first mixed in Cuba and made famous worldwide by author Ernest Hemingway. There is a Happy Hour with drink specials and appetizers, along with regular special events. The club also is available for corporate meetings or private parties with all Audio/Visual equipment available. Please contact us for advanced scheduling and pricing.
